MAH MBA CET Verbal Ability Questions for Practice

Adversity like that faced by the Swiss watchmakers has the virtue of starkly limiting the alternatives. A company that decides to expand by acquisition has the wide world of commerce before it, subject only to availability and price. The plethora of choices is one explanation of the many poor selections. The best decisions follow when the purpose is most clearly defined. At least the decision maker then knows exactly what he is trying to achieve and why. The Swiss were trying to achieve survival - an aim so ‘transcendent’ that the “why” needn’t be asked. The only important question was “How,” and the only answer (which their Japanese rivals have always chosen as the most rewarding approach) is to probe for weakness of the opposition, and then to kick the Achilles heel with steel-tipped boots. In this instance, the weakness (to which Japanese business is strangely prone) was lack of modern fashion sense. The electronic timepieces were being sold as wrist machinery; that gave Swiss Company its opportunity.

Q 1:  In the context of the passage which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “plethora” as given in bold.

  1. paucity
  2. Nature

      3.Quanlity

  1. Excess
  2. Other than those given as options

Answer: Excess

Q.2. Which of the following was true in the case of business difficulties of the Swiss watch makers as per the passage?

(1) The Swiss watch maker had virtually no limitation of available choices for taking decision in the instant case of difficulties.

(2) A large number of available alternatives would have probably made the Swiss Watch makers’ decision making process better.

 (3) The limited number of available choices in the instant situation made the Swiss Watch makers’ decision making process easier.

(4) The Swiss watch makers lacked clarity about the objective to be achieved.

(5) Other than those given as options

Answer: Option 1

Q.3. Which of the following holds good in the case of Swiss or Japanese watch making companies?

(1) Japanese watch making companies had rewarding experience in regard to wrist watches because of their modern fashion sense.

(2) In the past, Swiss watch companies were always probing for the weakness of their rival Japanese companies to succeed in competition.

(3) The Japanese watch companies were having tough time from their strong Swiss rivals.

(4) The solution to the problem of Swiss Companies was in the weakness of Japanese companies lacking in modern fashion for wrist watches.

(5) Other than those given as options

Answer: Option 4

Q.4. The following sentence is broken into 4 parts. Find out if any of the part has an error, and the number of that part is your answer. If no part has an error, your answer is ‘No error’. (Please, do no look for an error in punctuation).

  1. Dara, being an excellent football player
  2. received a fabulous offer
  3. to join the popular football club
  4. of the football-fan country, Italy.
  5. No error

Answer: Option 3

Q&A Icon
Commonly asked questions
Q:   Is there negative marking in MAH MBA CET?
A: 

There is no negative marking in MAH MBA CET. Every question carries 1 mark. No marks are deducted for making incorrect attempt or leaving questions. However, candidates must avoid guess work and try to solve questions first before marking an answer. 

Q:   What is the marking scheme of MAH CET MBA?
A: 

The marking scheme of MAH MBA CET is very straightforward. The total marks is 200 hundred for 200 questions. Which means, every question carries one mark. There is no negative marking. In case of incorrect attempt, candidates will be marked zero. If they skip a question, even then they will be marked zero. Total marks of a candidate will be calculated out 200 on the basis of their total number of correct attempt.

Section wise the marks allotment is as follows:

  • Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension: 50 marks
  • Logical Reasoning: 75 marks
  • Abstract Reasoning: 25 marks
  • Quantitative Aptitude: 50 marks

Q:   Is there negative marking in MAH CET MBA exam?
A: 

MAH CET is one of the few MBA entrance exams in India which does not have negative marking. For each correct attempt, one mark is awarded to the candidate but no marks are deducted for wrong answers or unattempted questions. The total marks of MBA CET are 200 and candidates need not worry about making incorrect attempt. They must however avoid random selection of options as correct answers. They should take time in understanding the question and then choose the option. It is not mandatory to solve all the questions in MAH CET so candidates can spend some time on the questions and then answers. The exam will be of 2.5 hours and if they answers 75-80 questions correctly, they stand to gain a good percentile.

Q:   Is the question paper of one MAH CET session different from another?
A: 

The question paper of all the MAH CET MBA sessions are different from each other. The test pattern and structure of the MAH MBA CET question papers is the same but one of them could be slightly easier or tougher as no question is repeated in any session. Every MAH CET session has a question paper with unique questions. The number of questions per section also varies from one session to another. This makes one session of the MAH CET exam slightly tougher than another.

The MAH MBA CET exam is always held in multiple sessions. The number of sessions can differ from one year to another.

To negate the advantage or disadvantage to a student over another due to differences in the difficult levels, the MAH CET Cell normalizes scores of all candidates on a common scale to calculate percentile.
