Question : Which sector witnessed increased competition due to liberalization in India?
Option 1: Agriculture
Option 2: Education
Option 3: Health care
Option 4: Telecom and communication
Correct Answer: Telecom and communication
Solution : The correct answer is (d) Telecom and communication
Liberalization in India brought about significant changes in various sectors, and one of the sectors that witnessed increased competition as a result was the telecom and communication sector.
Prior to liberalization, the telecom sector in India was dominated by the state-owned telecommunications company, providing limited services and experiencing inefficiencies. With the introduction of liberalization policies, the sector was opened up to private players, leading to increased competition and the entry of new telecom companies.
Increased competition in the telecom sector resulted in better quality services, expanded coverage, and lower costs for consumers. It also spurred innovation, investment in infrastructure, and the adoption of advanced technologies, contributing to the rapid growth and transformation of the sector in India.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
There are still 10,000 or so red telephone boxes on Britain’s streets, including Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s 1924 Kiosk 2 prototype, which you will find outside the Royal Academy on Piccadilly in London. The K2 was voted the greatest British design of all time in 2015. But what is to be done with them in the age of the smartphone? Some have found new life as mini-libraries, many house defibrillators; others are used as coffee stands and most are purely decorative. Meanwhile, if you’re nostalgic for the days when telephone boxes were handsome, useful items of street furniture, you can buy a K6 box for £2,750 (plus VAT and delivery) through BT’s approved reseller, X2Connect.
John Farmer, who describes himself as an activist shareholder, is a man with a mission – to save Britain’s red phone boxes. These were once a feature of every high street in the country, but now number only 10,000 or so (and half of those are decorative rather than operational).In 2015 the traditional red phone box was voted the greatest British design of all time, ahead of the Routemaster bus, the Spitfire, the Union Jack and Concorde. There are still numerous Scott kiosks in central London, many of which have been listed as historically or architecturally significant – a response to the destruction of many boxes by the newly formed British Telecom in the 1980s.Across the UK, more than 3,000 kiosks have been listed, including all the K2s, so there is no danger of them disappearing from Britain’s streets. Since 2008, rather than remove decommissioned ones that have not been listed, BT has allowed local councils and charities to repurpose them under its adopt-a-kiosk scheme. More than 5,000 have been adopted.
Scott’s kiosks are loved in part because they are redolent of a time when the British were willing to build a small house from which anyone could make a call. They represent civic pride and national confidence – both are now in short supply.
Question:
How many red phone boxes are only decorative and not in a working condition?
Option 1: 10000
Option 2: 5000
Option 3: 2700
Option 4: 3000
Correct Answer: 5000
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
The passage mentions that out of the approximately 10,000 red telephone boxes on Britain's streets, about half of them are decorative rather than operational.
Therefore, around 5,000 red phone boxes are only decorative and not in working condition.
The passage also notes that since 2008, BT has allowed local councils and charities to repurpose decommissioned phone boxes under its adopt-a-kiosk scheme, and more than 5,000 have been adopted. This suggests that a significant portion of the red phone boxes, including some that are not operational, have been repurposed for various uses rather than being removed.

Hello,
With your CAT percentile and work experience in the telecom industry, you have a good chance of getting admission to some reputed MBA/PGDM colleges. While I do not have access to specific admission criteria for each college, I can provide some general guidance. GIM Goa, or Goa Institute of Management, is a well-regarded B-school. Your CAT percentile and work experience make you a competitive candidate for admission. However, admission decisions also depend on various other factors like academic records, extracurricular activities, and performance in the selection process, which includes group discussions and personal interviews.
