Training

Trinarnagar was famous for its rice cultivation. People say that only rice items are served here. Sir Yousuf Pir Sahibzada had made Trinarnagar his home. He was the world renowned motivator. His techniques in motivation and pep talks was supposed to be the best in the world. "He could make a rat feel like an elephant", is the common jargon associated with him.
Piramal wanted to send one of his juniors to undergo motivation program of Sahibzada, He felt Rajiv, Sukhwinder and Latif were a little de-motivated. A training under Sahibzada will only benefit them, he felt.
Piramal talked with Rajiv, Sukhwinder and Latif separately. Rajiv had told Piramal, "I do not believe Sir Sahibzada is world class.". Sukhwinder had told Piramal,"I have never eaten rice in my life.". Latif had told Piramal,"Sir Sahibzada belongs to a different subsect and there is prevailing enmity."
Who among Rajiv, Sukhwinder and Latif is automatically eliminated as a candidate?

His chief also an employee for 17 years; and in good terms with Raghav till recently, when a heated argument made the relationship bitter.
Raghav got the 20 bundles of A4 sheets. But Elangovan came to the seat of Raghav and told him "What do you plan to do with 30 bundles of A4 reams?". Raghav shouted back, "30? I think there is an error. I wanted only 20.".
Together they inspected the memo and found written 30. But there was overwriting.
Elangovan says," I take the responsibility that I have not changed 20 to 30."
Raghav says, "I vouch for my faithfulness that I did not cheat."

Fuel Saving

Peter was undoubtedly the best automobile engineer. He had a passion for cars. If the clutch mechanism was honey almond cake, then the differential was no less than a steaming, refreshing hot coffee.
Muller was a brand freak. He believed that quality matters and quality is because of the brand. Trust the brand and relax and enjoy the services of the car, he would say.
Peter decided to make a car. He knew what to do. Differential from Mamaguchhi, clutch from Tabayoko and so on. He was able to make a fine car.
Muller bought a car. A car of the finest quality. Of the same capacity as the one Peter made.
Which of these will be fuel efficient?

Towers of Cards

Radha and Sunaina were proficient in building towers with cards. Laila was a spoil sport. She would wait for the tower to fall on its own due to unskilled card placement or she would just pull a card from a finished structure.
Radha decided to make a tower of a cylinder as high as possible. Sunaina wanted to build a Qutab Minar shape with cards. Laila was secretly observing their work from a hidden place and was waiting for the completion of structure and then pull a card.
Radha kept building the tower of a cylinder. Sunaina was able to complete her Qutab Minar, when Laila removed one card from Sunaina's structure and make the Qutab Minar fall down.
Laila proudly says,"I have won !!"
Sunaina replies back, "Hardly !!". How?

Raghav was a brilliant boy. He qualified his degree in engineering from the best institute with great percentage. He had three offers for a job. Getting Software Inc., Rudiments Consulting Group and Stanley Infotech. 
He was confused as to which company to join. He decided to ask his uncle working in Gretto tyres in Vatsapur as Assistant Chief Executive, earning lavish perks, to help him finalize a decision.
His uncle asked him to make a comparative list of all the three companies to make things clear and then make a decision. His uncle asked him, "Posting?" Raghav said, " Getting will post me in Vatsapur. Rudiments will post me suitably after I join. While Stanley offers me the job in Jayanagar".
His uncle then asks,"What about responsibility?". Raghav said,"Getting will give me full responsibility in my projects. Rudiments will train me hard for 15 months and then post me as per my learning. Stanley will post me abroad in Dunedin."
His uncle then asks,"Pay package?". Raghav says,"Getting will pay handsome salary and perks. Rudiments will pay meagre stipend. Stanley assures me a decent pay in Frugan dollars."
Which company was the default considering factor in Raghav?
