The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
We are given a bar graph that shows the number of permanent workers employed each month from January to May. We are tasked with calculating the difference in the number of permanent workers employed on two specific dates: March 1 and April 1.
From the graph:
- In March (shown as the bar for March), the number of permanent workers employed is 350
- In April (shown as the bar for April), the number of permanent workers employed is 330.
Now, we calculate the difference: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Permanent workers in March} - \text{Permanent workers in April} = 350 - 330 = 20 \] Thus, the difference in the number of permanent workers between March 1 and April 1 is 20.
Hence, the correct answer is \( \boxed{B} \) 20.
- In April (shown as the bar for April), the number of permanent workers employed is 330.
Now, we calculate the difference: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Permanent workers in March} - \text{Permanent workers in April} = 350 - 330 = 20 \] Thus, the difference in the number of permanent workers between March 1 and April 1 is 20.
Hence, the correct answer is \( \boxed{B} \) 20.

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
From the line graph, we can extract the total number of units shipped for the months of January, February, and March:
- Units shipped in January: 15,000
- Units shipped in February: 20,000
- Units shipped in March: 20,000
Now, sum these values:
\[
\text{Total Units Shipped} = 15,000 + 20,000 + 20,000 = 55,000
\]
Thus, the correct answer is (B).

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
From the bar graph, the total number of workers employed in May is 700.
- Number of permanent workers = 400
- Number of temporary workers = 300
Now, calculate the number of women workers:
- 60% of permanent workers are women:
\[
\text{Women in permanent workers} = 60% \times 400 = 240
\]
- 50% of temporary workers are women:
\[
\text{Women in temporary workers} = 50% \times 300 = 150
\]
Now, sum the women workers:
\[
\text{Total women workers} = 240 + 150 = 390
\]
Thus, the correct answer is (C).

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
From the given bar graph:
- Number of temporary workers employed on April 1 = 220
- Number of temporary workers employed on May 1 = 320
Now, we can calculate the percentage increase using the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \times 100
\]
Substitute the values:
\[
\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{320 - 220}{220} \times 100 = \frac{100}{220} \times 100 = 45%
\]
Thus, the number of temporary workers increased by 45%.
Hence, the correct answer is \( \boxed{A} \) 45%.

Amid the sharp rise in NPA, talks of setting up a ‘bad’ bank have been gaining momentum. The government and the RBI are drawing up strategies on how to operationalise such a scheme. The economic survey of 2016-17 pointed out the twin balance sheet problem — stressed companies on one hand and NPA-laden banks on the other — and advocated a centralised Public Sector Asset Rehabilitation Agency (PARA) be established to deal with the bad loans problem.
“Private Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) haven’t proved any more successful than banks in resolving bad debts,” the economic survey had said while proposing the ‘bad’ bank. “But international experience shows that a professionally-run central agency with government backing — while not without its own difficulties — can overcome the difficulties that have impeded progress,” it added.
One challenge private sector ARCs face is that of capital. None of the entities till now has been allowed to tap the capital market for raising funds. Kotak Mahindra Bank, which recently took its board’s approval to raise Rs. 5,300 crore equity said the bank also wanted to capitalise on opportunities in acquisition and resolution of stressed assets in the banking sector including participation in a ‘bad’ bank. Kotak Mahindra Prime and Kotak Mahindra Investments, companies in the Kotak Mahindra Group are sponsors of the asset reconstruction company Phoenix and together own 49% stake in it. “The ARCs are badly capitalised. We see significant opportunity for Kotak in this,” Mr. Kotak said adding the country would need 2-3 well-capitalised ‘bad’ banks. Some central bank as well as government officials also admitted capital was the biggest challenge in setting up a ‘bad’ bank. “At least Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000 crore of capital will be required to set up a bad bank in the initial stages. Where will the money come from?” asked a senior central bank official.- MAT - 2022

E-pharmacies, which operate through websites or smartphone apps on the Internet, offer medicines for sale at a discount of at least 20% when compared to traditional pharmacists, with the added convenience of home delivery of medicines to one’s doorstep. For scheduled drugs, patients can submit photographs of prescriptions while placing orders. Despite operating in India for at least four years now, the legal status of these e-pharmacies is not clear because the government is yet to notify into law draft rules that it published in 2018. The fiercest opponents of e-pharmacies are trade associations of existing pharmacists and chemists. They argue that their livelihoods are threatened by venture capital backed e-pharmacies and that jobs of thousands are on the line. Apart from these obvious arguments, these trade associations also spin imaginary tales of how e-pharmacies will open the door to drug abuse and also the sale of sub-standard or counterfeit drugs, thereby threatening public health. There is enough evidence on record to demonstrate how existing pharmacies contribute generously to drug abuse and sale of sub-standard medicine. There is no reason to suspect that e-pharmacies are going to worsen the situation in anyway. The more prudent way of looking at the entry of e-pharmacies is competition and the resultant effect it will have on lowering the price of medicine for Indian patients. Viewed from this perspective, there is virtually no doubt that e-pharmacies should be allowed to operate because the history of India’s trade associations of pharmacists is one of rampant, unabashed cartelisation that has resulted in an artificial inflation of medicine prices. This practice of two competitors colluding to fix the sale price and area of operation is called cartelisation, and is illegal under India’s Competition Act. The premise of this law is that a free market is efficient only if all sellers are competing with each other to offer the lowest price to the customer.- MAT - 2022

The rapid industrial development in Malaysia has created significant industrial waste pollution problems that need immediate attention. Domestic waste and industrial waste are discharged unto surface water through the sewage systems. In some cases, industrial waste is released directly unto surface water.
On land, the release of industrial waste is closely controlled. However, offshore oil and manganese extraction lead to direct discharge of pollutants into the seas. Radioactive waste is dumped at sea in large concrete barrels to decay. Often, the barrels will start to have defects after a while. Representatives of factories often ship waste onto sea to dump it illegally because it is very expensive to have their water purified. Oil is released into the sea through oil tankers and shipwrecks and pesticides are applied to water to control aquatic pests. Paints on boats will decay during long trips on the ocean and will eventually end up in the water. The effects of pollutants are noticed mostly in small inland seas and lakes. This is because the oceans have a natural dilution system for incoming pollutants whereas lakes have no effective outlet. The pollutants can exist in water in different states. They can be dissolved or they can be in suspension, which means that they exist in the form of droplets or particles. These pollutants can travel farthest when they are in solution in a river that is fast flowing. High-rate microbial processes have been studied in recent years in the attempt to develop cost-effective and yet, full-scale waste treatment technologies. Management of industrial waste is a growing concern in Malaysia. The waste if improperly segregated or disposed off can lead to dangerous results. Therefore, the proper management of such toxic and hazardous waste requires discipline, vigilance and at times, just common sense.- MAT - 2022
