Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The investment multiplier (k) is calculated using the formula: \(k =\frac {ΔY}{ΔI}\)

In this formula:

  • k represents the multiplier.
  • ΔY signifies the change in income.
  • ΔI denotes the change in investment.

We are provided with k = 5 and ΔY = ₹800 crore, and we need to determine ΔI.

Substituting the given values into the formula yields:

\(5 = \frac {800}{ΔI}\)

To find ΔI, we rearrange the equation:

\(ΔI =\frac {800}{5}\)

Performing the calculation:

\(ΔI = 160\)

Therefore, the calculated value for ΔI is ₹160 crore.
