SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. If (B) is the first sentence of the paragraph so formed after the
rearrangement, the statement (I) does not seem to be the part of the paragraph.
The first statement of the paragraph gives a valid clue that the theme of the
paragraph revolves around the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to keep the repo
rate unchanged. However, the statement (I) makes out a different topic which is
contextually incorrect; it is about the healthcare financing scheme which has
no relevance with any other statement of the paragraph. Hence option (b) is the
correct choice.

contextually incorrect; it is about the healthcare financing scheme which has
no relevance with any other statement of the paragraph. Hence option (b) is the
correct choice.
S2. Ans. (a)
Sol. The sentence (a) makes a proper and logical connection with the
sentence (H) as the mention of statistical range of 4.3-4.7% as the projection
for inflation by the RBI in December gives an indication that the sentence (a)
would follow the sentence coherently. There is a clear connection between the
two statements as the sentence (a) also states that the estimate for retail
price gains in the fourth quarter may go up to 5.1%. The other options are,
however, out of the context and do not make any logical combination with the
coherent paragraph so formed. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. If (B) is the first sentence of the coherent paragraph, the
combination of sentences (A) and (E) makes a valid and appropriate connection
with each other. It can be viewed by reading the sentence (A) properly which
mentions that the bank’s rate-setting panel must have had little difficulty
after the decision was taken by the RBI. The sentence finds a suitable
connection with the sentence (E) which also mentions about the reversal in
stance of the six-member panel’s hitherto most dovish member, Ravindra H.
Dholakia. Thus, the latter sentence follows the former one coherently and meaningfully
which is not the case with the other combinations given as options. Hence
option (d) is the correct choice.

S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. If (B) is the first and (H) is the last statements, the sentences
in the sequence of BAEFCGDH form a
coherent paragraph which is about the implications of the current decision
taken by the RBI to keep the repo rate unchanged. The question can be quickly
solved by taking the help of previous questions asked in the format. In the
previous question, it is clearly mentioned that the sentence (C) follows the
sentence (F) after the correct rearrangement of sentences and elimination of
the incoherent one. This can be visualized in the option (c) only. Other
sequences are not in proper order to make the paragraph coherent. Hence option
(c) is the correct choice.
