  1. Which multinational once launched a confectionery brand by the name Chatpat Churanet? 
     
  2. Mark Twain was practically bankrupt in 1894 due to a failed investment into a “revolutionary” typesetting machine. In an attempt to extricate himself from debt of $100,000, he undertook a tour of the British Empire and wrote a book called Following the Equator, an account of that travel. During this travel he stayed in a hotel in Bombay and wrote about the crows he saw outside the balcony of his room. In which hotel did he stay?
     
  3. Largely because of the criticism of a business group cornering the lion’s share of loans from financial institutions, parliament passed the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act in 1969.
