This is not good news from the point of view of reining in the fiscal deficit. Mounting subventions for subsidies means diversion of savings by the government from investment to consumption, raising the cost of capital in the process. The government must cut expenditure on subsidies to create more fiscal space for investments in both physical and social infrastructure. It should outline a plan for comprehensive reform in major subsidies including petroleum, food and fertilizers and set goal posts.<\/p>\n Question 1:\u00a0<\/b>Which of the following is a conclusion which can be drawn from the facts stated in the above paragraph?<\/p>\n a)\u00a0Subsidy provided by the government under various heads to the citizen increases the cost of capital.<\/p>\n b)\u00a0Govt is unable to withdraw subsidies provided to various items.<\/p>\n c)\u00a0Govt subsidy on kerosene is purely a political decision.<\/p>\n d)\u00a0Govt does not have enough resources to continue providing subsidy on petroleum products.<\/p>\n e)\u00a0None of these<\/p>\n Question 2:\u00a0<\/b>Argument:Antibiotics are powerful drugs that help our bodies ward off diseases caused by bacteria.

\nStatement:
\nI) The longer course of treatment for an antibiotic, the more damage can be done to the body\u2019s immune system.

\nInference:
\nI)To call women wise who are not strikingly wise so much,is to use the concept with undue imprecision

\nWhich of the following means that K is the son of D?<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/media\/uploads\/Capture_wOQwyde.JPG\")
<\/p>\n
\nY is a male married to N => N is female
\nP is son\/daughter of A and M
\nH is mother\/father of A and Y
\nS is mother-in-law of H
\nH can be grandmother or grandfather of P => Option E<\/p>\n
\nL – K means L is sister of K
\nK + R means K is brother of R
\nTherefore, L, K and R are children of D and D is father of K and K is son of D
\nHence, correct option is D<\/p>\n
\nThe next number in the sequence should be 2*3 = 6
\n24 = 6*4
\n120 = 24*5
\nSo the correct option to choose is B – 6.<\/p>\n
\n$24 = 6 +2*3^2$
\n$72 = 24 + 3*4^2$
\n$172 = 72 + 4*5^2 $
\nSo the next number in this sequence should be $172 + 5*6^2 = 352$
\nSo the correct option to choose is A – 352.<\/p>\n
\n128 = (3072\/24)
\n8 =(128\/16)
\nSo the next number in this sequence should be 8\/8 = 1.
\nSo the correct option to pick is C – 1.<\/p>\n
