Statements:

M<P≤G = F≥B;

H≥F<I; J≥P

Conclusions:

H≥J, B<I

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 3
Explanation:

  • Given Statements:


    • M < P ≤ G = F ≥ B

    • H ≥ F < I; J ≥ P




  • Conclusions:


    • H ≥ J

    • B < I




  • Analysis:


    • From the given statements, we can infer that H is greater than or equal to F and F is less than I. So, H is definitely greater than I.

    • Similarly, from the given statements, B is less than or equal to G, which is equal to F. Hence, B is less than or equal to F.

    • Therefore, the conclusions are:


      • H ≥ J - True (As H is greater than or equal to P, and P is less than or equal to J)

      • B < I - True (As B is less than or equal to F, and F is less than I)





  • Hence, the correct answer is B: Only II is true.

Directions: In this question, two rows are given and to find out the resultant of a particular row, you need to follow the steps given below. Give answer to the question asked accordingly. The operations on numbers progress from left to right.

Step 1: If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the second number is to be subtracted from the first number.
Step 2: If an even number is followed by a composite odd number, then they are to be multiplied.
Step 3: If an even number is followed by a number which is a perfect Cube, then the even number is to be subtracted from perfect cube.
Step 4: If an even number is followed by a prime odd number, then the first number is to be divided by the second number.
Step 5: If an odd number is followed by another composite (a non-prime number) odd number, then they are to be added.

Q. N is the resultant of the first row. Find the difference if N is subtracted from the resultant of second row.
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 4

182 ÷ 13 = 14 (As per step 4)
14 − 9 = 5 (As per step 5)
N = 5
50 ÷ 5 = 10 (As per step 4)
10 + 24 = 34 (As per step 1)
Hence, 34 - 5 = 29

Last year, the ratio between the salaries of A and B was 3 : 4. But, the ratios of their individual salaries between the last year and this year were 4 : 5 and 2 : 3, respectively. If the sum of their present salaries is Rs. 4160, then how much is the salary of A now?
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 13

Let salary of A last year be Rs. 3s.
Salary of B last year = Rs. 4s
Let present salary of A be Rs. A and that of B be Rs. B.
So, 3s/A = 4/5 or A = 15s/4
4s/B = 2/3 or B = 6s
So, adding up the present salaries, we get (15s/4) + 6s = 4160
Or, s = 426.667
Present salary of A = Rs. A = Rs. (15/4)s = Rs. (15/4) × 426.667 = Rs. 1600
Thus, answer option (2) is correct.

Directions: Starter to the following paragraph has been correctly provided in statement I. However, the other sentences in the paragraph have been jumbled up. Rearrange the sentences, such as to make coherent sense.

I. There may be much in Lucka's theories which will rouse the scepticism of the monists; some of his deductions may appear to his readers a little strained, but no thinking man or woman can read his brilliant Conclusion without denying him the tribute of sincere admiration.
A. The normal, healthy school-boy, preferring the company of his school-fellows to all others, shunning his mother and sisters, ashamed of his female relatives, is the modern individual representative of those early leagues and unions of young men who opposed matriarchy and finally brought about its overthrow and the establishment of male government.
B. As the human embryo passes through the principal stages of the development of the individual from lower forms of life, so the growing male must pass through the stages of psychical development through which the race has passed.
C. The gynecocratic government of prehistoric time is revived in the nursery, where the mother rules supreme and the sisters dominate.
D. In this last chapter he applies Haeckel's biogenetic law to the domain of the spirit.
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 24

The starter talks about Lucka's book 'Conclusion'.
D is the only statement that can link up with the book mentioned in I.
B mentions about the principal stages of development and 'A' elaborates further on it. Thus, A follows B. This leads us to DBAC.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 26

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

There is now no denying that the new government takes office amid a clear economic slowdown. The first macro data set released showed an under-performing economy with GDP growth falling to 5.8% in the fourth quarter of 2018-19 and pulling down the overall growth for the fiscal to a five-year low of 6.8%. Growth in gross value added (GVA), which is GDP minus taxes and subsidies, fell to 6.6% in 2018-19, pointing to a serious slowdown. If further confirmation were needed, the growth in core sector output — a set of eight major industrial sectors — fell to 2.6% in April, compared to 4.7% in the same month last year. And finally, unemployment data, controversially suppressed by the Union government so far, showed that joblessness was at a 45-year high of 6.1% in 2017-18. These numbers highlight the challenges ahead in drafting the Budget for 2019-20. The economy is beset by a consumption slowdown as reflected in the falling sales of everything from automobiles to consumer durables, even fast-moving consumer goods. Private investment is not taking off, while government spending, which kept the economy afloat during the last NDA government, was cut back in the last quarter of 2018-19 to meet the fiscal deficit target of 3.4%.

The good news is that inflation is undershooting the target and oil prices are on the retreat again. But the rural economy remains in distress, as seen by the 2.9% growth in agriculture last fiscal; the sector needs a good monsoon this year to bounce back. Overall economic growth in the first quarter of this fiscal is likely to remain subdued, and any improvement is unlikely until the late second quarter or the early third. There are not too many options before the new Finance Minister. In the near term, she has to boost consumption, which means putting more money in the hands of people. That, in turn, means cutting taxes, which is not easy given the commitment to rein in the fiscal deficit. In the medium term, Ms. Sitharaman has to take measures to boost private investment even as she opens up public spending again. These call for major reforms, starting with land acquisition and labour, corporate taxes by reducing exemptions and dropping rates, and nursing banks back to health. On the table will be options such as further recapitalisation of the ailing banks, and consolidation. The question, though, is where the money will come from. With tax revenues likely to be subdued owing to the slowdown, the Centre will have to look at alternative sources such as disinvestment. There may be little choice but to go big on privatisation. A rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India, widely expected this week, would certainly help boost sentiment. But it is the Budget that will really set the tone for the economy

Q. As per the passage, which of the following reforms has NOT been mentioned in the passage to improve the investment climate?
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 26

Refer to: ‘Ms. Sitharaman has to take measures to boost private investment even as she opens up public spending again. These call for major reforms, starting with land acquisition and labour, corporate taxes by reducing exemptions and dropping rates, and nursing banks back to health. On the table will be options such as further recapitalisation of the ailing banks, and consolidation.’

The passage does not talk about privatization of banks and thus, option B is the correct answer.
