Q1s to 2: Read the Passage given below and answer questions

It used to be the American shopper that exemplified the state of the world economy. The focus now
should be on the person on the other side of the till. America’s retail industry is huge: it employs 15.9
Mn workers, who represent one in nine American jobs. It is also undergoing wrenching change, as e-
commerce eats into sales. There is no more pressing test of society’s ability to cope with technology’s
impact on work.

That impact is already visible. For all the benefits that online retailing brings to consumers, it is causing
immense pain to offline rivals. Last year 4,000 American stores closed; this year more than twice that
number may shutter. Standard & Poor’s, a rating agency, expects retail defaults this year to outnumber
those in 2009, at the height of the global recession. Some formats— discount stores, groceries, high-end
malls—will continue to thrive. But many will shrink. The industry has shed 50,000 net jobs since
January. Department stores may need to close more than 800 stores to reach the productivity levels of
2006. Many outlets are looking for ways to cut labour costs by embracing automation.

Q1. This passage is mainly about

A. Those who regularly do their shipping online.
B. Those who run large businesses and retail stores.
C. Those who run smaller retail shops.
D. Those who cannot afford to buy anything in large retail shops.

Answer: Option C
Q2. What is the significant measure that stores are trying to adopt?

A. Diversifying
B. Shutdown business
C. Merging
D. Automation

Answer: Option D

Qs 5 to 9: Read the passage given below and answer questions
Twinkling lights are just visible behind screens where staff are putting the finishing touches to this year’s
Christmas displays, but in other parts of the shop, the lights are still off. John Lewis’s flagship store in
Oxford Street, central London, is bearing the scars of the pandemic.

A restaurant and cafe are closed and there are more staff than customers on the furnishings floor. The
fashion floor is also a depressing sight, with tags flagging big discounts on racks of unwanted dresses
and office wear. Last week it emerged John Lewis had applied for planning permission to convert
entire floors of this shop into office space. It’s not hard to see why.

John Lewis, with its employee ownership and reputation for stellar customer service, still holds a special
place in shoppers’ hearts. But while sister chain Waitrose, along with other supermarkets, has thrived in
the pandemic, results published last week show the department store chain is in deep trouble.Huge
changes in shopper behaviour, which have been accelerated by coronavirus, mean the John Lewis website
is now responsible for 60% of the chain’s sales – up from 30% pre-Covid. This tilt towards the web
means the department stores, as properties, are now deemed to be worth nearly £500 Mn less than before
– a reassessment in last week’s results that sent the group crashing £635 Mn into the red in the first half
of its financial year.

A. More floors converted to office space
B. Putting finishing touches to festive decorations
C. Lights off in parts of the shop

Q8. How do we know that John Lewis had been in prosperous business prior to the COVID
pandemic?

Q5. There are two integer numbers X and Y that are between 0 to 25. User stores the value under a 5
bit number. How many minimum bits are required to store the result of the below expression?

Res=3*(X-Y)
A.8
B.5
C.7
D.8

Answer: Option D

Explanation: If we perform X-Y the possible answers shall be from -75 to 75. In order to store this
we need 8 bits.

Coding
Q1. Selection of MPCS exams include a fitness test which is conducted on ground.There will be a batch
of 3 trainees,appearing for a running test on track for 3 rounds.
You need to record their oxygen level after every round.After trainees are finished with all rounds,
calculate for each trainee his average oxygen level over the 3 rounds and select the one with the
highest average oxygen level as the most fit trainee. If more than one trainee attains the same highest
average level,they all need to be selected. Display the most fit trainee(or trainers) and the highest
average oxygen level.

Note:
1.The oxygen value entered should not be accepted if it is not in the range between 1 and 100. 2.If the
calculated maximum average oxygen value of the trainees is below 70 then declare the trainees as unfit
with meaningful message as “All trainees are unfit”
3.Average oxygen values should be rounded

Example 1:

INPUT Values
95
92
95
92
90
92
90
92
90

OUTPUT Values
Trainee Number: 1
Trainee Number ;3

Note:Input should be 9 integer values representing oxygen levels entered in order as Round

1:
Oxygen value of trainee 1
Oxygen value of trainee 2
Oxygen value of trainee 3

Round 2:
Oxygen value of trainee 1
Oxygen value of trainee 2
Oxygen value of trainee 3

Round 3:
Oxygen value of trainee 1
Oxygen value of trainee 2
Oxygen value of trainee 3

Oxygen must be in given format as in above example.For any wrong input final output should display
“INVALID INPUT”

Solution in C++:
 Q2. There is jar full of candies for sale at a mall counter. JAr has the capacity N, that is JAR can contain
maximum N Candies when JAR is full. At any point of time,JAR can have M number of candies where
M<=N. Candies are served to the customers. JAR is never remaining empty as when last K candidates are
left,JAR is refilled with new candidates in such a way that JAR gets full.
Write the code to implement above scenario.Display JAR at counter with available number of candies.
Input should be number of candies one customer orders at point of time. Update the JAR after every
purchase and display JAR at counter.Output should give number of candies sold and updated number of
candies in JAR. If input is more than number of candies in JAR,return “INVALID INPUT”. Given,
N=10, Where N is number of candies available, K<=5,Where K is number of minimum candies that
must be inside JAR ever.

Example1: (N=10,K=<5)
Input Value
3
Output Values:
Number of Candies Sold: 3
Number of Candies available:7

Solution in C++:
#include <iostream.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n=10, k=5;
int num;
cin>>num;
if(num>=1 && num<=5)
{
cout<< "NUMBER OF CANDIES SOLD : "<<num<<"\n";
cout<<"NUMBER OF CANDIES LEFT : "<<n-num;
}
else
{
cout<<"INVALID INPUT\n";
cout<<"NUMBER OF CANDIES LEFT : "<<n;
}
return 0;
}
