  2. BRisk Acceptance
  3. CRisk Transfer
  4. DRisk Control
  5. ERisk Avoidance

Answer: D. Risk Control

Requiring the drivers to do and pass the driver safety course is an example of Risk Control. It would fall under education and training under which an individual or group is trained to respond in a correct way so as to control a loss situation and thus contribute to the minimise the amount of ensuing loss.

Question 3
Heavy floods in monsoon causes losses. This is an example of which type of risk? 1. Social Risk 2. Market Risk 3. Physical Risk
  1. AOnly 2
  2. BOnly 3
  3. COnly 1
  4. DBoth 1 and 3
  5. EBoth 2 and 3
Show answer & explanation

Answer: B. Only 3

Heavy monsoon floods are a naturally occurring event causing physical damage, which places this squarely under physical risk, matching option 2 (Only 3, i.e. "Only Physical Risk"). It is not a market risk (concerned with price/economic factors) or purely a social risk (concerned with group/societal behaviour), since the direct cause here is a natural weather event.

Question 4
Identify the products which give the advantage of risk transfer and risk financing. I. Average risk insurance products II. Finite risk reinsurance products III. Weighted risk insurance products
  1. AOnly II
  2. BOnly I
  3. COnly III
  4. DI and II
  5. EI, II and III
Show answer & explanation

Answer: A. Only II

Finite risk reinsurance products are specifically designed to combine the benefits of both risk transfer and risk financing within a single structured product, matching option 1 (Only II). "Average risk insurance" and "weighted risk insurance" are not standard, recognised product categories in the way finite risk reinsurance is.

Question 5
What is the initial step in risk management process?
  1. AAppoint a risk manager
  2. BIdentify the risk
  3. CSet aside budget for managing risk
  4. DAssess the risk potential
  5. EDetermination of level of acceptable risk
Show answer & explanation

Answer: B. Identify the risk

The risk management process must logically begin by identifying the risk, since an organisation cannot assess, budget for, or set acceptable levels for a risk it has not yet recognised exists, matching option 2. Appointing a risk manager or setting a budget are important supporting steps, but they follow after the risks themselves have first been identified.
