Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 16 - Question 6

Clearly, 3 + 6 = 9, 9 + 6 = 15,.....

So, the series is an A.P. in which a = 3 and d = 6.

Therefore 21st term = a + (21 - 1) d = a + 20d = 3 + 20 x 6 = 123.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 16 - Question 7

Which one will replace the question mark ?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 16 - Question 7

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 16 - Question 13

Direction: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

An AC 3-Tier train ticket on the Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani, under the Tatkal quota, is priced at around Rs. 2,900, where about a third — over Rs. 800 or 28 per cent — is charged as “dynamic pricing”. It is such high pricing that the majority of people probably referred to it when they voted in LocalCircles’ citizens’ poll.

Tatkal charges are extra charges levied for last minute booking by train passengers and form a part of dynamic charges in a ticket.

Tatkal fares have become “excessive”, said almost three-fourth (74 per cent) of the 8,165 people who answered a query on their experience with Tatkal ticket fares on LocalCircles, a citizen interaction platform. Almost one-fifth polled found the charges “reasonable”. Five per cent even found the charges “quite low”.

Almost 80 percent of people found the ticket cancellation charges high, and desired that such charges on Tatkal tickets be lowered. For seven questions, LocalCircles received votes from over 27,000 participants from over 200 districts. “Railway travellers from Vadodara to Bhubaneswar and from Jammu Tavi to Tirunelveli participated in this survey,” said Sachin Taparia, Founder, LocalCircles.

Almost half of the people who voted were from tier-1 cities, 30 percent from tier-2 cities and 22 per cent from tier-3 and rural locations. Almost 40 per cent of people who participated in the poll were females.

From the 7,739 people who voted on the question “how has cleanliness of trains and railway stations improved in the last 12 months”, about four-fifth felt there was an improvement. Specifically, 39 per cent felt there was marginal improvement, 38 per cent voted for “significant improvement”. Over a fifth (23 per cent) of train customers felt there was no improvement, including five per cent who felt the cleanliness of trains and stations have worsened.

Almost 46 per cent of 8,000-odd people found the food served in trains edible though not delicious, while four per cent found the food catered delicious. 31 per cent said the food was unhygienic or inedible, while 19 per cent were “unsure” about judging the quality of food.

On punctuality of trains, 66 percent of 8,122 people who took the poll during the last 12 months said the trains were delayed by upto one hour.

There is scope to make the India Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Website more consumer-oriented and scope to improve food hygiene standards.

Q. Which among the following is correct regarding the gender-based participation in the survey conducted by LocalCircles regarding the railway services?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 16 - Question 13

Refer to, “Almost 40 per cent of people who participated in the poll were females.”
It is clear that the participation of females is less than that of the males in the survey conducted by LocalCircles to find out the opinion of the passengers regarding the railways services in the country.
Among the given options, option A is not correct since it does not follow from the passage whereas options B and C can be eliminated based on the same logic. Only option D is correct with reference to the participation of the females in the said survey.

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

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 16 - Question 14

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has kicked off the process to set new standards to measure quality of services offered to consumers across different sectors, including telecom, aviation, e-commerce and healthcare.

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.”

“Service sector is one of the key sectors of the Indian economy with a huge potential to grow into one of the largest markets of the world. Standards can play a major facilitative role in this regard. It is important that the standardisation needs and priorities of the sector are determined,” a senior official said.

During the meeting, the BIS pointed out that the initial focus will be the 12 champion services sectors identified by the government. These include IT, tourism and hospitality, transport and logistics, accounting and finance services, legal services, communication services and construction.

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.

At a meeting with industry bodies on Friday, it has been decided that the BIS will set up a separate ‘divisional council’ for services in a month’s time. Under this, different technical committees will be set up — one for each service. The committees will have various stakeholders such as government officials, experts and industry representatives.

The process was initiated after concerns over lack of standardisation, particularly with regards to after-sales service, in their feedback to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs.

In a poll, online community network LocalCircles found that in the absence of defined customer service standards in the country, a majority of consumers were not happy with after-sales services. As per the poll, 43% feel that mobile handset and computer manufacturers are the worst in after-sales services, followed by white goods firms (38%) and automobile companies (11%). About 93% of respondents said brands should at least acknowledge complaints from users within 72 hours. “Many consumers complained that customer service numbers of many companies do not work,” according to LocalCircles.

Q. Which among the following will be framework for standardization initiative of the Bureau of Indian Standards with regard to the services sector?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 16 - Question 14

Refer to, “At a meeting with industry bodies on Friday, it has been decided that the BIS will set up a separate ‘divisional council’ for services in a month’s time. Under this, different technical committees will be set up — one for each service. The committees will have various stakeholders such as government officials, experts and industry representatives.”

It is very clear that the BIS will set up a different division for the purpose of standardization drive in the services sector with technical committees being set up to oversee the technical aspects of such sectors. These committees will have various stakeholders such as the government officials, experts and industry people.

Among the given options, only option C describes this framework of implementing the standardization drive of the BIS in the services sector.

Hence, option C is the right choice among the given options.
