Question No 10

Case study:

Price cuts have enabled FMCG companies like HLL and P&G to increase sales. Volumes

of major detergent brands have increased by 15 17 per cent. Analysts in fact expect Surf

Excel to be a success story for HLL. The company expects more from the brand in the

coming years.

Launching sachets and positioning the brand in the affordable category was

necessitated by the presence of a number of highly competitive smaller brands in the

market. Henko, Nirma, Ghari Detergents, Friendly Wash and many other smaller brands

have challenged the giants by offering a price which attracts the value-conscious Indian

consumers. In fact, unbranded players are offering packs which are twice the size of a

branded product with similar or better quality at a cheaper price. Very clearly the FMCG

majors have to maintain the brand reputation or just simply cut prices.

The manufacturers attribute the price drops to internal cost efficiencies especially

with the supply chain. Analysts say the FMCG companies will have to drop prices further

to get the right value equation in the market. There is no other way to grow. The companies

have tried easy innovation and relaunch. The fact is that there is a market at a price and

they cannot afford to overprice their products. The companies are just going to do what

Nestle did some time back to get the price equation right.

(a) Why has the volume of sales of the detergents increased? [2]

(b) In view of the fact that unbranded products have posed a challenge to the branded

items, do you think branding is useless? Give reasons for your answer. [3]

(c) If the FMCG companies have to reduce prices further, will that mean that the pricing

decisions taken earlier were faulty? [5]

(d) In addition to price cuts, what other measures should the FMCG firms take to ensure

the growth of their detergent brands in future? [5]

Question No 3 25

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

It was eleven oclock on Tuesday evening. The three of us were sitting around in the living

room after supper. I had just opened another bottle and was pouring it out when I heard a

faint rumbling noise. At that time, I didnt pay much attention to it. Even when the noise got

louder and the windows began to rattle I wasnt particularly concerned. In fact, I was mildly

annoyed. I assumed it was an unusually heavy lorry coming up the road and I was justabout to come out with a few choice expletives directed at vehicles like this when the cups

in the kitchen and the jars on the shelf began to rattle as well.

I dont remember which one of us was the first to realize it was an earthquake. At any

rate, I had been disabused of the idea that it was just another lorry. By this time everything

inside the flat was shaking, rattling or wobbling, including the walls, ceiling and floor. It felt as

if some awful giant was venting his anger by holding the building and giving it a good shake.

For a moment, we sat motionless, transfixed with horror, shock or both. Then we all

sprang to our feet, with what purpose I cant really say. Not that it did much good anyway, as

we were all promptly thrown back into our seats. I had a terrible feeling of helplessness.

At a second attempt, we managed to stay on our feet and started making for the open

door out on to the balcony. When we got there we saw that there had been a power cut and

the whole city had been plunged into darkness. By this time the shaking had stopped and

everything seemed curiously still and quiet. For a moment it seemed as if a hand had

passed over the city and extinguished it like a candle. Although it had seemed like hours, the

quake had only lasted ten seconds or so.

Gradually, the sounds of life began again horns tooting, windows opening, voices. I

dont remember any screaming or shouting. Everything was strangely muted, disturbed

rather than desperate.

After a while, we went back into the house. There was no obvious damage. A few

books had fallen out of the shelves and the only thing broken was an egg cup. As we

listened for news on the radio over the next few hours, we realized we had been very lucky.

People nearby had had televisions and stereos smashed, and several villages outside the

city had been virtually flattened. Most people spent that night outside. Some people had to

spend weeks outside because their homes had been damaged.

We didnt. We lived at the top of a building, which is the safest place to be in an

earthquake, so we stayed put. At three oclock we even went to bed, which is where we

were when the first big aftershock came about two hours later.

It was quite a night.

(a) Four words/phrases are given below. Give the meaning of each as used in the passage.

One-word answers or short phrases will be accepted. [4]

(i) disabused (ii) venting his anger (iii) muted (iv) virtually flattened

(b) Answer the following questions briefly in your own words:

(i) What was the first sign of the earthquake? What was the writers reaction to the

sign? Why? [3]

(ii) When did the writer realize that the disturbance was an earthquake? [2]

(iii) Apart from the description of the shaking, what indicates that the earthquake was

quite strong? [2]

(iv) How much damage had the earthquake caused? [2]

(v) Why did the writer not go down to the street? [2]

(c) In not more than 60 words of your own, describe the signs and impact of the earthquake.
