Q.16 Tailgating another vehicle is unsafe and illegal. Many rear-end collisions are caused
by drivers following too close to the vehicle in front of them. The rules state that a
driver must keep significant distance from the vehicle in front in order to stop safely
and avoid a collision. Drivers should allow a minimum two seconds gap between
their vehicle and the one ahead. At 60 km per hour, this equates to a gap of
33 meters; at 100 km per hour, it equates to a gap of 55 meters. More distance is
needed to safely stop in rain or poor visibility, as during rain slippery roads reduce
the effectiveness of braking.
Which of the following statement(s) can be inferred from the above passage?
(A) People drive faster in rain and under poor visibility.
(B) Braking may not be as effective during rain as in the dry conditions.
(C) Tailgating is against the road rules.
(D) Collision has no relationship with tailgating.

Q.22 For a painting to succeed, it is essential that the painter and his public agree about
what is significant. The subject of the painting may have a personal meaning for the
painter or a common person; but there can also be the possibility of their agreement
on its general meaning. It is at this point that the culture of the society and the period
in question precedes the artists and her/his art. Renaissance art would have meant
nothing to the Aztecs, and vice versa. If, to some extent, a few intellectuals can
appreciate them both today, it is because their culture is a historical one. Its
inspiration is history and all known developments to date.
According to the passage, which of the following is/are NOT necessarily among
the attributes needed for a painter to succeed?
(A) The subject must have a personal meaning for the painter.
(B) The painter is able to communicate and justify the significance of its subject
selection.
(C) The painter and the public agree on what is significant.
(D) The painting of the subjects is driven by public demand.

Q.24 Cholera, typhoid, diphtheria and tuberculosis cause huge number of deaths.
Poor quality drinking water has always been the world’s greatest single carrier of
sickness. Disease is transmitted when sewage and drinking water come into contact.
Children are particularly vulnerable. In some of the poorest countries the infant
mortality rate is high. The separation of sewage and the supply of clean drinking
water are the domain of civil engineers, and their work makes a significant
contribution to public health. That contribution was recognized when public
sanitation was voted the greatest medical breakthrough, beating the discoveries
including antibiotics and vaccines in a poll organized by the British Medical
Journal.
Identify the statement(s), which is/are NOT TRUE according to the passage.
(A) Children are less prone to water borne diseases.
(B) The infant mortality rate was high in economically weaker countries.
(C) The provision of sewage and drinking water should be adequately separated from
each other.
(D) The literature states that the public health and sanitation was never given its due
importance.

Q. 25 Shark’s teeth have evolved to correspond to the diet of each particular species of
shark. Consequently, the teeth of the great white shark bear little resemblance to
those of the bull shark or nurse shark. There were essentially four different shark
diets and thus four varieties of shark teeth. Sharks that feed on fish have needle like
teeth, perfect for spearing and ripping. Sharks that eat mammals such as seals and
sea lions have heavy, serrated teeth, typically triangular on the upper jaw and
pointed on the lower jaw. Shark that feed in the benthic zone of the ocean have
flattened teeth for crushing the shell of the creatures they find scuttling in the sand
or clinging to rocks. Sharks that bask have teeth that are largely non-functional;
these sharks filter food from the water by passing it through their gills.
Which of the following is/are the CORRECT inference(s) as per the passage?
(A) Shark’s teeth are not specially designed for slaughter.
(B) The shape of the shark’s teeth relates to its prey.
(C) Some species of sharks filter food through their gills.
(D) Shark’s teeth relate to its diet.

Q.45 Read the passage carefully and answer the question:
“Only, unlike Kant, we do not see man as being essentially a positive will. On the
contrary, he is first defined as a negativity. He is first at a distance from himself. He
can coincide with himself only by agreeing never to rejoin himself. There is within
him a perpetual playing with the negative, and he thereby escapes himself, he
escapes his freedom. And it is precisely because an evil will is here possible that
the words “to will oneself free” have a meaning. Therefore, not only do we assert
that the existentialist doctrine permits the elaboration of an ethics, but it even
appears to us as the only philosophy in which an ethics has its place. For, in a
metaphysics of transcendence, in the classical sense of the term, evil is reduced to
error; and in humanistic philosophies it is impossible to account for it, man being
defined as complete in a complete world. Existentialism alone gives - like religions
- a real role to evil, and it is this, perhaps, which make its judgments so gloomy.
Men do not like to feel themselves in danger.”
- Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity
Which one of the following claim is made in the passage regarding Existentialism?
(A) Its emphasis on negativity means that it can account for evil.

reverse of resistance by arms. When I refuse to do a thing that is repugnant to my
conscience, I use soul-force. For instance, the Government of the day has passed a
law which is applicable to me. I do not like it. If by using violence I force the
Government to repeal the law, I am employing what may be termed body-force. If
I do not obey the law and accept the penalty for its breach, I use soul-force. It
involves sacrifice of self.”

constitutional form of government. But the maintenance of a constitutional form of
Government is not the same thing as a self-government by the people. Similarly, it

logical sense of the phrase, i.e., in contrast to the government of a king. But it cannot
by itself be said to bring about a democratic government, in the sense of the
government by the people and for the people.”

“What do I mean by the ideal of universal religion? I do not mean any one universal
philosophy, or any one universal mythology, or any one universal ritual held by all;
for I know that this world must go on working, wheel within wheel, this intricate
mass of machinery, most complex, most wonderful. What can we do then? We can
make it run smoothly, we can lessen the friction; we can grease the wheels, as it
were. How? By recognizing natural necessity of variation. Just as we have
recognized unity by our very nature, so we must also recognize variation. We must
learn that truth may be expressed in a hundred thousand ways, and that each of these
ways is true as far as it goes. We must learn that same thing can be viewed from a
hundred different standpoints, and yet be the same thing.”
– Swami Vivekananda, “The Ideal of a Universal Religion”, The Complete Works

of Swami Vivekananda, Vol.II

Yes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy, and all my
desires ripen into fruits of love.
