Read the following scenario and answer the three questions that follow.The occasion was a hyper publicised switch-on ceremony of solar power facilities on an island, with many villages, in the Bay of Bengal. PK was the brand ambassador of a Multinational Company (MNC) that was banking heavily on this CSR initiative to strengthen its presence in India. For the millions of fans, enamoured by the aging super star’s Robinhood like onscreen exploits, the pre-event speech of PK was their first glimpse into his off-screen persona. After an emotional speech that extolled the virtues of electricity as a driver of wellbeing & need for inclusive growth, PK with a flourish of his hand hit the button to remotely switch on the solar power facilities. Tens of media cameras stationed in all the island villages, started beaming live feed across the world. Quickly, the event turned from one of joy to something of shock and horror, as all the thatched households on the island caught fire. A few villagers were seriously injured in the fire. Watching the coverage, PK slapped the MNC representative standing next to him, on live camera, and collapsed on a couch with his head in his hands.
Soon after, the MNC filed a case against PK for criminal assault and tarnishing its brand image.Which of the following is the MOST appropriate reason for the MNC to file a case against PK?
Option A: This is a very appropriate reason to file a case against PK as it shows the affirmation of their image and their intolerant attitude towards such behaviours.
Option B: This helpless attitude will not trade well with the stakeholders.
Option C: Filing a lawsuit against PK won't help their case with their dropping sales.
Option D: This action has the potential to further exacerbate their public image regarding the incident.
Option E: This option will also be discarded for a similar reason as option 4.
Thus, the correct option is A.
Read the following scenario and answer the three questions that follow.Churna is a peaceful village, surrounded by thickly forested high hills that isolate it from the rest of the world. Agriculture is the main occupation of the Churna villagers. Moreover, the forests provide seasonal fruits, tubers, medicinal herbs, and other forest produce in abundance. For all material needs not produced locally, the Churna villagers depend on Tendua, a faraway town.Once a month, the Churna women would arduously trek with the surplus produce to Tendua. In the Tendua market, they convey the virtues of their produce through a beautiful song and dance routine. Reputed for their hard-bargaining skills, they always manage to extract a premium barter from the traders, more than fulfilling all their other material needs.
Damdu, an ambitious trader of Tendua, wants to have exclusive access to all the surplus produce from Churna.Which of the following offers to the Churna village will BEST help Damdu achieve her objective?
The best course of action for Damdu would be option A that is to set up a shop in Churna which will barter all the material requirements of the village. In this way the women of Churna would not sell their products in the Tendua market instead they sell them to Damdu as it would avoid transportation cost if they get all the materials for their requirement.
Read the following scenario and answer the three questions that follow.Rohini is one of the most popular faculty members in the finance department, known for her in-class engagement with students. Every year, she offers an elective Financial Risk and Derivatives Management in the fourth term which gets subscribed by about hundred students. This year, owing to Covid-19, she is forced to teach the course online, that too, in the fifth term. The fifth term is notorious for its non-negotiable teaching slots. To enable her teaching, Rohini uses her favourite laptop, Maplebook Lite, sold by Maple.Rohini converts her family bedroom into a “working room” because of the strong wifi signals. The room is mostly used by Rohini for taking her classes; however, Rinku, her husband, also uses it for running his meetings. Rohini has two children, aged 5 and 8, who use the living room as their playground. During meetings and classes, the working room is shut to save it from unwanted disturbance and noises from the living room.It is 3:10 p.m. and Rohini’s penultimate session of the course is going to end in twenty minutes. As usual, Rinku enters the room with a cup of Darjeeling tea. Just before entering, he asks his kids to stop playing for some time. He quietly places the teacup on Rohini’s study table and exits the room, leaving the door ajar. As soon as he leaves, a tennis ball comes thundering inside, crashing into her Maplebook monitor. The monitor breaks and Rohini’s class ends abruptly, much before the scheduled time.
What should be BEST held responsible for the accident?
If Rinku had closed the door not left the door ajar after serving the tea then the accident would not have happened. Therefore the most obvious reason for the accident is Rinku leaving the door ajar.
