The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The prices of commodities are decreasing globally.
Key Points

• The term "easing" in the context of prices generally means that prices are decreasing or becoming less severe.
• The passage is discussing positive economic signs, and the easing of global commodity prices is highlighted as one such positive indicator.
• A decrease in global commodity prices would contribute to the overall positive economic outlook by helping to moderate inflation.
• Therefore, "easing" indicates a downward trend in prices, which aligns with the author's optimistic view of improving economic conditions.

Therefore, the correct answer is The prices of commodities are decreasing globally.
Additional Information

• Option 1: Commodity prices are increasing day by day. This is incorrect because "easing" implies a reduction, not an increase.
• Option 2: It is easy to determine global commodity prices today. This is incorrect as "easing" refers to the movement of prices, not the ease of determining them.
• Option 3: The prices of commodities are changing globally. While this is somewhat true, it is too vague. The passage specifically implies that prices are easing, which means decreasing.

As per the given information:

1. For the number 876954132 the first and the sixth digits are interchanged:

476958132

2. The second and seventh digits of the same number are interchanged and so on:

413258769

3.Seventh digit from the left end in "413258769" = 7

Hence, the correct answer is "2".

Given:
Arun brought 50 kg of rice at a discount of 15% on the marked price.
The shopkeeper offered 5 kg of wheat for free.
Formula used:
Profit % = (Profit/Cost price) × 100
Calculation:
Let the cost of rice be Rs. x per kg
Price of 50 kg rice = Rs. 50x
But he bought it at a discount of 15%
Cost Price of rice for arun = Rs. (50x × 85/100 )
= Rs. 42.5x
The price of an extra 5 kg wheat sold at 60% M.p of rice = 5 × 0.6x
= Rs. 3x
Retailer didn’t paid Rs. 3x though he got (50 + 5) kg = 55 kg of weight
But he sold the 55 kg mix at a price Rs. 53x
Profit gained by him = (53x – 42.5x) = 10.5x
Profit percentage = (10.5x/42.5x) × 100
⇒ 24.7 %

∴ The answer is 24.7%.

Given:

Speed of the stream = 5 km/h

Speed of the boat in still water = 10 km/h

Distance from A to C = Distance from B to C

Time to travel downstream from point A to B and from B to C = 20 hours

Formula Used:

Speed downstream = Speed of boat in still water + Speed of stream

Speed upstream = Speed of boat in still water - Speed of stream

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculation:

Speed downstream = 10 + 5 = 15 km/h

Speed upstream = 10 - 5 = 5 km/h

Let, Distance from point A to B = 2x

So, distance from point A to B = distance from point B to C = 2x/2 = x

Now, according to the given data,

⇒ 2x/15 + x/5 = 20

⇒ (2x + x × 3)/15 = 20

⇒ 5x/15 = 20

⇒ x/3 = 20

⇒ x = 20 × 3 = 60 km

So, Distance between A and C = Distance between B and C = 60 km

So, Total distance = 2 × 60 =120 km

∴ The distance between A and B is 120 km.

Given:

A, B and C start a business with their capitals in the ratio ∶ ∶

Calculation:

LCM of 5, 4 and 8 = 40

So, 40 × = 16, 40 × = 30, 40 × = 25

Let the investments of A, B, and C be 16x, 30x and 25x

Capital of A at the end of the year = 16x × 3 + (16x + 16x × 25%) × 9 = 228x

Capital of B at the end of the year = 30x × 3 + (30x - 30x × 20%) × 9 = 306x

Capital of C at the end of the year = 25x × 12 = 300x

Ratio of share of profit = 228x : 306x : 300x

⇒ 38 : 51 : 50

Now,

Share of C = 108420 × (50/139)

⇒ 39000

∴ The share (in Rs.) of C in the total profit of Rs. 108420 after one year is 39000.

Given:

Pipe A can fill a tank in 30 hours

Pipe B can fill a tank in 45 hours

C alone can empty the full tank in 20 hours

Calculations:

Let the total work be 1

Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/30 units

Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/45 units

Work done by C in 1 hour = -1/20 units ----(-ve sign shows that it is emptying the tank)

Work done by C in 8 hour = -8/20 = -2/5 units ----(-ve sign shows that it is emptying the tank)

Work done by (A + B) to fill 2/5 tank emptied by C

⇒ 1/30 + 1/45 = 2/5 of tank

⇒ (3 + 2)/90 = 2/5

⇒ 1/18 = 2/5

⇒ (2/5) × 18 = 7.2 hours

∴ The time taken by pipes A and B together take to fill the tank completely is 7.2 hours.

Given:

A boat can cover a distance of 56 km downstream in 3.5 hours

The ratio of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream is 3 : 1

Concept used:

Speed = D/T

D = distance

T = time

Calculation:

Speed of the boat downstream = 56/3.5

⇒ 16 km/h

Now,

To cover 41.6 downstream it will take = 41.6/16 hours

⇒ 2.6 hours

∴ The boat will take 2.6 hours to cover a distance of 41.6 km downstream.

Additional InformationHere we do not need to calculate the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream individually, as in the question the operations were asked downstream.

Given:

The average age of A, B and C, 5 years ago, was 32 years.

The average age of B and C, 6 years ago, was 28.5 years.

Concept used:

Total = Average × Number of entities

Calculation:

Let the present age of A, B and C be denoted by A, B and C.

According to the question,

(A - 5) + (B - 5) + (B - 5) = 32 × 3

⇒ (A + B + C) = 111 ....(1)

(B - 6) + (C - 6) = 28.5 × 2

⇒ (B + C) = 69 ....(2)

(1) - (2) we get,

A = 111 - 69 = 42

A will retire in = (60 - 42) = 18 years

∴ After 18 years from now, A will retire.
