The English alphabet is divided into five groups. Each group starts with the vowel and the consonants immediately following that vowel and the consonants immediately following that vowel are included in that group. Thus, the letters A, B, C, D will be in the first group, the letters E, F, G, H will be in the second group and so on. The value of the first group is fixed as 10 and so on. The value of the last group is fixed as 50. In a group, the value of each letter will be the value of that group. To calculate the value of a word, you should give the same value of each of the letters as the value of the group to which a particular letter belongs and then add all the letters of the word: If all the letters in the word belong to one group only, then the value of that word will be equal to the product of the number of letters in the word and the value of the group to which the letters belong. However, if the letters of the words belong to different groups, then first write the value of that letter and the some value is given to all others letters in the word belonging to that group to which the first letter belongs. But for other letters, give double the value equivalent to the value of the group to which they belong.</p>
For Example : The value of word ?CAB? will be equal to 10 + 10 + 10 = 30, because all the three letters (the first letter and the remaining two) belong to the first group and so the value of each letter is 10. The value of letter BUT = 10+2?40+2?50=19010+2?40+2?50=190 because the value of first letter B is 10, the value of T = 2 ?? 40 (T belongs to the fourth group) and the value of U = 2 ?? 450 (U belongs to the fifth group).
Considering the information given Qs. 161 to 165, find out which one or two or three of the word denoted by A, B, C correspond to the given value ?
Below is given a passage followed by several possible inferences which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity.
Mark answer (a)if the inference is ?definitely true? i,e it properly follows from the statement of facts given

Mark answer (c)if the ?data are inadequate i.e from the facts given you cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false
Mark answer (d)if the inference is ?probably false? though not ?definitely false? in the light of the facts given
Mark answer (e)if the inference is ?probably false? i.e it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts.
The deterioration in the overall asset quality of banks gross Non-performing Assets (NPAs) are reportedly 27% higher at the end of December 2009 than at the end of December 2008-is not surprising Any slowdown in growth is bound to trigger a rise in NPAs as more and more companies default on loan repayments The effect would be pronounced when the slowdown coincides with a severe global recession But for the restructuring of loans permitted by the Central Bank on fairly generous terms NPAs would have been still higher Prudent banks that took care while sanctioning loans and then monitored the post sanction disbursement diligently should be able to weather the crisis But it is one thing to have NPAs rise because of a cyclical downturn it is quite another to have NPAs rise because of policy errors that are entirely within the realm of policy makers And this is what we need to guard against Excessively low interest rates skew the risk reward equation by making projects that are actually not viable appear viable till interest rates reverse and the same projects cease to be viable It is now well established that long periods of unduly low interest rates encourage banks to take more risks A low interest rate regime driven by an easy money policy rather than macroeconomic fundamentals leads to excessive expansion of credit It incentivizes banks to take on more risk in search of higher returns and to misprice risk.

Dangerous rubbish material management-- This is area of the most significant problem of India, related to the environment arising out of the fast industrial development specially in petrochemicals, chemicals, electronics, heavy engineering and automobile industries. The consequence of this development has been in the increase in the formation of the poisonous and dangerous waste material. Due to this whatever remains are there, during the treatment of waste disposal and hormones produced by these industries, the danger of water and land resources and being seriously polluted is on the increase because of their excessive delivery. Today, the industrial sector and the government, both are facing the challenge of providing the basic structure for the well protected transport and the disposal of the dangerous waste material. There has been a tremendous pressure on the industrial sector due to lack of sufficiently and scientifically outlined techniques for general performance, warehouse and disposable facilities. ?Stop Gap arrangements? which are in the form of inferior design and structure facilities are making this problem more complicated: In fact, these are proving a big hurdle for the environment.
