Section IV LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION

Directions (Q.76-79): Read the passages below to answer the questions that follow each passage.

PASSAGE -1In a convention hall filled with auto executives who wish they could wake up to find the 2009 was just a bad dream, David Zuchowski and his colleagues at Hyundai were doing low-key victory laps. But while they plan in 2010 to pick up where they left off, they also tempered expectations that the US sales gains achieved by the Korean automaker can be repeated. "We will not have the same margin of difference that we did last year." David Zuchowski said at the Detroit auto show. "Our sales were up 8 percent in a market that was down 21 percent. There are a lot of things that happened with our competition, with our marketing, that really put us in a different area. We think for sure that we're going to grow our volume this year and we're going to grow our market share," he added, "If nothing else changes, and we held our 4.2 percent market share into 2010, we think that in itself accounts for 45,000 units of additional volume. And we think we're going to grow our share on top of that because we have some really terrific new products."John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai's American, sales operations, said the first goal is to hold onto the market share gains of 2009. Last year, Hyundai's US sales rose 8.3 percent to 435,064 units. Its share of the market jumped to 4.2 percent from 3 percent in 2008. Hyundai expects US sales this year to hit 11.4 million, may be even 11.5 million units. US sales fell 21.2 percent last year to 10.4 million units. As US automakers in early 2009 were concerned about their own survival,"Hyundai Assurance" was introduced as a safety net for consumers afraid of losing their jobs. Just shy of 100 customers returned cars under a programme allowing buyers to walk away from loans without a negative mark on credit reports if they lost their jobs. The programme has been extended through 2010. "It elevated our brand," Zuchowski said of the Hyundai Assurance programme. "People who never used to consider us now are," Car salesmen watch this "consideration rate." which is as it sounds-whether a consumer will consider a brand when making a purchase decision.

76). According to the passage, the success of Hyundai in America is due to

I. consideration rate has increased manifold.

II. The aim of Hyundai is to retain the market share of previous year.

III. Continue Hyundai Assurance through 2010.

(a) I, II and III (b) I and III

(c) I and II (d) II and III

77) It can be inferred from the passage that

(a) Hyundai is unable to sell their cars in American market.

(b) Hyundai is optimistic of increasing their sales this year in America.

(c) Car sales are going to plummet in America through 2010.

(d) Both David Zuchowski and John Krafcik are at loggerheads.

(b) America stopped buying cars from South Korea.

(c) America has still not reached its peak in car sales.

(d) America has taken a conscious decision to buy more cars.

PASSAGE – 2

The latest CSO data on economic growth in the States has thrown up a number of interesting trends, none perhaps more interesting than the catch-up trend shown by what were conventionally viewed as backward States-Bihar's 11% growth has already received much attention. A disaggregated look at the growth figures reveals an even more interesting fact-the huge role played by services in propelling growth in backward States. Bihar's 11% average growth figure between FY05 and FY09 (up from 6% between FYOl and FY05 hides the massive 38.13% growth in construction (up from 14% between FYOl and FY05, 17.34% growth in communication (up from 10% between FYOl and FY05, 17.33% in restaurants and hotels (up from 13% between FYOl and FY05, all major services sectors, in the same period. The boom in construction, telephones (particularly mobiles) and hospitality in mirrored in other previously slow growing states, including Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa. What is even more important than the growth numbers themselves is the large number of jobs (particularly low skill and semi-skilled) that have been generated in the services sector industry. At a time when inclusive growth is the focus of government policy, such employment generating growth must be satisfying.

Impressive though the numbers are, it is easy to get carried away by them. The fact of the matter is that services can only create a certain number of jobs and certainly not enough over a sustained period of time to absorb the entire workforce. Construction, for example, may eventually be limited by weak demand. The growth in communications was very impressive in these last five years because of the mobile boom, but that might plateau. Significantly, the numbers on agriculture growth remain very low and a significantproportion of India's population still depends on agriculture. Not all the excess labor from agriculture-which needs to move out to lift productivity-will, be absorbed by services. So, industry/manufacturing will still be the key to ensuring the kind of inclusive growth we need to boost backward States and to lift

people out of poverty But manufacturing needs radical policy attention in a way that services do not, to register rapid growth. The government, at the Centre and in States, needs to focu5 on labor laws, land acquisition and infrastructure. The strong growth in services, while welcome, should not become a reason to do nothing about promoting manufacturing and reforming agriculture. Healthy growth in those two sectors is needed to generate the demand that will eventually sustain services on a high growth path.

Having investigated the nature of the relationship between price and trading volume for 50 Indian stocks, our findings indicate evidence of positive contemporaneous correlation between price changes and trading volume in Indian stock markets. All the stocks, except Reliance Power, show asymmetric behaviour, which is in line with the research findings. Investigation of dynamic relationship between returns and trading volume shows very interesting results. We find evidence that in the Indian market, past returns cause trading volume, which can be easily conceived in an emerging market where the state of development of the market possibly does not allow instantaneous information dissemination. These results are further supported by the variance decomposition. However, in most cases the relationship lacks economic significance even though it is statistically significant. The results of impulse response analysis indicate that both returns and volume are mostly affected by their own lag and that volume is more autoregressive than returns, that is any shock in either returns or volume does not affect the return series beyond one lag. In case of unconditional volatility and trading volume, we find a positive contemporaneous relationship between trading volume and unconditional volatility.

84).According to the passage, the research finding show

(A) Positive contemporaneous relationship between trading volume and volatility.

(B) Reliance Power confirms the general trend.

(C) Information is not disseminated instantaneously in the stock market,

(c) A and B (d) B and C

85). It can be inferred from the passage that

(a) the trading volume does not depend on the past returns.

(b) the trading volume largely depends on the past returns.

(c) the trading volume has no positive correlation with volatility.

(d) the trading volume depends on the variance decomposition.

86). According to the passage, subjects that are discussed does not include

(a) trends in returns vis-a-vis volatility.

(b) stock market losses during recession.

(c) information dissemination being slow within the market.

(d) results of the research have more of statically significance than economic

Buoyed by strong demand from automobile, infrastructure, consumer durables, and capital goods industries, the price of steel and profitability of steel firms are firming up. In addition to private demand, the government's stimulus packages have also helped. Analysts expect the margins of steel companies to expand by 500 basis points in the quarter ending December last year, because of the rally in the base metal prices. Crude steel production in the quarter ended December last year grew 2.6% and prices increased by 2% in the same period. Broadly, during April-December 2009, steel consumption grew by 8% and growth gathered momentum during the last three months partly due to the low base effect of the previous year. In fact, Indian steel-makers had reduced production by up to 40% in October-December 2008, as demand dropped significantly due to the slowdown and credit crunch. Even though fears of oversupply kept steel prices under pressure in the domestic market globally, too, companies had reduced the price of the metal-strong demand is now pulling up prices. Long product prices increased by nearly Rs. 4,000 per tonne in the second half of December and analysts expect prices to rise by another Rs. 1,000 per tonne this month. Even on the bourses, Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Sterlite and SAIL have outperformed the broader markets with gains of around 55% in the quarter ended December and the BSE Metal Index too outperformed the Senses. Despite the global slowdown, demand for steel in the domestic market remained strong due to the quick recovery in the automobile industry and government spending on infrastructure projects. In fact, a recent note from Nomura Research says that steel companies in India have enjoyed high operating rates resulting in robust performances. Even globally, the World Steel Organisation says that the slump in steel demand has bottomed out and is expected to grow by 9% this year as demand rebounds in the US, Europe and Japan, The organization expects steel prices to increase by 10% in the next three months and inventory build-up will take place in anticipation of an increase in raw material costs.
