| Rahul Parik | Re: Previous year question papers of TANCET exam Here you want previous year question papers of TANCET Entrance Exam for MBA Admission, so I am giving following papers: TANCET Exam MBA Entrance Exam Paper Directions for questions 1 – 20: This section comprises two passages. After each passage questions consisting of items relating to the Preceding passage are given. Evaluate each item separately in terms of the respective passage and choose your answer PASSAGE – I (Questions 1 – 10) The Shop-O-shelf Company's supermarkets are situated in Bangalore, Coimbatore and Vellore. The company is dynamic and aggressive having grown from 8 stores ten years ago to 26 today. Kanchipuram is a town 60 miles from Vellore. It has not shown the spectacular growth of other suburbs, but its population has increased from around 56,000 to 1, 30,000 in the past decade. With no other Shop-O-Self supermarket within 20 miles of the area, Shop-O-Self Company is considering opening a store in Kanchipuram. The Arguments against: some Shop-O-Self executives oppose the project as a poor risk. They point to the proposed site, which is in a shopping centre three miles from Kanchipuram business district. Two other food chains have failed on this site because they claim; most new residences are on the other side of the community. Moreover, the shopping centre owners demand a five year lease. Shop-O-Self would have to try to find another business to take over the lease should its own store fail before the end of that time. If a Shop-O-Self market must be opened in Kanchipuram, it would be far better, these executives argue, to build it in the heart of the community. But they point out, another supermarket is already there. The Arguments for: The Majority of the executives maintain that the site has great potential. A new east-west highway is being built which will pass Kanchipuram to the north and force the car commuters to Kanchipuram to pass by the shopping centre. A housing project of 3, 000 units is going to be constructed nearby. The average household is expected to consist of five people with over Rs. 30,000 of income to dispose of annually. 1. The residents at the projected residential development will shop in the Kanchipuram store (a) If the item is a Major Objective in making the decision: that is, the outcome or result sought by the decision maker (b) If the item is a Major Factor in arriving at the decision; that is consideration, explicity mentioned in the passage that is basic in determining the decision (c) If the item is a Minor Factor in making the decision: a less important element bearing on or affecting a Major Factor, rather than a Major Objective directly. (d) If the item is a Major Assumption made deliberately; that is a supposition or projection made by the decision maker before considering the factors and alternatives. (e) If the item is an unimportant issue in getting to the point; that is a factor that is insignificant or not immediately relevant to the situation. 2. Poor management causing past supermarket failures. (a) If the item is a Major Objective in making the decision: that is, the outcome or result sought by the decision maker. (b) If the item is a Major Factor in arriving at the decision; that is consideration, explicity mentioned in the passage that is basic in determining the decision.

Which of the following titles best summarises the passage as a whole? 1) At the threshold of Neutrino Astronomy 2) Neutrinos and the history of universe 3) The creations and the study of Neutrinos 4) The Dumand system and how it works 5) The properties of Neutrino 32. Which of the following statements regarding neutrino astronomy would the author is most likely to agree? 1) Neutrino astronomy will supersede all present forms of astronomy 2) Neutrino astronomy will be abandoned if the Dumand project fails 3) Neutrino astronomy can be expected to lead to major breakthrough in astronomy 4) Neutrino astronomy will disclose phenomena that will be more surprising than pas discoveries 5) Neutrino astronomy will always be characterised by a large time lag between hypothesis and experimental configuration. 33. In the last paragraph the author describes the development of astronomy in order to 1) Suggest that the potential findings of neutrino astronomy can be seen as part of a series of astronomical success 2) Illustrate the role of surprise in scientific discovery 3) Demonstrate the effectiveness of the Dumand apparatus in detecting neutrinos 4) Name some cosmic phenomena that neutrino astronomy will illuminate 5) Contrast the motivation of earlier astronomers with that of the astrophysicists, working on the Dumand project 34. The passage states that interactions between neutrinos and other matters are 1) Rare 2) Artificial 3) Unpredictable 4) Undetectable 5) Hazardous 35. According to the passage, one advantage that neutrinos have for studies in astronomy is that key 1) Have been detected for the last twenty five years 2) Possess a variable electric charge 3) are usually extremely massive 4) Carry information about their history with them 5) are very similar to other electromagnetic particles 36. According to the passage, the primary use of the apparatus mentioned would be to 1) Increase the mass of a neutrino 2) Interpret information neutrinos carry with them 3) Study the internal structure of a neutrino 4) See neutrinos in distant regions of space 5) Detect the presence of cosmic neutrinos 37. The passage mentions which of the following as a reason that neutrinos are hard to detect? 1) Their pervasiveness in the universe 2) Their ability to escape from different regions of space 3) The inability to penetrate dense matter 4) The similarity of their structure to that of nucleons 5) The infrequency of their interaction with other matter 38. According to the passage, the interaction of a neutrino with other can produce 1) Particles that are neutral and massive 2) A form of radiation that permeates the universe 3) In accurate information about the site and circumstances of neutrino’s production 4) charged particles and light 5) A situation in which light and other forms of electromagnetic radiations are blocked 39. According to the passage, one of the methods used to establish the properties of neutrinos was 1) Detection of photons 2) Observation of interaction of neutrinos'with gamma rays 3) Observation of neutrinos that were artificially created 4) Measurement of neutrinos that interacted with particles of sea water 5) Experiments with electromagnetic radiation 40. The strongest motivation for the Dumand project is 1) That it will detect the presence of cosmic neutrinos 2) That it will exploit an important source of information about the universe 3) That measurement of neutrinos is possible 4) That it will suggest the potential of neutrino astronomy 5) That will doubtlessly bring its own share of surprises SECOND PASSAGE It is riot easy to write a familiar style. Many people mistake familiar for a vulgar style, and suppose that to write without affection is to write at random. On the contrary there is nothing that requires more precision and, if I may so say purity of expression than the style I am speaking of. It utterly rejects not only all unmanning pomp, but all new, cant phrases and loose, unconnected slipshod allusion. It is not to take first word that offers, but the best in common use; it is not to throw words together in any combinations we please, but to follow and avail ourselves of the idiom of the language. To write a genuine, familiar or truly English style to write as any one would speak in common conversation who had a thorough command over choice of words, or who discourses with ease, force and perspicuity, setting aside all pedantic and oratorical flourishes. Or, to give another illustration, to write naturally is the easy thing to give the true accent and inflection to the words you utter, because you do not attempt to rise above the level of ordinary life and colloquial speech. You do not assume, indeed, the solemnity of the pulpit, or tone of stage declamation, neither or you at liberty to gabble on at a venture, without emphasis or discretion, or to resort to vulgar dialect or clownish pronunciation. You must steer a middle course. You are tied down to a given appropriate articulation, which you can do only by entering into the author's meaning, as you must find the proper words and style to express yourself by fixing your thoughts on the subject you have to write about any one may write a passage with a propriety and simplicity is more difficult task. Thus it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use so word twice for the thing you want to express; it is not so easy to pitch upon that very word that exactly fits in. Out of eight or ten words common, equally intelligible, with nearly equal pretensions, it is a matter of some nicety and discrimination to pick out the one the preferabteness of which is scarcely preceptible, but decisive. Questions: 41. According to the passage 1) One should be permitted to speak in any way he wishes to 2) ‘Getting on stilts’ should aid one in speaking more effectively 3) It is easier to write pompously than simply 4) The preacher is a model of good speech 5) A grammatical background is not necessary for good writing 42. When the writer says "you must steer a middle course", he means that 1) You should speak neither too loudly nor too softly 2) You should speak neither too formally nor too colloquially 3) You should write as well as speak 4) You should not come to any definite conclusion about what is proper or not proper in speech 5) You should write neither too fast nor too slowly 43. "Cant Phrases" means 1) A type of language which is peculiar to a particular class 2) A sing-song type of speech 3) Expressions which consistently indicate refusal to do another’s bidding 4) Obscene language 5) Obsolete expressions 44. the author mentions all of the following important to good speech, except 1) A good command of English vocabulary 2) The careful selection of words used 3) The use of allusions and metaphors 4) Straight forward and precise delivery 5) The placing of emphasis on important words and phrases 45. The author 1) is critical of the person who converses in a manner which is easy to understand 2) Implies that foreigners do not speak well 3) Feels that there is relationship between the sound of a word and its meaning 4) Criticizes pomposity of style more so than vulgarity style 5) Urges us to speak like an actor or the preacher SECTION III PROBLEM SOLVING Directions: For each of the following questions, select the choice which best answers the questions or completes the statement.
