 Answers :-  
1)  a  
Explanation– The World Bank is a vital source of financial and   
technical assistance to developing countries  around the world.  It has no relation with price of currency in international    
market. So we can eliminate  option c and option d. 
Price of any currency is determind like price of any other   commodity i.e, by forces of demand and supply. Demand for a 
currency is created by two factors, its exports that is other countrieswho want to buy, or the investments that people want to make in that currency. Therfore, Option 2 is correct.
Stability of the government is very important factor too as an unstable govt may not be able to take effective economic decisions which will in turn affect export and import.
2) 1 & 3 Please note that any money that flows out of RBI leads to increase in the money supply. When the RBI purchases government securities from Public the money flows out of RBI, this will increase the money supply. So statement 1 is correct. When currency is deposited by public in commercial banks, its mere transfer of money from public to commercial banks. the net effect on the money supply is nil.So statement 2 is incorrect. When the Government borrows from RBI, the money again flows out of RBI. To fulfil the demand of the Government, RBI will print new money and this leads to increase in the the money supply thus statement 3 is also correct.
3) 1,2 & 3 Only
Direct Investments and Portfolio investment are basic terms.  Suppose I have Rs. 100 with me. I need to invest it  somewhere. If, I buy a land in Rs. 70, build a factory in Rs. 
 15, get human resources in Rs. 10 and keep Rs. 5 for my  operations, it will be my Direct Investment. If I invest it in a   company in which by investing Rs. 100 I can get some control  in management or take part in its operations, then also it will be my Direct Investment. However, if I think that why to take 
so much of headache, and I just want to make money by  investing on its “listed” securities, make money when price of   securities go up and exit, it will be “portfolio” investment. Now  
prefix Foreign with these two terms and u know what is  difference between FDI and FPI. In this question , options 1, 2 & 3 are correct. 
4) A , 5) A, 6) A, 7) B ,8) C,9) B, 10) B
