उत्तर

W

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 

 W has a highest value item.

The blind Argentinean librarian and writer Jorge Luis Borges imagined paradise to be a kind of library.

A passage is given below followed by several inferences. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity.
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.

Multiple investment options of similar types helps in making better investment decisions.


Read the following short passages and answer the questions that follow each passage.
lt is not generally realised that when a court upholds or invalidates legislation or executive action, it neither approves nor condemns any legislative policy, nor is if concerned with the wisdom or expediency of the administrative action. lt merely determines whether the legislation or executive action is in conformity with or contrary to the provisions of the Constitution. lt discharges the function of guarding the Constitution, no more, no less. Judicial activism is to be properly understood in the context of the extent and the vigour and the readiness with which the courts exercise their power of judicial review. When courts actively perform an interventionist role, we witness the phenomenon of judicial activism. When the judiciary exercises self-restraint in exercising the power of judicial review and limits its role, there is absence of judicial activism. But the pendulum of judicial review is never static and judicial activism, or lack of it is a variable phenomenon.
Which one of the following, if true, would defeat the case presented above?
