3. Question 3 of 80

   3. Question

   In a world without walls your company or country has to have a culture that encourages the destruction of established businesses, even while they still seem to be successful, otherwise somebody else will. Compaq got created precisely because IBM was not willing to destroy one of its own computer innovations, the IBM AT, based on the 286 chip, and jump ahead for a faster PC based on the 386 chip, as soon as that microprocessor was available. So Compaq came along and built the 386-based PC instead, and dealt a serious blow to Big Blue.
   Which of the following is the most crucial inference from the above passage?
   (A) Failure of IBM to move to next innovation caused a serious blow to it
   (B) Innovation must be prioritized over established products to remain successful
   (C) Compaq became successful as it jumped ahead for 386 based chip
   (D) A country or a company with walls can be successful without innovation

   • A
   • B
   • C
   • D
   Correct
   

   Incorrect
   

   Option (A) is not the most crucial inference. Though, IBM suffered losses but this statement does not catch the central theme of the passage. This has been given only as an example to support the central theme of the passage.
   Option (C) is wrong as the passage only mentions that Compaq was created which caused loss to the IBM but it cannot be inferred that Compaq became successful.
   Option (D) is wrong because the passage nowhere suggests this statement.
   Option (B) is correct answer as is clear from the first line of the passage. It also captures the gist of the passage. The example of IBM and Compaq has been given to support the case for faster adoption of innovation and new technologies, otherwise one would have to suffer losses.

7. Question 7 of 80

   7. Question

   The arguments endorsing the holding of national and State elections together are well-known. It will curtail expenditure on the holding of elections; enhance developmental activities, now being interrupted by frequent elections that require government announcements to be stopped during the pendency of the Model Code of Conduct; and ensure that Ministers, both in the States and at the Centre, focus on governance rather than on campaigning for their respective parties. Simultaneous polls will also save on deployment of security forces — whether it is the local police, paramilitary forces or, in some cases, the army — for the peaceful conduct of elections. This will, in turn, ensure greater attention to maintaining law and order within the country as well as security on the borders.
   On the basis of above passage, following inferences have been made with regard to simultaneous polls:
   1. It will lead to reduction of money power
   2. It will lead to greater efficiency in governance
   3. It will cause less disruption to the developmental processes.
   Which of the inferences given above is/are correct?
   (A) 1 and 2 only
   (B) 3 only
   (C) 2 and 3 only
   (D) 2 only

   • A
   • B
   • C
   • D
   Correct
   

   Incorrect
   

   Statement 1 is incorrect as the passage does not say anything about the “money power” but only talks about “expenditure of holding elections” in the 2nd line.
   Statement 2 is correct as the passage mentions the benefits of holding simultaneous elections which include less cost of holding elections, enhanced developmental activities, increased focus on governance and greater attention towards maintaining law and order and border security.
   Statement 3 is correct as the arguments provided in the passage can only be used to infer that simultaneous polls will enhance the developmental processes that are currently disrupted by frequent elections that require government announcements to be stopped during the pendency of the Model Code of Conduct.

8. Question 8 of 80

   8. Question

   Public goods, being distinct from private goods, are collectively consumed. Two important features of public goods are – they are non-rivalrous, as one person can increase her satisfaction from the good without reducing that obtained by others and they are non-excludable, as there is no feasible way of excluding anyone from enjoying the benefits of the good. These features make it difficult to collect fees for their use and private enterprise will in general not provide these goods. Hence, they must be provided by the government.
   What does the above passage imply?
   (A) Since public goods are available for free, private sector does not produce them.
   (B) Public goods are difficult to monetize and hence, private sector is reluctant to produce them.
   (C) No public goods are produced in countries where private sector produces all goods.
   (D) Since public goods can be largely charged for use, the private sector can produce some of them.

   • A
   • B
   • C
   • D
   Correct
   

   Incorrect
   

   (A) is incorrect as the passage states the features of the public goods and how they make it “difficult” to charge for usage. It does not state that they are free. The passage further states that the private sector “in general” does not provide these goods. It does not state it does not at all produce them.
   (B) is correct as the passage highlights both the difficulty in charging for these goods and the general non provision of these goods (or reluctance to produce these goods) by the private sector. Hence, (B) is implied by the passage.
   (C) is incorrect as it goes beyond the scope of the passage and cannot be implied by the passage.
   (D) is incorrect as the passage does not specify the quantity of public goods that can be charged for usage. Hence, it cannot be implied by the passage.

10. Question 10 of 80

    10. Question

    Indian independence led to a major change in the direction of economic policy. From a globalised economy integrated into the British Empire, the next 30 years saw a retreat from policies of free trade and capital flows. The newly independent State embraced the idea of development through industrialization. In an economy where capital was scarce and entrepreneurship was concentrated in a few communities, the State stepped in to fill the gap. India was not unusual in this. Many parts of the underdeveloped world moved towards protectionist policies to develop an industrial sector. This was not simply the infant industry argument, which had characterized industrialization in the US and Europe in the 19th century. The role of the State in the second half of the 20th century, was developmental and directly interventionist. In the short term, it raised the rate of growth in many countries.
    Which among the following can be a valid assumption that can be made from the above passage?
    (A) State intervention is always good for the economy.
    (B) Economic policy of British Empire was not appropriate for India during early years of Independence.
    (C) Industrialization in US and Europe in 19th century happened at cost of deindustrialization of their colonies.
    (D) India did not follow the economic policies like other countries that got independence during the same time.

The role of the State in the second half of the 20th century, was developmental and directly interventionist. In the short term, it raised the rate of growth in many countries.
    Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?
    1. At the time of Independence, all industries were controlled by a few families in India
    2. India followed the policies of free trade and capital flows just after the independence.
    3. State intervention in economy of 1950s onwards is different from that of 19th century US and Europe.
    Select the correct answer using the code given below:
    (A) 1 and 2 only
    (B) 3 only
    (C) 1 and 3 only
    (D) 1, 2 and 3

    • A

    Statement 1 is incorrect since the passage says that entrepreneurship was concentrated in a few communities but not all companies being controlled by a few “families”.
    Statement 2 is incorrect since India did not follow the policies of free trade and capital flow for 30 years after independence.
    Statement 3 is correct because the passage argues that the role of state in second half of 20th century was development, which is different from infant industries argument of US and Europe in 19th century. So option (B), only 3, is correct.

    For a number to be divisible by 81, it should also be divisible by 3, 9, and 27.
    Such dates in a calendar month are:
    27: For its product with month to be divisible by 81, month should be divisible by 3.
    Thus, it should fall in 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th month. (4 such dates)
    9 and 18: For their product with months to be divisible by 81, month should be divisible by 9.
    Thus, they should fall in only 9th month. (2 such dates)
    The dates which are divisible by only 3, not by 9 or 27, should fall in month 27, which is not possible.
    Therefore, only 6 such dates occur in a calendar year.

    Passage
    An increase in the median income of the middle class does not cause average levels of education for the middle class to go up. If they did, then countries with the highest median income of the middle class would also have the highest levels of education for this class. In fact, when the median income of the middle class is made suitably comparable for different countries (accounting for inflation, currency fluctuations and purchasing power parity), there is no such co-relation.
    Which of the following can be correctly inferred from the statements above?
    (A) Countries with the highest median income of the middle class do not have the highest levels of education for the middle class.
    (B) It is difficult to reliably compare the education and income levels of one country with another.
    (C) A reduction in the median income of the middle class of the country will not necessarily lower the average level of education for the said class.
    (D) Countries with low levels of education for the middle class have comparatively higher levels of median income for the middle class.

    Total interest after 3 years Sonali received = Rs 900
    Therefore, interest per year = 300
    Therefore, rate of interest = 5 %
    Now, if interest 3 % more,
    then rate of interest = 8 %
    Therefore, simple interest earned after three years
    = (PTR/100)
    Where P = Principal, T = Time period, R = Rate of interest
    Thus, interest amount
    = (6000 * 3 * 8)/100
    = 60 * 3 * 8 = 180 * 8 = Rs 1440

    34. Question

    Sharath borrowed Rs. 5 lakh from a bank to purchase one car. If the rate of interest be 6% per annum compounded annually, what payment he will have to make after 2 years 6 months?
    (A) 575000
    (B) 600000
    (C) 578650
    (D) 540000

    • A
    • B
    • C
    • D
    Correct
    

    Incorrect
    

    CI for 2 years 6 months at the rate of 6, applying the net% effect for first 2 years
    = 6 + 6 + (6 * 6)/100 = 12.36%
    Rate of interest for 6 months
    = (6/12) * 6 = 3%
    For next 6 months
    = 12.36 + 3 + (12.36 * 3) /100
    = 15.36 + 0.37% = 15.73%
    Here, we can see that in 2 years 6 months the given compound rate of interest is approximate 15.73%.
    Now,
    115.73% of 500000
    = (115.73 * 500000)/100 = 578650

    As there is difference of time period is one year, we can calculate the compound interest by calculating additional amount incurred in last one year.
    The deposit amount after 2 years = Rs.5400
    The deposit amount after 3 years = Rs. 5940
    The difference amount is Rs 540
    Therefore, rate of compound interest
    = 540/5400 * 100 = 10 %

    As we saw above no two numbers are divisible by common factor so their LCM is their product.
    LCM of 3, 4 and 5 = 3 × 4 × 5 = 60.
    Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40. Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 – 40) = 1020.
    Now, add the remainder 2 that”s required.
    Thus, the answer is (1020 + 2 = 1022).

    Passage:
    It”s important to understand how Indian leaders see their role in strategy development. Whereas Western leaders often leave it to profit-center heads, Indian leaders are likely to own the strategy function, setting the agenda and taking a visible role in shaping the strategies their managers bring to them. They tend to focus less on Western-style planning and analysis and more on creating the incentives, organizational structures, and culture that will enable an improvisational approach to strategy. They view strategy as a set of enduring general principles for competing, such as developing competencies, embracing social purpose, and taking the long view—an approach to business that they personally encode in the company”s culture. This model both enhances a company”s agility in the marketplace and allows Indian leaders to develop their top managers. Thus strategy and “guiding and teaching” are complementary priorities.
    What is the main idea that we can infer from the passage?
    (A) A comparison of leadership style of Indian and Western leaders
    (B) How Indian leaders develop strategies for their organizations
    (C) Indian leaders” contribution to their organization”s strategy

    Option A is incorrect because the passage does not compare leadership styles in general but their specific approach to strategy development.
    Options B and C are narrower in scope compared to option D as the passage speaks in detail about how Indian leaders see their role in strategy development of their organizations and not on how they actually develop the strategy.
    Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Rarely, are they seen as two friends, who together go into battle to defeat an asura who cannot be defeated by a single person. So, the two are worshipped in pairs. Some have argued that these represent the twin forms of the Goddess—the white and the black; the one that creates and the one that destroys.
    Which of the following can be a logical theme for the passage following the current one?
    (A) The description of the black and white forms of Goddess
    (B) Importance of worshipping the Goddess during Diwali
    (C) The relation between the two forms of the Goddess
    (D) The significance of the two pots of worship

56. Question 56 of 80

    56. Question

    Passage :
    The painter Kramskoy has a remarkable painting entitled The Contemplator: it depicts a forest in winter, and in the forest, standing all by himself on the road, in deepest solitude, a stray little peasant in a ragged caftan and bast shoes; he stands as if he were lost in thought, but he is not thinking, he is “contemplating” something. If you nudged him, he would give a start and look at you as if he had just woken up, but without understanding anything. It”s true that he would come to himself at once, and yet, if he were asked what he had been thinking about while standing there, he would most likely not remember, but would most likely keep hidden away in himself the impression he had been under while contemplating. These impressions are dear to him, and he is most likely storing them up imperceptibly and even without realizing it–why and what for, he does not know either; perhaps suddenly, having stored up his impressions over many years, he will drop everything and wander off to Jerusalem to save his soul, or perhaps he will suddenly burn down his native village, or perhaps he will do both.
    In the above mentioned passage, which among the following is the best description of a contemplator, according to the author?
    (A) A contemplator engages in an active process of using his mind and is fully aware of his thoughts
    (B) A contemplator uses his mind in an unhealthy manner and is consequently a danger to the society
    (C) A contemplator is unconscious of his mental processes
    (D) A contemplator is subconscious of his mental processes

    • A
    • B
    • C
    • D
    Correct
    

    Incorrect
    

    A is incorrect because “active” use of mind, by the contemplator, is not reflected in the passage, in-fact the reverse, passive use of mind; seems to be true.
    B can only be partially correct if one draws reference to “burn down his native village”, but is certainly not the best description, hence incorrect.
    C and D are in a conflict, our task is to judge whether contemplating is a “subconscious” or “unconscious” mental process. It is not an unconscious mental process because there is enough verbal evidence in the passage which makes one infer the existence of an agent choosing certain thought processes, albeit subconsciously. Hence D is the correct answer. An objection can be raised by the student here that this passage has too much domain influence on it and only students with a certain subject expertise can answer it better, but one must consider the everyday use of the word unconscious and subconscious, which is sufficient in comprehending the passage.
    Hence, the correct answer is option D.

57. Question 57 of 80

    57. Question

    The last few years have seen the government take multiple critical economic reforms — from regulatory to ease of doing business. While the impact of some initiatives is visible such as the ranking in ease of doing business, others are yet to surface. Of course, one of the biggest questions from the economic research perspective is whether we are providing enough in the form of reforms to keep meaningful and sustainable growth trajectory. While the actions of the government are imperative in determining the performance of the economy, the optimism amongst the business leaders across sectors stands as a litmus test. There are two critical factors i.e. development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and enhanced investment in infrastructure, especially seaports to be considered amongst series of imperatives for sustainable development.
    Which one of the following statements is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
    (A) The Government is not putting enough focus on development of MSMEs and seaports.
    (B) The current reforms are not enough to help the country grow at a steady pace.
    (C) Ease of doing business is the only reform that has shown positive results.
    (D) MSMEs and infrastructure are necessary for the development of the country.

    • A
    • B
    • C
    • D

    Incorrect
    

    The passage highlights the various reforms initiated by the government and then evaluates the trajectory of the reforms. It points out the reforms that have worked and then points out the optimism among business leaders as a litmus test for the success of the reforms. Thus, if MSMEs and infrastructure have been mentioned as important, then option d can be inferred. Though the importance of MSMEs and seaports has been mentioned, the passage does not claim that they are not been focused on. This eliminates option a. Though Ease of Doing Business has been mentioned as one of the successful reforms, it cannot be considered the only one. Hence option c is eliminated. The passage does not provide data to infer that the current reforms are not working or helping the country grow. Hence, option B is eliminated. Hence, the correct answer is option D.

    Which of these can be correctly assumed from the passage?
    (i) The government has, for the first time, started focusing on economic reforms.
    (ii) The economy has been de-growing since the last few years.
    Select the correct answer using the code given below:
    (A) 1 only
    (B) 2 only

    Neither assumption is valid. Though the passage states that the government has initiated multiple reforms, it cannot be assumed that it has started focusing on economic reforms for the first time. Similarly, though the passage states that the reforms need to be evaluated for their effectiveness and whether they are enough to keep India on a sustainable growth trajectory, this cannot be used to assume that the Indian economy has been de-growing.
    Hence, the correct answer is option D.

    Read the following passage and answer the item that follow. Your answer to this item should be based on the passage only.
    Passage
    We are witnessing a dangerous dwindling of biodiversity in our food supply. The green revolution is a mixed blessing. Over time farmers have come to rely heavily on broadly adapted, high yield crops to the exclusion of varieties adapted to the local conditions. Monocropping vast fields with the same genetically uniform seeds helps boost yield and meet immediate hunger needs. Yet high-yield varieties are also genetically weaker crops that require expensive chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides. In our focus on increasing the amount of food we produce today, we have accidentally put ourselves at risk for food shortages in future.
    Which among the following is the most logical and critical inference that can be made from the above passage?
    (A) In our agricultural practices, we have become heavily dependent on expensive chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides only due to green revolution.
    (B) Mono-cropping vast fields with high-yield varieties is possible due to green revolution.
    (C) Mono-cropping with high-yield varieties is the only way to ensure food security to millions.
    (D) Green revolution can pose a threat to biodiversity in food supply and food security in the long run.

    76. Question

    There is a cube which is painted with white colour on three faces which are adjacent to each other. Other three faces are painted with black colour. This cube is cut into 27 smaller cubes of equal size. How many smaller cubes (which are painted only on two faces) are there which are painted with white on one face and black on other?
    (A) 6
    (B) 9
    (C) 12
    (D) 3

    In this case, n=3 as there will 3 smaller cubes on each edge of a bigger cube.
    Among 27 smaller cubes there will be 12(n-2) cubes which are painted only in two faces.
    So, 12 (n-2) = 12 (3-2) = 12 cubes.
    Among these 12 cubes 3 cubes will be painted with only white and 3 cubes will be painted with only black.
    So, there will be 6 smaller cubes remaining which satisfy our conditions.

    2197 = 13³
    729 = 9³
    Now, Z = 26th position in alphabet list
    Thus, Z is coded as (26/2)³ = 2197
    R = 18th position in alphabet list
    Thus, R is coded as (18/2)³ = 729
    Therefore, J = 10th position in alphabet position
    Thus, J is coded as (10/2)³ = 5³= 12
