PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 1

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 correct regarding the opinion of the government on the storage of data, as stated in the passage?

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 1

It is very clearly stated in the passage that the government has been recommended by the DPIIT that the data pertaining to the electronic transactions should be stored within the country only and no foreign intervention should be there in this regard. There should not be any involvement of anybody from other countries or foreign companies in the whole thing. Coming to the given options, we can see that Option C gives us the correct information whereas the rest can be eliminated for being out of context.

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

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 2

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.

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 PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 2

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.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 3

Directions: In the question given below there are two statements, each statement consists of two blanks. You have to choose the option which provides the correct set of words that fits both the blanks in both the statements appropriately and in the same order making them meaningful and grammatically correct. 

I. India is a ________ after destination for medical tourism, but in the area of early screening and intervention it is still ________ behind, and early developmental screening is more the exception than the rule.

II. The minister interacted with the local residents and ________ their feedback on the developmental policies as he wanted to know why the district, which was a knowledge hub earlier, was presently ________ in crucial indicators of development. 

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 3

The correct set of words is sought and lagging:

  • In sentence I, "sought after" is a standard phrase meaning 'highly desired'—India is a sought after destination for medical tourism. The phrase "lagging behind" correctly means 'falling behind' in the context of early screening and intervention.
  • In sentence II, "sought their feedback" is the correct idiomatic usage—one sought feedback from someone. The phrase "lagging in crucial indicators" is also contextually and grammatically correct, meaning the district is behind in those indicators.
  • Other options do not fit:
    • "Sort after" is incorrect; the correct phrase is "sought after".
    • "Wanted after" and "required after" are not valid phrases in this context.
    • The second words in those options ("moving", "crawling", "running") do not fit with "behind" or the development context as well as "lagging" does.

Therefore, option a) Sought, lagging is correct.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 4

Direction: In each of the questions given below, a paragraph is given which has some blanks and those blanks have to be filled with the same word out of five words given below it. You have to choose that same word as your answer and fill up the blanks with that appropriate word. 

It is very important to ____________ to rules and regulations in life if you want to achieve something. If you are a person who hates discipline and cannot ____________ to any stupid set of norms, you should definitely opt for startup stints. There you will not have to ____________ anything fixed and you can only focus on your performance.

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 4

The given paragraph is regarding the fact that in a startup setup it is not at all necessary to follow any set of norms. The main thing is that you have to show results according to your own flexible timetable and discipline. That is why it can be said that in startup companies it is not about norms but it is mainly about performance.

Now coming to the given words, we can see that attest implies ratifying something or confirming something officially whereas abate implies decease something. These two words are not correct as per the given context and can be eliminated. Reject is also not correct. There is only one word that can be used in all the three blanks and it will make the whole paragraph meaningful. The concerned word is adhere that means abide by or obey something. This is our correct pick.

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

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 5

Direction: In the questions given below a sentence is given with two blanks in each. Corresponding to each question two columns are given with three words in each column. Which combination of words from the two columns will perfectly fit into the blanks to make the sentence contextually correct and meaningful? 

Taking a cue from these complaints, the National Human Rights Commission had ____________ a draft of patients’ rights charter with the Ministry and it was ____________ at the 11th meeting of the National Council of Clinical Establishments. 

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 5

According to the given context it is clear that we are talking about a draft of the charter of rights of the patients was shared with the Ministry by the National Human Rights Commission due to the ongoing situation in the country and that draft was discussed in the meeting of the stakeholders.

Coming to the words in the columns, there is only one word from the first column that will fill the blank correctly for the first blank and that is shared whereas from the second column, we can only use discussed among the three given words. Therefore the correct combination would have been AE. No other combination of words would have made the sentence correct both grammatically and contextually.

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

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 6

F

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 6

The author tries to highlight that the onus of action lies on the states. Option D is incorrect grammatically.

Hence, option E is correct.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 7

H

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 7

The author states that there is no analysis of the information being spread and people believe what they read. ‘Critical’ here refers to this analysis and is the correct answer.

Hence, option B is correct.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 8

I

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 8

The statement states that Indian needs to rethink on the subject of water information dissemination. We need a preposition here and the correct one is ‘about’.

Hence, Option A is correct.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 9

J

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 9

The statement talks about the danger present in the way information is spread. We need a preposition here and hence, ‘in’ is correct.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 10

Directions: In the question given below, a sentence has been broken down into four fragments labelled (A), (B), (C) and (D) and arranged, not necessarily in the correct order. You have to find the correct order of arrangement from the options given below.
She and her husband bought a helicopter (A) / staffed with uniformed servants (B) / in order to commute between their opulent Connecticut (C) / manor and an apartment on Central Park West. (D)

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 10

The sentence is erroneous because a helicopter cannot be staffed with servants. From the sentence, we can understand that fragments C and D will come together as they tell us about the commute between two places. Fragment B will come after fragment D to mention that the apartment was staffed with several servants and finally, A will be the last fragment.

Correct Sentence:

In order to commute between their opulent Connecticut manor and an apartment on Central Park West staffed with uniformed servants, she and her husband bought a helicopter.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 11

The bold word "boost" means to enhance or advance. Synonyms: Raise, Magnify, Uplift Antonyms: Impede, Reduce, Decrease Thus , clearly option A impede(to hinder) expresses the opposite meaning of the given sentence.

The following given table gives partial information about the number of students studying in five different universities – U1, U2, U3, U4 and U5 belongs to four different states – Delhi, Assam, Tripura and Bangalore. Detailsof % of students belongs to Delhi out of total number of students in a particular university, % of students belongs to Assam out of total non – Delhi students, ratio of number of students belongs to Tripura and Bangalore and difference between number of students belong to Delhi and Bangalore are given below. Number of students who belongs to Delhi is more than the number of students belongs to Bangalore for universities U1, U3 and U5 and for rest universities this statement is not true.

A mixture of milk and water of 88 litres in the ratio of P4:P3 respectively. Find the amount of milk?

(e )None of these

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 14
For value of P1

Total number of students = 3600

Number of students belongs to Delhi = 25% of 3600 = 900

Total number of non – Delhi students = 3600 – 900 = 2700

Number of students belongs to Bangalore = 900 – 360 = 540

Number of students belongs to Tripura = 11/5 x 540 = 1188

Number of students belongs to Assam = 2700 – (540 + 1188) = 972

So, value of P1 = 972/2700 x 100 = 36%

For value of P2

Let the total number of non – Delhi students = 100a

Number of students belongs to Assam = 35% of 100a = 35a

Number of students belongs to Tripura = 2/13 x (100a – 35a) = 10a

Number of students belongs to Bangalore = 100a – (35a + 10a) = 55a

Number of students belongs to Delhi = 55a – 216

So, (55a – 216) + 100a = 4000

So value of a = 27.2

So number of students belongs to Delhi = 55 x 27.2 – 216 = 1280

Value of P2 = 1280/4000 x 100 = 32%

For value of P3

Number of students belongs to Delhi = 24% of 4500 = 1080

Number of students belongs to Bangalore = 1080 – 225 = 855

Number of students belongs to Assam = 35% of (4500 – 1080) = 1197

So number of students belongs to Tripura = 4500 – (1080 + 855 + 1197) = 1368

Ratio of number of students belongs to Tripura and Bangalore = 1368: 855 = 8:5 = 16:10

So value of P3 = 10

For value of P4

Number of students belongs to Delhi = 18% of 3000 = 540

Number of students belongs to Bangalore = 540 + 75 = 615

Number of students belongs to Assam = 15% of (3000 – 540) = 369

Number of students belongs to Tripura = 3000 – (540 + 615 + 369) = 1476

Ratio of number of students belongs to Tripura and Bangalore = 1476:615 = 12:5

So value of P4 = 12

For value of P5

Number of students belongs to Delhi = 20% of (P5)

Number of students belongs to Assam = 25% of (80% of P5) = 20% of (P5)

Number of students belongs to Tripura = 11/15 x (100%P5 – 40%P5) = 44% P5

Number of students belongs to Bangalore = 16% P5

Now, 20% of P5 – 16% of P5 = 96

So, value of P5 = 96/4 X 100 = 2400

So, value of P5 = 2400

Answer: A

Ratio of milk and water = P4:P3 = 12:10 = 6:5

So amount of milk = 6/11 x 88 = 48 litres

Hence answer is option A

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 15

Read the following information carefully and answer the questions based on it.

In a Delhi University election for President, there were four candidates – Arnav, Arun, Aruna and Anur. Three colleges participated in the election – Miranda House, Kirodimal and Ramjas. Candidates who got the highest number of votes in all three colleges together are considered as a winner and he/she will be the president of Delhi University.

Miranda House: Ratio of votes received by Arun and Arnav was 1:2 while that of Arun and Anur was 30:43. Aruna received 25(25/89) % of total votes which was 8 more than that of Anur.

Kirodimal: Ratio of number of votes received by Anur in Miranda house and Kirodimal was 43:45. Aruna received (20/7) % more votes than Arnav and (1700/53) % less than that of Arun. Total votes received in Kirodimalwere 36 less than that of Miranda House.

Ramjas: Votes received by Arun is 22.66% more than that of Aruna and Anur received 6.66% less votes than what he received in Kirodimal. Arnav received (1280/63) % of total votes of RamjasCollege. Votes received byArnavis 40 lessthan that of what Anur received in Ramjascollege.Sum of votes received by Arun and Arunais 334.

Number of votes received by Arun and Anur together in Ramjas college is how much % of total number of votes received by Arun and Aruna together?

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 15
Miranda House

Ratio of votes received by Arun and Arnav was 1:2 while that of Arun and Anur was 30:43.

So Respective Ratio of Votes received by Arun, Arnav and Anur = 30:60:43.

Aruna received 25(25/89) % of total votes = 45/178 of total votes

So respective ratio of votes received by Arun, Arnav, Anur and Aruna = 30:60:43:45

Votes received by Aruna is 8 more than Anur.

So, (45 – 43) Units = 8

1 unit = 4

So votes received by Arun, Arnav, Anur and Aruna was, 120, 240, 172, and 180 respectively.

Total votes received = 712

Kirodimal

Votes received by Anur = 45/43 x 172 = 180

Total votes received in Kirodimal = 712 – 36 = 676

Respective ratio of votes received by Aruna and Arnav = 36:35

Respective ratio of votes received by Aruna and Arun = 36:53

So ratio of votes received by Aruna, Arnav and Arun = 36:35:53

Total votes received by Aruna, Arnav and Arun = 676 – 180 = 496

So votes received by Aruna, Arnav and Arun were 144, 140 and 212 respectively.

Ramjas:

Votes received by Anur = 14/15 x 180 = 168

Votes received by Arnav = 168 – 40 = 128

Total votes received in Ramjas = 6300/1280 x 128 = 630

Ratio of votes received by Arun and Aruna = 92:75

Sum of votes received by Arun and Aruna = 334

So, votes received by Arun = 92/167 x 334 = 184

Votes received by Aruna = 75/167 x 334 = 150

Answer: B

Number of votes received by Arun and Anur together in Ramjas college = 184 + 168 = 352

Total number of votes received by Arun and Aruna together = 516 + 474 = 990

Required % = 352/990 x 100 = 35.556%

Hence answer is option B

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 16

The price of petrol increases by 12.5%. By how much percentage must a person reduce his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not increase?

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 16
Using shortcut formula,

P/(100 + P) × 100

So, reduction in consumption = 12.5/(100 + 12.5) × 100 = 11.11%

Alternately,

Let original consumption = c

Let initial price = p

Let initial expenditure = e

e = pc...(i)

Let final consumption = k

New price = 1.125p

e = 1.125 pk....(ii)

Equating (i) and (ii), we get

pc = 1.125pk

or

k = c/1.125 = 0.8888c

Thus, percent reduction = (1 - 0. 8888) × 100 = 11.11%.

Consider the following pairs:

1. Justice Yashwant Varma Case - Discovery of cash and opaque proceedings highlight judicial accountability issues.

2. In-House Procedure - Formal inquiry procedure with legal standards for judicial misconduct.

3. First Caste-Based Census since 1931 - Scheduled for 2027 Census.

How many pairs given above are correctly matched?

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 3 (Paper 1) - Question 27

1. Justice Yashwant Varma Case - Correctly matched. The discovery of cash and subsequent opaque proceedings indeed highlight significant issues of judicial accountability. The controversy surrounding Justice Varma emphasizes the weaknesses in transparency and accountability within the judiciary.

2. In-House Procedure - Incorrectly matched. The in-house procedure is not a formal inquiry procedure with legal standards; it is informal and lacks legal safeguards and public accountability, which are key criticisms against it.

3. First Caste-Based Census since 1931 - Correctly matched. The 2027 Census will indeed include a caste-based enumeration, making it the first such exercise since 1931.

4. Digital Census Challenges - Incorrectly matched. While digital literacy among enumerators is being improved, it is not the sole solution. Challenges are also addressed through measures like offline data collection in remote areas and enhanced training with multilingual interfaces.

Thus, only pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched.
