8) The most apt answer is option is C i.e. sports travellers because there are the people who are working also, getting a salary, are single and mostly are young since it requires that your body should stay fit. Rest of the options are incorrect since they miss at least one of the three properties i.e. young, single and employed.

12) The correct answer is Yield management is a variable price technique that takes into account the probable shift in customer’s intention to buy with time. Rest of the options are more or less terms rather than a process and global distribution system is not directly related to context.
