what is inflation?

Answer Posted / aishwarya pillai

Inflation is fall in value of money/fall in purchasing
power of money.

Eg: My grandfather was able to buy 10 pencils for Rs.10 in
1990. Now my daughter is able to buy 5 pencils for Rs.10 in
2009.This fall in purchasing power of money from 10 pencils
to 5 pencils during 19 years is called inflation. Now your
money will buy you less than what it used to buy 19 years
back.
