उत्तर

Camera

Explanation:

First we will arrange the given information as  shown below:   
has 2 chessboards + 1 record player   
 Cost = 2 × 500 + 1 × 2000   
= 3000 (at the beginning)   
After transaction he has only 1 cycle and 1 chessboard   
 Total Cost = 1000 + 500 = 1500   
So, loss of X = 1500   
Z has 1 cycle + 1 walkman   
 Cost = 1000 + 700 = 1700     (at the beginning)   
After transaction he has only 1 bat and 1 chessboard and 1  camera 
 Total cost = 1 bat + 1 chessboard + 1 camera = 700 + 500  + 1500 = 2700   
 Profit = 1000   
Y has 3 bats   
∴ Total cost = 3 × 700 = 2100 (at the beginning)   
After transaction he has only 1 record player and 1 bat   
 Total cost = 2000 + 700 = 2700   
 Profit of Y = 600   
W has 2 cameras   
Cost = 5000 (at the beginning)   
After transaction he has only 1 bat, 1 camera and 1 walkman   
 Total cost = 1 bat + 1 camera + 1 Walkman   
= 700 + 3500 + 700 = 4900   
 Loss = 100 

Camera faced the highest exchange value in percentage term.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:

The blind Argentinean librarian and writer Jorge Luis Borges imagined paradise to be a kind of library. At the turn of the century, a lot of us were concerned about the future of books with digital publishing becoming the norm of the day. But people continue to read books, whether as a bound copy or as e-books on their handheld readers or tabs. What has changed perhaps is the drive to read, or rather the motivation. The relevance of the subject matter now impacts the reading contours of the people.

Which of the following statements is consistent with the reading pattern of people that have been discussed by the author?


Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:

When we corked open the champagne on January 1, 2010, we believed technology was a force leading us to a digitally enabled Promised Land. In the bright future that beckoned, all the world’s knowledge would be at everyone’s fingertips and 1984 would be just another book on the shelf rather than one that should be re-read for its cautionary tale of modern tyranny. Fast-forward as we ready to uncork the champagne once again, this time to greet the Roaring ’20s and even more disruption than we saw in the teen decade lies ahead. Quick-fire technological change has opened up whole new landscapes and minefields. Back in the early days of the past decade, we still thought we’d shape technology. Right now, though, that’s not happened and you’re happily working from home as you can be “virtually” in touch with your office 24x7. With the help of data mining, information has become freely accessible.

Out of the following options, which one is the most appropriate logical corollary to the given passage?


Direction: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:

With that deadline now a decade away, the world is set to miss most of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Just two of them — eliminating preventable deaths among newborns and under-fives and getting children into primary schools — are closest among all the goals of being achieved. By contrast, the goal to eliminate extreme poverty will not be met because some 430 million people are expected still to be living in such conditions in 2030. Targets to end hunger and to protect climate and biodiversity are completely off track. Whereas some of the richer countries are making a degree of progress in the SDGs overall, two-thirds of poorer ones are not expected to meet those that relate even to their most basic needs.

What can be concluded from the above?

Investors today have more investment options than were available just a few years ago. Choice in any decision-making is good in so far it provides variety, differentiation and benchmarking. lt could also, however, at times lead to clutter and "noise" if the options are mostly similar and undifferentiated. To make sense of this choice conundrum, it is imperative for an investor to define objective - both returns and digestible risk and then identify the possible options. The investor also needs to select the mix and regularly monitor that objectives and investment outcomes remain aligned. Sounds simple, but can present the most confounding situation which multiplies with the quantum of wealth.
In the past, investors were generally guided by fund managers.
