best answer to each of the questions out of the four alternatives.
It is strange that, according to his position in life, an extravagant man is admired or
despised. A successful businessman does nothing to increase his popularity by being careful
with his money. He is expected to display his success, to have a smart car, an expensive life,
and to be lavish with his hospitality. If he is not so, he is considered mean and his reputation in
business may even suffer in consequence. The paradox remains that if he had not been careful
with his money in the first place, he would never have achieved his present wealth. Among the
low income groups, a different set of values exists. The young clerk who makes his wife a
present of a new dress when he hadn’t paid his house rent, is condemned as extravagant.
Carefulness with money to the point of meanness is applauded as a virtue. Nothing in his life
is considered more worthy than paying his bills. The ideal wife for such a man separates her
housekeeping money into joyless little piles —so much for rent, for food, for the children’s
shoes; she is able to face the milkman with equanimity and never knows the guilt of buying
something she can’t really afford. As for myself, I fall into neither of these categories. If I have
money to spare, I can be extravagant, but when, as is usually the case, I am hard up, then I am
the meanest man imaginable.
1. In the opinion of the writer, a successful businessman
(a) is more popular if he appears to be doing nothing
(b) should not bother about his popularity
(c) must be extravagant before achieving success

2. The phrase ‘lavish with his hospitality’ signifies

(a) miserliness in dealing with his friends
(b) considerateness in spending on guests and strangers
(c) extravagance in entertaining guests
(d) indifference in treating his friends and relatives

3. The word ‘paradox’ means

(a) Statement based on facts
(b) that which brings out the inner meaning
(c) that which is seemingly absurd or contradictory
(d) statement based on the popular opinion

4. How does the housewife, described by the writer, feel when she saves money?
(a) Is content to be so thrifty.
(b) Wishes life were less burdensome.
(c) Is still troubled by a sense of guilt.

best answer to each of the questions out of the four alternatives.

Going through the election manifestos of political parties in every election, one cannot
but notice that every party promises piped water to homes everywhere. There is usually no
mention of water conservation or anything related to addressing the looming water crisis. How
can you provide water when there is none to supply? More than 400 districts of India are reeling
under severe water crisis on a persistent basis. The nature of the crisis itself is quite diverse.
The water crisis in south India is different in nature as compared to the ones in the North.
Drought in the western part of the country has a different characteristic as compared to those
in the East. This calls for a different strategic approach to crisis in different areas. According
to NITI Aayog report as many as 600 million people in India are faced with high to extreme
water crisis and 21 large cities are in danger of running out of groundwater in the near future.

Water is basic to human survival. One may go without food for some days but not so
without water. Migration to urban areas from rural areas was pushed by economic factors in
the past. This is now combined with the search for water, which is an extremely worrying factor.
The landscape of our cities is set to change forever due to the massive amount of pressure put
on it by rapid urbanization and growing density.

Fights breaking out between families, between villages, between states and between
countries are becoming more and more common. If these fights reach breaking points it could
lead to bloodshed and even all out war. Doomsday prophets are quick to predict that if and
when World War Three breaks out it will be a fight for water resources. Vying for basic needs
like water would mean that man is going back to his state of nature as envisaged by a political
philosopher who said that man will do anything to ensure his survival including the destruction
of his fellow being. Unless concerted efforts are made by governments at all levels the day may
not be far when an all out war is waged for water and control over its sources.

6. The author’s dissatisfaction with election manifestos of parties related to piped water is
because:
a) They are not fulfilled
b) They are too idealistic
c) They do not address the real issue
d) None of the above

7. Migration to urban areas is pushed by:

a) Economic factors
b) Search for water
c) Either (a) or (b)
d) Both (a) and (b)
 8. Fights breaking out between families, states and even countries is due to:
a) Ground water depletion
b) Rapid urbanization
c) Competition for control of water resources
d) All of the above

9. The fear of the author regarding man’s return to state of nature is closest to:
a) Thomas Hobbe’s state of nature where the social environment is peaceful
b) John Locke’s State of nature where the environment is hostile and man kills for
his survival
c) Rousseau’s state of nature where the environment is neutral
d) All of the above

10. In the context of the passage which of the following is the most suitable
synonym of the word concerted:
a) Combine
b) Join

Direction for Questions No. 11 - 15: Read the following passage carefully and choose the
best answer to each of the questions out of the four alternatives.

Education, without a doubt, has an important functional, instrumental and utilitarian

dimension. This is revealed when one asks questions such as ‘what is the purpose of
education?’. The answers, too often, are ‘to acquire qualifications for employment/ upward
mobility’, ‘wider/higher (in terms of income) opportunities’, and ‘to meet the needs for trained
human power in diverse fields for national development’. But in its deepest sense education is
not instrumentalist. That is to say, it is not to be justified outside of itself because it leads to the
acquisition of formal skills or of certain desired psychological – social attributes. It must be
respected in itself. Education is thus not a commodity to be acquired or possessed and then
used, but a process of inestimable importance to individuals and society, although it can and
does have enormous use value. Education then, is a process of expansion and conversion, not
in the sense of converting or turning students into doctors or engineers, but the widening and
turning out of the mind—the creation, sustenance and development of self-critical awareness
and independence of thought. It is an inner process of moral-intellectual development.

Direction for Questions No. 21 - 25: Read the following passage carefully and choose the
best answer to each of the questions out of the four alternatives.

This morning I talked about hierarchies of thought in this system. Now, I want to talk
about methods of finding ones way through these hierarchies logic: Two kinds of logic are
used, inductive and deductive. Inductive inferences start with observations of the machine and
arrive at general conclusions. For example, if the circle goes over a bump and the engine
misfires, and then goes over another bump and the engine misfire and then goes over along
smooth stretch of road and there is no misfiring, one can logically conclude that the misfiring
is caused by the bumps. This is introduction: reasoning from particular experiences to general
truths.

Deductive inference do the reverse. They start with the general knowledge and predict
a specific observation. For example, if, by reading the hierarchy of fact about the machine, the
mechanic knows the horn of the cycle is powered exclusively by electricity from the battery,
then he can logically infer that if the battery is dead, the horn will not work. This is deduction.

Solution of problems too complicated for common sense to solve is achieved by long
string of mixed inductive and deductive inferences that weave back and forth between the
observed machine and the mental hierarchy of the machine found in manuals. The correct
programme of interweaving is formalized as scientific method.

Actually, I have never seen a cycle maintenance problem complex enough really to
require full scale formal scientific method. Repair problems are not that hard. When I think of
formal scientific method, an image sometimes come to mind of enormous juggernaut, huge
bull dozer----slow, tedious, lumbering, laborious but invincible. It takes twice as long, five
times as long, maybe, a dozen time as long as an informal mechanic’s techniques but you know
in the end you have hit a really tough one. Tried everything and racked your brain and nothing
works, and you know that this nature has really decided to be difficult, you say.”
Okay, Nature, that’s the end of the nice guy.” And you crank up the formal scientific method.

For this, you keep a lab notebook. Everything gets written down, formally, so that you know
that all times where you are, where you have been, where you are going and where you want
to get to. In scientific work and electronics technology, this necessary because otherwise the
problem get so complex that you get lost in them and confused and forget what you know and
what you do not know and have to give up. In cycle maintenance, things are not that involved,
but when confusion starts, it’s a good idea to hold it down by making everything formal and
exact. Sometimes, just the act of writing down the problems straightens your head as to what
they really are.

21. Which of the following is not untrue, as per the passage?

(a) Deduction and Induction are the two sides of the same coin.
(b) Deduction is the opposite of induction.

(d) Induction is a particular process.
