Read the following passage and answer the questions.
All foodstuffs change. Green fruits become ripe and eggs go bad or rotten. It is the enzymes naturally present in each food which bring about the complex chemical changes that lead first to ripening and then to rotting.
How does one control the activity of enzymes, bacteria, yeasts and moulds in food? All of them require air, moisture and a certain temperature, usually somewhere near the body temperature, to be active. Depriving them of one or more of these will suppress them. All microorganisms can be killed by heat sterilisation. This simply means heating the food to high enough temperatures by boiling, deep or shallow frying, roasting, baking and, for milk particularly, pasteurisation. After such sterilisation, if the food is sealed in airtight containers, it can be kept for a long time. A certain water content in food is necessary for microorganisms to be active. Drying in the sun is a simple way of bringing down the moisture level so low that the enzymes and microorganisms cannot flourish.
Some chemicals can suppress undesirable activity. The addition of salt, vinegar, spices and oil or sugar syrup are other ways of preventing foods from going bad. If heating kills, freezing inactivates the enzymes and microorganisms. This is what happens in a refrigerator, in which fruits, vegetables and milk can be kept for fairly long periods. For meat and fish, even colder temperatures, below freezing point, are necessary for preservation. All foods which are kept cold in this way, once taken out and returned to room temperature, are again subject to spoilage and change.
Question: Boiling, frying, roasting and baking are methods of:
Option 1: sterilisation
Option 2: spoilage
Option 3: pasteurisation
Option 4: refrigeration
Correct Answer: sterilisation
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
The passage in the second paragraph mentions various methods such as boiling, frying, roasting and baking are all methods of sterilisation.
Question : Which of the following statements are correct with respect of the debt collection period?
Option 1: Increase in average collection period indicates the excessive blockage of funds with trade receivables which increases the chances of bad debts.
Option 2: A higher average collection period is thus, an indication of the inefficiency and negligency on the part of management.
Option 3: if there is decrease in average collection period, it indicates prompt payment by trade receivables which reduces the chances of bad debts.
Option 4: All of the above
Correct Answer: All of the above
Solution : Answer = All of the above.
An increase in the average collection period signals a potential risk of bad debts due to funds being tied up longer. A higher collection period reflects management inefficiency. Conversely, a decrease suggests prompt payment, reducing bad debt risks and indicating effective receivables management. Hence, the correct option is 4.

Question : The heads of two different departments at "Yamuna Ltd." are Aman and Ganga. They are effective managers who can inspire the staff in their particular departments to achieve better. The connection between the departments that Aman and Ganga are in charge of has been hampered by their desire to flourish in their individual fields rather than placing priority on the company's goals.
