(SECTION-A, READING SKILLS)
Q.1 Read the passage carefully and answer the question.
India has never subscribed to the doctrine of militarism and war in her history. Here war was
never treated as an ideal. It was only tolerated as unavoidable and inevitable, and all attempts
were made to check it and bring it under control. Despite the frequency of wars in ancient
India, despite highly developed military organization, techniques of war and imperialism, and
despite the open justification of war as national policy, the heart of India loved pacifisms as an
ideal capable of realization. India’s symbolic role was that of a peacemaker and it sincerely
pinned its faith on the principle of ‘Live and Let Live’. At least philosophically, India’s
intelligence supported the cause of peace not only in national affairs but in international affairs
also. All the great seers of the yore visualized the unity of life, permeating all beings, animate
or inanimate, which ruled out killing and suicidal wars.
ii. This doctrine of philosophical pacifisms was practiced by ancient Aryans is, no doubt, a
question of controversial nature. Certainly, the great Indian teachers and savants stuck to this
doctrine tenaciously and in their personal life they translated it into practice and preached it to
masses and even to princes of military classes.
iii. Another culture of those times, the existence of which has been proved by the excavations
of Mohanjo-Daro, also enunciated the doctrine of pacificism and friendship to all. Strangely
enough, the Indus Valley civilization has revealed no fortification and very few weapons.
iv. Ahimsa or the doctrine of non-violence in thought, speech and action assumed a gigantic
importance in the Buddhist and Jain period. By a constant practice of this virtue, man becomes
unassailable by even wild beasts, who forgot their ferocity the moment they entered the
circumference of his magnetic influence. The monks and nuns of these churches were apostles
of peace, who reached every nook and corner of the world and delivered the message of love
to war-weary humanity. The greatest votary was the royal monk Ashoka, who in reality was
responsible for transforming Ahimsa as an act of personal virtue, to Ahimsa as an act of
national virtue.
v. Many a historian recounting the causes of the downfall of the Mauryas, hold the pacific
policy of Ashoka which had eschewed the aggressive militarism of his predecessors,
responsible for an early decay of the military strength of the state and its consequent
disintegration, leading to the rise of Sungas, Kanvas and Andhras. But, the fault lies with the
weak successors of Ashoka, who could not wield the weapon of non-violence with a kill and
efficiency which required the strength of a spiritual giant like Ashoka. They failed due to their
subjective weakness: Pacifism itself was no because of their failure.
vi. Besides the foregoing philosophical and religious school of thought, even many political
authorities gave their unqualified support to the cause of pacifism. They recognized the right
of rivals to exist, not mainly as enemies, but as collaborators in the building of a civilization
operation. Thus, for centuries, in the pre-Mauryan India, scores of small independent republics
existed and flourished without coming in clash with each other.
vii. About Kautilya, the much-maligned militarist, and the so-called Machiavelli of India, He
thinks that the object of diplomacy is to avoid war.
viii. The Mahabharata observes in the connection, “A wise man should be content with what
can be obtained by the expedients of conciliation, gift and dissention.” It denounces the warring
world of men by comparing it to a dog-kennel. “First there comes the wagging of tails, then
turning of one round to other, then the show of teeth, then the roaring and then comes the
commencement of the fights. It is the same with men; there is no difference whatever.”
Yajnavalkya adds: „War is the last expedient to be used when all others have failed.” Likewise,
Sri Krishna who’s Bhagwad-Gita has been styled by some as „a song of the battle‟, should not
be considered out and out militarist. When all the three expedients were exhausted, then the
fourth was resorted to alone.
ix. All possible avenues of peace such as negotiation, conciliation through conference,
meditation and so on, were explored before the war was resorted to. This proves that the heart
of ancient India was sound, and it longed for peace, although war also was not treated as an
anathema, which was to be avoided as far as possible.

I. Read the following information carefully and answer the questions 1-6 on the basis
of the same:

Let us consider a new machine that a firm invests in. This machine may be in service for the
next twenty years after which it falls into ruination and needs to be replaced. We can now
imagine us if the machine is being gradually used up in each year's production process and
each year one twentieth of its original value is getting depreciated. So, instead of considering
a bulk investment for replacement after twenty years, we consider an annual depreciation cost
every year. This is the usual sense in which the term depreciation is used and inherent in its
conception is the expected life of a particular capital good, like twenty years in our example of
the machine. Depreciation is thus an annual allowance for wear and tear of a capital good.

(a) Normal wear and tear (b) Accidental damages

(d) Statement 2 is true and Statement I is false

6. State the formula for calculating depreciation.

II. Read the following case study carefully and answer the questions 1-6 on the basis of the
same.
As a banker to the government, the Reserve Bank receives and pays money on behalf of the
various government departments. As it has offices and sub-offices in 29 locations, the Resent
Bank appoints other banks to act as its agents for undertaking the banking business on behalf
of the governments. The Reserve Bank pays agency bank charges to the banks for undertaking
government business on its behalf. The Reserve Bank has well defined obligations and provides
several services to the governments. The Central Government and State Governments mat
make rules for the receipt, custody and disbursement of money from the consolidated fund
contingency fund, and public account. These rules are legally binding on the Reserve Bank.

1. As a banker, agent and advisor to the government, the central bank provides which of the
following functions?
(a) Management of accounts (b) Purchase and sale of securities
(c) Policy formulation to regulate money market (d) All of these

(c) Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.
(d) Statement 2 is true and Statement 1 is false.

6. The Reserve Bank of India was established on 1st April, 1935. (True/False)

III. Read the following information carefully and answer the questions 1-6 on the basis of the
same:
Can the GDP of a country be taken as an index of the welfare of the people of that country? If
a person has more income he or she can buy more goods and services and his or her material
well- being improves. So it may seem reasonable to treat his or her income level as his or her
level of well-being. GDP is the sum total of value of goods and services created within the
geographical boundary of a country in a particular year. It gets distributed among the people
as incomes (except for retained earnings). So we may be tempted to treat higher level of GDP
of a country as an index of greater well-being of the people of that country to account for price
changes, we may take the value of real GDP instead of nominal GDP).

1.___________is considered as a better index of welfare of the people. (Fill up the blank with

(a) increase in the level of output in the economy
(b) greater availability of goods per person
(c) higher level of social welfare
(d) all of these

4. Which of the following makes GDP an inappropriate index of welfare?

(a) Distribution of GDP (b) Externalities
(c) Non-monetary exchanges (d) All of these

5. Read the following statements carefully and choose the correct alternative among those
given below:
Statement 1: GDP as an index of welfare loses significance if the distribution of income
turns unequal.
Statement 2: GDP fails to account for the impact of externalities on social welfare.
Alternatives:
(a) Both the statements are true
(b) Both the statements are false
(c) Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false
(d) Statement 2 is true and Statement 1 is false

6. Give the formula to calculate GDP at constant prices.
