Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Inflation is an increase in the average level of prices in the economy. The inflation rate is the percentage rate of change of a price index over time. The inflation rate is widely calculated by calculating the movement or change in a price index, usually the consumer price index (CPI). The consumer price index measures movements in prices of a fixed basket of goods and services purchased by a “typical consumer”. These goods and services include food, medicines, essential clothes, schooling, etc. If, the inflation rate for the CPI in one period is X%, general level of prices have increased by X% in that period. In march 2007, the Consumer Price Index of a country was 202.04, and in March 2008 it was 210.10. By approximately how much % general price level of the commodities increase in 2008 over the prices in 2007?
- A8
- B10
- C6
- D4Correct

During 2012, a particular country’s inflation rate averaged 1.3% a day. This means that on average, prices went up by about 1.3% from one day to the next day. By what percentage did this country’s prices increase in March 2012?
- A\(100 - {(100 + 0.013)^{31}}\)Correct
- B\({101.3^{31}}\)
- C\({(100 + 0.013)^{31}}\)
- D1.3 X 31

Inflation can haphazardly redistribute income and wealth in the society in an undesirable manner. While inflation is an increase in the average price level, all prices do not increase at the same rate. Suppose, the overall inflation rate is 10 percent and health can prices rise by 20 percent while food prices do not change. How will it impact food growers?
- AExpenses on medicines will decrease
- BThe cost of input will decrease
- CTheir real income will decreaseCorrect
- DTheir living standards will decrease

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Gravity is the force that gives most of the large objects in the Universe their structure. It holds the Earth together and in the orbit around the Sun. it holds the Sun together and in its orbit around the Milky Way. It also holds the Universe itself together. Gravity also causes many astronomical phenomena such as tides. Every object exerts a gravitational force of attraction on every object. The gravitational force between tow objects depends on their masses, thus the force is larger for larger masses. It also depends on their separation, and with increase in distance between two masses, the force become weaker. Newton discovered the mathematical expression for the force of gravity on any planet. Gravitational Acceleration: a = \(GM/r{t^2}\) Or, Mass of a Planet: M = \(a{r^2} = /G\)> As a force = \(mass \times acceleration\) G is called the Universal gravitational constant; M = Planet Mass; and r = Radius from Planet Center Value of G depends on the units. In SI units, \(G = 6.67 \times {10^{11}}\,\,N{m^2}/K{g^2}\) Suppose, two stars S1 and S2 are in orbit around each other. Assuming that S1 explodes and blows off half its mass, the gravitational force between S1 and S2 will
- AGet twice as strong
- BReduce to half
- CCannot be determined without distanceCorrect
- DRemain unchanged

- ABe greater than G
- BRemain unchangedCorrect
- CBe smaller than G
- DDepend on density of masses

Greater the force of attraction, harder for an object to break free from its influence. It requires the object to move faster to break free. The force of gravity determines the speed that something must travel in order to escape the object’s gravity. That speed is called the escape velocity. In order to escape, earth’s field, the kinetic energy of an object must be greater that the gravitational force that is \(\frac{{\text{1}}}{{\text{2}}}{\text{M}}{{\text{V}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{ = }}\frac{{{\text{GM}}}}{{{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}}}\,{\text{(force}}\,{\text{ = }}\,{\text{mass}}\,{\text{ \times }}\,{\text{acceleration)}}\) The escape velocity from spherical objects like a moon, or star, is calculated as \({\text{V = }}\sqrt {{\text{2GM/R}}}\) Thus when R gets smaller, V becomes greater. On the surface of the Earth, the escape velocity is about 11.2 kilometer per second. It means that a rocket has to attain such a high speed to be free from the gravitational attraction of the earth and leave the planet, otherwise it would fall into its orbit. In the following table, Relative Mass and Radius of different planets with respect to Earth have been given. Earth Mass = \(5.976 \times {10^{24}}\) Kilogram Earth equatorial radius = 6378 Kilometre Which of the following is the closet to the escape velocity from Jupiter?

- A6 km/sec
- B318 km/sec
- C29 km/sec
- D60 km/secCorrect
