Q.38-41. Read the following paragraph and asnwer the questions based on it.
Many organisatins are concerned at the sustained increase in food prices, as indicated by recent
data releases. Inflation in food articles has remained in double digits for six months in a row and
has risen to 20% in the first week of December 2009. It is also apparent that the main driver of
inflation is the increase in food prices, as WPI inflation outside the food and food products
universe continues to be subdued and in some cases negative. This unprecedented increase in
food prices has been caused primarily by supply side factors primarily due to decline in the
kharif output. The price increase has been particularly severe in the case of products such as
cereals (rice), pulses, vegetables (potatoes) and sugar. The rise in the price of essential
commodities will put pressure on the disposable income of the common people and may restrict
the monetary and fiscal space for maneuverability, said Mr. Chandrajit Banerjee, Director
General, CII. CII suggests the some measures to respond to food price inflation. In the Short
term, CII strongly feels that the government needs to urgently respond by offloading its stock of
grains, which are currently far in excess of the buffer norms. State governments, in particular,
need to put in place mechanisms for the widespread distribution of wheat and rice in order to
check the shortages.

Q. 38 Why satet government needs to put its widespread distribution of wheat and rice in place?
1. As the are the main suppliers of main commodaties.
2. Lack of communication between state and centre governmenent has led to unprecedented rise
in food items.
3. Both 1 and 2 are applicable
4. None of these

Q. 39 what has trigerred food items price to never before level?
1. Lack of good rain for two consecutives years
2. Illegal stock piling for food grains
3. Farmers inclination towards other high yield crops
4. None of these

Q. 40 What is the true indication of rising food items cost?
a. WPI
b. YoY data
c. Media
d. Cant be determined from the passage

Q. 41 The price increase has been particularly severe in the case of products except
1. cereals
2. vegetables
3. sugar
4. dairt products
