In how many seconds will it cross a man standing near the railway line? Directions for the following 4 (four) items : Read the following four passages and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage-1 Global population was around 1.6 billion in 1990 today it is around 7.2 billion and growing. Recent estimates on population growth predict a global population of 9.6 billion in 2050 and 10.9 billion in Unlike Europe and North America, where only threee to four per cent of population is engaged in agriculture, around 47 per cent of India's population is dependent upon agriculture. Even if India continues to do well in the service sector and the manufacturing sector picks up, it is expected that around 2030 when India overtakes China as the world's most populous country, nearly 42 per cent of India's population will still be predominantly dependent on agriculture. 22. Which of the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage? What is the ratio between the distances covered by vehicles A and B in the time interval OL? 1 : 2 2 : 3 3 : 4 1 : 1 Prosperity of agriculture sector is of critical importance to India. Indian economy greatly depends on its agriculture. India should take strict measures to control its rapid population growth. India's farming communities should switch over to other occupations to improve their economic conditions.

9 9 Passage-2 Many pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses are unknown. Food contaminationn can occur at any stage from farm to plate. Since most cases of food poisoning go unreported, the true extent of global foodborne illnesses is unknown. Improvements in international monitoring have led to greaterr public awareness, yet the rapid globalization of food production increasess consumers' vulnerability by making food harder to regulate and trace. "We have the world on our plates", says an official of WHO. 23. Which of the following is the most logicall corollary to the above passage? With more options for food come more risks. Food processing is the source of all foodborne illnesses. We should depend on locally produced food only. Globalization of food production should be curtailed. Passage-3 I am a scientist, privileged to be somebody who tries to understand nature using the tools of science. But it is also clear that there are some really important questionss that science cannot really answer, such as: Why is theree something instead of nothing? Why are we here? In those domains, I have found that faith provides a better path to answers. I find it oddly anachronistic that in today's culture there seemss to be a widespreadd presumption thatt scientific and spiritual views are incompatible. 24. Which of the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage? It is the faith and not science that can finally solve all the problems of mankind. Science and faith can be mutually complementary if their proper domains are understood. There are some very fundamental questions which cannot be answered by either science or faith In today's culture, scientific views are given more importance than spiritual views. Passage-4 Though I have discarded much of past tradition and custom, and am anxious that India should rid herself of all shackles that bind and contain her and divide her people, and suppress vast numbers of them, and prevent the free development of the body and the spirit; though I seek all this, yet I do not wish to cut myself off from that past completely. I am proud of that great inheritance that has been and is, ours and I am conscious that I too, like all of us, am a link in that unbroken chain which goes back to the dawn of history in the immemorial past of India. 25. The author wants India to rid herself of certain past bonds because he is not able to see the relevance of the past there is not much to be proud of he is not interested in the history of India they obstruct her physical and spiritual growth

11 111 Directions for the following 8 (eight) items Read the following eight passages and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage-1 All actions to address climate change ultimately involve costs. Funding is vital in orderr for countries like India to design and implement adaptation and mitigation plans and projects. The problem is more severe for developing countries like India, which would be one of the hardest hit by climate change, given its need to finance development. Most countries do indeed treat climate change as real threat and are striving to address it in a more comprehensive and integrated manner with the limited resources at their disposal. 26. With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1. Climate change is not a challenge for developed countries. 2. Climate change is a complex policy issue and also a development issue for many countries. 3. Ways and means of finance must be found to enable developing countries to enhance their adaptive capacity. Which of the above assumptions is/ /are valid? 1 and 2 only 3 only 2 and 3 only 1, 2 and 3 Passage-2 Cooking with biomass and coal in India is now recognized to cause major health problems, with women and children in poor populations facing the greatest risk. There are more than 10 lakh premature deaths each year from household air pollution due to polluting cooking fuels with another 1.5 lakh due to their contribution to general outdoor air pollution in the country. Althoughh the fraction of the Indian population using clean cooking fuels, such as LPG, natural gas and electricity, is slowly rising, the number using polluting solid fuels as their primary cooking fuel has remained static for nearly 30 years at about 70 crore. 27. Which of the following is the most crucial and logical inference that can be made from the above passage? Rural people are giving up the use of polluting solid fuels due to their increasing awareness of health hazards. Subsidizing the use of clean cooking fuels will solve the problem of India's indoor air pollution. India should increase its import of natural gas and produce more electricity. Access to cooking gas can reduce premature deaths in poor households. Passage-3 Scientific knowledge has its dangers, but so has every great thing. Over and beyond the dangers with which it threatens the present, it opens up as nothing else can, the vision of a possible happy world; a world without poverty, without war, with little illness. Science, whatever unpleasant consequences it may have by the way, is in its very nature a liberator.

13 The Which one of the following is the most important implication of the passage? A happy world is a dream of science. Science only can build a happy world, but it is also the only major threat. A happy world is not possible without science. A happy world is not at all possible with or without science. Passage-4 Arctic's vast reserves of fossil fuel, fish and minerals are now accessible for a longer period in a year. But unlike Antarctica, which is protected from exploitation by the Antarctic Treaty framed during the Cold War and is not subject to territorial claims by any country, there is no legal regime protecting the Arcticc from industrialization, especially at a time when the world craves for more and more resources. The distinctt possibility of ice-free summer has prompted countries with Arctic coastline to scramble for great chunks of the melting ocean. 29. Which one of the following is the most important implication of the passage? India can have territorial claims in the Arctic territory and free access to its resources. Melting of summer ice in the Arctic leads to changes in the geopolitics. The Arctic region will solve the world's future problem of resource crunch. The Arctic region has more resources than Antarctica. Passage-5 Being a member of the WTO, India is bound by the agreements that have been signed and ratified by its members, including itself. According to Article 6 of the Agriculture Agreement, providing minimum support prices for agricultural products is considered distorting and is subject to limits. The subsidy arising from 'minimal supports' cannot exceed 10 per cent of the value of agricultural production for developing countries. PDS in India entails minimum support prices and public stockholding of food grains. It is possible that, in some years, the subsidy to producers will exceed 10 per cent of the value of agricultural production. 30. What is the crucial message conveyed by the above passage? India should revise its PDS. India should not be a member of WTO. For India, food security collides with trade. India provides food security to its poor. Passage-6 India's educational system is modeled on the mass education system that developed in the 19th century in Europe and later spread around the world. The goal of the system is to condition children as 'good' citizens and productive workers. This suited the industrial age that needed the constant supply of a compliant workforce with a narrow set of capabilities. Our educational institutes resemble factories with bells, uniforms and batch-processing of learners, designed to get learners to conform. But, from an economic point of view, the environment today is very different. It is a complex, volatile and globally interconnected world.

15 The With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1. India continues to be a developing country essentially due to its faulty education system. 2. Today's learners need to acquire new-age skill-sets. 3. A good number of Indians go to some developed countries for education because the educational systems there are a perfect reflection of the societies in which they function. Which of the above assumptions is/ /are valid? 1 and 3 only 2 only 2 and 3 only 1, 2 and 3 Passage-7 practice of dieting has become an epidemic; everyone is looking out for a way to attain that perfect body. We are all different with respect to our ethnicity, genetics, family history, gender, age, physical and mental and spiritual healthh status, lifestyles and preferences. Thereby we also differ in what foods we tolerate or are sensitive to. So we really cannot reduce so many complexities into one diet or diet book. This explains the failure of diets across the world in curbing obesity. Unless the reasons for weight gain are welll understood and addressed and unless habits are changed permanently, no diet is likely to succeed. Obesity has become an epidemic all over the world. A lot of people are obsessed with attaining a perfect body. Obesity is essentially an incurable disease. There is no perfect diet or one solution for obesity. Passage-8 Monoculture carries great risks. A single disease or pest can wipe out swathes of the world's food production, an alarming prospect given that its growing and wealthier population will eat 70% more by The risks are magnified by the changing climate. As the planet warms and monsoon rains intensify, farmlands in Asia will flood. North America will suffer more intense droughts, and crop diseasess will spread to new latitudes. 33. Which of the following is the most logical, rational and crucial message given by the passage? Preserving crop genetic diversity is an insurance against the effects of climate change. Despite great risks, monoculture is the only way to ensure food security in the world. More and more genetically modified crops only can save the world from impending shortages of food. Asia and North America will be worst sufferers from climate change and the consequent shortage of food. 32. What is the most logical and rational inferencee that can be made from the above passage?

In the mountain context, the declining moisture retentionn of the mountain soils, drying up of the underground springs and smaller rivers in the Himalayan region could be attributed to drastic changes in the forest cover. An indirect consequence is drastic alteration in the upland-lowland interaction, mediated through water. The current concern the tea planter of Assam has is about the damage to tea plantations due to frequent inundation along the flood-plains of Brahmaputra, and the damage to tea plantation and the consequent loss in tea productivity is due to rising level of the river bottom because of siltation and the changing course of the river system. The ultimate consequences of site desertification are soil degradation, alteration in available water and its quality, and the consequent decline in food, fodder and fuel-wooof rural communities. 44. According to the passage, which of the following are the consequences of decline in forest cover? 1. Loss of topsoil 2. Loss of smaller rivers yields essential for the economic well-being 3.

21 below. Which of the following is/are the correct inference/inferences that can be made from the passage? 1. Deforestation can cause changes in the course of rivers. 2. Salinization of land takes place due to human activities only. 3. Intense monoculture practice in plains is a major reason for desertification in Tropical Asia, Africa and South America. Select the correct answer using the code given 1 only 1 and 2 only 2 and 3 only None of the above is a correct inference Passage-2 A diversity of natural assets will be neededd to cope with climate change and ensuree productive agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. For example, crop varieties are needed that perform well under drought, heat, and enhanced CO 2. But the private-sector and farmer-led process of choosing crops favours homogeneity adaptedd to past or current conditions, not varieties capable of producing consistently high yields in warmer, wetter, or drierr conditions. Accelerated breeding programmes are needed to conserve a wider pool of genetic resources of existing crops, breeds, and their wild relatives. Relatively intact ecosystems, such as forested catchments, mangroves, wetlands, can buffer the impacts of climate change. Under a changing climate, thesee ecosystems are themselves at risk, and management approaches will need to be more proactive and adaptive. Connections between natural areas, such as migration corridors, may be needed to facilitate species movements to keep up with the change in climate. 47. With reference to the above passage, whichh of the following would assist us in coping with the climate change? 46. With reference to 'desertification', as described in the passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1. Conservation of natural water sources 2. Conservation of wider gene pool 1. Desertification is a phenomenon in tropical areas only. 3. Existing crop management practices 4. Migration corridors 2. Deforestation invariably leads to floods and desertification. below.

23 With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made : 1. Diversification of livelihoods acts as a coping strategy for climate change. 2. Adoption of monocropping practice leads to the extinction of plant varieties and their wild relatives. Which of the above assumptions is/are valid? 1 only 2 only Both 1 and 2 Neither 1 nor 2 Passage-3 Today, the top environmental challenge is a combinationn of people and their aspirations. If the aspirations are more like the frugal ones we had after the Second World War, a lot more is possible than if we view the planet as a giant shopping mall. We need to get beyond the fascination with glitter and understand that the planet works as a biological system. 49. Which of the following is the most crucial and logical inferencee that can be made from the above passage? The Earth can meet only the basic needs of humans for food, clothing and shelter. The only way to meet environmental challenge is to limit human population. Reducing our consumerismm is very much in our own interest. Knowledge of biological systems can only help us save this planet. Passage-4 Some people believe that leadership is a quality whichh you have at birth or not at all. This theory is false, for the art of leadership can be acquired and can indeed be taught. This discovery is made in time of war and the results achieved can surprise even the instructors. Faced with the alternatives of going left or right, every soldier soon grasps that a prompt decision either way is better than an endless discussion. A firm choice of direction has an even chance of being right while to do nothing will be almost certainly wrong. 50. The author of the passage holds the view that leadership can be taught through war experience only taught leadership can be acquired as well as the results of training show that more people acquire leadership than are expected despite rigorous instruction, very few leaders are produced

37 37 Directions for the following 3 (three) items: Read the following two passages and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage 1 The quest for cheap and plentiful meat has resulted in factory farms where more and more animals are squeezed into smaller lots in cruel and shocking conditions. Such practices have resulted in many of the world's health pandemics such as the avian flu. Worldwide, livestock are increasingly raised in cruel, cramped conditions, where animals spend their short lives under artificial light, pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones, until the day they are slaughtered. Meat production is water intensive litres of water is needed for every kilogram of meat compared with 3400 liters for rice, litres for eggs and 256 for a kilogram of potatoes. 68. What is the most rational and crucial message given by the passage? Mass production of meat through industrial farming is cheap and is suitable for providing protein nutrition to poor countries. Meat-producing industry violates the laws against cruelty to animals. Mass production of meat through industrial farming is undesirable and should be stopped immediately. Environmental cost of meat production is unsustainable when it is produced through industrial farming. Passage-2 A male tiger vas removed from Pench Tiger Reserve and was relocated in Panna National Park. Later, this tiger trekked toward his home 250 miles away. The trek of this solitary tiger highlights a crisis. Many wildlife reserves exist as islands of fragile habitat in a vast sea of humanity, yet tigers can range over a hundred miles, seeking prey, mates and territory. Nearly a third of India' 's tigers live outside tiger reserves, a situation that is dangerous for both human and animal. Prey and tigers can only disperse if there are recognized corridors of land between protected areas passage. to allow unmolested 69. Which of the following is the most rational and crucial messagee given by the passage? The conflict between man and wildlife cannot be resolved, no matter what efforts we make. Safe wildlife corridors between protected areas is an essential aspect of conservation efforts. India needs to declare more protected areas and set up more tiger reserves. India's National Parks and Tiger Reserves need to be professionally managed.
