SECTION – 2
GENERAL ENGLISH
Directions (1 – 10): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
In 2015(IHR) the Global Nutrition Report (GNR) and India Health Report on Nutrition(IHR), offer a critical analysis of the state of nutrition in India. The first report was, the India Health Report: The state-wise data dashboards it gives a comprehensive view of nutrition 2015(IHR) and its determinants, and provides easy-to-understand, It looks at disparities in these outcomes and their multiple determinants across geographical regions, socio-economic classes, and demographic groups to help identify strategic choices for policy-making at the State level. In turn, GNR assesses progress in reducing malnutrition for all 193 countries. It concludes that while India is on track to meeting only two of the eight global targets on nutrition, it has significantly improved its nutrition performance in the past 10 years. GNR notes that there has been a big increase in the number of countries on track to meet global nutrition targets, and encourages countries, including India, to establish specific and time-bound targets for malnutrition reduction that are consistent with the new Sustainable Development Goals. Together, thesereports paint several pictures about India, a data-poor country. They portray one of great progress in improving nutrition across India; stunting among children, a marker of the most persistent types of malnutrition, has declined rapidly in the last ten years. And this decline has been faster than in many other countries. But as we dig deeper, there are diverse pictures about the life conditions of Indian children — positive stories about children’s lives and futures in Goa, Kerala, Manipur and Tamil Nadu, but dismal ones in Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. What cannot be debated is the reality of deep, systemic inequality; of inequality in the circumstances that children are born into, that they live and grow in. For those of us who are worried about India’s economic growth, these are also pictures of inequality that point to how well these children will be able to contribute to India’s economic growth and their own prosperity. Their poor nutrition stunts more than their bodies. It stunts their well-being, and, consequentially, that of their home States and their nation. Two other things, both related to inequality, stand out as well in the data. First, the data point to tremendous variability across States in delivering what should be universal, rights-based and already mandated health and nutrition services. For example, sample this for intra-State disparity. Food provided by the Integrated Child Development Services reaches barely 1 in 5 children in Uttar Pradesh but over 90 per cent in Odisha. Less than 33 per cent of children in Nagaland are fully immunised; in Goa, it is more than 90 per cent. Close to 80 per cent defecate in the open in Odisha; barely 2 per cent do so in Kerala. Why?
These are disparities across States that operate in the same national framework, and there is, let’s face it, no good reason for this other than an inability or unwillingness to invest in changing ground realities, for everyone and everywhere. This is not an insurmountable challenge and it’s certainly an area where States can, if they want it, make dramatic change in short timeframes. Examples abound from within India. The data in the reports show that, clearly, the imperative for introspection, and looking within for solutions was never clearer. No child should go without basic health care, food security and things like water and a toilet. Indeed, no adult should either. No society should condone such inequalities in the basics. And no society has progressed without addressing these basics.

21. Total number of luxury watches sold by stores C and H together is by what percent less than total number of watches (sports watches and luxury watches) sold by stores F and H together?
(A) 295/6 (B) 273/7 (C) 313/5 (D) 284/7 (E) 265/9
Ans-(E)
SOLUTION:
Sports watch and luxury watches: sports watches: Luxury watches:
A=18% =10080 A=16% =5120 A=10080-5120=4960
B=11% =6160 B=16%=5120 B=6160-5120=1040
C=14% =560 C=7%=2240 C=2240-560=1680
D=15% =8400 D=13%=4160 D=8400-4160=4240
E=20% = 11200 E=22%=7040 E=11200-7040=4160
F=8% =4480 F=8%=2560 F=4480-2560=1920
G=5% =2800 G=6%=1920 G=2800-1920=880
H= 9% = 5040 H=12%=3840 H=5040-3840=1200
Luxury watches = C+H
1680+1200=2880
Sports watches+ luxury watches = F+H
4480+5040 = 9520
=265/9
22. Number of watches (sports watches and luxury watches) sold by store D is by what percent more than total number of sports watches sold by stores C, F and G together ?
