    55. Option (2) seems most appropriate. Increasing money supply > interest rate comes down > investment is encouraged. Increase in personal income taxes > reduction in disposable income > discouragement of consumption.

    54. The correct answer is (1). This option suits because increase in transfer payments will help the unemployed class, and an increase in reserve requirement will keep the inflation in check. But even then, none of the options seems wholly right. This is the most suitable one among all.
