Directions (6-13): Read the the following passage and answer the given questions. Certain words/phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Though global multinationals account for only 2% of the world’s jobs, they own or orchestrate the supply chains that account for over 50% of world trade, they make up 40% of the value of the West’s stock markets; and they own most of the world’ intellectual property. Although the idea of being at the top of the food chain makes these companies sound all-conquering, rickety and overextended are often more ktting adjectives. Companies became obsessed with internationalising their customers, production, capital and management. In 2016multinationals’ cross-border investment fell by 10-15%, the share of trade accounted for by cross-border supply chains has stagnated since 2007 and the proportion of sales that Western krms make outside their home region has shrunk. They are in retreat. To understand why this is, consider the three parties that made the boom possible, investors, the “headquarters countries" in which global krms are domiciled, and the “host countries" that received multinational investment. Each thought that multinational krms would provide superior knancial or economic performance. Investors saw a huge potential for economies of scale. As China, India and the Soviet Union opened up,- and as Europe liberalised itself into a single market, krms could sell the same product to more people. Moreover, they saw ‘geographical arbitrage’ i.e. from the rich world they could get management, capital, brands and technology and from the emerging world they could get cheap workers and raw materials as well as lighter rules on pollution. These advantages led investors to think global krms would grow faster and make higher prokts. That was true for a while, not today. The prokts of the top 700-odd multinational krms have dropped by 25% over the past kve years, according to FTSE, an index krm. The weakness of many currencies against the dollar is part of the story; the stump in commodity prices, and thus the prokts of oil krms, mining krms and the like is a factor too. Another 10% of deterioration is due to the collapse of banks. Individual bosses will often blame one-off factors, currency moves, the economic collapse of Venezuela, currency swaps and the like can be thought of, a depression in Europe, a crackdown on graft in China, and so on. But the deeper explanation is that both the advantages of scale and those of arbitrage have worn away. As a result, krms with a domestic focus are winning market share by 2%. In Brazil, two local banks, have trounced global lenders. What about the “headquarters countries"? In the 1990s and 2000s they wanted their national champions to go global in order to become bigger and brainier. The mood changed after the knancial crisis. Multinational krms started to be seen as agent of inequality. They created jobs abroad, but not at home. As a result, the tapestry of rules designed to help business globally is fraying. Takeovers of western krms now often come with strings attached by governments to safeguard local jobs and plants. There are gathering clouds in host countries as well. China has been turning the screws on foreign krms in a push for “Indigenous innovation". Bosses say that more products have to be sourced locally and intellectual property often ends up handed over to local partners. Strategic local partners. Strategic industries, including the internet, are out of bounds to foreign investment. Many fear that China’s approach will be mimicked around the developing world, forcing multinational krms to invest more locally and create more jobs-a mirror image of the pressure placed on them at home.

Directions (24-30): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given. Certain words/phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Intended to give its workers more rest, this year, the Taiwanese government has brought about some labour amendments such as the “one kxed day off, one flexible day off’. It has steadily garnered raked reactions in the media. News of businesses moving to enact measures to meet the new regulations has emerged, including price hikes and reduced business hours. Reports such as popular food chains upping their prices have coloured media. On the other hand, Taiwan’s two major convenience stores denied reports that stores would be closing over the weekend in response to the regulations. The latest circumstances only presented examples of how the new holiday policy would hinderTaiwanese businesses’operations, pose price hikes and create a more difkcult environment for Taiwanese nationals to go about their daily lives in an already wage-stagnant economy.
Increased costs are inevitable. But should it be looked upon with disdain and diversion? Let us look at the issue from a different perspective. Foreigners and tourists have commented that the 24-hour convenience stores and high quality of service have left a positive impression about the country. That should be a point of pride for Taiwan, but on the other hand, the new holiday policy also provides an opportunity to spur change as Taiwan’s laudable conveniences also come along with their own set of burdens.
Many of the everyday conveniences were built upon the hard work and long hours of employees who provided quality and tireless service to the masses. It is understandable that all kinds of enterprises avoid uncertainty as it does not bode well for business operations. The new policy provides uncertainty in spades. But the status quo that businesses have long upheld has not worked for Taiwan in the past decade. No longer have the long working hours either transferred into benekts for the working people or helped propel Taiwan’s GDP back to the kgures during its “industrial miracle" era. Taiwan’s working environment and holiday policy also provides an opportunity to spur change as Taiwan’s laudable conveniences also come along with their own set of burdens. Many of the everyday conveniences were built upon the hard work and long hours of employees who provided quality and tireless service to the masses. It is understandable that all kinds of enterprises avoid uncertainty as it does not bode well for business operations. The new policy provides uncertainty in spades. But the status quo that businesses have long upheld has not worked for Taiwan in the past decade. No longer have the long working hours either transferred into benekts for the working people or helped propel Taiwan’s GDP back to the kgures during its “industrial miracle" era. Taiwan’s working environment and policies protecting both enterprises and workers have long needed an overhaul. While initial reports indicate that the new holiday policy has led to a rise in basic commodity prices. It should become an opportunity for businesses to gripe about. They should not increase prices but fail to increase staff costs and adjust inferior budget planning, ultimately failing to increase employment: This is the easy way to face the new policy and for enterprises to stay afloat in tough times. It should not, however, continue at the expense of the everyday workers and the economy at large. Increasing employment and providing adequate overtime pay to keep working hours in check are factors in the government’s labour revision efforts last year, which they hope could improve existing working conditions.
It’s still too early to say whether President and his party’s holiday policy would improve working conditions. Taiwan’s businesses should look out for its employees’ well-being instead of their costs, while the government must similarly look out for businesses and the people at large to ensure effective policy progress. There is no doubt that the Taiwan’s working environment is in need of change, and the new holiday policy provides a platform for that. However, whether it would bring about a good or bad change ultimately is left up to how the key players-businesses, the government and the people-respond.

Ans .

(4)40


  1. Explanation :

    Let the speed of the bus when it halts = x km/h Speed of the bus when it travelled = (x +4) km/h
    According to question, \(\frac{60}{x}-\frac{60}{x+4} = \frac{10}{60}*60*[\frac{x+4-x}{x*(x+4)}] = \frac{1}{6}*1440=x^2+4x\)
    x² + 4x —1440 =0
    x² + 40x — 36x —1440 = 0 x (x + 40) – 36 ( x + 40) = 0
    (x­36) (x+ 40) = 0
    x=36, – 40
    ∴ Speed of the bus when it travelled = 36 + 4 = 40 km/h

    \(x*\frac{46*9}{100*16} = 10350\)
    \(x = \frac{1150*1600}{56}\)
    x = Rs.40,000/­
    ∴ Duggabati spent on paying rent in a year
    \(=40000*\frac{24}{100}*12\)= Rs.1,15,200 /­





Ans .

(4) 34.4


  1. Explanation :

    10a – 8a = 3
    2a =3
    \(a = \frac{3}{2}\)
    \(\frac{x}{9a+a}+\frac{x-5}{9a-a}\)
    \(\frac{4x-5x-25}{60}=\frac{285}{60}\)
    ⇒ x = 34.4 km

  1. Explanation :

    From statement I,
    Let the number of cards in a bag = 2n or 2n + 1
    When the number of cards = 2n
    ∴ Even numbered card = n ∴ Required probability = 7/31
    31n – 31 = 28n ­14
    31n – 28n = 31­ 14
    3n = 17 ⇒ n = 17/3
    When number of cards = 2n + 1
    ∴ Ecen numbered card = n
    ∴ Required probability = 7/31
    31 n – 31 = 28 n + 14
    31n – 28n = 31 + 14
    3n = 45 ⇒ n = 15
    ∴ Total number of cards = 2n + 1 = 2 × 15 + 1 = 31 From statements II and III,
    Number of card = 16 + 15 = 31

Ans .

(5)Any two of the three statements is sufkcient to answer the question.


  1. Explanation :

    From statement I and II,
    a + b = 14 …….(i)
    a² + b² = 106 …..(ii) (a+b)² = a² + b² + 2ab (14)² = 106 + 2ab
    2ab = 196 – 106 = 90
    ab = 45
    ∴ (a­b)² = (a+b)² – 4ab
    (a­b)² = (14)² – 4 × 45
    = 196 – 180
    (a­b)² = 16
    a­b = 4 ….(iii)
    Adding equation (i) and equation (iii), 2a = 18 ⇒ a = 9
    b = 14 ­9 = 5
    a³ + b³ = (9)³ + (5)³ = 729 + 125 = 854
    From statements II and III, a² + b² =106 a =b – 4
    (b – 4)² + b² =106 b²+ 16 – 8b + b² =106 2b² ­8b ­90 =0 b² ­4b ­45 =0
    b² ­9b + 5b – 45 =0 b (b ­9)+5 (b ­9) =0 (b­9)(b+5)=0
    b =9
    a =9 – 4 = 5 =0
    a³ +b³ =(9)³ + (5)³ = 729 + 125 = 854
    From statements III and I, a + b =14 a = b – 4
    b – 4+ b =14
    2b =18
    b =9 ⇒ a = 9 – 4 = 5
    a³ + b³ = (9)³ + (5)³ = 729 + 125 =854

    After 6 months, the investments of A, B and C be 3y, 2y and y respectively.
    Ratio of investments
    = (2x × 6 + 3y × 6) : (3x × 6 + 2y × 6) : (4x × 6 + y × 6) = (2x + 3y) : (3× + 2y) : (4x + y)
    Rational addition =2x + 3y + 3x + 2y + 4x + y = 9x + 6y
    If total annual profit = z
    B’s share in profit = \(\frac{3x+2y}{9x+6y}*z\)
    C’s share in profit = \(\frac{4x+y}{9x+6y}*z\)
    i.e. 5x = 10y
    x = 2y .....(i)
    B’s share in profit­A’s share in profit = 200
    \((\frac{3x+2y}{9x+6y} - \frac{2x+3y}{9x+6y})z = 200\)
    i.e. z = Rs.4,800/- + 8y ⇒ 5x = 10y x = 2y
