Answer 1

Answer: C) Over employed

Explanation:

because mahesh was not needed, the earlier workforce was sufficient for the work

Answer 2

Mahesh is underemployed.

• As we can already see that Ramesh along with his assistant was easily managing the medical shop. There was not a big problem to manage the shop by Ramesh and he was being able to do it.

• Underemployment has been one of the major problems faced by India, especially in the agriculture sector where the whole family is engaged in farming activities but it does not affect the total productivity of the land.

• Thus, even if Mahesh would not have joined his father, it was being managed by Ramesh and his assistant. This is also known as disguised unemployment as the person does not seem to be unemployed.
