The ratio of the area of PQY to the area of rectangle WXYZ is:________________ A. 1/7 B. 1/6 C. 1/8 D. 1/16 3 How many quadrilaterals can be formed by joining the vertices of an octagon?________________ A. 40 B. 50 C. 70 D. 20 4 Answer the questions 4 & 5 on the basis of the information given below. The following pie chart provides information about the marks obtained by six students A, B, C, D, E and F, in four different subjects P, Q, R and S. The marks obtained by each of the students in subject P is indexed to the maximum marks that can be obtained in subject P. This holds true for the other three subjects as well. For example, if the maximum marks that can be obtained in subject P is ' 40k ', then the marks obtained in subject P by student A is 15k, by student B is 20k and so on. This holds true for the marks obtained by the students in the other three subjects as well. The marks obtained by A in subject P is not less than that obtained by him in subject Q or subject R, but not more than that obtained by him in subject S. This holds true for the marks obtained by each of the other 5 students as well. If the marks obtained by A in subjects Q and R is the same, then the maximum marks that can be obtained in subject Q as a percentage of the maximum marks that can be obtained in subject R is: (click on image to zoom it)________________ A. 50/3 B. 250/3 C. 100/3 D. 20 5 Answer the questions 4 & 5 on the basis of the information given below.

Peter Senge and Goran Carlstadt see this development as laudable but suggest that simply adopting eco-efficiency innovations could actually worsen environmental stresses in the future, such innovations reduce production waste but do not alter the number of products manufactured nor the waste companies invest in eco-efficiency improvements in order to increase profits and growth. Moreover, there is no guarantee the increased economic growth from eco-efficiency will come in similarly ecoefficient ways, since in today's global markets, greater profits may be turned into investment capital that could easily be reinvested in old style eco-inefficient industries. Even a vastly more eco-efficient industrial system could, were it to grow much larger, generate more total waste and destroy more habitat and species than would a smaller, less eco-efficient economy. Senge and Carlstadt argue that to preserve the global environment and sustain economic growth, businesses must develop a new systematic approach that reduces total material use and total accumulated waste. Focusing exclusively on eco-efficiency, (which offers a compelling business case according to established thinking) may distract companies from pursuing radically different products and business models. The primary purpose of the passage is to:________________ A. Explain why a particular business strategy has been less successful than was once anticipated. B. Propose an alternative to a particular business strategy that has inadvertently caused ecological damage. C. Present a concern about the possible consequences of pursuing a particular business strategy. D. Make a case for applying a particular business strategy on a large scale than is currently practiced. 51 Read the passage given below and answer the questions 50-52: Eco-efficiency (measures to minimize environmental impact through the reduction or elimination of waste from production processes) has become a goal for companies worldwide, with many realizing significant cost savings from such innovation.

The companies may be able to sell a greater number of products by lowering prices. B. The companies may be better be reinvested to increase economic growth through eco-efficiency. C. The profits may be used as investment capital for industries that are not eco-efficient. D.

The passage implies that which of the following is a possible consequence of a company's adoption of innovations that increase its ecoefficiency?________________ A. Company profits resulting from such innovations may be reinvested in that company with no guarantee that the company will continue to make further improvements in eco-efficiency. B. Company growth fostered by cost savings from such innovations may allow that company to manufacture a greater number of products that will be used and discarded, thus worsening environmental stress. C. A company that fails to realize significant cost savings from such innovations may have little incentive to continue to minimize the environment impact of its production processes. D. A company that meets its eco-efficiency goals is unlikely to invest its increased profits in the development of new and innovative eco-efficiency measures. 53 Consider the following given four choices and identify the odd one out.________________ A.
