Answer:
Problem Identification Process :
The
process of identifying the research problem involves the following steps:
1. Management decision problem
The
entire process begins with the identification of the difficulty encountered by
the business manager/researcher. The manager might decide to conduct the study
himself or gives it to a researcher or a research agency. Thus this step
requires that there must be absolute clarity about what is the purpose of
getting a study done. When the work is to be done by an outsider it is very
important that discussion is

Q.2
Elaborate Descriptive Research Designs.
Cross-sectional
Studies 5
Longitudinal
Studies 5
Answer:
Cross-sectional Studies
:
Cross-sectional
studies involve a slice of the population. Just as in scientific experiments
one takes a cross-section of the leaf or the cheek cells to study the cell
structure under the microscope, similarly one takes a current subdivision of
the population and studies the nature of the relevant variables being
investigated.
There
are two essential characteristics of cross-sectional studies:
●
The cross-sectional
study is carried out at a single moment in time and thus the applicability is
most relevant for a specific period. For example, one cross-sectional study was
conducted in 2002 to study the attitude of Americans towards Asian-Americans, after
the 9/11 terrorist
Q.3
Recognize the advantages and disadvantages of using the questionnaire
Advantages 5
Disadvantage 5
Answer:
Advantages :
●
Probably the greatest
benefit of the method is its adaptability. There is, actually speaking, no domain
or branch for which a questionnaire cannot be designed. It can be shaped in a
manner that can be easily understood by the population under study. The
language, the content and the manner of questioning can be modified suitably.
The instrument is particularly suitable for studies that are trying to
establish the reasons for certain occurrences or behaviour.
●
The second advantage is
that it assures anonymity if it is self-administered by the respondent, as

Q.1
Explain the levels of Data Editing.
Field
Editing 5
Centralized
in-house Editing 5
Answer:
Field Editing :
Usually,
the preliminary editing of the information obtained is done by the field
investigators or supervisors who review the filled forms for any
inconsistencies, non-response, illegible responses or incomplete
questionnaires. Thus the errors can be corrected immediately and if need be the
respondent who filled in the form, can be contacted again. The other advantage
is that regular field editing ensures that one can also check that the surveyor
is able to handle the process of instructions and probing correctly or not.
Thus, the researcher can advise and train the investigator on how to administer

Answer:
Setting up of a hypothesis :
The first step is to establish the
hypothesis to be tested. As it is known, these statistical hypotheses are
generally assumptions about the value of the population parameter; the
hypothesis specifies a single value or a range of values for two different
hypotheses rather than constructing a single hypothesis. These two hypotheses
are generally referred to as (1) the null hypotheses denoted by H0 and (2)
alternative hypothesis denoted by H1. The null hypothesis is the hypothesis of

Answer
:
Chi-square Test for the Goodness of Fit :
The actual survey data may be on a
nominal or higher scale of measurement. If it is on a higher scale of
measurement, it can always be converted into categories. The real world
situations in business allow for the collection of count data, e.g., gender,
marital status, job classification, age and income. Therefore, a chi-square
becomes a much sought after tool for analysis. The researcher has to decide
what statistical test is implied by the chi-square statistic in a particular
situation. Below are discussed common principles of all the chi-square tests.
The principles are summarized in the following steps:
●
State the null and the
alternative hypothesis about a population.

Remedies for breach of contract
ANWER-
Discharge
of contract by breach
A
breach of contract is one party’s failure to live up to the promises under a contract
without a legal excuse. If the promisor has not performed his/her promise in
accordance with the terms of the contract or where the performance is not
excused by tender, mutual consent or impossibility or operation of law, then
this amounts to a breach of contract on the part of the promisor. The
consequence is that the promisee becomes entitled to certain remedies. The
breach of contract may arise in two ways –

ANSWER-
Howell
vs. Coupland
In
this case, the seller agreed to sell 200 tonnes of potatoes to be grown by him,
to the buyer at £2 a ton. Though he had the resources to grow 200 tons, an
attack of pestilence killed most of the crop and he was able to deliver only 80
tons. The buyer instituted a suit against the seller for breach of contract and
held that the contract was void, as it was an agreement to sell future goods
and neither party is liable for impossibility of performance.
Unpaid
Seller and his Rights
A
contract comprises reciprocal promises. In a contract of sale, if the seller is
under an obligation to deliver goods, the buyer has to pay for it. In case the
buyer fails or refuses to pay, the seller, as unpaid seller, shall

Qus:1
What is fiduciary relationship in a contract of guarantee? Explain the kinds of
guarantees.
Answer: A contract of guarantee is not a contract “Uberrimae fidei” (requiring utmost good
faith). Nevertheless, the suretyship relation is one of trust and confidence
and the validity of the contract depends on the good faith of the creditor. A
creditor must disclose all facts which, under the circumstances, the surety
would expect not to exist. Hence, where the guarantee is given for good conduct
of an employee, the employer’s failure to inform the surety of any breach on
the part of employee will discharge the surety. Similarly, where X guarantees
the existing and future liabilities of A to B up to a certain limit that has
already been exceeded, the contract of guarantee

Explain the rules and remedies for discharge of contract by breach
Answer: The law protects minors against their own inexperience and
the possible improper designs of those who are experienced. The Contract Act
states that only a person who is a major can enter into a contract. Section 3
of the Indian Majority Act, 1875, states that a minor is a person who has not
completed 18 years of age. An agreement with a minor is void and cannot be
ratified by him/

is called as District Forum. The State Government may, if it deems fit,
