English Comprehension Questions for LIC ADO 2015 Exam

Directions (Q.1-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them.

As financial markets worldwide tumbled over concerns that Greece would default on its debt to the troika comprising the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the people of Greece were being presented with a Hobson’s choice by its government led by the leftist party platform, Syriza. In the midst of intense negotiations with representatives of the troika over rolling over debt payments, the Syriza government sought to extend the deadline for payments in order to allow it to put the conditionalities of the troika for a bailout extension to a referendum vote. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has denied that this referendum, scheduled for July 5, is on whether or not to continue within the eurozone; he says it is only on the acceptance of the troika’s demands. But with the troika unrelenting on the June 30 deadline for repayment of debts to the IMF, and Greece being in no position to pay, the referendum could more or less be on remaining in the eurozone. This presents a difficult choice for the people of Greece. After all, the Syriza was voted to power in January 2015 precisely on the promise of halting the programme of austerity imposed by creditors that has resulted in a drastic contraction of Greece’s economy and increase in unemployment. Yet, the mandate was also for negotiations to remain within the eurozone as Greek voters had realised that the Grexit would mean too much pain (at least in the near term) due to capital flight, a run on the banks and other troubles in returning to the drachma as currency. Over the past five months, Syriza representatives, true to their mandate, have sought to alter Greece’s terms of engagement with its creditors, seeking debt relief that would allow fiscal expansionary policies to spur the economy. Yet, the troika’s response has been to stonewall the proposals and instead push Greece to further the austerity measures it has pursued following the first major bailout in 2010 and another in 2012. The troika’s reasoning is simple: tolerating a Greek default would amount to sending signals to other creditor-nations about similar leniency. Instead, the troika has merely offered a five-month extension of Greece’s bailout programme with fresh funds but with persisting austerity conditions. With barely a concession to the Greek position, there remains a wide gap between the Greek people’s expectations and the EU recommendations. With Greece already having to impose capital controls and bank holidays to avoid further capital flight — measures that were supposed to be taken in the event of an exit from the EU — it begs the question whether the Grexit is inevitable.

Explanation :

1. (c) 22 days
Let the total work be 200 work
Efficiency of
A = 200/50 = 4 work/day
B = 200/40 = 5 work/day
A+B’s efficiency = 9/day
A+B’s 10 days work = 9*10 = 90
Remaining work = 200-90 = 110
Time taken by B alone to finish the remaining wrk = 110/5 = 22days

2. (b) 6(2/3) days
M1D1H1/E1W2 = M2D2H2/E2W1 (From MDH Rule)
Efficinecy of first grp : 2nd grp = 2*2 :4*1 = 1:1
Now, D2 = M1D1H1E1W2 / M2H2E2W1
D2 = 30*4*10*1*2 / 45*8*1*1
D2 = 20/3 = 6(2/3) days

3. (c) 9 Hours
Let A+B together takes X hours
A will take X+27 hrs
B will take X+3 hrs
Let the total work be (X+27)(X+3)
Efficiency of A= X+3
B = X+27
Total efficiency = 2X+30
Time working together = (X+27)(X+3) / 2X+30 = X
X^2 +30X + 81 = 2X^2 + 30X
or, X^2 = 81 or X= 9 hrs (neglecting –Ve time )

4. (b) 16, 48 and 24 days respectively
Let the total work be 48
Efficiency of
A+B = 4/day…… (i)
B+C = 3/day……..(ii)
Now, A works for 5 days, B works for 7 days and C works for 13 days and completes the total work of 48.
This can be rewritten as
A+B for 5 days + B+C for 2 days + C for 11 days completes the total work of 48
Now, A+B’s 5 days work = 20
B+C’s 2 days work = 6
Therefore, 20+6+ C’s 11 days work = 48
C’s 11 days work = 48-26 = 22
C’s efficiency = 2/day.. (iii)
From (i),(ii),(iii)
C’s efficiency = 2
B’s Efficiency = 1
A’s efficiency = 3
Time taken by
A= 16 days, B= 48 days, and C= 24 days

5. (e) None of these (6:30PM)
Let the total work be 24
Efficiency of Ganga = 24/8 = 3/hr
Efficiency of Jamuna= 24/12 = 2/hr
They work alternately starting from Ganga
First 2 hrs work = 3+2 = 5
First 8 hrs work = 20
Remaining = 24-20 = 4
9th hr work to be done by Ganga = 3
Remaining work = 4-3 = 1 to be done by Jamuna in 1/2 hr.
Total time = 8+1+(1/2) hrs = 9.5 hrs or 9 Hr 30 minutes
So work will be completed by 9AM + 9 hrs 30 minutes = 18 hrs 30 minutes or 6:30 PM

6. (d) 27 Days
Let the total work be 108 (Common Multiple of 12,36 and 54)
Efficiency of A+B+C =108/12= 9,
of A alone = 108/36 = 3 and
of B alone = 108/54 = 2
Therefore of C alone = 9-(3+2) = 4
Time taken by C = 108/4 = 27 days

7. (a) 9 Days
Let the total work be 36 ( Can take any value Preferably Common Multiple )
Efficiency of
A+B+C = 36/4 = 9
A alone= 36/12 = 3
B alone = 36/18 = 2
C alone = A+B+C- (A+B) = 9-(3+2) = 4
Time taken by C alone = 36/4 = 9 days

8. (e) None of these (20 days)
Let the total work be 140
Efficiency of A = 4
Efficiency of B = 5
A works for 10 days = 4*10 = 40
Remaining work = 140-40 = 100 to be done by B
B will do it in 100/5 = 20 days

9. (b) 15 days
Let the total work be 72
Efficiency of A = 3 and Of B = 4
A’s 4 days work = 3*4 = 12 remaining work = 72 -12 = 60
Work completed by B in 60/4 = 15 days

10. (a) 9 days
Let the total work be 24
Efficiency of A+B = 4
Efficiency of B = 3
Efficiency of A = 1 as A+B = 4 and B= 3
Work done by B in 5 day = 3*5 = 15
Remaining work = 24-15 = 9
Remaining work to be done by A in 9/1 = 9 days

11. (c) 14 days
Let the total work be 60
Efficiency of A = 3 and of B = 2
Efficiency of A+B = 3+2 = 5
Suppose B never left the work then if the time taken remains same then work done by B in those 5 days will be added to original work.
Therefore, Now, works become = 60 + B’s 5 days work = 60+10 = 70
Time taken = 70/5 = 14 days

Other way :- B leaves the work 5 days before means A did work alone for that 5 days
Work Done by A in that 5 day = 5/20 = 1/4
Remaining work = 3/4
To complete the work together A+B would have taken 1/ (1/20+ 1/30) = 600/50 = 12 days
3/4th of the work together will be completed in 12*3/4 = 9 days
Total time = 5+9 = 14 days

12. (a) Required Time = 1/(1/45+1/36)= 20 hour

13. (a) 1/6+ 1/B= 1/10
So B = -60/4 =-15
So b will empty the tank in 15 hour

14. (a) Total Time = 1/(1/10 + 1/12-1/15)= 8.5 hour

15. (a) Pipe B will work for 36 min.
