Top Questions on Staffing
- The rapid changes having taken place in the society have created pressure on organisations to readapt its products, type of jobs required and type of skills necessary to complete these jobs. To keep up pace with the rapid changes in the business environment, ‘Suzon cars’, a company manufacturing automobiles for the last thirty years decided to start manufacturing electric cars with Artificial Intelligence technology. With the introduction of Artificial Intelligence, the company had to improve the knowledge and skills of its employees. They wanted that all their employees improve their performance on the current job and are prepared for any intended job in future. This way they would not only be able to increase their knowledge and skills but would also improve their performance. By doing this, the organisation too would get various benefits.

- Vibhas recently joined as a Human Resource Manager of ‘Bajanta Enterprises’. The company had embarked on a special project for which Vibhas had appointed twenty new employees. After the employees underwent on-the-job training for a month and had been on the job for some time, there was a need to evaluate their performance against certain pre-determined standards. Not only this, ‘Bajanta Enterprises’ had to address the career related issues and promotional avenues for their employees. Vibhas was designing activities to serve their employees’ long-term interests. By doing this, ‘Bajanta Enterprises’ had completed the two important steps of staffing process. Identify and explain those steps.

Three friends A, B, and C move out from the same location O at the same time in three different directions to reach their destinations. They move out on straight paths and decide that A and B after reaching their destinations will meet up with C at his pre-decided destination, following straight paths from A to C and B to C in such a way that \( \overrightarrow{OA} = \hat{i}, \overrightarrow{OB} = \hat{j} \), and \( \overrightarrow{OC} = 5 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} \), respectively.
Based upon the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Complete the given figure to explain their entire movement plan along the respective vectors.}
(ii) Find vectors \( \overrightarrow{AC} \) and \( \overrightarrow{BC} \).}
(iii) (a) If \( \overrightarrow{a} = 2 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k} \), distance of O to A is 1 km, and from O to B is 2 km, then find the angle between \( \overrightarrow{OA} \) and \( \overrightarrow{OB} \). Also, find \( | \overrightarrow{a} \times \overrightarrow{b} | \).}
(iii) (b) If \( \overrightarrow{a} = 2 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k} \), find a unit vector perpendicular to \( (\overrightarrow{a} + \overrightarrow{b}) \) and \( (\overrightarrow{a} - \overrightarrow{b}) \).- A woman discovered a scratch along a straight line on a circular table top of radius 8 cm. She divided the table top into 4 equal quadrants and discovered the scratch passing through the origin inclined at an angle \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) anticlockwise along the positive direction of x-axis. Find the area of the region enclosed by the x-axis, the scratch and the circular table top in the first quadrant, using integration.
