English Language

Directions (1-10): Read the following passage

carefully and answer the questions given below it.

The week gone by induced further pessimism in the

market, as the benchmark indices saw deep cuts amid

concerns over financial health and liquidity crisis in

the NBFC sector, rising oil prices and a fast

weakening rupee. The BSE Sensex dropped 417.95

points, or 1.20 per cent, for the week to settle at

34,315 on Friday, while the Nifty50 tanked 168.95

points, or 1.61 per cent, to end at 10,303. Friday‟s

selloff wiped off Rs 1.60 lakh crore of equity

investors‟ wealth.

Even some solid earnings numbers from blue chip

firms like Reliance Industries NSE -4.34 % and

Infosys failed to lift the mood. Sustained capital

outflow has created a gloomy atmosphere, dealing a

body blow to risk-appetite. Every rise in market is

meeting with a wave of profit-booking. Overseas

investors have pulled out roughly over Rs 20,000

crore from the domestic markets so far in October.

Going into a new week, things do not look any better.

Going by analyst observations, here is a list of factors

that will influence market movement next week. A

perceived liquidity crisis in the non-banking financial

companies (NBFCs) has made investors wary despite

a slew of measures from the government and RBI to

address the issue. After the IL&FS crisis, even the

slightest indication of problem in an NBFC has led to

a selloff. “RBI is trying to inject liquidity, but

confidence needs to be restored in the system to

ensure that it continues to function,”

SudipBandyopadhyay, group chairman,

InditradeBandyopadhyay, group chairman, Inditrade

Capital, said in an interview with ET Now. “If the

liquidity crunch is allowed to continue unabated, it

may lead to solvency issues and that will be

disastrous. We will have to see how that gets handled

over the next 10-15 days,” he said. The efficacy of

RBI‟s decision to relax liquidity norms and allow

more banks lending to NBFCs will be assessed in the

coming days.

October series futures and options will expire on

Thursday and rollover of positions will dominate

proceedings through the week. “Friday's data showed

maximum Put open interest was at 10,000 followed

by 10,200, while maximum Call OI was at 11,000

followed by 10,600,” said ChandanTaparia of

MotilalOswal Securities. “There was meaningful Call

writing at 10,400 followed by 10,600, while Put

writing was seen at 10,200 followed by 10,100. The

option band signified a trading band between 10,200

and 10,500 levels. On Friday, Nifty futures closed in

the negative at 10,314 with a loss of 1.24 per cent,”

he said. F&O rollovers may increase volatility in the

market.

The rupee settled 29 paise higher at 73.32 against the

dollar on Friday, amid selling of the US currency by

exporters and foreign fund inflows. The domestic unit

has been on a bumpy track of late owing to unstable

crude oil prices, a stronger dollar, capital outflow and

rising bond yields in the US. The rupee will remain a

key factor to watch in the coming days.

Crude oil prices rose in international markets on

Friday. Brent crude futures rose 49 cents to settle at

$79.78 a barrel amid a surge in demand in China. The

market is now focussing on US sanctions on Iran,

which will come into force on November 4. Crude

has a direct impact on the rupee‟s health and

ultimately it influences the mood of the market, as

higher crude oil prices raises worries of a spike in

current account deficit and fiscal deficit, distorting

country‟s macroeconomic mathematics. As per RBI

estimates, every $10 a barrel rise in oil price reduces

country‟s GDP growth by around 0.15 per cent.

The earnings season is on in full swing now. ITC,

Asian Paints, Adani Ports, Ambuja Cements, Kotak

Mahindra Bank, YES Bank, Maruti Suzuki,

BhartiAirtel, BhartiInfratel, Wipro, HCL Tech, Bajaj

Auto, Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finserv are among the

heavyweights that will release their September

quarter numbers during the we during the week. The

earnings numbers have been mixed so far. Any

positive surprise should prove a booster dose for the

market.

The European Central Bank (ECB) will announce its

interest rate decision on Thursday amid chaos around

BREXIT. While no change in monetary policy is

expected as of now, the ECB will have to calculate

the risk that BREXIT poses to eurozone economy.

“BREXIT is the big elephant in the room for the euro

area‟s economy. A lot of people are trying to guess

the nitty-gritty of interest rate increases that are still

about a year out, but are ignoring one of the region‟s

key economic risks,” KarstenJunius, chief economist

at Bank J Safra Sarasin in Zurich, told Bloomberg.

The Bank of Japan‟s core CPI will be out on

Tuesday. The US new home sales report for

September will be out on Wednesday. Besides,

markets will closely watch third quarter GDP growth

numbers of the US on Friday. On the same day, data

on US‟s real consumer spending will also be

released. Italian budget will also be in focus this

week.

On the technical charts, the bears appear on the

driver's seat. “As per the weekly timeframe chart,

Nifty has formed a negative candle with a long upper

shadow, which indicates a sharp negative reversal

from the recent highs. The weekly RSI is also

sending out negative signals,” said NagarajShetti,

Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.

Technical indicators still show more scope of

downside, though in between a short bounce cannot

be ruled out. The support for Sensex/Nifty during the

week is seen at 33,350/10,000 and resistance at

35,100/10,550. Bank Nifty would have a range of

24,150-25,860, said Vaishali Parekh, senior technical

analyst at PrabhudasLilladher.

D. When students enroll into an institution in another

country, they are confronted by a new culture, a new

educational system, and different learning and

teaching styles, while their learning styles have been

those imbibed by them in their schooling and early

college days.

B. They need to adapt to a very different teaching,

collegial learning and administrative styles and in a

different culture.

A. For example, while in one culture, students may

not be expected to criticise their teachers, or openly

differ with their fellow students, in another culture,

this may not only be the norm, but even expected

(Hofstede, 1986).

teaching faculty, and administrators in the host

country.

removed from industrial activity such as the Arctic,

demonstrating diffusion and bio accumulation after

only a relatively brief period of widespread use.

A. A much more recently discovered problem is

the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a huge

concentration of plastics, chemical sludge and

other debris which has been collected into a large

area of the Pacific Ocean by the North Pacific Gyre.

C. This is a less well known pollution problem than

the others, but nonetheless has multiple and serious

consequences such as increasing wildlife mortality,

the spread of invasive species and human ingestion of

toxic chemicals

Numbers of persons sit between J and P (when counted from left of J) is the same as the numbers of

persons sits between K and O.

O sits opposite to K. From this statement number of person sits between O and K are equal on both sides.

So in case 2a there are two persons sit between J and P when counted from left of J. If we place two person

between K and O from left of K, then the condition is not satisfied, So case 2a is eliminated.

Now the case 2b becomes,

I is an immediate neighbour of O.

Only three persons sit between I and L.

M sits exactly between I and L.

M is not an immediate neighbour of O.

Not more than four persons sit between M and L. We have two possible cases.

II) 6y2 –y – 7 = 0

6y2 – 7y + 6y – 7 = 0

y(6y - 7) + 1(6y - 7) = 0

(y + 1)(6y -7) = 0

Y = -1, 7/6

100) Answer: e)

I) 8x2 – 49x + 45 = 0

8x2

- 40x – 9x + 45 = 0

8x (x - 5) – 9 (x - 5) = 0

(x - 5) (8x - 9) = 0

X = 5, 9/8

II) 7y2 – 23y + 18 = 0

7y2

– 14y – 9y + 18 = 0

7y (y - 2) – 9(y - 2) = 0

(y - 2)(7y - 9) = 0

Y = 2, 9/7
