Detailed Solution

The functions which are performed by the ration shops are as follows:
1)      Under a public distribution system, the ration shops distribute items like food grains, sugar, kerosene, or edible oil to the ration card holders.
2)      They charge prices to the public which are lower than the market price. For example, they charge Rs 2 per kg of wheat and Rs 3 per kg of rice.
3)      Ration shops keep a check on the quality of the items to be distributed so that they are not of low quality, etc.
4)      They also maintain a stock register of the items which they receive or distribute so that when they are accountable for something, they can show the data.
