Sure Brother...!

as statement implies (before comma)

s = ½(1/100)t

so
t = 200s

now read statement after comma

t = 20,000 % of s (b/c % is same as 1/100 and you are multiplying the right side of equation with 100 and Percentage sign (%) as per requirement of statement)

thus Correct answer:

d] 20,000%

Lets suppose t = 100
then 1/2% of t = 1/2..... This means s= 1/2

Now,
t is what percent of s? i.e. 100 is what percent of 1/2?
make equation like this:
1/2* x% = 100
or 1/2* x/100 = 100
x/100 = 200
x = 200*100
x= 20,000

& their Definitions........................


Spot - A deal for supply wherein the price is negotiated between the buyer and the seller, and the supply commitment varies.

Spot Margin - Additional funds required to be on hand as a contract approaches its delivery date. When a NYMEX contract becomes the spot month (the first month on the board), margin requirements are increased automatically by the NYMEX. They increase again five days prior to the last trading day, with the intent of encouraging players to move out of the delivery month.

Spot Market - High volume (25,000 to 300,000 bbls) contractual agreements between oil companies dictating delivery of petroleum products or crude oil in the near future for an established sales price. Since this market reacts quickly, and is an alternative to wholesale sales, it provides a good indication of the direction of wholesale price trends. Also referred to as Cash Market.

Spot Price - The current value of any product on a volume basis.





Buy-out Costs (buy-down costs) - Payments made by pipelines to producers to extinguish (buy-out) outstanding take-or-pay liabilities under existing contracts, or to reform (buy-down) the contracts.

Bunker Fuel - A heavier residual fuel oil used in a ship's boilers.

Bulk Station - A facility used in the storage or marketing of petroleum products which has a total bulk storage of less than 50,000 barrels and receives product by tank car, or truck.

Bulk Terminal - A facility used primarily for the storage and/or marketing of petroleum products which has a total bulk storage capacity of 50,000 bbls or more and/or receives petroleum products by tanker, barge or pipeline.




Dear Money - Also known as Tight Money. When money is difficult to borrow, and if a loan is secured then it would be paid back at a very high rate of interest.

Debenture - Unsecured certified loan over a long period of time with a fixed rate, based on the trust that payment will be made in the future.

Debt - Money owed to another person or organisation, such as a loan, mortgage, etc., which is required to be paid back, usually with interest.

Debt-Equity Swap - An arrangement between a lender and a debtor, usually a company, in which the lender agrees to reduce the debt in exchange for newly issued shares from the borrower.

Debt Exposure - Money that a lender risks losing if the borrower fails to pay it back.




Operable Capacity - The amount of capacity that, at the beginning of the period, is in operation; not in operation and not under active repair, but capable of being placed in operation within 30 days; or not in operation but under active repair that can be completed within 90 days. Operable capacity is the sum of the operating and idle capacity and is measured in barrels per calendar day or barrels per stream day.

Operable Utilization Rate - Represents the utilization of the atmospheric crude oil distillation units. The rate is calculated by dividing the gross input to these units by the operable refining capacity of the units.

Operating Expenses - The costs of handling traffic, including both direct costs (driver wages and fuel) and indirect costs (computer expenses and advertising), but excluding interest expenses.

Operating Ratio - A measure of profitability based on operating expenses as a percentage of gross revenues.





Out Of The Money Option - Refers to an option where the futures price is less than the strike price for the appropriate call, or higher than the strike price for puts.

Over The Rack - Petroleum products sold at the wholesale level from primary storage. Refers to loading racks where tanker trucks fill up. See also Rack Market.

Overbought - A trading term used to express the opinion that prices have escalated rapidly, and therefore are subject to a sell-off as positions are liquidated.

Oversold - The opposite of overbought.



Accretion - Growth or increase in the value or amount of something.

Accrual - The accumulation of payments or benefits over time.



Ageism - Unfair prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person's age.

Agio - The percentage charged by a bank for exchanging one form of currency or money, into another that is more valuable.



Basis - The difference between the price of the actual commodity (e.g. heating oil) and the price of the futures contract. Basis can be calculated by subtracting the futures price from the cash price. For example, if N.Y. Harbor physical heating oil is 60cts/gal and the futures price is 61cts/gal, the basis is 1ct/ gal. Also called basis differential.

Basis Risk - Price exposure associated with variation in the relationship between a physical or cash price and the appropriate NYMEX reference. These risks may be associated with location, product specifications, and time variations.





Back-End Load - A fee or commission paid by an individual when they sell their shares in an investment fund.

Backscratching - Informal term for reciprocity or returning favours, as in the term 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours'.

Back-To-Back Loan - A loan in which two companies in separate countries borrow each other's money at the same time for a specific period at an agreed upon interest rate.

Balloon - Describes a long term loan in which there is a large final payment when the loan matures.





Backhaul - A transaction that results in the transportation of gas in a direction opposite of the aggregate physical flow of gas in the pipeline. This is typically achieved when the transporting pipeline redelivers gas at a point(s) upstream from the point(s) of receipt. A backhaul condition will exist as long as the aggregate backhaul transactions total less than the aggregate forward haul transactions. A backhaul transaction can result in a delivery by non-delivery or cut back (reduction) of physical flow at a delivery point. For refined oil products, a backhaul is simply the delivery of one product by tank truck, barge, or rail and the use of the vessel to transport back (backhaul) another product.

Backwardation - Term that describes a market which features higher prices for prompt or near-term delivery than for forward or outer month(s) material. This scenario offers no incentive to store barrels.

Balancing - The act of making receipts and deliveries of gas into an interstate gas pipeline or a local distribution company's system equal with withdrawals from that pipeline or system. Balancing may be accomplished daily, monthly or seasonally, with fees or penalties generally assessed for excessive imbalances. The purpose of balancing requirements is to prevent a shipper from tying up storage and line pack with excess deliveries of transportation gas, or from depleting storage and line pack by taking more gas off the system than it delivers, both of which disrupt other sales and transportation services.

Balancing Agreement - A contractual agreement between two or more legal entities to account for differences between chart measured quantities and the total confirmed nominated quantities at a point. They have been used to keep track of over/under production relative to entitlements between producers or over/under deliveries relative to confirmed nominations between operators of wells, pipelines and LDCs.

Balancing Tolerance - The amount of imbalance allowed by a utility which is not subject to a penalty charge. The imbalance tolerance is usually stated in a range expressed in percentage terms.





Combination Vehicle - An equipment configuration which includes a separate power unit (tractor) and at least one trailer.

Commercials - Oil companies, as opposed to speculators trading typically in a futures environment. Commercial entities typically have a stake in the supply chain as a physical producer of oil or a physical consumer of petroleum products.

Commercial Trailer - A trailer used to handle freight in the transportation of goods for others; excludes house trailers, light farm trailers and car trailers.

Commingling - Term which generally applies to the mixing of two petroleum products with similar specifications. Most branded gasoline firms require that their product not be commingled to preserve the integrity of the brand.

Contango - Term that describes a market which features higher prices for more distant delivery. If prompt crude is $18/bbl and delivery two months hence is $19/bbl, the market is said to be in contango. Contango market typically suggests cheaper prices in the near-term because of oversupply or other signs of market weakness.





Integrated Oil Company - A company involved in all aspects of the petroleum business from wellhead crude production to retail sales of refined petroleum products.

Interface - A mixture of petroleum products occurring when batches of different products are shipped consecutively through a pipeline. Interface oil is re-refined into gasoline and diesel.

Intermodal Transportation - Transportation movement involving more than one mode (e.g. rail/motor, motor/air, or rail/water).

Intrinsic Value - The amount by which an options contract is in the money. A 60cts/gal call option would have 2cts/gal of intrinsic value if the underlying futures price were 62cts/gal






Net - Prices include any available prompt payment discounts.

Net Average - An average of all rack suppliers, calculated with any prepayment discount reduced from the applicable suppliers.

Net Receipts - The difference between total movements into and total movements out of each PADD by pipeline, tanker, and barge.

Net Profit Margin - A measure of profitability based on the ratio of net income
to total operating revenues.

Netbacks - The price a refiner receives for the sale of petroleum products after deducting the transportation or affiliated costs in shipping the product from its point of origin (i.e. pipeline tariffs, waterborne freight, storage fees, line loss, cost of capital, etc.).





Current Account - A bank account which can be used to make deposits, withdrawals, cash cheques, pay bill, etc.

Current Assets - Also called Liquid Assets. A company's cash or assets which can be converted into cash usually within one year, including shares, inventory, etc.

Current Liability - In business, a liability or debt which must be paid within one year from the time of the initial transaction.

Current Ratio - A financial ratio which gives an indication of whether or not a company can pay its short-term debts.

I answered 56 because it is the only number having an odd integer on left-hand side. all others having even integers
answer is 22.. as all others are divisible by 4, except 22

Believe me , I heard the terminologies first time in my life . An Engineer doesn't have any link with spot market and bulk terminal e.t.c . They simply ruined our test and also our expectations . Totally unfair evaluation system specially for Engineers .
dear you are talking about an engineer.. i believe most business grads ko bhi nhi ata tha ye sb.. mostly hardcore finance ki terms theen ya phr kuch aisi terms theen jo purely organization ka jargon hota.. specific terms..
it seemed k employees ka promotion test hai shayd
