First we should know some mathematical operations. They are add (+), subtraction (–), multiply (×) and division (÷), greater than (>), less than (<). This test is set up to test candidates skill in mathematical operations. The questions involving these operations are set using artificial symbols. You are required to substitute the real signs and solve the questions accordingly, to get the answer.

NEUTRINOS are teeny, tiny, nearly massless particles that travel at near lightspeeds. Born from violent astrophysical events like exploding stars and gamma ray bursts, they are fantastically abundant in the universe, and can move as easily through lead as we move through air. But they are notoriously difficult to pin down.

Dr. C. Rangarajan, Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister released the document ‘Review of the Economy 2011-12’ at a Press Conference in New Delhi today. Following is the summary of the document:

Review of the Economy 2011-12

• The rate of growth in 2011-12 is estimated at 7.1%, which is marginally higher than the projection of 6.9% as per the Advance Estimates (AE). The council projects a slightly higher growth for agriculture and construction than the Advance Estimates.
• Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) as a proportion of GDP had reached a peak of 32.9 per cent in 2007/08, the year preceding the global crisis. It dropped to 32.3 per cent in 2008/09 and then to 31.6 per cent in 2009/10. Initial estimates are that in 2010/11 this ratio slipped further to 30.4 per cent. The AE for 2011/12 suggest that there may have been further slippage to 29.3 per cent. That is a decline of almost 4 percentage points over the last four years.

Dr. C. Rangarajan, Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister released the document ‘Review of the Economy 2011-12’ at a Press Conference in New Delhi today. Following are the highlights of the document:

Review of the Economy 2011-12

• The rate of growth in 2011-12 is now estimated at 7.1%, which is marginally higher than the projection of 6.9% as per the Advance Estimates (AE). The Council projects a slightly higher growth for agriculture and construction than the Advance Estimates.
• Investment activity has slowed down and as a result the Gross fixed Capital formation (GFCF) for 2011/12 has slipped to 29.3 per cent, a decline of almost 4 percentage points over the last four years.
• Global economic and financial conditions likely to remain under pressure during the year.
