IBPS Clerk Prelims Full Mock Test 08

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given after it. Every morning at six, Prakash opens the shutter of his small grocery shop in a Jaipur lane. For twenty years he sold goods on credit to families he knew, writing their dues in a thick red register. At the end of each month, he would visit their homes to collect the money. Some paid on time, some paid late, and a few never paid at all. Two years ago, his nephew installed a billing app on Prakash's phone. The app records every sale, sends customers a polite reminder when their dues cross a limit and shows Prakash, at a glance, how much money is owed to him. At first Prakash doubted that a phone could replace his register. But within a few months he noticed that customers paid faster after receiving reminders, and he no longer had to spend his Sundays going from door to door. The app also showed him something he had never measured: which products sold quickly and which sat on the shelves for weeks. He stopped ordering slow-moving items and used the money to stock more of what his customers wanted. His profit rose, even though his sales did not change much. Prakash still keeps the red register, out of habit. But he admits that the small screen in his hand has taught him more about his own business than twenty years of experience.
