S9.Ans.(c)
Sol. An isoquant is a contour line drawn through the set of points at which the same quantity of output is produced while changing the quantities of two or more inputs. In other words, Isoquant is the set of all possible combinations of the two inputs that yield the same maximum possible level of output.

S10. Ans.(b)
Sol.The nominal exchange rate is defined as the number of units of the domestic currency that can purchase a unit of a given foreign currency and vice versa.
