Recruitment Test for Management Trainee (MT) – 16.06.2017
Passage:
Q. Read the passage and answer the question 14=4
The fact that superior service can generate a competitive advantage for a company does not mean
that every attempt at improving service will create such an advantage. Investments in service, like
those in production and distribution, must be balanced against other types of investments on the
basis of direct, tangible benefits such as cost reduction and increased revenues and keeps customers
from leaving at an unacceptable rate, then investment in higher service levels may be wasted, since
service is a deciding factor for customers only in extreme situations. This truth was not apparent to
managers of one regional bank, which failed to improve its competitive position despite its
investment in reducing the time a customer had to wait for a teller. The bank managers did not
recognize the level of customer inertia in the consumer banking industry that arises new customers
by producing a new standard of service that would excite customers or by proving difficult for
competition to copy. The only merit of the improvement was that it could easily be described
customers.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow (Question 1-5):
Climate is dynamic and changing. Now-a-day, climate change is one of the most debated issue in the
world. Human activity is the prime cause of global warming along with natural disasters. The
scientists who are studying and doing research in climate change ail over the world are finding
evidence from tree rings, pollen samples, ice cores and sea sediments of such changes. Climate
change is a global problem, so we need a global solution. The youth can play a vital role in making
the people aware of the effects of climate change. They can make a network to launch a movement
for sustainable development globally. Sustainable development, which can successfully address the
issue of climate change, should be the model everywhere. The youth, with their knowledge and
awareness building activities, can drive their communities and countries towards a sustainable as
well as peaceful future. Thus the youth can make our planet safe for themselves and for the future
generations as well.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow (Questions 1-5)
Japan’s factory output unexpectedly slipped 0.8 percent in January, the first fall in six months and
the latest red flag for the world’s number economy, official data showed recently. The on-month
figure, which missed market expectations for a 0.4 percent expansion, comes a week after Japan
logged its first trade deficit in almost half a year. A weak yen has helped prop up the economy by
driving exports, but inflation and consumer spending remain weak as cautious firms avoid big pay
hikes. Production of electronics parts and devices expanded in January, lifted by strong demand for
smartphones and other gadgets. But that was offset by a decline in passenger vehicle production.
The data dampen hopes for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s efforts to produce meaningful
growth with a policy blitz.

MBA (Evening)
37th Batch – 2017
It is hard to be a farmer. Cold weather can kill your crops. Weeds can hurt and insects can eat your
crops. Your crops may need more rain than what they get. Fruits and vegetables can go bad before
they are sold. Some people say farmers can fix all of this with GM or genetically modified food.
What is GM food? All living things have DNA. DNA tells living things how to grow. These days,
people can change the DNA that tells food how to grow. When people change the DNA of food it is
called GM food. Some GM food can grow in cold weather. GM food can stop insects from eating it.
One day GM food may feed people who do not have much food. But we still don’t know the risks
GM food poses. Does GM food make people sick, or kill insects we need? We do not know.

Comprehension
Instruction: Read the following paragraph and answer the questions
Demographic dividend is the surge in economic growth that may result from a decline in a country’s
mortality and fertility and the subsequent change in the age structure of the population. This decline
is often accompanied by an increase in average life expectancy, which increases the size of the
working-age population. In other words, it is a boost in economic productivity that occurs when
there are growing numbers of people in the workforce relative to the number of dependents.
Bangladesh has experienced a dramatic decline in fertility and mortality during the last four decades.
During the same period, life expectancy at birth has increased, thereby producing a huge shift in age
structure of the population. Dependents per 100 working population declined from over 100 in 1961
to 60 in 2010. This has created a window of economic opportunity that can be expressed as
demographic dividend of Bangladesh.
Demographic dividend helps to provide an opportunity to improve living standards through
increased capital formulation, savings and investment, female participation in labor force, improved
quality of labor force and increased demand of goods and services. But the opportunity and the
reality are not synonymous. For translating this opportunity into reality, the benefits of
‘demographic dividend’, must not be understood only in terms of additional number of jobs created.
Creation of higher productivity jobs, intermediation of savings of the existing working-age
population for investment in infrastructures and institutions, creation of greater opportunities for
female labor force etc matter here.
It is also important to take into cognizance that this dividend will not last for long as the experience
of other countries has shown. The current bulge in the country’s working-age population will
eventually transform into a bulge in the elderly population within the next one decade or so and an
ageing population scenario will emerge that requires huge resources to look after the needs of the
elderly. Policymakers and social scientists optimistically discuss the demographic dividend as if the
benefits are imminent and within grasp. However, many developing countries, including
Bangladesh, will not be able to achieve this economic benefit without appropriate policies and
substantial investments in a number of areas.

MBA (Evening)

Comprehension
Photography is a series of actions involving light or electromagnetic radiation to record images of

objects on various surfaces. Photography allows people to communicate what is important to them,
helps to preserve history, facilitates communication, enables people to become artists and moves
people in ways that words sometimes cannot. In the 1820s, when the first photographic experiments
began, the field of photography seemed stable and easy to define. A photograph was simply an
image captured on film with a camera, and photographs were described as a means of capturing or
freezing “real life.” However, with the advent of digital photography and graphic design software,
significant changes in the medium began to take place. Methods of capturing images have become
quicker, easier, and more portable. The digital revolution has also made it possible to manipulate
images far beyond their original forms. New methods of sending, posting, sharing, and altering
images through interconnected media have made photography an ever more complicated and
changing field.

MBA (Evening)
39th Batch – 2018
Comprehension
Read the following and answer the questions that follow (Questions 1-5):
The government of Bangladesh has again decided to give funds for recapitalization of state-owned
banks (SoBs) amid criticism from economists about throwing public money ‘down the drain’. The
decision was taken in a meeting recently convened by the Financial Institutions Division of the
Ministry of Finance, which was attended by Managing Directors of SoBs and representatives of
Bangladesh Bank. Until last September, the state-run commercial and specialized banks had a
combined capital shortage of nearly Taka 150 billion, which officials say, has increased to Taka 200
billion by now. The civil society observes that banks are not making any attempt to recover the loans
and the money misappropriated form the banks. The bankers depend on easy money from the public
exchequer without performing their duties properly. The civil society opines that the government
should take a tough stand against these bad practices and instruct the bankers to recover the bad
loans before they can expect any help from the exchequer.

Q. (13 – 16): Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
Raisins are dried grapes that have been eaten for thousands of years. Nearly 3,500 years ago, the
first raisins were discovered as grapes that were drying in the sun on a vine. In medieval Europe,
raisins were used as sweeteners, medicine, and even as a form of money!
In America, raisins were first grown after an 1873 heat wave in California destroyed its valuable
grape crop, leaving only dried, wrinkly, but tasty grapes on the vines. Soon, farmers began
developing seedless grapes in California that were thin-skinned and sweet. These grapes would be
purposely dried in the sun and became the popular dark raisin we eat and enjoy today. Later, a
golden variety of raisin was made by treating grapes with a chemical called sulfur dioxide and suing
special methods to dry them.
Today, central California remains the center of the world’s raisin industry, producing nearly 95
percent of the world’s raisins. Its green valleys, sunny climate, and hot temperatures provide the
perfect conditions for grapes that are dried into raisins.

passage.
A new atomic clock being developed for navigation satellites will perform better than previous
devices. The clock will use a new microwave cavity design to provide a compact and lightweight
package and new electronic techniques to maintain long-term stability. The clock can provide
precise navigation information because it is stable to one second in three million years. The
differences in the time when signals from four satellites arrive at one location can be used to
calculate that position to within a few yards.

Questions (13-15): Read the following passage and answer the questions given below it in the context of
the passage.
Our eyes and ears might be called transformers because they sense the light and sound around us
and turn them into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret. These electrical impulses that have
been transformed by the eye and ears reach the brain and are turned into messages that we can
interpret. For the eye, the process begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the cornea
and lens, and then focuses them on the retina. At the back of each eye, nerve fibers bundle together
to form optic nerves, which join and then split into two optic tracts. Some of the fibers cross, so that
part of the input from the right visual field goes into the left side of the brain, and vice versa. The
process in the ear is carried out through sensory cells that are carried in fluid-filled canals and that
are extremely sensitive to vibration. Sound transformed into electricity travels along nerve fibers in
the auditory nerve. These fibers form a synod neurons that carry the messages to the auditory cortex
on each side of the brain.

Our M.S. Jensen EXPLORER is not an ordinary cruise ship. It was built for the purpose of
exploration. Its shallow draft allows us to explore remote islands not available to other cruise ships.
Inflatable Zodiac rafts will land us on previously inaccessible beaches.
Even though the EXPLORER is relatively small, it still accommodates ninety-two passengers with
all the comforts expected aboard a modern cruising vessel. We have a Lido deck with a swimming
pool, comfortable lounges, and spacious cabins. And although the air is warm, soft and inviting is
these tranquil waters, the ship is fully air-conditioned. Each expedition carries an expert staff of
naturalists, anthropologists, and diving instructors.
