there is an increase of 25% next year, the salary expenditure on maintenance department next year will be 8x 1.25 = 10x (or addition of
2x). If the salary expenditure on all other departments remains unchanged, total addition to salary expenditure next year = Rs. 2x.
Therefore the percent increase in the total salary expenditure next year = 2%.

The collision of four fundamental economic forces urbanization, technology, demographics and globalization is producing monumental
change. Global competition and technological change have sped up creative destruction and outpaced the ability of labour markets to
adapt. Job creation is a critical challenge for most policy makers even as businesses complain about critical skill gaps. Greying
populations are starting to fray social safety nets, and for debt-ridden societies in advanced economies, the challenge can only get more
pressing as the cost of capital starts to rise. Much-needed productivity growth continues to elude the public sector. Income inequality is
rising and causing a backlash, in some cases, targeted at the very interconnections of trade, finance and people that have fuelled the
growth of the past three decades.

Just as many businesses are being forced to reassess their strategy and reimagine their assumptions, the government must do the same.
The political-leadership challenge triggered by these trend breaks is made even more urgent by the growing number of outlets for public
expression and participation. Citizens around the world demand that governments deliver public services in shorter time frames, of
consistent quality, and often at lower cost. In times of tightening budgets, short election cycles and instant feedback loops, the room for
error by public-sector leaders is small. From Brazil to Egypt to Hong Kong to Ukraine, it is common to see large groups of citizens taking
to the streets, impatient for change.

For public-sector officials, often the challenge isnt lack of vision but short time frames, competing priorities, and flawed delivery. Many
governments have risen to the occasion. An Asian country reduced street crime by 35 percent in the first year of a transformation
program. A South American government reduced hospital waiting lists by 80 percent and increased by more than 50 percent the number
of top graduates choosing to become teachers. An emerging-market government introduced a social-security scheme to hundreds of
thousands of workers in two months. In each of these cases, policy makers used what McKinsey calls a Delivery 2.0 approach a welldesigned programme with appropriate metrics, experimental delivery labs, small and high-powered execution teams, visible support from
leaders, and a culture of performance accountability.

The increasing populations of many countries have put a strain on social safety nets.

Countries are grappling with their inability to match skill requirements.
5)

Explanation:

gaps. It can be inferred that countries are unable to meet the skill requirements in businesses. [1] can be negated as political forces are
not mentioned. [2] cannot be inferred as it is a generalization. [3] is incorrect, as the paragraph mentions greying populations (i.e.
increasing proportion of elderly people), not increasing populations. There is no basis to infer [5] in the first paragraph. Hence, [4].

Question: 32
In the late nineties, the AP govt gave a boost to the Pre-engineered Building (PEB) industry by offering a seven year tax holiday and
encouraging it to compete with the more prominent RCC industries across India. Later Uttaranchal in 2005 placed PEBs in the scheduled
list and made the applicable tax five per cent. This resulted in many PEB sales offices working out of Uttaranchal.
Successes in boosting a new market are few and far between in a country like India.

Is the area of circle A larger than that of circle B?
I. The circumference of circle A is greater than that of circle B.
II. The largest chord of circle A is greater than that of circle B.
es

Explanation:
Consider statement I. Sum of all the digits of the number = 3 + 8 + 4 + 12 = 27. Since 27 is divisible by 9, therefore the number is divisible
by 9. Therefore, this statement is sufficient to answer the question.
Consider statement II. Since xyz = 315 = 5 7 9, the values of x, y and z will be 5, 7 and 9 (in no particular order). Therefore, the sum of
all the digits will be 3 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 36. Since 36 is divisible by 9, therefore the number is divisible by 9. Therefore, this statement is
sufficient to answer the question.
Hence, [3].

answer the question.
Hence, [3].

radius cannot be determined. Therefore, this statement is not sufficient to answer the question.
Consider statement II. For the decrease in water level, we know the volume and the value of the height of water level drop. Thus, using
the formula of volume of a cylinder, the radius can be determined. Therefore, this statement is sufficient to answer the question. Hence,

negated on this basis. Since [2] and [3] do not have the modal verb, they can be negated. Since the statement is a strong one, asserted
makes more sense as the reporting verb than felt. So, [4] can be ruled out, and only [5] converts the direct speech into indirect speech
correctly. Hence, [5].

Explanation:
The code for each letter is the letter of the alphabet at the position equal to twice the position of the given letter. For example, B is the 2nd
letter of the alphabet. Twice of 2 is 4. D is the 4th letter of the alphabet. Therefore the code of B is D. Similarly other codes are arrived at. If
the product exceeds 26, position of the code is equal to the product minus 26. For example, R is 18th letter. Twice of R is 36. Therefore
the position of the code is 10th in the alphabet (J).
MOUSE are 13th, 15th, 21st, 19th and 5th letters of the alphabet. Therefore the positions of their codes are 26th, 4th, 16th, 12th and 10th or

To convert a sentence in active voice into passive voice, the object in the active voice is moved to the subject position. While [1], [3] and
[4] follow this rule, [3] uses the wrong form of the verb (were) and [4] uses the singular form scientist. [2] and [5] can be negated as they

II. D sits 2 benches to the right of A, who sits on an odd-numbered bench.

Explanation:

From statement I, C sits on an even-numbered bench, so he can sit on the 4th or 6th bench (as bench 2 is vacant). Also, since D sits on a
bench to the immediate left of C, C can sit only on the 4th bench as the 5th bench is vacant. So, D sits on the 3rd bench. Statement I
alone is sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II, as the 5th bench is unoccupied, neither A nor D can sit on the 5th bench. So, the only possible combination for A and D
is to sit on the 1st and 3rd benches respectively. Statement II alone can answer the question.
Therefore, either statement alone can answer the question independently.
