Why revise these together?
The 2022 RBI question (buying securities to fight inflation) and the 2014 interest-rate-effects question together build exactly the rate-vs-inflation transmission logic the target needs, and the MSF/NDTL question adds monetary-policy tooling. The CPI-IW publisher question is a superficial 'who publishes' fact that does not teach the monetary-policy mechanism, so it is pruned. The remaining three substantially prepare a student.
