India’s IT industry has warned about the adverse impact that curbs on outsourcing will have on the U.S. economy, which lacks high-skilled workers. The critical thing for this industry is high-skilled workers and the fact of the matter is that those high-skilled workers are not available in the U.S. If the agenda of creation of jobs needs to be pursued, we feel that current windows will need to be kept open to get the requisite skilled workers. The Indian IT industry provided services to American companies, which helped them to be competitive in the global market. In the U.S., the job creation engine is only corporate America. There is no other way that U.S. economy can generate jobs. And therefore, to keep corporate America fighting fit, ensure that it remains globally competitive, ensure continuous increase in productivity, these services are needed. If you need these services, you need skilled people.

Chinese products will be, predictably, fiercely price-competitive. And India is the first market they will target in a big way under their own brand name. These companies usually make their money by making phones for better-known brands. One little known Chinese brand has already entered India — iVoomi launched four smartphone models a few days back. “Original equipment makers or even original design making companies that have been so far confined to China, such as Tinno, Malata and Huaqin, are also preparing to come to India because China’s market itself has slowed down.
Question 5
Direction: Read the given passage carefully. Choose the most appropriate option from the given alternatives which expresses the summary of the passage.
Consumer awareness is important because it increases a current or potential customer's knowledge about a product or service, allowing her to make a more informed purchase. Increasing consumer awareness also allows business owners to share background information about their organizations, their values and their practices. Business owners increase consumer awareness by employing a wide range of marketing techniques designed to provide consumers with as much positive information about their company as possible. If an organization consistently produces high-quality products, has high safety standards and provides top-notch customer service, it benefits it to make the public aware of these values through commercials, billboards or social media campaigns. When a company associates itself with specific positive values, customers feel more confident making purchases.
Question 6
A farmer had a rectangular land containing 205 trees. He distributed that land among his four daughters – Abha, Bina, Chitra and Dipti by dividing the land into twelve plots along three rows (X,Y,Z) and four Columns (1,2,3,4) as shown in the figure below:
The plots in rows X, Y, Z contained mango, teak and pine trees respectively. Each plot had trees in non-zero multiples of 3 or 4 and none of the plots had the same number of trees. Each daughter got an even number of plots. In the figure, the number mentioned in top left corner of a plot is the number of trees in that plot, while the letter in the bottom right corner is the first letter of the name of the daughter who got that plot (For example, Abha got the plot in row Y and column 1 containing 21 trees). Some information in the figure got erased, but the following is known:
1. Abha got 20 trees more than Chitra but 6 trees less than Dipti.
2. The largest number of trees in a plot was 32, but it was not with Abha.
