Solution

The correct option is C limited

ANS. B

Barter System can work when there exists ‘Double Coincidence of Wants’. Double Coincidence of Wants refers to the simultaneous fulfillment of mutual wants of buyers and sellers. For example, want for clothing by the farmer coincides with the want of weaver for wheat. However, it is very difficult to find double coincidence of wants in real life. Therefore the market for barter system was limited because of double coincidence of wants.
