Answers
1. (d)
2. (c) Buffer inventory is required as insurance to protect customers from stockouts of finished product inventory.
3. (b)
Value after a quarter = 
Value after four quarters = 
Effective rate of return = 
4. (b)
The following three reasons are mainly attributed to the occurrence of roof-fall accidents:
- effects of mining-induced stress and tectonic stress,
- existence of equipment cavern on the side of the roadway, and
- unreasonable support parameters.
5. (a)
6. (c) Shale is probably the most common roof rock above coal beds. Many shales offer good, or at least predictable, roof conditions. Weak or soft shales, however, include moisture-sensitive shales, clay stones, coaly shales, or rash, and shales immediately above coal beds, termed “draw slates” or “draw rock,” which are prone to small falls.
7. (d) CO₂ extinguishers: These contain only pressurised carbon dioxide gas and therefore leave no residue. They are suitable for use on fires involving burning liquids (Class B), and electrical fires, such as large computer equipment, so are practical in offices. CO₂ works by suffocating the fire and does not cause damage to the electrical items or cause the system to short circuit.
8. (b) The main consideration in deciding the size of the panel is the incubation period of the coal seam. The size is so fixed that the entire panel can be extracted within the incubation period without the occurrence of spontaneous fire. The period in Indian coalfields generally varies between 6 to 12 months. The other factor that influences the size is the rate at which extraction is done. With high rates of extraction made possible by mechanization, the size of the panel can be significantly increased. The extraction rate from depillaring districts in Indian coalfield averages about 250-300 tons per day per panel.
9. (e)
10. (d) One important objective of an HR audit is to review the performance of the Human Resource Department and its relative activities like manpower planning and recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, etc. in order to assess the effectiveness on the implementation of the various policies to realize the Organizational goals.
