Directions (next ten questions) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the question.
We are told that economy is growing and that such growth benefits all of us. However, what you see is not what you always get. Most people are experiencing declining economic security in response to the problems of the global system, many communities have turned to Local Exchange System (LESs) to help regain some control over their economic situations.
Local exchange systems come in many forms. They often involve the creation of a local currency, or a system of bartering labour, or trading of agricultural products as a means of supporting the region in which they are traded. Such a system help preserve the viability of local economies.
Local currencies allow communities to diversify their economies, reinvest resources back into their region and reduce dependence on the highly concentrated and unstable global economy. Each local currency system serves as an exchange bank for skills and resources that individuals in the community are willing to trade. Whether in the form of paper money, service credits, or other units, a local currency facilitates the exchange of services and resources among the members of a community.
By providing incentives for local trade, communities help their small businesses and reduce under-employment by providing the jobs within the community. In addition, the local exchange of food and seeds promotes environmental conservation and community food security. Local food production reduces wasteful transportation and promotes self-reliance and genetic diversity. Each transaction within a local exchange system strengthens the community fabric das neighbours interact and meet one another.
There are over 1000 local exchange programs worldwide – more than 30 local paper currencies in North America and at least 800 Local paper currencies in North America and at throughout Europe. New Zealand and Australia Local Exchange Systems vary and evolve in accordance with the needs and circumstances of the local area. This diversity is critical to the success of the local currencies. For instance, a bank in rural Massachusetts refused to lend a farmer the money needed to make it through the winter. In response, the farmer decided to print his own money Berkshire Farm Preserve Notes. In winter, customers buy the notes for $ 9 and they may redeem them in the summer for $ 10 worth of vegetables. The system enabled the community to help a farm family after being abandoned by the centralized monetary system. As small family farms continue to disappear at an alarming rate, local currencies provide tools for communities to bind together, support their local food growers and maintain their local food suppliers.
Local Exchange System are not limited to developed countries. Rural areas of Asia, Latin America and Africa have offered some of the most effective and important programs, by adopting agriculture-based systems of exchange rather than monetary ones. In order to preserve genetic diversity, economic security and avoid dependence on industrial seed and chemical companies, many villages have developed seed saving exchange banks. For example, the village women in Ladakh have begun to collect and exchange rare seeds selected for their ability to grow in a harsh mountain climate. This exchange system protects agriculture diversity while promoting self-reliance. There is no one blueprint for a local exchange system, which is sustainability. They promote local economic diversity and regional self-reliance while responding to a region’s specific needs. Local exchange systems play a pivotal role in creating models for sustainable societies. They are an effective educational tool, raising awareness about the global financial system local and local economic matters. Local exchange system also demonstrate that tangible, creative solutions exist and that communities can empower themselves to address global problems.

Total number = 3000
Number of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store B is what percent more than the number of Nokia cellular phones sold by store A
Number of cellular phones both sold by store B
=21/100×6400=1344
Number of Nokia phones sold by store A
=24/100×3000=720
∴ Required percentage = [1344-720/720×100]%
What is the central angle corresponding to number of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store D
Central angle = 33/100×3600 =118.80
What is the average number of Samsung cellular phones sold by stores B,C and D
Samsun cellular phones sold by store B

A sum of money was invested for 14 years in Scheme A which offers simple interest at a rate of 8% p.a. The amount received from Scheme A after 14 years was then invested for two years in Scheme B which offers compound interest (compounded annually) at a rate of 10% p.a. If the interest received from Scheme B was INR 6678/- what was the sum invested in Scheme A
Let the sum of money invested in scheme A be INR x.
Amount = x×8×14/100+x = 53/25x
Now, C.I. for 2 years = 53/25x[(1+10/100)2-1]
6678=53/25×[(11/10)2-1]
6678=53/25×[121-100/100]
6678=53/25x×21/100

Data related to salary structure of 5 individuals from
different organization in March
Basic
Salary
(in INR)
Total
Allowance
Deduction
Net Salary
Note :
I. Total deduction = Provident Fund deduction (which is 10% of basic salary) + Other deduction
II. Net Salary = Basin Salary + Total Allowance - Total Deduction
III. Few Values are missing in the table (indicated by-). A candidate is expected to calculate the missing value, if it is required to answer the given questions, on the basis of the given data and information.
If other deduction of P was INR 4720, what was his net salary
Net salary = 21800+28600-[10/100×21800+4720]
=INR 43500/-
If Q's total allowance was INR 3000/- more than his basic salary, what was his total allowance
Let his basic salary be INR x.
Total allownace =INR(x+3000)
and it is given that, total deduction =INR 4350/-
Net salary= x+x+3000-4350
25850 = 2x-1350
27200/2 = x
x = INR 13600/-
So, total allowance = 13600+3000 = INR 16600/-
If the respective ratio of Provident Funds deduction and other deduction of S was 7:13, what was S's other deduction
Provident fund deduction = 10/100×11200 = INR 11200/-
Let the total deduction be INR x.
∴ 7/20×x = 1120 ⇒ x = 3200
So other deduction = 3200-1120 = INR 2080/-
Basic salary of S is what percent more than the basic salary of R
Required percentage = (11200-10400/10400×100)%
= 7 9/13%
If other deduction of T was INR 4000/-, what was his net salary
It is given that,
Other deduction = INR 4000/-
Provident Fund Deduction
= 5700-4000 = INR 1700/-Let the basic salary be INR x.
10/100x = 1700
x = INR 17000/-
Net salary = 17000+21600-5700 = INR 32900/-
