CAT Question of the Day Answer the following questions based on the information given below.
Caffeine in no way mitigates coffee's therapeutic effects. Of course, what we choose to add to coffee can just as easily negate the benefits -- various sugar-sweetened beverages were all significantly associated with an increased risk of diabetes. A learned taste for cream and sugar (made all the more enticing when they're designed to smell like seasonal celebrations) is likely one of the reasons why we associate coffee more with decadence than prudence.
Why do we associate coffee more with decadence than prudence?
| OPTIONS | | |  | 1) | With coffee, people abandon caution in including substances as sugar or cream that negate the benefits of having coffee. | | | 2) | Coffee drinking people will find the news that coffee is beneficial quite welcoming. | | | 3) | Caffeine negates the benefits associated with coffee. | | | 4) | Most coffee drinkers are prudent because they stay away from substances that can harm such as sugar and cream. |
Tip of the Day There are very few B-school interviews where the interviewee can convincingly answer each and every question or has answers to every question. Last year's Question of the day (28-Jan-12) Population growth increased significantly as the Industrial Revolution gathered pace from 1700 onwards. The last 50 years have seen a yet more rapid increase in the rate of population growth due to medical advances and substantial increases in agricultural productivity, particularly beginning in the 1960s, made by the Green Revolution. In 2007 the United Nations Population Division projected that the world's population will likely surpass 10 billion in 2055. In the future, world population has been expected to reach a peak of growth, from there it will decline due to economic reasons, health concerns, land exhaustion and environmental hazards. According to one report, it is very likely that the world's population will stop growing before the end of the 21st century. Further, there is some likelihood that population will actually decline before 2100. Population has already declined in the last decade or two in Eastern Europe, the Baltics and in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Which of the following accurately sums up the trajectory of population growth?
| OPTIONS | | | | | 1) | Population started growing at a high rate from 1700 and reached a peak in 1960 with the Green Revolution. It will surpass 10 billion in 2055 and then start declining. | | | 2) | Population started growing because of two impetuses – the Industrial Revolution and the Green Revolution. It will start declining because of economic reasons, health concerns, land exhaustion and environmental hazards. | | | 3) | Population has grown substantially from 1700 and experienced a burst due to medical advances and the Green Revolution in the 1960s. It will surpass 10 billion in 2055; and start declining before 2100 because of various reasons. | | | 4) | The population that started growing with the Industrial Revolution is already showing a sharp decline in Eastern Europe, the Baltics and in the Commonwealth of Independent States. | | | 5) | Population will start declining before the end of the 21st century because of economic reasons, health concerns, land exhaustion and environmental hazards. |
