ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 7

Directions: In this question, two rows are given and to find out the resultant of a particular row, you need to follow the steps given below. Give answer to the question asked accordingly. The operations on numbers progress from left to right.

Step 1: If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the second number is to be subtracted from the first number.
Step 2: If an even number is followed by a composite odd number, then they are to be multiplied.
Step 3: If an even number is followed by a number which is a perfect Cube, then the even number is to be subtracted from perfect cube.
Step 4: If an even number is followed by a prime odd number, then the first number is to be divided by the second number.
Step 5: If an odd number is followed by another composite (a non-prime number) odd number, then they are to be added.

Q. Find the resultant of the second row, if N is the resultant of the first row.

Detailed Solution: Question 7

12 × 09 = 108 (As per step 2)
125 − 108 = 17 (As per step 3)

ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 9

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Eight boxes – P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W were placed in an almirah of eight shelves. The bottom shelf was numbered 1 and the topmost shelf was numbered 8. Each of these boxes contained different amount of Sugar – 25 kg, 20 kg, 17 kg, 10 kg, 8 kg, 5 kg, 2 kg and 1 kg but not necessarily in the same order.
Box V was placed at one of the even numbered shelves and contained 17 kg of Sugar. The box which was placed on 6th shelf contained 10 kg of Sugar. Box Q was placed immediately below the box which contained 8 kg of Sugar and immediately above the box which contained 2 kg of Sugar. Box R was not the lightest and Box U, was the heaviest. Box R was placed above the shelf on which Box U was placed but not on the even numbered shelf. Box P, contained 20 kg of Sugar, and was placed either at the top or bottom shelf. There are three boxes between Box U and Box S and Box S was placed below the shelf on which Box U was placed. T was placed immediately above the box which was heaviest.

Q. How many box(es) were placed above the box which contained 25 Kg of Sugar?

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Following the final solution we can say that three boxes were placed above the box which contained 25 Kg of Sugar.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
Final Solution:

Common Explanation:
Reference:
Eight boxes – P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are placed in an almirah of eight shelves. The bottom shelf is numbered one and the topmost shelf is numbered 8. Each of these boxes contain different amount of Sugar – 25 kg, 20 kg, 17 kg, 10 kg, 8 kg, 5 kg, 2 kg and 1 kg but not necessarily in the same order.
Inference:
We will keep this information in mind while solving the puzzle.
Reference:
The box which was placed on 6th shelf contained 10 kg of Sugar.
Inference:
Using the above hints, we have:

Reference:
Box R was not the lightest and Box U, was the heaviest.
There are three boxes between Box U and Box S and Box S was placed below the shelf on which Box U was placed.
T was placed immediately above the box which was heaviest.
Inference:
Here, we have two possible scenarios in which we can use the above hints accordingly.
Case 1:

Case 2:

Here, we will make a mental note of information that Box R was not the lightest.
Reference:
Box R was placed above the shelf on which Box U was placed but not on the even numbered shelf.
Box P, contained 20 kg of Sugar, and was placed either at the top or bottom shelf. 
Inference:
At this point we cannot use the above hints in case 2 so we can say that case 2 is an invalid case.
Case 1:

Reference:
Box Q was placed immediately below the box which contained 8 kg of Sugar and immediately above the box which contained 2 kg of Sugar. 
Inference:
Here, we have two possible scenarios in which we can use the above hints in case 1 accordingly.
Case 1-A:

Case 1-B:

Reference:
Box V was placed at one of the even numbered shelves and contained 17 kg of Sugar.
Inference:
At this point we cannot fix the position of box V according to the above hints in case 1-B so we can say that case 1-B is an invalid case.
Case 1-A:

As we have already figured out that box R was not the lightest so we can say that box R contained 5 Kg of Sugar and box Q contained 1 Kg of Sugar.
Case 1-A:

ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 10

Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Statements: Any student who does not behave properly while in the school brings bad name to himself and also for the school.

Conclusions:

  1. Such student should be removed from the school.
  2. Stricter discipline does not improve behaviour of the students.

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Clearly, I cannot be deduced from the statement. Also, nothing about discipline is mentioned in the statement. So, neither I nor II follows.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 11

Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Statements: Only good singers are invited in the conference. No one without sweet voice is a good singer.

Conclusions:

  1. All invited singers in the conference have sweet voice.
  2. Those singers who do not have sweet voice are not invited in the conference.

Detailed Solution: Question 11

The statement asserts that a good singer always has a sweet voice and only good singers are invited in the conference. This implies that all those invited in the conference have sweet voice and those who do not have sweet voice are not invited. So, both I and II follow.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 12

Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Statements: Players who break various records in a fair way get special prizes. Player X broke the world record but was found to be under the influence of a prohibited drug.

Conclusions:

  1. X will get the special prize.
  2. X will not get the special prize.

Detailed Solution: Question 12

Clearly, X will not get the special prize because although he broke the world record, he was found to use unfair means. So, II follows while I does not.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 13

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions.
Alex, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo and Foxtrot joined six different colleges – UBS, SP JAIN, DAVIET, JBIMS, IIMA and IIMB and opted for six different courses in management – Marketing, Finance, Operations, HR, Logistics and General Management.
Each of them has a different educational qualification out of B. Tech, B.Sc, B.Com, C.A, BBM and BA.
The following information is available about them:

  • Delta joined SP JAIN and did not take up Marketing or Logistics and is not a B. Tech.
  • The person who joined IIMA opted for HR and is not a C.A or B.Sc.
  • Foxtrot is a C.A and has taken Finance management.
  • The person, who is a B.A graduate, joined JBIMS and took Logistics. Whereas, the person, who is a B.Com graduate, took up General Management.
  • The person, who is a B. Tech graduate, has taken Operations Management and did not join UBS or DAVIET.
  • Alex joined IIMB, Charlie is B.A graduate and Bravo took up HR.

Q. If Echo joined DAVIET, then the student who joined UBS, opted for:

Detailed Solution: Question 13

Following the common explanation, if Echo joined DAVIET then Foxtrot will join UBS and opted for finance.
Option A is hence the correct answer.

Common Explanation:
References:
Delta joined SP JAIN and did not take up Marketing or Logistics and is not a B. Tech.
Inference:

References:
Foxtrot is a C.A and has taken Finance management.
Inference:

References:
Alex joined IIMB, Charlie is B.A graduate and Bravo took up HR.
The person who joined IIMA opted for HR and is not a C.A or B.Sc.
Inference:

References:
The person, who is a B.A graduate, joined JBIMS and took Logistics
Inference:

References:
The person, who is a B. Tech graduate, has taken Operations Management and did not join UBS or DAVIET.
Inference:
Thus Alex is a B. Tech graduate.
Now as Delta has not opted for Marketing, Marketing must be opted by Echo, thus Delta opts General Management.

References:
The person, who is a  B . Com  graduate, took up General Management.
Inference:
Thus Delta is  B . Com  graduate.
Now is Bravo has not done B.Sc. he must have done BBM and thus Echo has done B.Sc.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 19

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

There is now no denying that the new government takes office amid a clear economic slowdown. The first macro data set released showed an under-performing economy with GDP growth falling to 5.8% in the fourth quarter of 2018-19 and pulling down the overall growth for the fiscal to a five-year low of 6.8%. Growth in gross value added (GVA), which is GDP minus taxes and subsidies, fell to 6.6% in 2018-19, pointing to a serious slowdown. If further confirmation were needed, the growth in core sector output — a set of eight major industrial sectors — fell to 2.6% in April, compared to 4.7% in the same month last year. And finally, unemployment data, controversially suppressed by the Union government so far, showed that joblessness was at a 45-year high of 6.1% in 2017-18. These numbers highlight the challenges ahead in drafting the Budget for 2019-20. The economy is beset by a consumption slowdown as reflected in the falling sales of everything from automobiles to consumer durables, even fast-moving consumer goods. Private investment is not taking off, while government spending, which kept the economy afloat during the last NDA government, was cut back in the last quarter of 2018-19 to meet the fiscal deficit target of 3.4%.

The good news is that inflation is undershooting the target and oil prices are on the retreat again. But the rural economy remains in distress, as seen by the 2.9% growth in agriculture last fiscal; the sector needs a good monsoon this year to bounce back. Overall economic growth in the first quarter of this fiscal is likely to remain subdued, and any improvement is unlikely until the late second quarter or the early third. There are not too many options before the new Finance Minister. In the near term, she has to boost consumption, which means putting more money in the hands of people. That, in turn, means cutting taxes, which is not easy given the commitment to rein in the fiscal deficit. In the medium term, Ms. Sitharaman has to take measures to boost private investment even as she opens up public spending again. These call for major reforms, starting with land acquisition and labour, corporate taxes by reducing exemptions and dropping rates, and nursing banks back to health. On the table will be options such as further recapitalisation of the ailing banks, and consolidation. The question, though, is where the money will come from. With tax revenues likely to be subdued owing to the slowdown, the Centre will have to look at alternative sources such as disinvestment. There may be little choice but to go big on privatisation. A rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India, widely expected this week, would certainly help boost sentiment. But it is the Budget that will really set the tone for the economy

Q. As per the passage, which of the following would lead to ‘putting more money in the hands of people’?

I. Decrease in tax rates.
II. Increase in inflation
III. Increase in private investment

Detailed Solution: Question 19

Refer to: ‘. In the near term, she has to boost consumption, which means putting more money in the hands of people. That, in turn, means cutting taxes, which is not easy given the commitment to rein in the fiscal deficit.’

As per this, only I is correct while the other points have not been mentioned.

Hence, option A is correct.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 6 - Question 20

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

There is now no denying that the new government takes office amid a clear economic slowdown. The first macro data set released showed an under-performing economy with GDP growth falling to 5.8% in the fourth quarter of 2018-19 and pulling down the overall growth for the fiscal to a five-year low of 6.8%. Growth in gross value added (GVA), which is GDP minus taxes and subsidies, fell to 6.6% in 2018-19, pointing to a serious slowdown. If further confirmation were needed, the growth in core sector output — a set of eight major industrial sectors — fell to 2.6% in April, compared to 4.7% in the same month last year. And finally, unemployment data, controversially suppressed by the Union government so far, showed that joblessness was at a 45-year high of 6.1% in 2017-18. These numbers highlight the challenges ahead in drafting the Budget for 2019-20. The economy is beset by a consumption slowdown as reflected in the falling sales of everything from automobiles to consumer durables, even fast-moving consumer goods. Private investment is not taking off, while government spending, which kept the economy afloat during the last NDA government, was cut back in the last quarter of 2018-19 to meet the fiscal deficit target of 3.4%.

The good news is that inflation is undershooting the target and oil prices are on the retreat again. But the rural economy remains in distress, as seen by the 2.9% growth in agriculture last fiscal; the sector needs a good monsoon this year to bounce back. Overall economic growth in the first quarter of this fiscal is likely to remain subdued, and any improvement is unlikely until the late second quarter or the early third. There are not too many options before the new Finance Minister. In the near term, she has to boost consumption, which means putting more money in the hands of people. That, in turn, means cutting taxes, which is not easy given the commitment to rein in the fiscal deficit. In the medium term, Ms. Sitharaman has to take measures to boost private investment even as she opens up public spending again. These call for major reforms, starting with land acquisition and labour, corporate taxes by reducing exemptions and dropping rates, and nursing banks back to health. On the table will be options such as further recapitalisation of the ailing banks, and consolidation. The question, though, is where the money will come from. With tax revenues likely to be subdued owing to the slowdown, the Centre will have to look at alternative sources such as disinvestment. There may be little choice but to go big on privatisation. A rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India, widely expected this week, would certainly help boost sentiment. But it is the Budget that will really set the tone for the economy

Q. Which of the following, as per the passage, indicate a slowdown in the Indian economy?
I. Fall in sale levels of consumer durables
II. Negative growth in the core sector output
III. Fall in inflations levels

Detailed Solution: Question 20

Refer to: ‘If further confirmation were needed, the growth in core sector output — a set of eight major industrial sectors — fell to 2.6% in April, compared to 4.7% in the same month last year. And finally, unemployment data, controversially suppressed by the Union government so far, showed that joblessness was at a 45-year high of 6.1% in 2017-18. These numbers highlight the challenges ahead in drafting the Budget for 2019-20. The economy is beset by a consumption slowdown as reflected in the falling sales of everything from automobiles to consumer durables, even fast-moving consumer goods.’

I is correct while II is incorrect as the growth has merely slowed down and has not gone in the negative for the core sector. III has not been mentioned in the passage and cannot be inferred.

Only I is correct

Hence, option A is correct.
