Alibaba's Business Sector:

Given Information:
- Alibaba did not found ABC.
- Alibaba's company is headquartered in Chicago.
- ABC is not into Manufacturing or IT and is not headquartered in Dubai.

Analysis:
From the given information, we know that Alibaba did not found ABC, and ABC is not into Manufacturing or IT. Additionally, ABC is not headquartered in Dubai. Therefore, Alibaba's company cannot be ABC. Since Alibaba's company is headquartered in Chicago, it is not ABC, ACC, ABB, or ADB, leaving ADC as the only option.

Conclusion:
Alibaba's business sector is Business Services.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A) Business Services'.

Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions independently of one another.Sham had moved to Chennai at the age of 22 in search of employment in the manufacturing sector. He had completed an industrial training course. Roto Manfacturing hired him after they noticed that he was sincere and that he worked hard. Within four years, he reached the position of a supervisor in the company and was leading a team of 25 workers. Sham’s uncle suggested to him that he start his own manufacturing firm as he had gained sufficient experience in the field. Sham was excited by the thought of running his own firm, and with some financial help from his uncle, he soon started his own manufacturing plant. He convinced a few trustworthy employees and colleagues from Roto Manufacturing to join him in this venture. The venture witnessed rapid growth and within two years, Sham began receiving orders from other countries as well. Sham began expanding the capacity of the unit and in three years’ time, the total number of employees working in his company had reached 600. Around the same time, Chennai was witnessing rapid development in the services industry. Because of this development, labourers were gradually shifting their jobs from the manufacturing sector to the more lucrative services sector as they received better salaries with relatively lower physical workloads. Gradually many of Sham’s employees began to leave the company resulting in a shortage of manpower at the plant. This in turn resulted in Sham not being able to meet the timelines on his projects causing increased customer dissatisfaction.Exisitng employees demanded higher wages to continue in the company. If Sham increases the wages, then his company would find it difficult to remain profitable. He is not able to recruit young people as they did not like the jobs in the manufacturing sector as the sector demanded more physical work.If you were Sham, what in your opinion would be the most appropriate action to get the company back on track?
