SECTION -1 Directions for questions 1 to 12: Read the three passages carefully and answer the questions given at the end of ‘each passage: Passag ‘We now come to the second part of our journey under the sea. The first ended with the moving scene in the coral cemetery which left a deep impression on my mind. I could no longer content myself with the theory which satisfied Counsel. That worthy fellow persisted in seeing in the Commander of the Nautilus one of those unknown servants who return mankind contempt for indifference. For him, he was a misunderstood genius who, tired of earth's deceptions, had taken refuge i this inacoessible medium, where he might folow his instincts freely. To my mind, this explains but one side of Captain Nemo's character. Indeed, the mystery of that last night during which we had been chained in prison, the sleep, and the precaution so violently taken by the Captain of snatching from my eyes the glass | had raised to ‘sweep the horizon, the mortal wound of the man, due to an unaccountable shock of the Nautlus, all put me on anew track. No; Captain Nemo was not satisied with shunning man. His formidable apparatus not only suited his instinct of freedom, but perhaps also the design of some terrible retaliation. Thal day, at noon, the second olficer came to take the altitude of the sun. | mounted the platform, and watched the ‘operation. As he was taking observations with the sextant, one of the sailors of the Nautilus (the strong man who had ‘accompanied us on our frst submarine excursion of the Island of Crespo) came to clean the glasses of the lantern. | ‘examined the ftings of the apparatus, the strength of which was increased a hundrediold by lenticular rings, placed similar to those in a lighthouse, and which projected their briliance in a horizontal plane. The electric lamp was combined in such a way as to give its most powerful light. Indeed, it was produce in vacuo, which insured both its steadiness and its intensity. This vacuum economized the graphite points between which the luminous arc was developed — an important point of economy for Captain Nemo, who could not easily have replaced them; and under these conditions their waste was imperceptible. When the Nautilus was ready to continue its submarine journey, | went down to the saloon, The panel was closed, and the course marked direct west. We were furrowing the waters of the Indian Ocean, a vast liquid plain, with a surface of 1,200,000,000 of acres and whose waters are so clear and traneparent that any one leaning over them would tum giddy. The Nautilus usually floated between fity and a hundred fathoms deep. We went on so for some days. To anyone but myself, who had a {great love for the sea, the hours would nave seemed long and monotonous; but the daily walks on the platform, when | ‘looped myseltin the reviving air of the ooean, the sight ofthe rich waters through the windows ef the ealoan, the books: inthe library, the compiling of my memoirs, took up all my time, and left me not a moment of ennui or weariness. From the 21" to the 23" of January the Nautilus went at the rate of two hundred and fity leagues in twenty-four hours, being five hundred and forty miles, or twenty-two miles an hour. If we eecognized so many diferent varieties of fish, it was because, altracted by the electric light, they tried to follow us; the greater part, however, were soon distanced by ‘our speed, though some kept their place in the waters of the Nautius fora time, The morning of the 24", we observed Keeling Isiand, a coral formation, planted with magnificent cocos, and which had been visited by Mr. Darwin and Captain Fitzroy. The Nutilus skirted the shores of this desert island for alte distance. Soon Keeling Island disappeared {rom the horizon, and our course was directed to the north-west in the direction of the indian Peninsula, From Keeling Island our course was siower and more variable, often taking us into great depths. Several times they ‘made use of the inclined planes, with certain intemal levers placed obliquely to the waterline. | observed that in the ‘upper regions the water was always colder in the high levels than at the surface of the sea. On the 25" of January the ‘ocean was entirely deserted; the Nautilus passed the day on the surface, beating the waves with its powerful screw and ‘making them rebound to a great height. Three parts of this day | spent on the platform. | watched the sea. Nothing on the horizon, till about four 0 clock a steamer running west on our counter. Her masts were visible for an instant, but she could not see the Nautilus, being too low in the water. | fancied this steamboat belonged to the P.O. Company, which uns trom Ceylon to Sydney, touching at King George's Point and Melbourne. {At five o'elock in the evening before that fleeting twilight which binds night to day in trpioal zones, Conseil and | were astonished by 2 curious spectacle. It was a shoal of Argonauts traveling along on the surface of the ocean. We could count several hundreds. These graceful molluses moved backwards by means of their locomotive tube, through which they propelled the water already drawn in. Of their eight tentacles, six were elongated, and stretched out floating on the water, whilst the other two, rolled up flat, were spread to the wing lke a light sail, | saw their spiralshaped and fluted shells, which Cuvier justly compares to an elegant skif, For nearly an hour the Nautilus floated in the midst ofthis shoal of molluses, ‘The next day, 26" of January, we cut the equator at the eighty-second meridian and entered the northem hemisphere. During the cay a formidable troop of sharks accompanied us. They were ‘cestracio philip" sharks, with brown backs and whitish belies, armed with eleven rows of teeth, their throat being marked with a large black spot surrounded with ‘white like an eye. There were also some Isabella sharks, with rounded snouts marked with dark spots. These powerful Creatures often huried themselves at the windows ofthe saloon with such violence as to make us feel very insecure. But the Nautilus, accelerating her speed, easly left the most rapid of them behind. ‘About seven o'clock in the evening, the Nautilus, hall-mmersed, was saling in a sea of milk At frst sight the ocean ‘seemed lactifed.

The whole sky, though it by the sidereal rays, seemed black by contrast with the whiteness of the waters. Conseil could not believe his eyes, and questioned me as to the cause of this strange phenomenon. Happily | was able to answer him. itis called a mik sea, these parts of the sea’ 1 explained. “A large extent of white wavelets often to be seen on the coasts of Ambayna, and in “But sr, said Conseil, “can you tell me wha causes such an effect? For | suppose the water is nat really tumed into ik” “No, my boy, and the whiteness which surprises you is caused only by the presence of myriads of luminous litle worm, gelatinous and without colour, of the thickness of a hai and whose length is not more than seven-thousandths of an inch. These insects adhere to one another sometimes for several leagues” “Several leagues!” exclaimed Conseil "Yes, my boy; and you need not try to compute the number of these infusoria. You will not be able, for, if | am not mistaken, ships have floated on these milk seas for more than forty miles" Towards midnight the sea suddenly resumed its usual colour; but behind us, even to the limits of the horizon, the sky rotlected the whitenec waves, and for a long time seemed impregnated with the vague glimmerings of an aurora borealis, Find the TRUE Sentence : (A) According to the narrator, the above-mentioned joumey was taking place during full moon period. (®) According to Conseil, the Captain of the Nautilus in which they were traveling was really ‘a briliant porson, a fact which had been corroborated by many people. Its implied in the passage that although the author was witnessing many interesting events during their journey, he was not always having his way. From the chronicle, it is understood that the Neutius was inthe vicinity of the Island of Crespo on the 26” of January. Explanation: The eighth para talks of the moon being soarcely two days old (new moon phase) so, statement (A) is false. Only Conseil considered the captain a really brillant person. This was not corroborated by many people as suggested in statement (B). The passage {does nat mention that the Nautilus was in the vicinity Of island of Crespo on 25” of January. The fith para which gives details of what happened on 26" January makes no reference to this island. We can infer that the author witnessed many interesting events during joumey.

It also meant maximizing every strength we had in order to boost our profit margins. In reexamining the direct model, we realized that inventory ‘management was not just a core strength; it could be an incredible opportunity for us, and one that had not yet been discovered by any of our competitors. In version 1.0 of the direct modal, we eliminated the reseller, thereby eliminating the markup and the cost of maintaining a store. In Version 1.1, we went on step further to reduce inventory inefficiencies. Traditionally, a long chain of partners \vas involved in getting a product to the customer. Let's say you have a factory building a PC well call model #4000. ‘The system is then sent to the distributor, who sends it to the warehouse, which sends it to the dealer, who eventually pushes it on to the consumer by advertising, “ve got model #4000. Come and buy, i." the consumer says, "But | want ‘model #8000," the dealer replies, “Sorry, | only have mode! #4000.” Meanwhile the factory keeps building model #40008 {and pushing the inventory into the channel. ‘The results glut of model #4000s that nobody wants. Inevitably, someone ends up with too much inentory, and you see big price corrections, The retailer can't sell i al the suggested retail price, so the manufacturer loses money on price protection (a practice common in our industry of compensating dealers for reductions in suggested selling price). ‘Companies with long, multi-step distribution systems will often til their distrbution channels with products in an attempt to clear out older technologies or meet their financial targets. This dangerous and inefficient practice is called ‘channel stuffing’, Worst of all, he customer ends up paying for itby purchasing systems that are already out of date. Because we were building direcly to fil our customers’ order, we didn't have finished goods inventory devaluing on a daily basis. Becauso wo aligned our supplirs to deliver components as we used them, we were ablo to minimize raw ‘material inventory. Reductions in component costs could be passed on to our customers quickly, which made them hhappier and improved our competitive advantage. It also allowed us to deliver the latest technology to our customers, faster than our competitors. ‘The direct model turns conventional manufacturing inside out. Conventional manutacturing dictates that you should always have a stockpile of raw materials, because if you run out, your plant can't keep going. But if you don't know what you need to build because of dramatic changes in demand, you run the risk of ending up with terrific amounts of excess {and obsolete inventory. That is not the goal. The concept behind the direct model has nothing to do with stockpiling and everything to do with information. The quantity of your information is inversely proportional to the amount of assets required, in this case excess inventory, With less information about customer needs, you need massive amounts of inventory. So, if you have great information that is, you know exactly what people want and how much — you need that ‘much less inventory. Less inventory, of course, corresponds to less inventory depreciation. in the computer industry, ‘component prices are always falling as suppliers introduce faster chips, bigger disk drives, and modems wih ever- {greater bandwicth. Let's say that Dell has six days of inventory with anather thy in their distribution channel. That's a difference of forty-nine days, and in forty-nine days, the cost of materials will decline about 6 percent. ‘Then there's the threat of getting stuck with obsolete inventory if you're caught in a transition to a next-generation product, as we were with those memory chips in 1989. As tho product approaches the end of its life, ihe manufacturer hhas to worry about whether it nas too much in the channel and whether a competitor will dump products, destroying profit margins for everyone. This is a perpetual problem in the computer industry, but with the direct model, we have Virtually eliminated it. We know when cur customers are ready to move on technologically, and we can get out of the ‘market before its most precarious time. We don't have to subsidize our losses by charging higher prices for other products, ‘And ultimately, our customer wins. Optimal inventory management really starts with the design process. You want to design the product so that the entire product supply chain, as well as the manufacturing process, is oriented not just for ‘speed but for what we call velocity. Speed means being fast in the frst place. Velociy means squeezing time oul of every step in the process, Inventory velocity has become a passion for us. To achieve maximum velocity, you have to design your products in way that covers the largest part of the market with the fewest number of parts. For example, you don't need nine different disk drives when you can serve 98 percent of the market with only four. We also leamed to take into account the variability of low-cost and high-cost components. Systems were reconfigured to allow for a greater variety of low- cost parts and a limited variety of expensive parts. The goal was to decrease the number of componenis to manage, hich increased the velocity, which decreased the risk of inventory depreciation, which increased the overall health of ‘our business system, Wo were also able to reduce inventory well below the lovels anyone thought possible by constantly challenging and surprising ourselves with the results. We had our intemal skeptics when we first started pushing for ever-lower levels of inventory. | remembered the head of our procurement group telling me that this was like “lying low to the ground 300 knot". He was worried that we wouldn't see the trees. In 1999, we had $2.9 billon in seles and $220 milion in inventory. Four years later, we posted $12.3 billon in sales and hhad inventory of 33 milion. We're now dawn to six days of inventory and we're starting fo measure it in hours instead of days. Once you reduce your inventory while maintaining your growth rate, a significant amount of risk comes from the transition from one generation of product to the next. Without traditional stockpiles of inventory its cical to precisely5 Fax: 040-27887334 email time the discontinuance of the older product line with the ramp-up in customer demand for the newer one. Since we were introducing new products all the time, it became imperative to avoid the huge drag effect from mistakes made during transitions. € & O — shor for “excess and obeolete" — became taboo at Dell. We would debate about whether our E & O was 30 or 50 cents per PC. Since anything less than $20 per PC is not bad, when you're down in the cents, range, you're approaching stellar performance. In ote ‘ue got stronger with each transition and more competitive with each tum of the erank. We were inereasing our productivity and improving our cash flow in a. broader range of products in larger and larger markets. Unlike that period in 1999, when every day the news got alitle worse, now, finally, every day the news was better and better 5. Find out the TAUE statement: (A) According to the passage, the working of the direct model was being heavily exploited by all players in the software business. (8) Analysis of the supply chain of the product reveals that the product is sent to the warehouse by the dealer, and any delay at that stage leads to an obvious increase in cost. (C) The nature of the computer industry is such that the production decision at factory level is usually undertaken after getting the customer demand feedback from the distributors.

At Belize there had been great alarm of one cruel gang of Pirates (there were always more pirates than enough in those Caribbean Seas), and as they got the batter of our English cruisers by running into out-of-the-way creeks and shallows, and taking the land when they were hotly pressed, the governor of Belize had received orders trom home to keep a sharp Icok-oUt for them along shore. Now, there was an armed sloop came once a year from Port Royal, Jamaica, to the Island, laden with all manner of necessaries, to eat, and to drink, and to wear, and to use in various ways; and it was aboard ofthe sloop which had touched at Belize, that | was standing, leaning over the bulwarks. The Island was occupied by a very small English colony. It had been given the name of Silver-Store, The reason of its being so called, was, that the English colony owned and worked a silver-mine over on the mainland, in Honduras, and Used this Island as a safe and convenient place to store their siver in, unt it was annually fetched away by tne sloop. It was brought down from the mine to the coast on the backs of mules, attended by friendly local people and guarded by ‘white men; from thence it was conveyed over the Siver-Store, when the weather was fair, in the canoes of that counity; from Silver-Store, it was carried to Jamaica by the armed sloop once a year, as | have already mentioned, from Jamaica, it went of course, all over the world. How | came to be aboard the armed sloop, is easily told. Four-and-twenty marines under command of a lieutenant — that officer's name was Linderwood — had been told off at Belize, to proceed to Silver-Store, in aid of boats end seamen stationed there for the chase of the Pirates. The Island was considered a good post of observation against the pirates, both by land and sea; neither the pirate ship or yet her boats had been seen by any of us, but they had been so much heard of, that the reinforcement was sent. Of that party, | was one. It included a corporal and a sergeant. Charker was corporal, and the sergeant’s name was Droace. He was the most iyrannieal non-commissioned officer in His Majesty's The night came on, soon after | had the foregoing words with Charker. All the wonderful bright colours went out ofthe sea and sky in a few minutes, and all the stars in the Heavens seemed to shine out together, and to look down at themselves in the sea, over one another's shoulders, millions deep. Next morning, we cast anchor off the Island. There was a snug harbour within a litle reek; there was a sandy beach; there were cocoa-nut trees with high straight steams, quite bare, and foliage at the top like plumes of magniticent green feathers; there were all the objects that are usually seen in those parts, and | am not going to describe them, having something ese to tell about. Great rejoicings, to be sure, were made on our arrival. All the flags in the place were hoisted, al the guns in the place were fired, and all the poopie in the place came down to look at us. One of the local people had come off outside the reef, to plot us in, and remained on board after we had let go our anchor. My officer, Lieutenant Lindenwood, was as ill as the capitain of the sloop, and was carried ashore, too. They were both young men of about my age, who had been delicate in the West India climate. | thought | was much fiter for the work than they were, and that fall of us had our deserts, | should be both of ther rolled into one.

The huts of the local people, to the number of five-and-twenty, perhaps, were down by the beach fo the left of the anchorage. On the right was a sort of barrack, with a South American Flag and the Union Jack, fying from the same staff, where the litte English colony could all come together, if they saw occasion. It was a walled square of building, with a sort of pleasure-ground inside, and inside that again a sunken block like a power ‘magazine, witha litle square trench round it, and steps down to the door.

In the third para, the author or narrator states that Drooce is the most tyrannical or the most authoriarian, This is his opinion. There has been no mention of his friends’ opinion, So statement (C) is also false. The third sentence in the penultimate para of the passage. (On the ‘saw occasion) supports choice (D) to be true.

Choice (D) ‘Only 12, Mark the FALSE statement: (A) It was being difficult to capture the pirates because they either used to hide in uncommon waters whenever the patroling ships were pursuing them or used to disembark and flee whenever severely chased (8) The local canoes were employed by the miners to bring the silver from the coast to the island during favourable climatic condition. (C) The lifestyle ofthe island was not exactly British as it had to adjust itself with the local South ‘American culture, but the same seemed quite delightful for the narrator and his company. (©) When Corporal Charker and Sergent Gil were walking around the harbour, they noticed that the size of the settlement of the local people was not very large.

The company sells laptops in India. He is currently trying to select a distributor for coming five years. The distibutor ensures that the products are accessible to the customers in the market. Market share of a company depends on the coverage by the distributor. ‘The total profit potential of the entire laptop market in Delhi is Ris crores in the current year and present value fof next four year’s cumulative profit potential is Fs.15 ‘The first choice for Rajat is to enter into a longeterm contract with a distributor Mis Jagan with whom Dubin hhas done business in the past an whose distribution sysiem reaches 55 percent of all potential customers. At the last moment, however, a colleague suggests Raat to ‘consider signing a one-year contract with other distributors. Distributors Ms Bola and M/s James are willing to be partner with Dubin. Although a year ago Mis. Bola's and M/s James's coverages reached oniy 40 and 25 percent of customers respectively, they claim to have invested heavily in distribution resources and now ‘expect to be able to reach 60 percent and 75 percent of customers respectively.

These game cards made it possible for customers to win hamburgers, French fries, soft drinks, and other fastfood items, as well as cash prizes. Each card had 10 covered spots that could be uncovered by rubbing them with a coin. Beneath three of these spots wore "No Prize" signs. Beneath the other seven spots were names of prizes, two of which were identical. For example, fone card might have two pictures of a hamburger, ‘one picture of a Coke, one of French fries, one of a milk shake, one of $5, one of $1000, and three “No prize” signs. For this card the customer could win a hamburger. To win on any card, the customer had to uncover the two matching spota(which showed the potential prize for that card) before uncovering ‘a “No prize’, any card with a "No prizo” uncovered was automatically void.
