Direction (Qs.1 to 10): In the following passage there are words highlighted in bold, each of which has been numbered. These numbers are given below the passage and against each, four words are suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case. If the word highlighted in bold does not require any replacement, choose (5) as your answer.

 

The past couple of days have distributed (1) cheer to public sector banks.  The promised recapitalization of Rs.2.1 trillion takes care of not only the provisioning requirements of public sector banks, but also provides them with growth market (2).  All requirements of public sector banks have been intended (3) at one stroke.

 

Bank recapitalization via special recapitalization bonds is a/an aggregate (4) the government used in the 1980-1990 s.  Between financial years (FY) 1985 – 1999, the government enlivened (5) Rs.204 billion into public sector banks via recapitalization bonds.  The operational details of the bonds will likely be similar to the bonds (6) of the 1990s.

 

Assuming that the Rs.1.35 trillion infusion is equity capital, it could be highly dilutive but positive for the FY19 adjusted books.  The Rs.1.5 – 1.6 trillion infusion will lead (7) to 0-200% dilution of public sector banks.  At first glance, the quantum of this magnus (8) will look high for minority investors, but in most public sector banks the current stock price is higher than the adjusted book value of FY17, so raising (9) at current prices or higher will have a positive order (10) on the FY 19 adjusted book value.
