Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Certain words/ phrases are given in bold to
help you locate them while ‘answering some of the questions.
Inequality is at the top of the agenda around the world. Hilary Clinton, the leading Democratic candidate to
succeed Barack Obama as president of the United. States, made inequality the centrepiece of a major
campaign speech. Economists at the IMF too have recently released a study assessing the causes and
consequences of rising inequality. Its authors reckon that while inequality could cause all sorts of problems,
governments should be especially concerned about its effects on growth. They estimate that a one percentage
.point increase in the income share of the top 20% will drag down growth by 0.08% percentage points over five
years, while a rise in the income share of the bottom 20% actually boosts growth. But how does inequality
affect economic growth rates? Economists say that some inequality is needed to propel growth. Without the
carrot of large financial rewards, risky entrepreneurship and innovation would grind to a halt. In 1975, an
American economist, argued that societies cannot have both perfect equality and perfect efficiency, but must
choose how much of one to sacrifice for the other. While most economists continue to hold that view, the
recent rise in inequality has prompted a new look at its economic costs. Inequality could impair growth if those
with low incomes suffer poor health and low productivity as a result, or if, as evidence suggests, the poor
struggle to finance investments in education, inequality could also threaten public confidence in growth-
boosting capitalist strategies like free trade. More recent work suggests that inequality, could lead to economic
or financial instability. The governor of the Reserve Bank of India argued that governments often respond to
inequality by easing the flow of credit to poorer households, howe+er, American households borrowed heavily
prior to the crisis to prop up their consumption. But for this rise in household debt, consumption would have
stagnated as a result of poor wage growth. Crafting a response to rising inequality is therefore tricky, he says.
Some of the negative impact of inequality on growth can be blamed on poor government policies in highly
unequal countries. In Latin America, for instance, populist pressure for excessive state economic control seems
to shorten the average duration of growth spells. Yet in moderation, redistribution seems to benign effects-
perhaps by reducing dependence on risky borrowing among poorer households. Over the past generation or
two inequality has risen most in places where progressive policies, such as high top tax-rates, have been
weakened. A little more redistribution now might improve the quality and quantity of economic-growth and
reduce the demand for more aggressive state interventions later.

42. B
Let A had Rs.400x initially.
He gave 25% of Rs.400x = Rs.100x to B.
B spent, 30% of Rs.100x = Rs.30x on dinner.
Remaining amount with B = Rs.100x - Rs.30x = Rs.70x.
Amount B kept on savings : spent on book = 5 : 2.
5
Amount that B saved = × 70x = Rs.50x
7

Amount spent on book = Rs.20x.


Given, 20x = 460 => x = 23.
Therefore, Amount present with A initially = Rs.400x = Rs.400×23 = Rs.9200.

let the cost of per kg rice be Rs y
Let the amount of rice sold at 15% profit be m kg and so the rice sold at 20% loss be (600-m)kg
selling price of m kg rice which is sold at profit = 1.15y per kg × m
Selling price of (600-m) kg rice at 20% loss = 0.8y × (600-m)
Over all loss is = 6%

Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 34/56


So,1.15my + 480y - 0.8my = 0.94×600y= 564y

m = 240 kg
So amount of rice sold at 20% loss = 600-240 = 360 kg

let the amount of grape juice ,pineapple juice and banana juice in vessel be 4y ,6y,5y respectively
Now when we removed 15 ltr from vessel the juice will be removed in their given ratio i.e 4 ltr of grape juice will
be removed and 6 ltrs of pineapple will be removed and 5 ltrs of banana juice will be removed and hence new
quantities are
Grape juice = 4y-4
Pineapple juuce = 6y- 6
Banana juice = 5y- 5
Niw 8 ltrs of grape juuce is added and 2 ltrs of pineapple juice is added so new quantities of Juices in vessel
are
Grape juice = 4y+4
Pineapple juuce = 6y-4
It is given that grape juice amount is 10 ltrs less than pineapple juice quantity .
So
6y-4 - 4y-4 = 10
2y= 18
y= 9
Initial quantity in vessel = 15 y = 15×9=135 ltrs

b/b+6 =4/5
Thus b= 24

Volume of a cylinder=π × r2 × h
where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder.

Curved Surface Area of Cylinder=2 × π × r × h=352m2
π × r × h=176

Replacing π × r × h in Volume formula we get,
r × 176=616
r = 3.5m
Total Surface Area = Curved Surface Area + 2× Area of base

No. of appeared candidates in 2011 = 700+280 = 980

Reasoning
Explanation [66 - 68]:
Here,
S>R and T>S thus T>S>R.
P>U as P has stayed for more number of days than only U, which makes P second last and U last in terms of
number of days spent.
Now,
T>S>R>P>U which leaves us with Q, which leads to :-
Q>T>S>R>P>U. (T has not spent the most number of days)
66. D
The person who has spent second most days, i.e. T has spent 47 days.
S has spent 15 days less than T, i.e. 32.

Now, the person who has spent second least days, i.e. P has spent 15 days.

Thus R has spent less than 32 days and more than 15 days :-
32>R>15
The only option satisfying this is (D).

67. B
p>The person who has spent second most days is T.
Hence answer is option (B).

J is the daughter of Q's sister, => J is the niece of Q

Q is the sister of T, who is mother of D. T has only 1 son while D is brother of J, => J is daughter of T.
J is married to M having a daughter, Y.
The flow chart will be :
where, (m) represents male
(f) represents female

Y is the daughter of J, who is daughter of T, => Y is grand daughter of T.


Ans - (E)
71. D
C<R<E<A=M;Y>E
From this statement, we can see that M is greater than R. Hence, conclusion I is true.
Now Y > E and A > E. Hence, we cannot compare A and Y. Thus, II is not valid.
72. E
We see that C < E and E < Y. Thus, C < Y. Thus conclusion II follows.
74. D
From the given statements,
L > J and M > L. Hence, we can conclude that M > J. Only I is true.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Let consider one possibility as shown in the diagram below -

Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 41/56


From this we see that, some delta being soil is a possible. Hence conclusion 1 does not follow.
Also, we can see that some grounds being deltas is possible. Hence conclusion 2 can be followed.
Hence, option E is the right choice.
82. C
The venn diagram for above statements is :

Conclusions :
I. At least some soils are deltas = false
II. All basins are soils = false
Thus, neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows.
=> Ans - (C)
83. A
As no decision is a verdict, any subset of decision will also not overlap with the set verdict. Hence, no policy is a
verdict or no verdict is a policy. Hence, Conclusion II follows from the statements.
As no information has been given about the overlap between the sets results and policies, all results being
policies is a possibility. Hence, even Conclusion I follows.
84. B

from the above statement and figures we can say that either phones will be machines or no phones will be
machine, both are the possibilities and hence either of the conclusion can be followed.
85. D
As Autumn is a subset of Falls, and Autumns intersects Winters, Falls also intersects Winters. Hence,
conclusion I follows.
From the diagram, we can see one situation where conclusion 2 is not true. Hence, conclusion II does not
follow.
