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).

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options: 

French shoppers are facing a sour sight in supermarkets this summer - no mustard. The nationwide shortage is due to a lack of mustard seeds needed to produce the condiment. Severe drought in Canada, poor harvests in France, and the war in Ukraine have combined to reduce the supplies of mustard seeds available to producers. The price of mustard has shot up by 10% in France as a result, and some shops are struggling to restock jars.

Canada, where France imports many of its mustard seeds, was hit by a drought last year that collapsed crop yields in the country's agricultural west. Not all droughts are due to climate change, but excess heat in the atmosphere is drawing more moisture out of the earth and making droughts worse. The world has already warmed by about 1.2C since the industrial era began and temperatures will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to emissions.

Meanwhile in France domestic mustard seed harvests have fallen short of expectations for three years in a row, most recently due to a wet winter and cold spring. Luc Vondermaeson, who is managing director of France's third-largest mustard manufacturer La Reine de Dijon, told the BBC that production was running at 20-25% below normal. Seeds could still be found in January and February, he said, but availability had dwindled since then.

"The market is totally empty. Everything has been booked and we have difficulty obtaining seeds." French producers had originally hoped to import additional mustard seeds from Russia or Ukraine to make up for the shortfall, but since the invasion, this has no longer been possible. The war has disrupted global supply chains for many agricultural products.

Russia's attacks on and blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports and Western sanctions on Moscow has combined to severely limit the amount of food either country is exporting to the rest of the world. Earlier this week the United Nations warned that the invasion could cause a global food _______ lasting for years. And in the UK, the disruption of supplies of sunflower oil from Ukraine last month led to supermarkets limiting how many bottles of cooking oil customers could buy.

Q. Read the passage and select the inference(s) that hold true based on the facts in the passage.

Inferences:

I: China, India, and Pakistan grow about 90% of the world's production of mustard.

II: France's domestic mustard seed harvests have fallen short of expectations.

III: China is the largest producer of mustard in the world.

Directions: Read the given passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer for each question given below the same.

A very large number of students go to coaching classes to learn, especially for so-called theory subjects (where teachers talk and/or dictate and circulate notes and students pretend to listen) and practical subjects like accounts. In many science subjects, even as laboratory practical sessions are held in colleges — setting up a lab is expensive — for theory, once again, coaching classes are the preferred option. Only in the faculty of Arts is there a glaring absence of coaching classes, for the simple reason that the number of students is not large enough in any one subject for it to be profitable for a coaching class. Beside, with a few exceptions, in colleges in Mumbai, Arts subjects are like fillers; they are attractive to very different kinds of students. Students would rather go to these coaching classes than attend the regular lectures. Why?

These classes are popular in Mumbai — and, increasingly, elsewhere in the country — because they do not ‘waste’ time in explaining concepts too much. They do not expect students to go to the library and read more. Indeed, they have no idea of referencing other books and academic journals. They provide students with largely self-contained notes, tuned to the university and college exams. These notes are actually not so much about learning as about passing the exams, because, in any case, in Mumbai there is an enduring myth about the irrelevance of theory in life and therefore in academic learning. On the other hand, practical training is much prized by all: students, their parents, prospective employees at lower levels and, sadly, by many teachers who have also been trained under the same myths and perceptions. Further, these classes are available almost at all hours: from early morning to late evening. Since many students in Mumbai are not full-time college students and are either pursuing some other professional degree or working part-time somewhere, this flexibility in time and a compact schedule adds to the appeal of these classes.

The depressing reality is that an undergraduate degree does not hold much attraction for a student, at least in Mumbai. It has a social and formal value as an official degree from a recognised university, but it has little academic value. The central paradox is that in most cases, students’ pre-conceived ideas of what a college should be teaching them are very different from what governments, universities and policymakers think students should be learning in regular undergraduate colleges. Many students, their parents, and even quite a few teachers are convinced that the official syllabi do not reflect the needs of students, of the economy, and of prospective employers. In such a situation, even as the need for the college degree remains high, the learning that should go with it holds little value. Thus, all that a student needs to learn is the practicality of a few subjects like accounts and for the rest of the theory in any subject, mug up enough through notes to clear the exam and get the official degree.

This is further made possible by the way exams and assessment are conducted in Mumbai University and colleges. I can’t think of any exam in a regular course which actually tests students’ learning in any meaningful way. In such a scenario, serious learning will at a discount for every level. Coaching classes — many of them run by college teachers themselves! — know this well and organise their teaching accordingly.

There is another important factor that makes this rote-learning for examination popular for all: governments, universities, colleges, teachers, and students. The normal size of a class in theory subjects in a regular college is up to 120 students. Often, this number goes up for various reasons. There is no way any teacher can seriously, meaningfully, and engagingly speak to a class of 120 students at a time and expect them to learn. It is simply not possible. Not surprisingly, it places a premium on rote-learning.

Q. Why is there a glaring absence of coaching classes for the faculty of Arts as per the passage?
