Statement :

P ≥ Q > R < S ≤ T

Conclusion:

I. T > R
II. T > Q
III. R < P
IV. Q > P

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

Explanation:
Let's analyze each conclusion one by one:
Conclusion I: T > R**
- Given: R < S ≤ T
- Since R < S and S ≤ T, we can conclude that T > R.
- So, Conclusion I is true.
Conclusion II: T > Q
- Given: P ≥ Q > R < S ≤ T
- We cannot directly conclude that T > Q from the given information. There is no specific relationship given between T and Q that allows us to determine their order.
- So, Conclusion II is not true.
Conclusion III: R < P
- Given: P ≥ Q > R < S ≤ T
- Since P ≥ Q and Q > R, we can conclude that P > R.
- So, Conclusion III is true.
Conclusion IV: Q > P
- Given: P ≥ Q > R < S ≤ T
- The given information states that P ≥ Q, which means P can be greater than or equal to Q, but not necessarily less than Q.
- So, Conclusion IV is not true.
Based on the analysis, only Conclusions I and III are true. Therefore, the correct answer is:
C: Only I and III are true.Only I and III are true

Statement :

P < Q ≥ R > S ≤ T

Conclusion:

I. T ≥ R
II. P < R
III. Q > S
IV. S < P

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 9 - Question 3

The correct answer is E.

Given:

P < Q ≥ R > S ≤ T

Conclusions:

I. T ≥ R

This is true. Since R > S ≤ T, then T ≥ R.

II. P < R

This is true. Since P < Q ≥ R, then P < R.

III. Q > S

This is not necessarily true. We know that Q ≥ R > S, but we do not know the relationship between Q and S.

IV. S < P

This is not necessarily true. We know that P < Q ≥ R > S, but we do not know the relationship between P and S.

Therefore, only conclusions I and II are true.

If Sita walks at 5 kmph, she misses her train by 10 minutes. If she walks at 7 kmph, she reaches the station 10 minutes early. How much distance does she walk to the station?
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 9 - Question 14

The distance to the station can be calculated as follows:

Let's denote the distance to the station as "d" (in km), and the time difference between the two cases as "t" (in minutes).

In the first case, Sita walks at 5 km/h and misses the train by 10 minutes. So the time it would take her to get to the train on time is: d/5 (in hours) + 10/60 (in hours) = d/5 + 1/6 (in hours).

In the second case, Sita walks at 7 km/h and arrives 10 minutes early. So the time it takes her to get to the train is: d/7 - 10/60 = d/7 - 1/6 (in hours).

Since these two times should be the same, we can equate them:

d/5 + 1/6 = d/7 - 1/6

Solving this equation for "d" gives:

d = 35/6 km = 5.8 km

So the correct answer is 5.8 km.

The given bar chart represents the number of Televisions Sets (TV) manufactured (in thousands) and the respective percentage of those TV Sets sold by five different companies A, B, C, D and E in 2015.

Study the chart carefully and answer the question that follows.

The average number of TV sets sold by companies C and D is what percentage of the number of TV sets manufactured by company E? Express your answer correct to one place of decimal.
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 9 - Question 17

Calculation:

TV sets manufactured by company C = 70000

TV sets sold by company C = 82% of 70000 = 57400

TV sets manufactured by company D = 85000

TV sets sold by company D = 56% of 85000 = 47600

Total TV sold by C and D = 57400 + 47600 = 105000

Average TV sold by C and D = 105000/2 = 52500

TV sets manufactured by company E = 58000

Now, % = 52500/58000 × 100% ≈ 90.5%

∴ The average number of TV sets sold by companies C and D is 90.5% of the number of TV sets manufactured by company E.

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside.
Two trains A and B running at speeds 42 km/hr and 48 km/hr respectively are approaching each other. They are [A] km far from each other. After 12 minutes, a vulture starts flying from train A towards train B at the speed of [B] km/hr. It reverses its direction as soon as it reached B and starts filying towards A and continues this until trains A and B meet. The total distance covered by it is [C] km. The vulture meets train B (first time) in half the time train A meets train B (from the time vulture started). The distance between the points where train B meets vulture for the first time and train B meets train A is 72 km. The distance between trains A and B, when the vulture meets train B for the second time is [D].

Q. What should come in place of C?
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 9 - Question 18

Let speed of the vulture be a km/hr
Relative speed of A and B = (42 + 48) = 90 km/hr
Relative speed of vulture and B (when vulture approaches B) = a + 48
Given: Vulture reaches B in half time as A from the point vulture starts
Let x be the distance travelled

180 = 48 + a
a = 132 km/hr (Blank B)
Distance between B’s meeting point with vulture and A is 72
Time taken by B = 72/48 = 1.5 hours
This 1.5 hour will be half the time as Vulture reaches B in half time as A from the point vulture starts
So, total times for A to meet B (from the point when Vulture started) = 2 × 1.5 = 3 hours

Distance travelled by vulture = 132 × 3 = 396 km (Blank C)

Hence, option D is correct.

The distance between the points where train B meets vulture for the first time and train B meets train A is 72 km. The distance between trains A and B, when the vulture meets train B for the second time is [D].

Q. What should come in place of D?
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 9 - Question 19

Let the speed of the vulture be a km/hr
Relative speed of A and B = (42 + 48) = 90 km/hr
Relative speed of vulture and B (when vulture approaches B) = a + 48
Given: Vulture reaches B in half time as A from the point vulture starts
Let x be the distance travelled

180 = 48 + a
a = 132 km/hr (Blank B)
Distance between B’s meeting point with vulture and A is 72
Time taken by B = 72/48 = 1.5 hours
This 1.5 hour will be half the time as Vulture reaches B in half time as A from the point vulture starts
So, total times for A to meet B (from the point when Vulture started) = 2 × 1.5 = 3 hours
Distance travelled by vulture = 132 × 3 = 396 km (Blank C)
Distance between A and B (when vulture starts) = 3 × (48 + 42) = 270 km
Vulture meets B in 1.5 hours (given)
Distance between A and B when Vulture meets B for the first time = (3 – 1.5) × (48 + 42) = 135
Time taken by Vulture to reach till A

Distance between A and B when Vulture meets A (after return)

Time taken for vulture to travel 65.2 (to meet B for second time)


Distance (Blank D) = 65.2 –
Hence, option B is correct.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

India’s e-commerce sector, poised to grow four times to $150 billion by 2022, is still a work in progress when it comes to safeguarding customer interest. Consumers are still compelled to take wild chances in online transactions. There is little they can do if their calls go wrong. Returns and reimbursements are risky and cumbersome. There are no authentic ways to figure out if product reviews, ratings or even discounts are genuine. So, it is heartening to see the government coming up with a set of guidelines to protect interests of consumers. The guidelines released last week by the Consumer Affairs Ministry in this regard emphasise that an e-commerce entity shall not influence the price of the goods or services, adopt any unfair or deceptive methods to influence transactional decisions of consumers or falsely represent themselves as consumers and post reviews about goods and services. The guidelines on returns and refunds favour consumers. The message seems simple: If online companies want to dupe consumers to earn extra bucks, they’re in trouble.

Clearly, the Ministry’s thinking seems to be in line with the way the Centre’s approach to regulating the fast-growing e-commerce sector. It is, however, worth considering whether the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (then DIPP) will strike the right balance between regulating consumer interests and encouraging innovation and investment, without discriminating against a particular class of investors. Now marketplace entities won’t be able to buy more than 25 per cent from a single vendor, give discounts on products or sell the goods of the companies in which there is equity participation by the marketplace entity. The changes had irked foreign e-tailers who felt the rules would _____ (A) _____ their business models and could cost them time and money. But anecdotal evidence does not entirely seem to bear that out.

The DPIIT is also framing an e-commerce policy and, like the Consumer Affairs Ministry, has put up the draft for comments. The draft talks about the country retaining ownership and control of data generated within the country, rigorous monitoring of cross-border imports, placing the responsibility of consumer protection on the intermediary and addressing the issue of piracy. That said, the element of indecision over data localisation requirements is still a worry. Attempts made by both the DPIIT and the MeitY in the e-commerce policy and the data protection policy, respectively, to make a case for storage of personal data locally (along with the RBI in the case of payment systems) have predictably resulted in a lot of protests from the EU and US entities. While the Centre is certainly on a sound wicket here, it should take a call soon — without succumbing to the recent tendency to over-regulate business.

Q. Which among the following is/are the problem(s) faced by the e-commerce customers in India these days, as stated in the passage?
I. They do not get the money back easily in case they have to return the products delivered to them.
II. They have no credible information regarding the products and the feedback regarding them available to them.
III. They have to pay extra to ship the products directly to their homes as they do not need to come out for shopping.
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 9 - Question 23

Statement I is correct since it has been stated in the passage that the customers often do not get the refund if they have returned the products. Refer to, “Returns and reimbursements are risky and cumbersome.”

Statement II is also correct for the fact that the reviews posted on the websites of the e-commerce companies are not always true and there is no way to find out if they are true or fake or even the discounts are not always for real. Refer to, “There are no authentic ways to figure out if product reviews, ratings or even discounts are genuine.”

Statement III cannot said to be correct for the fact that it is not the case at all rather the reality is the opposite of what is being said here. The prices are generally lower in case of the ecommerce companies and that is the main reason they are becoming popular day by day.

This makes Option A the correct choice among the given options.

After a worrying pre-monsoon phase between March and May, when rainfall was scarce, the current robust season in most parts of coastal, western and central India augurs well for the entire economy. Aided apparently by beneficial conditions in the Indian Ocean, very heavy rainfall has been recorded, notably in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, the northeastern States, Karnataka, the Konkan coast, hilly districts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This pattern may extend into Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bengal and other eastern regions. A normal Indian Summer Monsoon is bountiful overall, but as last year’s flooding in Kerala, and the Chennai catastrophe of 2015 showed, there can be a terrible cost in terms of lives and property lost, and people displaced. Distressing scenes of death and destruction are again being witnessed. Even in a rain-shadow region such as Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, the collapse of a railway parcel office after a downpour has led to avoidable deaths. What this underscores is the need to prepare for the rainy season with harvesting measures, as advocated by the Centre’s Jal Shakti Abhiyan, and a safety audit of structures, particularly those used by the official agencies. In drafting their management plans, States must be aware of the scientific consensus: that future rain spells may be short, often unpredictable and very heavy influenced by a changing climate. They need to invest in reliable infrastructure to mitigate the impact of flooding and avert disasters that could have global consequences in an integrated economy.

The long-term trends for flood impact in India have been one of declining loss of lives and cattle since the decadal high of 1971-80, but rising absolute economic losses, though not as a share of GDP. It is important, therefore, to increase resilience through planning, especially in cities and towns which are expanding steadily. Orderly urban development is critical for sustainability, as the mega flood disasters in Mumbai and Chennai witnessed in this century make clear. It is worth pointing out that the response of State governments to the imperative is tardy and even indifferent. They are hesitant to act against encroachment of lake catchments, river courses and floodplains. The extreme distress in Chennai, for instance, has not persuaded the State government against allowing structures such as a police station being constructed on a lake bed, after reclassification of land. Granting such permissions is an abdication of responsibility and a violation of National Disaster Management Authority Guidelines to prevent urban flooding. As a nation that is set to become the most populous in less than a decade, India must address its crippling cycles of drought and flood with redoubled vigour. Scientific hydrology, coupled with the traditional wisdom of saving water through large innovative structures, will mitigate floods and help communities prosper.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows.

After a worrying pre-monsoon phase between March and May, when rainfall was scarce, the current robust season in most parts of coastal, western and central India augurs well for the entire economy. Aided apparently by beneficial conditions in the Indian Ocean, very heavy rainfall has been recorded, notably in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, the northeastern States, Karnataka, the Konkan coast, hilly districts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This pattern may extend into Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bengal and other eastern regions. A normal Indian Summer Monsoon is bountiful overall, but as last year’s flooding in Kerala, and the Chennai catastrophe of 2015 showed, there can be a terrible cost in terms of lives and property lost, and people displaced.

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 9 - Question 25

Refer to, “The long-term trends for flood impact in India have been one of declining loss of lives and cattle since the decadal high of 1971-80, but rising absolute economic losses, though not as a share of GDP. “

It is clear from the passage that the long term trends of impact of floods in India have been on the decline in terms of lives of people and cattle lost but on the other hand the economic losses have quantified multiple times during this particular time duration. Among the given options, we can choose Option A only since it gives us the correct information regarding the data on lives lost in floods since 1970s till date.
