Correct Answer: Only Statement iii is correct


Solution : The correct option is Only statement iii is correct .

The liquidity preference curve is completely inelastic in a liquidity trap because people are unwilling to invest or spend their money and have a strong desire to cling to it, making the speculative demand for money excessively elastic. This is usually the case when traditional monetary policy tools become ineffective, and nominal interest rates are at or close to zero.
