Directions (next ten questions): Read the following 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.
Over the past few days alone, the China's Central bank has pumped extra cash into the financial system and cut interest rates. The aim is to free more cash for banks to lend and provide a boost for banks seeking to improve the return on their assets. The official data though, suggested that bad loans make up only 1.4% of their balance sheets. How to explain the discrepancy ? One possible answer is that bad loans are a lagging indicator i.e., it is only after the economy has struggled for a while that borrowers began to suffer. Looked at this way, China is trying to anticipate problems keeping its banks in good health by sustaining economic growth of nearly 7% year-on-year.
Another more worrying possibility is that bad loans are worse than official data indicate. This does not look to be the cause for China's biggest banks, which are managed conservatively and largely focus on the country's biggest value and quality borrowers. But, there is mounting evidence that when it comes to smaller banks, especially those yet to list on the stock market, bad loans piling up. That is important because unlisted lenders account for just over a third of the Chinese banking sector, making them as big as Japan's entire banking industry.
Although, non-performing loans have edged up slowly, the increase in special-mention loans (a category that includes those overdue but not yet classified as impaired loans) has been much bigger. Special mention loans are about 2% at most of China's big listed banks, suggesting that such loans must be much higher at their smaller, unlisted peers. Many of these loans are simple bad debts which banks have not yet admitted to. Another troubling fact is that fifteen years ago, the government created asset management companies (often referred to as bad banks) to take on the transfer these companies had little to pay. But, last year, Cinda, the biggest of the bad banks, bought nearly 150 bilion Y uan ($ 24 billion) of distressed assets last year, two-thirds more than in 2013.
These assets would have raised the banks bad-loans ratio by a few tenths of a percentage point. although such numbers do not seem very alarming, experts who reviewed last year's results for 158 banks, of which only 20 are listed found that 'shadow loans', loans recorded as investments which may be a disguise for bad loans have grown to as much as 5.7 billion Yuan, or 5% of the industry's assets. These are heavily concentrated on the balanace sheets of smaller-unlisted banks, and at the very least, all this points to a need for recapitalisation of small banks.

Out of the number of qualified candidates from State P in 2008, the respective ratio of male and female candidates is 11:7. If the number of female qualified candidates from State P in 2008 is 126, what is the number of appeared candidates (both male and female) from State P in 2008
Total number of qualified candidates from state P
= 126× (11+7)/7 = 324
∴ Total number of appeared candidates from state P
= 324 × 100/60 = 540
Number of appeared candidates from State Q increased by 100% from 2006 to 2007. If the total number of qualified candidates from State Q in 2006 and 2007 together is 408. What is the number of appeared candidates from State Q in 2006
Let number of appeared candidates from state Q
in 2006 = x
Number of appeared candidates from state Q
in 2007 = 2x
According to questions,
x×30/100+2x×45/100 = 408
⇒ 120x/100 = 408
⇒ x = 340
What is the difference between number of qualified candidates from State P in 2006 and that in 2007
Required difference = 450 × 60/100-600×43/100

Number of qualified candidates from State Q in 2008
and 2009 = 280×60/100+550×50/100 = 443
∴ Number of qualified candidates from State Q
in 2010 = 630-443 = 187
If the respective ratio between number of qualified candidates from State P in 2009 and 2010 is 14 : 9, What is the number of qualified candidates from State P in 2010
Number of qualified candidates from State P

The number of people who travelled by train B on Thursday = 200
Number of people who travelled by train B on Friday
= 200×120/100 = 240
Number of people who travelled by train B on Saturday
= 320
∴ Required ratio = 240 : 320 = 3:4
What is the difference between the total number of people who travelled by Train B on Monday and Tuesday together and the total number of people who travelled by Train A on Saturday and Sunday together
Number of people who travelled by train B on Monday and Tuesday = 200+170 = 370
Number of people who travelled by train A on Saturday and Sunday = 350 + 270 = 620
∴ Required difference = 620 - 370 = 250

INR 6100/- was partly invested in Scheme A at 10% p.a. compound interest (compounded annually) for 2 years and partly in Scheme B at 10% p.a. simple interest for 4 years. Both the schemes pay equal interests. How much was invested in Scheme A
Let amount invested in Scheme A = INR x
Amount invested in Scheme B = INR (6100-x)
According to question,
x[(1+10/100)2-1 = (6100-x)×4×10/100
⇒ x[121/100-1] = (6100-x)×4×10/100
⇒ x[121-100/100]=(6100-x)×40/100
⇒ 21x=244000-40x
