PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)
It is a brutal management technique in which bosses
grade their employees performance along a vitality curve
and sack those who fall into the lowest category. Known
as ranking and yanking, it had its heyday in the 1980s
and 1990s. In America its popularity faded somewhat after
it was seen to have contributed to the fall of Enron. Now it
is back in the headlines.
All Things D, a tech-industry website, reported that
Yahoo staff are increasingly unhappy about a quarterly
performance review introduced last year by the new boss,
Marissa Mayer. The grading exercise is said to have cost
600 of them their jobs.
Microsoft announced that its own, equally unpopular,
system was being scrapped. In a memo, Lisa Brummel,
Microsofts head of human resources, said there would be
no more ratings and no more curve. The firm would
implement a fundamentally new approach designed to
encourage teamwork and collaboration.
Many firms, from Amazon to PwC, still use some
version of what management theorists also call stack
ranking to sort the sheep from the goats in their workforce.
However, many of them enforce it more flexibly than seems
to have been the case at Microsoft or Yahoo. Even General
Electric, which pioneered the technique during the
uncompromising reign of Neutron Jack Welch (GEs boss
from 1981 to 2001), has since softened its approach.
The reason such gradings have not died out entirely
is because employers still need to find ways to fairly
evaluate their employees and have a basis for
compensation differences. This is especially true when
there is a wide gap between the remuneration of top
performers and the rest. To avoid lawsuits claiming unfair
discrimination, firms need to be able to show they have a
clear basis for decisions on pay and bonuses.
Ranking and yanking is more logical in investment
banks, law and accountancy firms and big consultancies:
their business model is, in a sense, built on recruiting large
numbers of junior staff and motivating them with the
prospect of becoming a partner, even though in practice
only a few of them can ever make it. In other types of
business, the evidence suggests that it may work at first, if
a firm needs to cut away dead wood. But the benefit can
disappear and turn into a cost if the ranking and yanking is
done repeatedly.
196. What is the meaning of the phrase ranking and
yanking as used in the given passage?
(A) It is a technique in which employees are
downgraded and are given less remuneration.
(B) It is a management technique in which the
performance of the employees is measured. They
are ranked for their good performance and pulled
down to the lowest category if they do not live
up to the expectation of their firms.
(C) It is a grading system in which employers seek to
find out the fair basis for compensating the loss
of their employees.
(D) None of these
197. Why does Lisa Brummel discourange the rating
system?
(A) Because it discourages the sense of obedience
and dedication towards their work among the
employees.
(B) Because it creates a sense of jealousy among the
employees towards those who are ranked and
given high remuneration.
(C) Because it discourages teamwork and
collaborative effort among the employees.
(D) All the above
198. Which of the following is not true according to the
passage?
(A) The reason why grading systems have not been
scrapped so far is because till date they serve as
a yardstick to appraise their employees and have
a basis for compensation differences.
(B) Rating system can never in any way discourage
 teamwork and collaboration. (C) The new system introduced by Marissa Mayer

Let triangle ABC be an is isosceles triangle 116. A; We have,
Here AB = AC = 10 cm x cot 45.sin 60 = cos 60.tan60
