Directions: These questions are based on the following information, read the comprehension carefully to answer the given questions.
Eight people A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table but not necessarily in the same order. Some are facing inside and some are facing outside. Not more than two people facing same direction are sitting together.
H sits third to the right of C who is not facing outside. Immediate neighbours of H are facing same directions with respect to each other but opposite direction with respect to H who is facing inside. B is the immediate neighbor of E and both are facing same direction. E sits second to the left of C who is not the immediate neighbor of B. There are equal number of persons facing inside and outside direction. B sits third to the left of A and both are facing opposite directions to each other. H sits to the immediate right of D. F sits second to the left of G.

Q. How many persons are sitting between A and G while counting from left of G?

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 7 - Question 2

Following the common explanation, 2 persons sit between A and G while counting from left of G.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Final arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
H sits third to the right of C who is not facing outside.
E sits second to the left of C who is not the immediate neighbor of B.
B is the immediate neighbor of E and both are facing same direction.
Inferences:
From 1st reference it is clear that C is facing inside and H will sit third to the right of C.
2nd and 3rd references mean that E will sit at a gap of 1 to the left of C and B will not sit with C.

References:
Immediate neighbor of H are facing same direction to each other but opposite direction with respect to H who is facing inside.
B is the immediate neighbor of E and both are facing same direction
B sits third to the left of A and both are facing opposite directions to each other
Inferences:
Immediate neighbor of H are facing same direction to each other but opposite direction with respect to H who is facing inside. It means both the neighbors will face outside.
B sits third to the left of A and both are facing opposite directions to each other. It means B faces inside and A faces outside. A
B is the immediate neighbor of E and both are facing same direction. Hence both E and B face inside.

References:
There are equal numbers of person facing inside and outside direction. Only three people sit between P and R.
H sits to the immediate right of D
F sits second to the left of G.
Inferences:
Hence immediate neighbors of C will face outside as only four people face inside.
H will sit on immediate right of D and C will be the neighbor of F and G.

Hence, we get the final arrangement.

Directions: These questions are based on the following information, read the comprehension carefully to answer the given questions.
Eight people A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table but not necessarily in the same order. Some are facing inside and some are facing outside. Not more than two people facing same direction are sitting together.
H sits third to the right of C who is not facing outside. Immediate neighbours of H are facing same directions with respect to each other but opposite direction with respect to H who is facing inside. B is the immediate neighbor of E and both are facing same direction. E sits second to the left of C who is not the immediate neighbor of B. There are equal number of persons facing inside and outside direction. B sits third to the left of A and both are facing opposite directions to each other. H sits to the immediate right of D. F sits second to the left of G.

Q. If all the persons sitting are equidistant and if H faces south direction, what direction will B be facing?

Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 7 - Question 3

Clearly, if H faces the south direction, we need to make the circle move 180 degrees anti-clockwise and in such a case, B will also be moving 180 degrees anti-clockwise and in new arrangement B will be facing East direction.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Final arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
H sits third to the right of C who is not facing outside.
E sits second to the left of C who is not the immediate neighbor of B.
B is the immediate neighbor of E and both are facing same direction.
Inferences:
From 1st reference it is clear that C is facing inside and H will sit third to the right of C.
2nd and 3rd references mean that E will sit at a gap of 1 to the left of C and B will not sit with C.

References:
Immediate neighbor of H are facing same direction to each other but opposite direction with respect to H who is facing inside.
B is the immediate neighbor of E and both are facing same direction
B sits third to the left of A and both are facing opposite directions to each other
Inferences:
Immediate neighbor of H are facing same direction to each other but opposite direction with respect to H who is facing inside. It means both the neighbors will face outside.
B sits third to the left of A and both are facing opposite directions to each other. It means B faces inside and A faces outside. A
B is the immediate neighbor of E and both are facing same direction. Hence both E and B face inside.

References:
There are equal numbers of person facing inside and outside direction. Only three people sit between P and R.
H sits to the immediate right of D
F sits second to the left of G.
Inferences:
Hence immediate neighbors of C will face outside as only four people face inside.
H will sit on immediate right of D and C will be the neighbor of F and G.

Hence, we get the final arrangement.

  4. Ratio of 5 star hotels on sites A,B and C are 1 : 1 : 2.
  5. Number of 5 star hotels on B website is 20% more than number of 4 star hotels on the same website. 
  6. Number of 3 star hotels on website B and C are same. 

Q. What is the difference between 3 star hotels on site A and 4 star hotels on site C ?
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 7 - Question 15

Following the common explanation, we get
3 star Hotels on site A = 60
4 star Hotels on Site C = 40
Difference = 20
Hence, option A is correct.

Common explanation :
It is given that total number of hotels is 720. 
4 star hotels = 2 × (3 star hotels)
5 star hotels = 3 × (4 star hotels)
Let, 3 star hotels M, 4 star hotels N and 5 star hotels P. 
N = 2M
P = 3N
M + 2M + 6M = 720
9M = 720
M = 80
N = 160
P = 480
Total 200 hotels listed on sites A. Out of which, 30% are 3 star.
60 hotels are there in 3 star category on Site A. 
Total 5 star hotels are 480. 
Ratio of the hotels on site A, B and C is 1:1:2. 
4x = 480
x = 120
Number of 5 star hotels on B website is 20% more than number of 4 star hotels on the same website.
Number of 5 Star Hotels on site B = 120 
So, number of 4 star hotels on site B would be 100. 
Total 4 star hotels are 160.
So 4 star hotels on site C will be 160 – 20 – 100 = 40
Number of 3 star hotels on website B and C are same. 
Total 80
 
So 3 star and 4 star hotels on site B and C should be 10. 

ECGC PO Mock Test - 7 - Question 16

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

The government’s move to infuse upfront an additional capital of Rs 70,000 crore into public sector banks (PSBs) is welcome. The promised removal of the Damocles’ sword of punitive investigation of any banking decision hanging over the heads of bankers today will help banks lend the additional liquidity leveraging this capital would enable.

The moves to support non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) — such as enhancing additional liquidity support to housing finance companies to Rs 30,000 crore by National Housing Bank from Rs 20,000 crore and co-origination of loans by PSBs jointly with NBFCs that are reeling under a liquidity crunch — will provide a booster for fresh loans to the MSME sector.

A transparent one-time settlement policy being provided by banks to benefit MSMEs and retail borrowers in settling their overdues is pragmatic. But banks also must acquire the expertise to assess MSME loan viability and invest in data mining.

Making banks link their lending rates to the repo rates will help better transmission of monetary policy. But for this to work without impairing bank financial health, multiple structural rigidities in the system must be removed. Public sector pre-emption of the bulk of household financial savings must end, for the bond market to really take off to provide longer-term funds for infrastructure projects.

Steps such as further development of the credit default swap markets, facilitating increased trading for price discovery, and establishing an organisation to provide credit enhancement for infrastructure and housing projects make eminent sense, as does onshoring the offshore rupee derivative markets.

A coherent policy of managerial reform, including of remuneration, at public sector banks must accompany the measures announced, for them to take effect.

Q. What is the meaning of the idiom “Damocles’ sword”, as used in the passage?
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 7 - Question 16

Damocles’ sword (Idiom):

Meaning : Any imminent, impending, or eventual trouble, danger, or disaster. 

In Greek mythology, the courtier Damocles was forced to sit beneath a sword suspended by a single hair to emphasize the instability of a king's fortunes.

Example: The new tax law is going to be Damocles' sword hanging over our very business model.

Clearly, option C is the correct answer.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 7 - Question 17

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

Paragraph 1 : The government has announced a list of ‘Institutes of Eminence’ (IoE) among India’s institutions of higher education. This was awaited for the simple reason that finding a place on it would save an educational institution from the clutches of a dreaded regulator. Regulators are meant to ensure that we have a socially desirable outcome, but in the case of higher education in India the opposite seems to have been the case. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has over half a century micro-managed this space to an unimaginable level of silliness. The result has been publicly-funded universities that are cavernous wastes, shattering the aspirations of our youth and producing low-level ‘knowledge’. Evidence of the role of India’s higher-education regulator may be seen in the feature that the few instances when this is not the case the institutions have enjoyed privilege that leaves them protected from its depredations.

Paragraph 2 : The latest offering is in the form of a proposed Higher Education Commission of India (HECI). The intention is to leave the HECI to focus on quality while leaving funding of public institutions to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). Even as we observe the progress of the HECI and wonder if it is going to be any more than old wine in a new bottle, we already have an inkling of what could go wrong. This springs from the government’s announcement of a list of IoEs. The government has chosen three public and three private institutions for this status. The public institutions are the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and the Indian Institutes of Technology at Delhi and Mumbai. The private ones are the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, the JIO Institute and the Manipal Academy of Higher Education. This list suffers from a serious lack of credibility. Where in it are the universities of India? We understand that the government’s aim is to rectify the low presence of Indian institutions in the global rankings of universities.

Paragraph 3 : While the early European universities may have started as academies of the arts they were soon to have medicine and astronomy as areas that they pursued with vigour. Somewhere along the line we seem to have lost this breadth and come to revel in a landscape dominated by engineering schools. These engineering schools, notably the IITs, have done us proud but cannot be equated with the great universities of the world for the simple reason that they are focussed on a narrow domain. Also, if the idea behind IoEs is that they will be left alone and given enhanced financial support, it must be acknowledged that until very recently the IITs have not been meddled with neither have they been starved of resources. The IISc is of course broader than the IITs but does not embrace the social sciences and the humanities, the presence of which would be considered necessary for a university.

Paragraph 4 : If a list of eminent institutions in the country is at all needed, the absence of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) from the first list of IoEs is striking. Its faculty has brought many of the world’s leading ideas to Indian students and in at least area came close to building a new school of thought, however controversial. It is not as if similar efforts in the social sciences have not occurred elsewhere in India but JNU has perhaps sustained its reputation as a university for longer. It already had schools of Computer Science and the Life Sciences over four decades ago when these were fledgling disciplines giving it a certain breadth early on.

Paragraph 5 : Even as we may wonder at the exclusion of JNU from the list of IoEs released by the government one might wonder at how the private institutions that are on it made the cut. While BITS Pilani may have made a significant contribution to the country at a time when it desperately needed engineers, but is yet not what may be considered a university, the presence of the two others on the list leave one nonplussed. One of them, we are told, has been conferred the status on grounds of its promise, a dubious position to take as this institute has little to show except for the financial heft that will surely undergird it. The other is known largely for its association with the practice of charging capitation fees for education.

Q. Which of the following best describes the tone of the author in paragraph 1?
Detailed Solution for ECGC PO Mock Test - 7 - Question 17

Euphoric: full of energy, excitement, and cheerfulness.

Castigating: reprimand/rebuke (someone) severely.

Deploring: feel or express strong condemnation of (something).

Lamenting: a passionate expression of grief or sorrow.

Now, if we read the paragraph we can see the author is criticizing the regulation of the education sector and elaborates on this in the entire paragraph.

Clearly, Option A can be eliminated quickly.

Option D can also be eliminated as the author is not sad or expressing grief but is angry.

Out of options B and C, C is a better choice as the author is not verbally scolding anyone (castigating) but is expressing disapproval and criticizing the heavy handedness of the government regulator in the education sector. Here, option C is a better fit.

Hence, option C is correct.

ECGC PO Mock Test - 7 - Question 18

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

Paragraph 1 : The government has announced a list of ‘Institutes of Eminence’ (IoE) among India’s institutions of higher education. This was awaited for the simple reason that finding a place on it would save an educational institution from the clutches of a dreaded regulator. Regulators are meant to ensure that we have a socially desirable outcome, but in the case of higher education in India the opposite seems to have been the case. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has over half a century micro-managed this space to an unimaginable level of silliness. The result has been publicly-funded universities that are cavernous wastes, shattering the aspirations of our youth and producing low-level ‘knowledge’. Evidence of the role of India’s higher-education regulator may be seen in the feature that the few instances when this is not the case the institutions have enjoyed privilege that leaves them protected from its depredations.

Paragraph 2 : The latest offering is in the form of a proposed Higher Education Commission of India (HECI). The intention is to leave the HECI to focus on quality while leaving funding of public institutions to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). Even as we observe the progress of the HECI and wonder if it is going to be any more than old wine in a new bottle, we already have an inkling of what could go wrong. This springs from the government’s announcement of a list of IoEs. The government has chosen three public and three private institutions for this status. The public institutions are the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and the Indian Institutes of Technology at Delhi and Mumbai. The private ones are the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, the JIO Institute and the Manipal Academy of Higher Education. This list suffers from a serious lack of credibility. Where in it are the universities of India? We understand that the government’s aim is to rectify the low presence of Indian institutions in the global rankings of universities.

Paragraph 3 : While the early European universities may have started as academies of the arts they were soon to have medicine and astronomy as areas that they pursued with vigour. Somewhere along the line we seem to have lost this breadth and come to revel in a landscape dominated by engineering schools. These engineering schools, notably the IITs, have done us proud but cannot be equated with the great universities of the world for the simple reason that they are focussed on a narrow domain. Also, if the idea behind IoEs is that they will be left alone and given enhanced financial support, it must be acknowledged that until very recently the IITs have not been meddled with neither have they been starved of resources. The IISc is of course broader than the IITs but does not embrace the social sciences and the humanities, the presence of which would be considered necessary for a university.

Paragraph 4 : If a list of eminent institutions in the country is at all needed, the absence of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) from the first list of IoEs is striking. Its faculty has brought many of the world’s leading ideas to Indian students and in at least area came close to building a new school of thought, however controversial. It is not as if similar efforts in the social sciences have not occurred elsewhere in India but JNU has perhaps sustained its reputation as a university for longer. It already had schools of Computer Science and the Life Sciences over four decades ago when these were fledgling disciplines giving it a certain breadth early on.

Q. Which of the following is/are true as per the passage?
I. Among countries with a comparable research output, India with 0.8% R&D spending trails Russia, Brazil, South Korea and even Singapore, according to Unesco data.
II. HECI would focus on funding while quality would be regulated by the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
III. The Institution of Eminence (IoE) status has been given to six institutes, three each from the public and private sectors.

The public institutions are the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and the Indian Institutes of Technology at Delhi and Mumbai.
