Similarly,
In the second step the highest among the given numbers
Y H Z D R V B gets arranged and occupies the place after the word
arranged in step I.
SOLUTIONS (36-38) : These two steps get repeated alternately. Thus, in the last
Total Number of flats = 13; Unoccupied flats = 5 step all the words get arranged alphabetically whereas
numbers get arranged in descending order.
Occupied flats = 8 If any word or number is already arranged in any step, the

Even as the debate rages on whether poverty measurement in the country is accurate, a recent report on nutritional
intake of individuals has come up with a chilling conclusion: two thirds of the country's population is eating less than
what is required.
Even more worrying is that this trend continues despite a healthy economic growth rate over several years, and
despite several mega programmes of nutrition delivery to children. Experts believe that this can only indicate widespread
hunger and malnutrition, consequences of rampant poverty. Nutritional intake is measured in terms of calorific value of
food consumed.
This has shockingly declined from 2,153 Kcal per person per day in 1993-94 to 2020 in 2009-10 in rural areas and from
2,071 to 1,946 Kcal in urban areas according to the report of the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), based
on its 66th survey round. Even between 2004-05 and 2009-10, calorie intake per person per day dipped from 2,047 to
2,020 in rural areas and from 2,020 to 1946 in urban areas. This may raise questions about reported decline in poverty
as claimed by the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission had adopted 2,400 Kcal (rural) and 2,100 Kcal (urban) as the minimum daily requirement
norm.
What about protein consumption, which is higher in affluent societies because more meat, eggs, fish and milk is
consumed? According to the NSSO report, protein consumption too has fallen from 60.2g to 55g per person per day
in rural areas and from 57.2g to 53.5g in the urban areas between 1993-94 and 2009-10.
The decline is across the board, but is sharpest in rural areas of Rajasthan, Haryana, UP and Punjab where intake
has fallen by 9-12g per person per day.
Fat consumption has risen by about 7g in rural and 6g in urban areas over this 16-year period in all major states.
Average daily fat consumption per person was 38g in rural areas and about 48g in urban areas. These are averages
over the whole population.
In reality, the situation is much more dire for the poor. About 90% of the poorest tenth of the population in both urban
and rural areas consume food that gives them less than just 2,160 Kcal. Average calorie intake among the poorest
tenth of the population is just 1,619 Kcal in rural areas and 1,584 Kcal in urban areas, reveals the NSSO report. The
richest 10% of the population consumes 2,922 Kcal in rural areas and 2,855 Kcal in urban on an average.

The government will introduce amendments to the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, which will give it the power
to confiscate any property that is declared benami. Although the Parliament had passed a law in 1988 prohibiting
benami deals, it was never implemented as the rules were not framed. But facing an outcry over black, or untaxed,
money, there is now urgency in the government to tighten the provisions in the legislation against benami transac-
tions. "The very soon bill may be introduced in the monsoon session of Parliament," a finance ministry official said.
If the proposed changes in this law are approved by the Parliament, benami transactions would become difficult to
execute and where discovered, the authorities would have greater powers to act against the offenders. The present law
empowers the government to make rules that would provide for a competent authority to acquire such properties. But
experts say unless the main law provides for such powers, the rules are meaningless.
These issues are being addressed in the redrafting exercise, the finance ministry official said. The new law will set up
an authority and empower it to confiscate an asset deemed to be benami if the owner fails to provide proven source of
earning. "The premise is very simple," said a government official. "If you do not have a proven source of income, you
cannot be holding an asset." Benami transactions are most prevalent in the real estate sector, but the 2G scam has
also revealed that some of the companies that received telecom licenses in 2008 were actually fronts for others. The
government has also come across many instances of benami ownership of petrol pumps and gas agencies.
The licenses for such ownerships are cancelled under the rules framed by the oil marketing companies. The Bombay
high court has also asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate benami transactions in the Adarsh Hous-
ing Society case. The new law will spare the dealings between family members from its scope. This would make it
easier for the confiscating authority to prove a benami transaction.
The present Act defines a benami transaction as one in which a property is transferred to one person for a consider-
ation paid or provided by another person. To put it simply, it means a transaction in which property is not transferred
in the name of the person who actually pays the purchase price, but is held in the name of some other person. Any
asset, movable or immovable, tangible or intangible, can be termed benami as per the provisions of the Act.
Benami buys are in the name of a person who doesn't pay for the deal but merely lends his name The current law, the
Benami Transaction (Prohibition) Act, 1988, prohibits benami transactions But the more stringent provisions of the law
have not been operationalised The Act gives the government powers to frame rules to provide for an authority to
confiscate benami properties But, such an body has not been notified.
