India Post plans separate firm to sell collectible stamps

India Post is eyeing a jump of Rs. 100 crore in turnover from the philately segment.

---

It proposes to set up an independent public limited company to boost revenue.

The Department of Post is planning to set up an independent company for its philately business with an aim to boost revenues from the sale of collectible stamps.

India Post Philately Company is proposed as a public limited company, fully owned by the government, with an authorised capital of Rs. 100 crore.

“The proposed company will be a service-based one, which will not only sell its products to existing customers —collectors and philatelists — but will also try to attract new ones. It will focus on promotion of philately, mainly among the younger generation,” a senior official told The Hindu.

The proposal would soon be sent to the Cabinet.

Philately in textooks

As part of the strategy to spread the interest in philately among the younger generation, S.K. Sinha, Secretary, Posts, wrote to the Department of School Education and Literacy under the Ministry of Human Resources Development last month, seeking that a chapter on philately be included in the textbooks for Class V, VI, or VII.

India Post is eyeing a jump of Rs. 100 crore, or over 250 per cent, in turnover from the philately segment to Rs. 141 crore in the current fiscal.

The earnings from this segment stood at Rs. 39.88 crore during 2015-16 and Rs. 32.85 crore during 2014-15.

This does not include revenues from the sale of stamps meant for daily use.

As per the proposal, the new firm will have a corporate office and four zonal offices. The board of directors will have seven officials. While the Secretary, Department of Posts, will be the non-executive chairman, India Post officials of the rank of Joint Secretary will be appointed as chairman and managing director on deputation. The board will have three persons from the department and four outsiders.

The Department of Company Affairs will also be represented on the board. Inter-ministerial consultations will be held with the Departments of Expenditure and Legal and Company Affairs, and their views would be incorporated in the Cabinet note.

In the six months from January to June this year, the Department has issued 14 commemorative stamps.

A 450 b 250 c 150 d 350

Let the number of Girls be X , Then number of boys = (600-x)

Let cost price (C.P.) = 100. Profit = 30 %. Selling price (S.P.) = (100 + 30) = 130.
If selling price (S.P.) is 130, then cost price (C.P.) is 100.
If selling price (S.P.) is 1, then cost price (C.P.) is $ (100/130).

A 843 b 847 c 800 d None of these 

Let the no of parrots is assumed as X
Total number of animals = 858
Total tigers = 858-x Total legs = 2x=4(858-x)=1746

36 = 2*2*3*3* 45 = 3*3*5 52 = 2*2*13 108 = 2*2*3*3*3* 236 = 2*2*59
Therefore, L.C.M of 36, 45, 52, 108, 236 = 2*2*3*3*3*5*13*59 = 414180 Answer a 414180

A 3:3:10 B 23:33:60 C 20:22:40 D None of these 

Let Akash = 2 Babloo = 3 and Chintu = 5
Then 100/115=2 = 23/10
100/110=3 = 33/10
120/100=5= 6
Then new ratio is 23/10 :33/10: 6 = 23:33:60 Answer b 23:33:60 

9 A man earns Rs 20 on the first day and spends Rs 15 on the next day . He again earns rs 20 on the third day and spends rs 15 on the fourth day . if he continues to save like how soon will have Rs 60 in hand 

A on 30 the day b On 40th Day c On 27th Day D On 17th day E

Explanation: Money earned in 2 days = Rs.(20 - 15) = Rs. 15.
Money earned in 16 days = Rs.(5/2 x 16) ‹=›Rs. 40.
On 17th day, money in hand = Rs.(40 + 20 ) = Rs. 60. Answer d 17th Day

A 11 days b 12 days c 14 days d None of these

1 days work of Ajay =1/25
Sanjay = 1/20
So (Ajay+Sanjay)= 1/25+1/20=9/100
5 days work of Ajaya and Sajay=45/100
Remaining work = 1-45/100=55/100
Sajay can do 55/100 work in 55/100/1/20 = 11 Days
Answer a 11 Days

12 A hemispherical bowl of internal radius 9 cm contains a liquid , The liquid is to be filled into cylindrical shaped small bottles of diameter 3 cm and height 4 cm . How many bottles will be needed to empty the bowl

A 45 b 54 c 35 d 48

Radius of hemisphere= 9 cm
volume of hemisphere= 2/3 π r3
= 2/3 x9x9x9 π = 486 π
radius of cylindrical shaped bottles= 3/2 cm
height= 4 cm, volume of bottles= π r2h
= 3/2x 3/2 x 4 π =9 π now,
Reaquired no. of bottles= volume of hemisphere/ volume of bottles
. =486 π/9π . =54
Hence, no. of bottles required to empty the bowl = 54 Answer b 54 

13 If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 200 % and the denominator is increased by 300 % the resultant fraction is 6/11 . What was the original fraction . 

A 5/11 b 7/11 . c 8/13 d 8/11 

If numerator increase 200 % then Numerator will be x+2x =3x and denominator increased by 300% means denominator will be y = 3y =4y new fraction will be 3x/4y =6/66 (g
3x/4y = 6/11
dividing numerator by 3 and denominator by 4 both side we will get
x/y =6/3/11/4
x/y=6x4/11x3
x/y =24/33
x/y =8/11 Answer d 8/11 

14 If the ratio of areas of two squares is 9:1 the ratio of perimeter is 

A 3:1 b 1:2 c 3:2 d None of these

A 40 b 45 c 50 d 55

Speed 36 KM/H = 36*5/18 M/S =10 M/S
So time taken to cross 500m bridge = 500/10 = 50 Second
 Answer 50

19 . Two cars start from the same point at 8 am . In the same direction . The speed of the first car is 60 km/h and the speed of second car is 55 km/h . The distance between them at 2 p. m on the same day is 

A 20 km b 25 km c 28 km d 30 km 

Time duration 14-8 = 6 Hrs 2 PM ( 14 hrs)
distance by first car 6*60 360 KM
Distance by IInd car = 6*55 =330 KM
So distance between two car 30 KM Answer 30 KM 

20 The distance between two cities A and B is 520 km . One car starts from city A towards city B with the speed of 60 km/h. At the same time another car starts from city B towards city A with a speed of 70 km/h . After how many hours they will cross each other 

A 3 hours b 4 Hours d 5 hours d 6 hours

Let distance travelled by A= X
Distance travelled by B= (520-X)
X/60=520-x/70
70X=(520-X)60
70X=520*60-60X
130X=520*60 X=240 ie Time =240/60= 4 Hrs
Answer 4 Hrs

21 A car towards 50 km in first hour , 60 Km in second hour and 43 km in third hour . The average speed of the car is 

A 43 KM/h b 50 KM/h c 51 KM/h d 55 KM/h

Answer a 10 cm 

24 A watch was sold at a profit of 15 % . If its cost had been 5 % less and it had been sold for Rs 21 less , then the profit would have been 10 % . Find the cost price of the watch 

A 200 b 400 c 190 d None of these 

Answer 200 

25 60 % of the students in a school are boys . if the number of girls in the school is 300. Then the number of boys is 

A 500 b 300 c 450 d 750

If 60% are boys, then 40% must make up the girls.
Let x = total number of students
then .40x = 300
x = 300/.40 = 7.5*100=750 750-300=450 Total no of boys 450 Answer c 450
