B : Trade deficit

If a land of Mercury had total exports of $150billion and total imports of $234billion, it had a "trade deficit".

Explanation:

Trade deficit can be termed an amount by which a country's costs of imports exceeds cost of exports. It is also known as negative balance of trade. Trade deficit is a term of trade that measures international trade.

Trade deficit is obtained by subtracting a country's export from its imports.

Mathematically :

Trade deficit = imports - exports

Trade deficit occurs when a country foreign debt is greater than what it produce for exports. Also when a country depends on another country for refinering their manufactured goods, such country will experience trade deficit.

It can be controlled by promoting constructions of refineries to process products, productions of raw materials for goods, improving exports and limiting imports.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
