I think for the 1st question answer shd be (5) 100%... right..??

Govt has 100% stakes in Union bank of india

Varun Reddy said...

Government has 100% stake in "United bank of india"(Exception for this bank)...not in Union bank of india...!!!IT is proposed that govt must have a maximum of 74% stake in banks and minimum of 51%.
In 2010, Govt is planning to sell around 15% of stake in Unite bank of india as IPO.

Varun Reddy said...

Try to answer more than 30 questions...with minimum 90% accuracy...if you are lack in Gk concentrate more on that...
By how much accuracy do you attempted 22 questions...???
Suppose... if you are attempted with 90% accuracy...you get very close to pass marks in GK section...which is not a good sign for you...!!!
