     Which among the following are generally known as the 'twin deficit'?

     Revenue deficit and current account deficit

    Incorrect Answer

     Revenue deficit and capital account deficit

    Incorrect Answer

     Fiscal deficit and current account deficit

    Correct Answer

     Fiscal deficit and capital account deficit

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:
    Fiscal deficit and Current Account Deficit are twin deficits.
    A fiscal deficit occurs when a government's total expenditures exceed the revenue that it generates, excluding money from borrowings. 
    Current account deficit is a measurement of a country’s trade where the value of the goods and services it imports exceeds the value of the goods and services it exports. The current account also includes net income, such as interest and dividends, as well as transfers, such as foreign aid, though these components make up only a small percentage of the current account when compared to exports and imports.
