Direction (11-15) : Read the following passage carefully and answer question numbers.
It is easy to see that there is nothing particularly unusual, or especially contrary to reason, for a
person to choose to pursue a goal that is not exclusively confined to his or her own self-interest.
As Adam Smith noted, we do have many different motivations, taking us well beyond the single-
minded pursuit of our interest. There is nothing contrary to reason in our willingness to do things
that are not entirely self-serving. Some of these motivations, like ‘humanity, justice, generosity and
public spirit’, may even be very productive for society, as Smith noted. There tends to be,
however, more resistance to accepting the possibility that people may have good reasons even
to go beyond the pursuit of their own goals. The argument runs : if you are consciously not
pursuing what you think are your goals, then clearly those cannot be your goals. Indeed, many
authors have taken the view that the claim that one can have reason not to be confined to the
pursuit of one's goals is ‘nonsensical’ since even strongly heterogeneous or altruistic agents
cannot pursue other people’s goals without making their own. The point here is that in denying
that rationality demands that you must act single-mindedly according to your own goals. You do
not necessarily dedicate yourself to the promotion of others. We can reason our way towards
following decent rules of behaviour that we see being fair to others as well. This can restrain the
unique dominance of single-minded pursuit of our own goals. There is nothing particularly mysterious
about our respect for sensible rules of conduct. This can qualify the pursuit of what we rightly -
and reasonably-see as goals that we would in general like to advance. What we can say about
your choice ? There is no difficulty in understanding that you are not averse to helping your
neighbour-or anyone else-pursue his or her well-being. But it so happens that you do not think
that your neighbour’s well-being is, in fact, best advanced by his wasting time on playing a silly
game. Your action is not corollary of any general pursuit of well-being.
11. The moral derived from the passage is
(1) Assist your neighbours to engage in any activity of their choice
(2) Not to think of our neighbour
(3) Pro-active move to support others
(4) Force people to take on the other people’s goals as their own
12. What can stand in the way of single-minded pursuit of one’s goals ?
(1) Giving priority to our own goals
(2) Respect for sensible rules of conduct
(3) Compulsion to consider the goals of others
(4) Pursuit of paradoxical parameters
15. In the view of many authors, not pursuing one’s own goal is .
(1) Natural (2) Altruistic
(3) Nonsensical (4) Rational

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow (46 to 50)
The motives for direct investments abroad are generally the same as earning higher returns,
possibly resulting from higher growth rates abroad, more favorable tax treatment or greater
availability of infrastructure and diversifing risks. Indeed, it has been found that firms with a
strong international orientation, either through exports or through foreign production and/or sales
facilities, are more profitable, and have a much smaller variability in profits than purely domestic
firms. Although these reasons are sufficient to explain international investments they leave one
basic question unanswered with regard to direct foreign investments. That is, they cannot explain
why the residents of a nation do not borrow from other nations and themselves make real
investments in their own nation rather than accept direct investments from abroad. After all, the
residents of a nation can be expected to be more familiar with local conditions, and thus to be
at a competitive advantage with respect to foreign investors. There are several explanations for
this. The most important is that many large corporations, usually in monopolistic and oligopolistic
markets, often have some unique production knowledge or managerial skill that could easily and
profitably be utilized abroad and over which the corporation wants to retain direct control. In such
a situation, the firm will make direct investments abroad. This involves horizontal integration or
the production abroad of a differentiated product that is also produced at home. This helps serve
the foreign market better by adapting to local conditions than through exports.
46. The passage focuses on the aspects mainly related to
(1) Indirect control over investments
(2) International orientation of investment
(3) Sales facilities
(4) Risks involved in integration of production
50. In the case of direct foreign investments, what factor remains unaddressed?
(1) Acceptance of foreign investment
(2) Non-acceptance of foreign investment
(3) Absence of competitive edge
(4) Role of monopolistic corporations

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :
The right to live with dignity has been recognized as a human right on the international front and by the
number of precedents of this Court and therefore, the Constitutional courts must strive to protect the
dignity of every individual, for, without the right to dignity, every other right would be rendered meaningless.
Dignity is an inseparable facet of every individual that invites reciprocative respect from others to every
aspect of an individual which he/she perceives as an essential attribute of his/her individuality, be it an
orientation or an optional expression of choice. The Constitution has ladened the judiciary with the very
important duty to protect and ensure the right of every individual including the right to express and choose
without any impediments so as to enable an individual to fully realize his/her fundamental right to live with
dignity.
Sexual orientation is one of the many biological phenomena which is natural and inherent in an individual
and is controlled by neurological and biological factors. The science of sexuality has theorized that an
individual exerts little or no control over who he/she gets attracted to. Any discrimination on the basis of
one’s sexual orientation would entail a violation of the fundamental right of freedom of expression.

Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow :
The state of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand have not cooperated with the central government to constitute
a Ganga Management Board. The Uttarakhand High Court in the exercise of its ‘parens patriae’ jurisdiction,
ordered conversation of Ganga and Yamuna rivers as juristic/legal persons/living entities, having the
status of a legal person. The rivers Ganga and Yamuna are thus legal persons with corresponding rights
of a living person. The director NAMAMI Ganga, the Chief Secretary and Advocate General of Uttarakhand
states were declared as persons in ‘loco parentis’.
The division bench of Uttarakhand High Court sharply berated the state terming their non-cooperation as
the ‘sign of non-governance’. The deterioration of Ganga and Yamuna is a classic case of ‘desperate

High Court in another case reiterated the constitution of the Ganga Management Board has become all
the more necessary for the purpose of irrigation, water supply, hydropower generation, and navigation.
