IBPS Clerk Reading Comprehension Test 01

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given after it. On a busy lane in the city, Rani sells vegetables from a cart. Until two years ago, every sale ended the same way: a search for change. Customers handed her hundred-rupee notes for purchases of thirty or forty rupees, and she often had to borrow coins from the tea seller next door. Then her son pasted a small printed square on the cart, and everything changed. Customers now point their phones at the square, type the amount, and walk away. The square is a QR code linked to her bank account, and the payment reaches her in seconds. Rani no longer loses sales for want of change, and she no longer carries a bundle of notes home at night. Her bank, which once saw her only when she deposited cash, can now see a steady record of her daily sales. On the strength of that record, it offered her a small loan to buy a second cart. What began as a way to avoid loose change has quietly become her financial history, written one small payment at a time.
