The father of E’s father is his grandfather. Therefore, E and the granddaughter mentioned in the question are siblings.

Solution: Here, the decision by the CFO appears to be flawed because he made a blanket rule, which though useful in the short term, would not have yielded long term gains. Options 1 and 2 are misleading as the decision for restructuring the finances appears to be correct, but its implementation is being questioned. The CFO was given a mandate and it is his job to implement it, not the Chairman’s.Option 4 is the most plausible course of action to take to maintain healthy finances as well as good client relations. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Solution: The Chairman attributed the actual responsibility of effectively communicating the need for prompt payment on the Regional Manager. The Regional Manager had the option of forcefully defending the client’s importance to the CFO and also communicating the CFO’s stand to the client. Most importantly the discontinuation of services without proper intimation was incorrect. The arbitrariness of that decision was improper. Options 1 and 2 appear correct at first glance, but are however not genuine. Both the options cannot be justified as being correct reasons for suspending the Regional Manager. Here, we have to assume the business acumen of the Chairman. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Y occurs at: 57 ;58 ;67 ;76 ;97 ;

Clearly, I directly follows from the statement while II cannot be deduced from it.

Investment in securities involves risk. This does not mean that one should not invest in securities. So, I does not follow. Since the statement advises one to consult investment advisor before investing, so II follows.

Following the final solution we can say that P and R are the neighbours of D.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Common Explanation:
Reference:
Only 3 persons sit to the left of R.
3 persons sit between R and Q.
Inference:
As we don’t know that in which direction exactly R is facing. So, we can say that there possible scenarios in which we can use the above information correctly.
Case 1:
R faces north.

Case 2:
R faces south.

Reference:
B is 2nd to the left of Q.
Neighbours of R face the south.
B and Q face in opposite direction.
Inference:
We can use the above information in both of the cases accordingly as shown in the figures:

Reference:
More than 2 people’s sits between B and S.
D is 2nd to the left of S.
Inference:
After studying the first information we can say that either 3 or 4 persons are sitting between B and S. and with the second hint we can place D according to S in the row and we can say that there are exactly 4 persons are sitting between B and S.

Reference:
Neighbours of P face the same direction.
A and P faces in opposite direction.
C is 2nd to the right of A.
Inference:
With the first hint we can say that our case 2 is an invalid case as we cannot place P with both of its neighbour facing the same direction.
And after placing P in case 1 we can fix the position of A and C easily and can complete the puzzle.

5% for 3 years (SI) = 15% of the amount; At the same time 4% SI for 4 years means 16% of the amount. The difference between the two is 1% of the amount. 1% of 500 = Rs. 5

Raju being twice as good a workman as Vijay, you can solve the following equation to get the
required answer:
1/R + 1/2R = 1/14.
Solving will give you that Vijay takes 42 days.

12 × 5 man days + 16 × 5 Boy days
= 13 × 4 man days + 24 × 4 Boy days
Æ 8 man days = 16 Boy days
1 man day = 2 Boy days.
Required ratio of man’s work to boy’s work = 2 : 1.

Let the number is a a – (75/100)*a*(120/100) = 40 we will get a = 400

Average of set A elements = x + 4.5
Average of set B elements = y + 7
So,  = 9/14
⇒ 14x + 63 = 9y + 63
⇒ x/y = 9/14

Total population of State S = 7 million.

∴ Population above poverty line

    = [(100 - 19)% of 7] million

    = (81% of 7) million

    = 5.67 million.

And so, the number of females above poverty line in State S

= 2.43 million.

If you hold out for something, you refuse to accept something which you do not think is good enough or large enough, and you continue to demand more. I should have held out for a better deal.

Hence, the correct answer is option c i.e. offer.

Choices A, B and E all imply that humans should be struck by vehicles, not that they are or will be. Should implies a sense of moral purpose, which is clearly not the right thing to say here. It is tantamount to saying that if too few people are hit by vehicles, then extra humans will be hit. That leaves us with choices C and D. Choice C disrupts the parallel structure necessary to make the rest of the sentence fit. D has the correct parallel structure: Every three minutes something happens and each minute something else happens. C also implies that it is the same human being that is struck every three minutes. Only choice D doesn’t use the word should and maintains correct parallel structure. Choice D is the correct answer.

Refer to, “The BIS, which sets the quality regulations for various products from gold to bottled water, on Friday called a meeting of industry bodies to “persuade them to be part of the process and give their inputs.”

It is clear from the above passage that the Bureau of Indian Standards wants the industry bodies to be part of the process of standardization drive to be launched by the organization regarding the services sectors. The organization wants the industry bodies to share their views regarding the benchmark that will be created by the BIS.

Among the given options, statements B and C are incorrect since they are about asking the industry bodies to take care of the customer complaints in any way possible whereas the passage is about the BIS developing new benchmark for standards. Statement D is also not correct since it is completely irrelevant in the given context.

Only statement A implies the appeal that was made by the BIS to the industry bodies.

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

Refer to, "During the meeting, the BIS pointed out that the initial focus will be the 12 champion services sectors identified by the government."

It means that statement I is incorrect since the initial focus will be on 12 sectors belonging to the service sector and these sectors have also been identified by the Government as the champion sectors of the economy. The focus will not be on all the sectors of the economy.

Refer to, "The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) standards is set to formulate a framework for quality services that should be provided to consumers and also talk about the benchmarks to deal with consumer complaints or after sales service in an effort to ensure quality in the services sector."

It implies that the BIS wants to develop a framework in which there will be main focus on the consumer complaints regarding the after sales service concerning any product. The customers should not complaint about the servicing after buying any product, this is the main objective of the new framework. This makes Statement II correct.

According to the above lines, it is also true that the new standardization drive is meant to create a benchmark for service sector in after sales service of any product. This makes Statement III also correct.

This makes option A the right choice among the given options.

1. Sugar Industry is an important agro-based industry that impacts livelihood of 50 million farmers and 5 lakh mill workers. Besides, India is the second largest producer (15% of global production) and the industry has strong linkages with other industries like bio-electricity, chemicals etc.
2. Currently, the central government announces Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) at the recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). Besides this, some states declare state specific sugarcane prices called State Advised Prices (SAP), usually higher than the FRP.
