Since the 1980s, the biggest influence on business has been electronic
technology.
Computers are being used for inventory control, sales analysis and
forecasting, distribution control, and budget analysis. At-home electronic
shopping is becoming commonplace. With this system, consumers view
merchandise on a computer monitor and then use a modem, which links the
computer to a telephone line, to signal the goods they want to order. Just as
traveling salesman once brought wares to the home, electronic technology
makes it possible for modern consumers to see and select from any array of
goods in their homes.

ANALYTICAL REASONING

The questions in this section need simple analysis of the given

data and logical reasoning of the candidate. Each question or
group of questions is based on a passage or set of conditions,
and the candidate has to select the best answer choice.

Now Sony Electronics brings tomorrow's technology to today's home stereo.

The same space-age circuitry used by the Wanderer spacecraft to send
images of the most distant planets back to earth has been incorporated in
the new Sony X-2700 stereo system. If your home entertainment is
important to you, why settle for an old-fashioned stereo system when the
Sony X-2700 is priced at only a few rupees more?

11.The most serious logical weakness of this argument is its failure to

A. provide technical data on the manufacturing specifications of

the Sony X-2700
B. show the relevance of space-age circuitry to the requirements
of home stereo
C. specify the exact price difference between the Sony X-2700 and
old-fashioned stereo systems
D. acknowledge the contributions of scientists in the space
program to the development of the advanced circuitry
mentioned
E. explain the precise meaning of the technical terms used

According to Albert Einstein's famous theory of relativity, time travel is

theoretically possible. Assuming that time travel were to be made possible
through some technological breakthrough, it would be advantageous to
send someone back in time to prevent the assassination of Archduke Franz
Ferdinand in 1914 and thus keep World War I from ever occurring.

12.The argument above makes which of the following assumptions?

A. It is not possible to alter a significant current in world history

merely by changing a single event
B. The technology necessary for time travel is likely to be
developed in the near future
C. If Franz Ferdinand had not been assassinated, some other
catalytic event would have led to the start of World War I
D. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was the crucial event that
triggered the start of Word War I
E. If time travel were to be developed in the future, evidence of
time travelers would be apparent to those living today

A placebo is a chemically inert substance prescribed more for the mental

relief of a patient than for its effect on the patient's physical disorder. It is
prescribed in the hope of instilling in the patient a positive attitude toward
prospects for his or her recovery. In some cases, the placebo actually
produces improvement in the patient's condition. In discussing the use and
effect of placebos, a well-known medical researcher recently paid
physicians the somewhat offbeat compliment of saying that physicians were
the ultimate placebo.

13.By comparing a physician to a placebo, the researcher sought to imply

that

A. physicians should always maintain and communicate an

optimistic attitude toward their patients, regardless of the
prognosis
B. the health of some patients can improve simply from their
knowledge that they are under a physician's care
C. many patients actually suffer from imagined illnesses that are
best treated by placebos
D. physicians could prescribe less medication and achieve the
same effect
E. it is difficult to determine what, if any, effect a physician's
behavior has on a patient's condition

Manufacturers of household appliances in China are introducing an array of

computerized technologies in the work of many of their factories in an effort
to regain a lead eroded by international competition. On the basis of
changes that have already taken place, experts predict a golden age for the
consumer of better-designed and better-built products.

14.Which of the following, if true, would LEAST support the experts’ claim
that appliances produced by computerized technologies will be better
built?

A. Computerized inventory procedures ensure that parts are

ordered in sufficient quantities and that production moves
smoothly and consistently
B. Computer-directed machines carry out repetitive tasks with the
result that errors due to human fatigue are eliminated
C. Computer-controlled ultrasound devices are better able to
detect hidden flaws and defects that require repair than are
human inspectors
D. The flow of heat used to weld parts together is more consistent
when directed by computer programs and results in a more
accurate and uniform weld
E. Computer-driven screwdrivers ensure that screws used in
appliances will be consistently tight
