Passage 1 Letter writing is all but a lost art, but to some extent, it has been replaced by telephone and other modern means of communication. Listening is a lost art, which must be rediscovered. Few people truly listen to others, usually because they are too busy thinking about what they want to say next.

Genuine listening to what others want would allow more sales in business, more deals to be closed and greater productivity too. Although it is not always possible to satisfy all the wants of others, understanding them is the glue of a relationship. Not paying value by listening is a way of saying, You are not important to me. The results are reduced productivity and employee turnover, and absenteeism. Retaliation increases as they feel that they are heard only when the griping gets loud enough.

Question (171) In the division calculation 952473 18, which two adjacent digits should be swapped in order to increase the result by 100? 952473 18 क भषग क गणनष म, क न-स द परस पर अ क बदल जषन चषदहए स जसस उत तर 100 बढ़ जषए? (A) 9 and/तथष 5 (B) 5 and/तथष 2 (C) 2 and/तथष 4 (D) 4 and/तथष 7 If after division by 18 the number has to be increased by 100, then before the division it needs to be increased by 18 100 = 1800. If 952473 is increased by 1800 it becomes 952 473 + 1800 = 954 273. We obtain 954273 from 952473 by swapping the adjacent digits 2 and 4. Question (172)
