    The correct answer of question 47 is Option (1). This is because when the central bank buys bonds in the market (what we often call Open Markets Operations or OMOs), it increases money supply in the market. As is obvious, with constant demand when supply rises, price falls. In this case the price being interest rate. So interest rate falls. But the impact on unemployment is not so straight forward. To put it in a simplistic manner, fall in interest rates makes credit cheaper. Investments rise, so does productive capacity. This might create more job opportunities and hence employment rises.
