UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 4

Which of the following approaches was added by Quinn to the Mintzberg's modes of strategic decision making?

Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 4

The correct answer is Logical incrementalism approach. 

Henry Mintzberg has given three most typical approaches to strategic decision making which include:
1. Entrepreneurial mode
2. Adaptive mode
3. Planning mode

Key Points

  •  Logical Incrementalism is a fourth decision-making mode that was added to Mintzberg’s modes by James Bryan Quinn (1980).
  • Pursuant to this mode, managers develop strategies through “an interactive process in which the organization probes the future, experiments and learns from a series of partial (incremental) commitments rather than through global formulations of total strategies”. 
  • As such, the company’s strategies are developed through a combination of debate, discussion, and experimentation. There is an attempt to build consensus among stakeholders before pursuing a strategy. 
  • This approach appears to be useful when the environment is changing rapidly, or resources must be developed before committing the entire corporation to a specific strategy.

Additional Information

Entrepreneurial Mode:

  • Strategy is made by one powerful individual who has entrepreneurial competencies like innovation and risk-taking. 
  • The focus is on opportunities. Problems are secondary. 
  • Generally, the founder is the entrepreneur, and the strategy is guided by his or her own vision of direction and is exemplified by bold decisions.
  • In any event, strategy is set by an authoritative decision-maker. 

Adaptive mode:

  • The adaptive mode is where managers create reactive solutions to existing problems, rather than a proactive search for new opportunities. Simply wait on issues to arise. 
  • This is a fragmented approach to strategic decision-making. Because of the lack of directed focused development, there is generally a lack of clarity and consensus on strategic goals. 
  • The adaptive mode is commonly known as “muddling through”. It is more appropriate for dealing with complex and changing environments.

Planning Mode:

  • The planning mode of strategic decision-making is characterized by the systematic gathering of relevant information for situation analysis, the generation of feasible alternative strategies, and the rational selection of the most appropriate strategy. 
  • In summary, it is a proactive search for new opportunities and a reactive solution to existing problems.

Hence, the Logical incrementalism approach was added by Quinn to Mintzberg's modes of strategic decision-making.

UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 6

Question: Is height of triangular field is 200 m ?

Statement- I: Base of a triangular field is 7 times height of triangular field. Rs 1400 is cost of rolling Rs 100 per hectare on field.

Statement - II: Base of a triangular field is 3 times height of triangular field. Rs 1350 is cost of rolling Rs 100 per hectare on field.

Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 6

Given:

Statement I base is 7 times height of triangular field

Rolling cost Rs 1400 Rs 100 per hectare

Statement II base is 3 times height of triangular field

Rolling cost Rs 1350 Rs 100 per hectare

Formula used:

Area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h (b = base and h = height)

Calculation:

Statement-I

⇒ b = 7h

⇒ Area of triangular field (A) = 1400/100 hectare = 14 hectare

⇒ A = 14 × 10000 = 140000 m2  (1 hectare = 10000 m2)

Now,

⇒ A = 1/2 × 7h × h

⇒ 140000 m2 =(7/2) × h2

⇒ 140000 m2 × (2/7) = h2

⇒ h = √ 40000 m2 = 200 m

Statement-II

⇒ b = 3h

⇒ Area of triangular field (A) = 1350/100 hectare = 13.5 hectare

⇒ A = 13.5 × 10000 = 135000 m2  (1 hectare = 10000 m2)

Now,

⇒ A = 1/2 × 3h × h

⇒ 135000 m2 =(3/2) × h2

⇒ 135000 m2 × (2/3) = h2

⇒ h = √ 90000 m2 = 300 m

∴ The correct answer is option 1.

UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 7

Fill in the blank with the correct Preposition:-

The gift was so beautiful that he was overwhelmed ______ joy.

Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 7

The correct answer is 'Option 1' i.e. 'with'.

Key Points

  • The phrase "overwhelmed with joy" is a common English expression used to describe a strong feeling of happiness.
  • The preposition "with" is often used after "overwhelmed" to indicate the reason or cause of the overwhelming feeling.
    • Example: She felt overwhelmed with work.

Therefore, the correct answer is- The gift was so beautiful that he was overwhelmed with joy.

Additional Information

  • Option 2 ('for'): The preposition "for" is used to indicate purpose or a reason for something, but it does not fit naturally with "overwhelmed" in this context.
  • Option 3 ('to'): "To" is used to indicate direction, place, or position, and it doesn't make sense in the context of being overwhelmed by an emotion.
  • Option 4 ('in'): Although "in" can sometimes be used with emotions, like "in love" or "in despair," the correct and most natural preposition to use with "overwhelmed" in this context is "with," not "in."
UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 8
An article's marked price is 50% more than its selling price and 100% more than the cost price. If the selling price is increased by 20%, the difference between the profits earned in both transactions is Rs. 2000. What is the cost price of the article?
Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 8

Given:

The marked price of an article is 50% more than its cost price.

Formula used:

Selling Price(S.P) = Marked Price × (100 - Discount%)/100

Calculation:

Let the Cost price be Rs. 150

The marked price of an article is 100% more than its cost price.

⇒ Marked price = 150 × 200/100

⇒ Rs. 300

SP = 300 × 100/150 = 200

Profit = 200 - 150 = 50

New SP = 200 × 120/100 = 240

Profit = 240 - 150 = 90

Difference of profit = 90 - 50 = 40

40 → 2000

150 → 2000/40 × 150 = 7500

The answer is 7500

Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 2 (CSAT) - Question 9

Given Equation: M × N ÷ O + P = ?

BODMAS Rule: 

Decoding the given information:

Now replacing the numbers from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

  2 × 30 ÷ 3 + 5 = ?

⇒ 2 × 10 + 5 = ?

⇒ 20 + 5 = 25

Hence, the correct option is "Option (3)".
