A product line strategy wherein a company adds a higher priced product to a line in order to attract a broader market which helps the sale of its existing lower priced products is called ________.

  1. trading up

  2. trading down

  3. life cycle extension

  4. product line extension


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Trading up is a type of selling in which the customer is persuaded to buy a more expensive item, or a larger quantity of the same item than originally intended in exchange for an attractive discount or some other incentive. 

Availability and ______ of the product was considered to be the key to the success of a firm.

  1. Accountability

  2. Affordability

  3. Price

  4. Quality


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The industrial revolution was the transition to new manufacturing process in the period from 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This transition includes going from hand production methods to  machine, new chemical manufacturing and iron production process. This gave rise to the development of machine tools and factory system. Due to this vast production, the  products were made affordable for the consumers by decreasing the production cost.

Packaging affects our buying decision.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Product packaging is the process of designing, evaluating and designing packages that protect the products from spoilage, helps in easy transportation and also provide information about the product to consumers. Product promotion is the new consideration as packaging with the help of attractive designs and colors help in drawing people's attention towards the product. This leads to increase sales.

Products can be classified in two categories.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A product is an item offered for sale. It can be an item or a service, virtual or cyber form. Every product is made at a cost and each is sold at a price. The product should be relevant, the users must have an immediate use for it. It can be classified into two categories i.e industrial products which are used to produce further products for consumer use and consumer products which is also known as final good that can be used by consumers. 

______ can be defined as anything that can be offered to a market to satisfy a want or a need.

  1. Product

  2. Market

  3. Package

  4. Price


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A product is an item offered for sale. It can be an item or a service, virtual or cyber form. Every product is made at a cost and each is sold at a price. The product should be relevant, the users must have an immediate use for it.

In a population, which is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium the recessive allelic frequency is $0.8$, in a population of $1300$. Find out the number of dominantindividuals in that ppulation, if the gene in reference has only two alleles   

  1. $416$

  2. $468$

  3. $640$

  4. $52$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Recessive freq $= q= 0.8$
$q^2 = (0.8)^2 =0.64$  
$p^2 + q^2 = 1$  
$1 - q^2 = p^2$ 
$ p^2 = 1 - 0.64= 0.36$ 
$0.36 \times 1300 = 468$

If the frequency of a dominant phenotype in a stable population is $75\%$, the frequency of recessive allele in that population would be?

  1. $0.375$

  2. $0.25$

  3. $0.75$

  4. $0.50$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If dominant phenotype percentage is given, we come to know about the percentage of homozygous recessive in population: which in this case is $25$%. Thus frequency of recessive allele is $0.50$.

So, the correct option is '0.50'.

The logistic population growth model, dN/dt = rN (K N/K), describes a populations growth when an upper growth is assumed. This upper limit to growth is known as the population's___  ,and as N gets larger,dN/dt________

  1. Biotic potential, increases

  2. Biotic potential, decreases

  3. Carrying capacity, increases

  4. Carrying capacity, decreases


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • The logistic population growth model is represented by :
dN/dt = rN (K-N/ K)
Where, N = Population density at time t
r = Intrinsic rate of natural increase
K = Carrying capacity
  • In nature, a given habitat has enough resources to support a maximum possible number, beyond which no further growth is possible. This limit is known as nature’s carrying capacity (K) for that species in that habitat.
  • As the value of N increases, the rate of growth dN/dt decreases. 
So, the correct option is 'Carrying capacity, decreases'.
