This IBPS & SBI Exam special quiz series will mold your preparations in the right direction and the regular practice of these quizzes will be really very helpful in scoring good marks in the Examination. Here we are providing you the important question of reasoning ability for the IBPS & SBI Exam.
1-5. In the following passage there are blanks each of which has been numbered. These numbers are given below the passage and against each five words have been suggested, one of which fits the blanks appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case.
The Arctic Ocean has inflows coming from the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. In this, the top layers consist of cooler and less saline water and below that is a layer of water coming from the Atlantic Ocean which is more saline and warmer, too. The effect of salinity wins over that of temperature and so, though the water below is (A), it is heavier than the cooler, less saline layer on top.
“Warm, but salty water — ultimately originating from the Atlantic Ocean resides near the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. If (B) could somehow mix this water with that above, then, eventually, the surface could warm more rapidly, and this would increase the rate of sea-ice melt. One mechanism for mixing is the result of breaking internal waves,” says the University the author of a paper.
The internal movement of water within seas from cold, dense regions to warmer, lighter ones constitutes the largest (C) waves. These can stretch to wavelengths of over a hundred metres and travel from top to bottom. Like normal water waves, these propagate due to a variation of density of the water and not when there is constant density. In a staircase-like formation, though the density is constant within the step, there is a jump in density from one step to another. Hence, the wave’s energy can be (D) from one interface to another.
Though not (E), thermohaline staircases do occur in many places. “As well as the Arctic, they are persistent in the Caribbean Sea. This is due to surface heating and evaporation resulting in warm salty water overlying colder fresher water. They do not exist where there are strong currents, as in the Antarctic, which have enough energy to stir up any staircases that might form,” says the author.

A. The Ministry of Commerce must be cautious of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), such as the ones it is presently negotiating with the European Union that further strengthen or extend intellectual property monopolies.
B. When generic substitutes are not available in India --- for instance due to patent monopoly --- it leads to high pricing of medicines as only the proprietary companies can manufacture them.
C. India is at the centre of the world's generic drug production as it is one of the few countries with the technical capacity to produce raw materials,
D. These will subsequently delay generic competition and the associated drop in prices, which will have a negative impact upon access to affordable medicines from domestic producers.
E. They become inaccessible to manufacturers at large and their high prices place them out of reach for the majority of patients who need them.
F. Also known as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), and formulations of newer medicines as generics. Medicines produced by generics companies in India are among the most affordable in the world.
