The following graph shows the number of people who attended the workshop A and B on 5 different days of a week.



Q. If the number of females who attended the workshop A and B together on Tuesday is 460 and the ratio of male to female who attended workshop A on Tuesday is 3 : 2,  then how many male members attended the workshop B on Tuesday?

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 8 - Question 19

The number of people who attended the workshop A on Tuesday = 500
Ratio of male to female = 3 : 2
Hence, number of female = 500 × 2/5 = 200
Total female who attended the workshop A and B together on Tuesday = 460
Female who attended the workshop B on Tuesday = (460 – 200) = 260
Total people who attended the workshop B on Tuesday = 640
Hence, required number of male = (640 – 260) = 380
Hence, option C is correct.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 8 - Question 20

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside.
Mr. Dexter has four kids and all were born on same date of different years. They all have birthday today. Mr. Dexter wants to buy chocolates for all his kids. But he don’t want to give each kid equal number of chocolates.
He decides to do the following thing:
He will divide the height (in centimeters) by the sum of age number with weight (in kilogram).
He arrive at this formula –
Number of chocolate = height in centimeters/(weight in kilogram + age)
The number that will come is the number of chocolates that a particular kid gets.
His second youngest kid is twice the age of the youngest kid whose age is one-third the oldest kid. The second oldest kid is three year younger than the oldest kid. Weight of oldest kid is 36 kg which is numerically three times the age of second oldest kid, whose weight is four times the age of second youngest kid. Weight of the youngest kid is 40% less than the second oldest kid. Sum of weight of all four kids is 129 kg.

Q. After 5 years from this birthday, Mr. Dexter repeat the same method of distributing the chocolates. After five years, his youngest kid has gained 25% weight while the oldest kid has weight twice the youngest kid. He distribute 6 chocolates between youngest and the oldest kid. If their heights are equal then choose the correct option.

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 8 - Question 20

From common explanation, we have

After 5 years, oldest kid = 15 + 5 = 20 years, and youngest kid = 5+5 = 10 years.

Weight of youngest kid = 24kg + 25% of 24 kg = 30kg

Weight of oldest kid = 2 × weight of youngest kid = 2 × 30 = 60kg

Let the youngest kid gets ‘y’ chocolates, then the oldest will get (6 – y) chocolates.

Now, let their heights be ‘H’

Number of chocolates youngest kid get,

H = 40y ------(i)
Number of chocolates oldest kid get,

H = 80 (6 – y) -------(ii)
H = 40y = 80 (6 – y)
y = 2(6 – y) = 12 – 2y
y = 4
from (i)
H = 40 × 4 = 160 cm
Hence, option D is correct.

Common explanation:
It is given that the second youngest kid is twice the age of the youngest kid whose age is three times less than the oldest kid.
Let the age of youngest kid is ‘y’, then the second youngest kid would be 2y and the oldest would be 3y.
Weight of oldest kid is 36 kg which is numerically three times more than the age of second oldest kid.
Age of second oldest kid would be 12 years. 
Since, the second oldest kid is three year younger than the oldest kid, oldest kid would be 15 years. From this we get 3y = 15, thus y = 3. So the age of youngest kid = 5 years, second youngest kid = 10 years.
Second oldest kid, whose weight is four times the age of second youngest kid
Second youngest kid = 10 years, so weight of second oldest kid = 4 × 10 = 40 kg
Weight of the youngest kid is 40% less than the second oldest kid
Weight of second oldest = 40kg, youngest kid = 40kg – 40% of 40kg = 24kg
Sum of all the weights = 129kg = 36kg + 24kg + 40kg + weight of second youngest kid
Weight of second youngest kid = 29kg

In a table form all the values are: 

ECGC PO Mock Test - 8 - Question 21

ECGC PO Mock Test - 8 - Question 24

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

More than three lakh workers will be employed in the solar and wind energy sectors to meet the country’s target of generating 175 gigawatts of electricity from renewable sources by 2022, an International Labour Organization (ILO) report said. The report titled, World Employment and Social Outlook (WESO) 2018: Greening with Jobs, quoted from a study conducted by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), on the changes in sectoral employment that will occur in order to meet India’s target. The study was based on surveys of solar and wind companies, developers and manufacturers.

“India is rapidly increasing its share of renewable energy sources, but still relies on coal, oil, natural gas, and the related carbon emissions for 80% of its electricity,” the report released on Tuesday said. This formed a small part of the report, which focused on the trajectory of the labour market in the backdrop of environmentally sustainable production practices. Tackling the misconception that green economies pave the way for economically undesirable outcomes, the report said rather than a trade-off between the two, their development goes hand in hand. According to the ILO report, there will be a net increase of 18 million jobs across the globe as a result of environmentally sustainable measures taken in the production and use of energy. This net figure is based on the estimation that the resultant job losses of six million will eventually lead to an increase of 24 million jobs as greener practices are adopted. Of this, 14 million jobs created will be in Asia and the Pacific.

“The transition to a green economy will inevitably cause job losses in certain sectors as carbon and resource-intensive industries are scaled down, but they will be offset by new job opportunities,” the report said. However, the report emphasised that the net increase of 18 million jobs is dependent on a supportive policy framework to aid displaced workers and skill development programs to help ease them into jobs that require new skills. It mentioned that although India does have a specific body or council to address the skills development for green transition, it has no existing institutional mechanism to anticipate skills needs and adapt training provision. Of the 27 countries surveyed, India and seven others fall under this category. “Developing and emerging economies have relatively weaker institutional capacity for integrating skills and environmental sustainability,” the report said.

The report stressed on the urgency of economies adopting sustainable practices, adding, in 2013, humanity used 1.7 times the amount of resources and waste that the biosphere was able to regenerate and absorb. The report reads, “It is striking that in a context of scarce resources and limited ability to absorb waste, current patterns of economic growth rely largely on the extraction of resources, manufacturing, consumption and waste.” It explained this urgency from the perspective of the job market by connecting labour productivity to climate change.“Looking ahead, projected temperature increases will make heat stress more common, reducing the total number of working hours by 2% globally by 2030 and affecting workers in agriculture, and developing countries,” the report said.

Q. As per the passage, which of the following could be a/some reason/s for the misconceptions surrounding green economies.
I. There is a belief that adopting a green economy would lead to loss of jobs which could severely impact the economy.
II. The shift from traditional energy sources to renewable energy would be expensive.
III. The technological capability required to transform into a green economy is still in the elementary phase.

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 8 - Question 24

Statement II and Statement III have not been mentioned in the passage.

Refer to: ......there will be a net increase of 18 million jobs across the globe as a result of environmentally sustainable measures taken in the production and use of energy.
“The transition to a green economy will inevitably cause job losses in certain sectors as carbon and resource-intensive industries are scaled down, but they will be offset by new job opportunities,” the report said. However, the report emphasized that the net increase of 18 million jobs is dependent ...
Hence, option B is correct.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 8 - Question 25

Directions : Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

For generations, companies have been selling fair skin to young Indian women, promising better marriage and employment prospects. However, over the last few years, men have become a favoured target audience. This followed the realisation that the Indian alpha male, denied a choice in male-specific grooming products, had been using women’s fairness creams all along. Until the mid-2000s, deodorants and shaving creams were the only grooming products advertised for men. But India’s largest consumer goods companies sensed an opportunity, and launched a slew of fairness products for male consumers.

In India, as in other parts of the world, light skin is the culturally accepted and endorsed form of beauty, and children absorb this message at a young age. According to a 2015 research report by Nielsen, urban Indian men believe that fair skin can improve professional prospects. The cultural pressure to look fair, argues Kiran Khalap, branding expert and founder at communications consultancy Chlorophyll, is something inherent in our society, not manufactured by companies. “And it is certainly not restricted to India: China and Japan have had skin-whitening products for centuries, well before they met Western ‘white’ people,” he said. However, there is a growing awareness among consumers that companies are exploiting their insecurities, and critics have taken some of the biggest fairness brands, and the celebrities who endorse them, to task for their casual discrimination.

Earlier this month, Bollywood actor Abhay Deol took to Facebook to trounce his fellow actors who earn millions from endorsing fairness creams. This comes a few years after actress Nandita Das launched the “Dark is Beautiful” campaign to encourage Indians to embrace a wider definition of beauty. These efforts are slowly making a difference, increasing awareness and encouraging consumers to take pride in their natural skin tones. That means Indian companies will eventually have to change their approach. “My sense is that brands will wake up to the new reality, and you will see propositions reworked around clearer skin (and) glow, rather than pure fairness,” Leo Burnett’s Sinha said.
