English Directions (Q. 51-60): Read the passage carefully and

answer the questions given below it. Reverse mortgage is a financial product that enables senior

citizens (60 years-plus) to mortgage their real-estate assets with a lender and convert part of the equity into tax-free regular in­come. This saves them from selling assets in their lifetime.

The Life Insurance corporation (LIC) is planning to en­ter the reverse mortgage business. LIC's entry into the seg­ment is significant as it has a huge base. According to IRDA, LIC has a 29% share in the total new life insurance policies sold in 2008-09.

The National Housing Bank's (NHB) reverse mortgage loan-enabled annuity scheme has sanctioned 40 loans esti­mated at Rs 100 crores. To the NHB, around 7000 loans amounting to Rs 400 crores have been sanctioned till March 2010. It is expected that the modified scheme that provides life-long annuity to the buyer and his spouse will catch on with the entry of LIC in the segment.

With the existing scheme, LIC will provide payments in the form of annuity to the policy holders. Once the assessed value of the house and the loan amount to be disbursed is decided on, LIC will start making payments till the policy holder survives. The bank will make full payment of the total loan amount to the LIC, once the policy starts which the insurer can invest as per the company's investment guidelines.

In case of reverse mortgage, the property owner surren­ders the title of the property to a financial institution. The financial institution doesn't pay the entire amount to the owner upfront. On the contrary, it pays out a regular sum each month for the agreed time.

The owner gets to stay in the property along with his spouse for their lifetime.

Thus, the owner can ensure a regular cash flow in times of need and enjoy the benefit of staying in the property. After the death of owner the property is transferred to the institution and not to the heirs.

Reverse mortgage is a relat ively new concept in India. The concept is quite popular in deve loped countr ies to gen­erate cash flow.

The aim is to generate re turns out of the asset, whi le it is used by the owner and to m a k e immovab le proper ty more liquid. The monthly payout is for the specific per iod of t ime and the amount of payout depends upon the value of p rop­erty as well as the per iod of agreement and the rate of pay­ment. The entire payout mechan i sm — calculat ion and com­puta t ion—depends on the law of probabil i ty.

The financial institution has to bear the risk of the indi­vidual outliving the agreement . Reverse mor tgage is of im­mense use in unlocking the otherwise illiquid asset.

If step VI of an Input is 378 446 644 877 992 880 740, which of the following would definitely be the input? 1) Can't be determined 2) 877 740 880 378 992 644 446 3)644 446 992 877 740 378 880 4)446 644 992 877 740 378 880 5) None of these Directions (Q. 207-210): These questions are based on a

code language which utilises letters in the English alphabet. In each question, there is a word written in capital letters, with one letter underlined. For each letter in that wofd there is a code written in small letters. That code is denoted by 1,2,3,4 or 5 not in the same order. You have to And out the exact code for the underlined letter in the word. The number of that code is the answer. Please note that the same letter appearing in other word(s) may be coded differently. 207. D E L I A

unit of the problem figures bears a certain relationship to the first figure. Similarly, one of the figures in the answer figures bears the same relationship to the first figure in the second unit of the problem figures. You are therefore to

locate the figure which would replace the question mark.
