Question 118

Choose the correct arrangement of the following jumbled sentence of a paragraph to make it coherent.
The first sentence is:
Barely a year had elapsed before the Pritzker clan began to squabble.
L. Under the plan he has until 2011 to distribute the assets among the heirs.
M. The family was no longer cohesive whole, they wrote and therefore the business needed the kind of transparency a public corporation might have.
N. A year later the family agreed on a giverning structure for the Pritzker Organisation, requiring Tom to open the books, hold annual meetings of family share holders and issue regular financial reports.
O. In summer 2000, Tom's two brother and a handful of his cousins sent a letter asking him to restructure the holdings.

Video Solution

Solution

Statement O will start the discussion as it begins with "In the summer of 2000" which continues from "Barely a year".

N will follow O as the "A year later" continues the idea in N.

M will follow N as it mentions how the family was no longer a whole as a result of the brothers writing the letter.

L will finish the discussion as it mentions what the new plan was going to do.

Thus, the required sequence is O-N-M-L.

The answer is option D.

Question 119

"Time to bust some myths about the EPF Organisation, India's only social security fund manager for non-government workers, though what follows is not published on a regular basis. Active membership is just about 5 percent, and only 17 per cent of the members account for 84 percent of the balances. That's only Rs. 20000 each ! less than 7percent have a deposit amount more than 5 lacs!"
Choose the statement closest to the idea expressed in this paragraph

Video Solution

Solution

The paragraph starts by talking about busting some myths about the EPFO. The passage then goes on to explain how there is an imbalance wrt the percentage of members and funds.

Thus, the answer is not going to be a positive statement. Hence, A and C can be ruled out.

The passage does not talk about the EPFO not being able to take care of the future. It just talks about the low number of active users and funds per user. Thus, D can be ruled out.

Option B is the best choice for the answer.

Question 120

"Two recent World bank studies on India' rapidly depleting water resources have caused quite a stir. More interesting is how water seems to have become the new focus area for Bank assistance: at $ 3.2 billion in 2005 08 from a mere $ 700 million in 1999 04. Within water again, more money is going to rural water, large hydropower projects, and water resource management in poor states."
Choose the statement that summarises the above paragraph best.

Video Solution

Solution

All four options are true, but we have to select the most appropriate one among the four.

Options A and B start the discussion but are not the main point of discussion in the passage.

The main topic of discussion is how the funds from the World bank are being distributed to meet the needs of rural areas of the country.

Hence, among the options, D is the most suitable choice.
