For all the disagreement in the industry about the future of aviation, there is perfect accord
on one point: There is going to be a lot more of it. The world's air passengers flew a
combined 7.64 trillion kilometres in 2017. By 2037, that will rise to 18.97 trillion kilometres,
with about 40% of the increase happening within five intra-regional markets: China, India,
North-America, Europe and South-east Asia. That is sparking a battle over die biggest
bottleneck holding back diis growth: airports, the governments that still own many of them
should be more open to privatisation to cover a $ 78 billion funding gap in needed capital
investments. Airlines, airports' biggest customers, see things differently. Costs at privatised
terminals are higher and governments should be cautious about such actions in the interests
of expanding the aviation sector as a whole. Privatising an airport does not necessarily make
it more efficient. A study has found there was little difference between the performance of
airports 100% owned by commercially-oriented government corporations and those
majority controlled by private businesses. The key is instead to avoid structures where the
incentives for managers are confused or misaligned, such as where private companies are
brought in as minority investors or where managers are essentially bureaucrats swayed by
political imperatives. There is a better solution out there, but it is not likely to be very
attractive to incumbent airlines, airports, or passengers enamoured of the current
generation of gleaming terminals: build more, cheaper airports.
Sub questions
1.What is the growth rate in aviation apart from the five intra-regional markets?
1. 10 percent
2. 20 percent
3. 30 percent
4. 40 percent
2.Why should the governments be open to privatisation of airports

1. Because they own many airports
2. Because there is a battle for growth
3. For necessary capital

4. To limit the government control of aviation industry
3.How do airlines see the move for privatisation of airports ?

(a) feel that costs are high
(b) Governments should be cautious
(c) Interest of the aviation sector is important
(d) It decentralises the authority to control

4. (d), (a) and (b)
4.What is the key for making airports function efficiently ?

1. Make private companies as minority shareholders.
2. Provide misaligned incentives to managers.
3. Recognise political imperatives of bureaucrats appointed as managers.
4. Avoid structures of confused incentives to managers.
5.Which of the following is the focal inference of the author in the passage ?
1. Private ownership of airports does not mean efficient management.

The phrase 'public diplomacy' reflects multiple viewpoints and ideas and hence, does not
possess a unique, well-established conceptualisation. Yet, in simple words public diplomacy
is the influence of nation on foreign audiences. Public diplomacy may also be defined as
'direct communication with foreign peoples, with the aim of affecting their thinking and
ultimately, that of their governments'. Hence, public diplomacy can be thought of as a
process of a nation listening and understanding the needs of other countries and
communicating its viewpoint to eventually build relationships. Public diplomacy is based on
the identity and reputation of a nation drat is dictated by many factors : political, social,
economic and cultural. Trust has been highlighted as tire most important factor necessary to
initiate a conversation, sustain a dialogue and build relationships. The focus on developing
relationships is also indicated in tire definition of public diplomacy as the process by which
direct relations are pursued with a country's people to advance the interests and extend the
values of those being represented'. It is also highlighted that engagement and dialogue as
key indicators of developing relationships in public diplomacy, "Effective public diplomacy is
a two-way street with reciprocal influence on both the source and receiver involved in the
ongoing communication process". The ongoing communication process leads to developing
lasting relationships with a foreign audience drat bestows nations with soft power. Soft
power is an advantage in world affairs and incites admiration and respect in other parts of
the world. The soft power of a country is defined by three factors : its culture, political
values and foreign policies. All these factors primarily rest on its ability to shape preference
of others by using strategic communication skills. We must remember drat public diplomacy
is not a public relations campaign, but to create on enabling environment for government
policies.

One of the findings of the research into successful leadership is the fact that respect is
always a two-way street. No matter how powerful you are, no matter what your experience,
skills, and accomplishments, you will not be respected by others if you consistently treat
them disrespectfully. Friendliness - that is, treating others politely and showing interest in
them - is a way of showing your respect for other people, and in return they respect you. If
as a manager you are respected, your preventive maintenance strategy will be accepted as a
sincere attempt to resolve problems rather than a mean-spirited attempt to cause
problems.
As important as friendliness is, I want to make sure you are not mislead into believing that
friendliness will replace or correct poor management. I have seen effective managers who
didn't use this friendliness element but could have been more effective if they did use it. I
have seen very friendly managers who were ineffective because they were not doing
effective management things, In other words, managers who intervene effectively in a
friendly way are always more effective than managers who intervene effectively in a non-
friendly way. Maintaining a friendly relationship is another part of maintaining work
performance. It also helps you avoid having people try to hurt you because they don't like
you. It might save your life.
Sub questions
11.What is reported in respect of successful leadership ?
1. Respect depends on experience of the leadership
2. Respect depends on the skills of the leadership.
3. Respect depends on the accomplishments of the leader.
4. Respect comes out of respect.
12.The passage highlights which of the following feature of a successful leadership ?

1. Independence of the leader
2. Dependence of the leader
3. Reciprocity of the leader
4. Least concern for relationship by the leader
13.The preventive maintenance strategy used by a respected manager will mean to the
subordinates :
1. An attempt to cause problems
2. An attempt to resolve problems
3. An attempt to become mean-spirited

4. An attempt to become sincere
14.According to the passage friendliness in management terms implies :

1. Replacing poor management
2.Correcting ineffective management
. 3. Making management ineffective
4. Making management effective
15.The central idea of the passage is :

1. Friendliness is necessary for management.
2. Friendliness avoids chances of feeling hurt.
4. Friendliness is a negative factor for management

In noting the nature of human lives, we have reason to be interested not only in the various
things we succeed in doing, but also in the freedoms that we actually have to choose
between different kinds of lives. The freedom to choose our lives can make a significant
contribution to our well-being, but going beyond the perspective of well-being, the freedom
itself may be seen as important. Being able to reason and choose is a significant aspect of
human life. In fact, we are under no obligation to seek only our own well-being. It is for us to
decide what we have good reason to pursue. We need not have to be a great leader to
recognise that we can have aims or priorities that differ from the single-minded pursuit of
our own well-being only. The freedoms and capabilities we enjoy can also be valuable to us.
It is ultimately for us to decide how to use the freedom we have. It is important to
emphasise that if social realisations are assessed in terms of capabilities that people actually
have, rather than in terms of their utilities or happiness. First, human lives are then seen
inclusively, taking note of the substantive freedoms that people enjoy, rather than ignoring
everything other than pleasures or utilities they end up having. There is also a second

significant aspect of freedom : it makes us accountable for what we do. Freedom to choose
gives us the opportunity to decide what we should do, but with that opportunity comes the
responsibility for what we do - to the extent that they are chosen actions. Since a capability
is the power to do something, the accountability that emanates from that ability - that
power - is a part of the capability perspective, and this can make room for demands of duty
- what can be broadly called deontological demands. There is an overlap here between
agency-centred concerns and the implications of a capability based approach. The
perspective of social realisations will take us to further issues central to the analysis of
justice in the world.
Sub questions
16.Why freedom is seen as important ?
1. To succeed in doing things.
2. To have different life styles.
3. To understand the perspective of one's well-being.
4. To go beyond the perspective of one's own well-being.
17.Why should we go beyond considerations of our own well-being ?

1. To follow in the footsteps of great leaders.
2. To think of freedoms of others.
3. To appreciate that our aims can differ from self-interest.
4. To be able to enjoy our freedoms.
18.What is of no value for assessing social realisations ?

1. Capabilities of people
2. Utilities
3. Inability to use the freedom given
4. Ignoring the values of freedom
19.What is the inherent aspect of freedom ?

1. Pleasures of freedom
2. Absence of actions
3. Accountability

4. Well-being of the self
20.The central idea of the passage is :
1. Emphasis on variety of personal issues
2. Use of power for freedom
3. Responsibility for individual happiness
4. Need for securing justice to all

Today, in the digital age, who owns information owns the future. In this digital world, we
face a fundamental choice between open and closed. In an open world information is
shared by all freely available to everyone. In a closed world information is exclusively owned
and controlled by a few. Today, we live in a closed world a world of extraordinary and
growing concentrations in power and wealth. A world where innovation is held back and
distorted by the dead hand of monopoly; where essential medicines are affordable only to
the rich, where freedom is threatened by manipulation, exclusion and exploitation; and
each click you make, every step you take, they will be watching you. By contrast, in an open
world all of us would be enriched by the freedom to use, enjoy and build on everything from
statistics and research to newspaper stories and books, from software and films to music
and medical formulae. In an open world, we would pay innovators and creators more and
more fairly, using market-driven remuneration rights in place of intellectual property
monopoly rights. As they have improved, digital technologies have taken on ever more of
the tasks that humans used to do, from manufacturing cars to scheduling appointments.
And in the next few' decades, artificial intelligence may well be not only driving our cars for
us but drafting legal contracts and performing surgery'. On the face of it, we have much to
gain if machines can spare us tedious or routine tasks and perform them with greater
accuracy. The danger, though, is that robots run on information-software, data algorithms
and at present lire ownership of this sort of information is unequal. And because it is
protected by our closed system of intellectual property rights.

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-mindedlv 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 singleminded 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 diink 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.
Sub questions
26.The observation of Adam Smith in going beyond self-serving interest is :
1. Having one's own goals
2. Motivations like justice and public spirit
3. Issues contrary to reasons.
4. Willingness to do different things

27.In the view of many authors, not pursuing one's own goal is:
1. Nonsensical
2. Natural
3. Altruistic
4. Rational
28.According to the passage, decent rules of behaviour are needed:

1. Because of self-imposed restraints
2. To be rational
3. For being fair to others
4. Due to dominance of our own goals
29.What can stand in the way of single-minded pursuit of one's goals ?

1. Giving priority to our own goals
2. Compulsion to consider the goals of others
3. Respect for sensible rules of conduct
4. Pursuit of paradoxical parameters
30.The moral derived from the passage is:

1. Pro-active move to support others
2. Not to think of our neighbour
3. Force people to take on the other people's goals as their own
4. Assist your neighbours to engage in any activity of their choice

Smart phones have grown in popularity over the last few' years, and applications, or
content, rest at the heart of this growth. Content has become more important than
hardware and the quality of content is determined by creativity. Creativity emerges as
seemingly disparate areas, such as education, industry, and culture. As a result, convergence
of virtually all areas is receiving the spotlight today.
Convergence must also take place in the area of policy-making. Breaking down the walls
between education and science and technology (S &: T) universities and businesses and
research and education, and convergence of these areas will bring about synergy and
perhaps yield unexpected creative results. When education and S & T merge, one plus one
can result in something greater than two. Convergence can take many forms : providing an
education that develops divergent thinking and encourages creativity in students at an early
age; developing human talents required by business by breaking down the barriers between
universities and businesses, and sharing the assets of government funded research
institutes with university students. These merges form the platforms for human creativity. A
nation can only become a world leader in S & T when its scientists are cultivated and
allowed to research to their heart's content.

It has to be noted that, although certain overall results had been obtained in the matter of
economic growth in the developing countries regarded as a group, little progress had been
made towards the establishment of the new international economic order within the
framework of negotiations among nations for the purpose of applying the principles
adopted in 1974 by the United Nations General Assembly. The situation appeared to be
marked by a slowing down at world level in the effort to find a solution to most of the major
problems, due to certain inability to control the evolution of societies and economies, and a
fairly widespread feeling of uncertainty as to the future. The changes which have occurred
between 1978 and 1980 have only magnified the difficulties, so that today there is much
talk of a deterioration in the international situation. This is immediately apparent in regard
to inequalities between human beings, whether considered as individuals or groups or
nations. Overall economic disparities have not been attenuated. In many countries, per
capita gross national product remains less than $ 300, while in others it is situated at levels

ten, twenty or even thirty times higher than this amount. In some rich countries, the
average income is a hundred times higher than in the poorest countries. Particularly drastic
is the state of penury, destitution and, all too often, homelessness of those populations that
may be regarded as history's most recent rejects: the disinherited masses of the poorest
countries. In these countries, whose economic situation is particularly critical, the problems
of hunger, disease and ignorance experienced by a large part of the population seem to all
but paralyse efforts made to cope with them.
Sub questions

1. Considering developing countries as a group
2. Obtaining results in the economic growth of developing countries

Singapore has long advocated for India to take up its role as an integral part of the region. It
is gratifying to see how Asean - India relations have grown during the past 25 years. In 1991,
when the Cold War ended and India began its economic liberalisation, Singapore saw an
opportunity to deepen ties and build on its historical and cultural links with the Asian region.
Singapore pushed for India to become a full Asean dialogue partner in 1995 and join the EAS
in 1995 and since then, Asean - India ties have strengthened. All in all, around 30 platforms
for co-operation exist, including seven ministerial dialogues and the Annual Leader Summit.
However, there is scope for more and it is a must. For instance, there are tremendous
opportunities in enhancing physical and digital connectivity between India and Asean. Asean
is committed to strengthening land, air and sea linkages with India. These linkages will
enhance people-to-people flow's, as well as boost business, investment and tourism. The
India-Myanmar-Thailand trilateral highway will connect India's Northeast to mainland
Southeast Asia. While one can fly directly between India and several Asean countries, there
is still much room to expand air links to support growing business and tourism. Beyond
physical linkages, digital connectivity is the new frontier in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
India has made great progress in innovation, Start-ups and digital inclusion. There are
opportunities to apply initiatives such as Aadhaar in our region. E-commerce and FinTech
are two other areas of potential collaboration. As an economic hub, Singapore can serve as
a springboard to launch these ideas to Southeast Asia and beyond. India's role in Asean
should be anchored by growing economic ties with Singapore. The economic integration
involving 16 countries with one-third of global GDP and trade will create an integrated Asian
market.
Sub questions
41.What prompted Singapore to opt for stronger Lies with India ?
1. End of cold war
2 Economic liberalisation in India
3. Historical past
4. Geo-political equations

42.The commitment of Asean with India is :
1. More and more dialogues
2. Offer political platforms
3. Improving transport links
4. Hold leadership summits
43.What is needed to encourage tourism between India and Asean?

1. Air links
2. Innovation
3. Start-ups
4. Waterways
44.The areas of collaboration between India and Asean are:

(a) FinTech
(b) Aadhaar
(c) E-commerce
(d) Digital backwardness
(e) Trilateral highways

We live iii a world characterised by greater universal aspirations to full participation in the
life of societies. What is more, in every society there is a constantly growing need to take
full advantage of its reserves of intelligence, talent and energy. Here the need to improve
the quality of education is emphasised. Clearly, any assessment of quality involves a value
judgement that is coloured by what one expects of education. A good-quality education
should meet three essential criteria : it should be democratic, it should be socially effective
and it should be motivated by a humanism that does not allow it to be subordinated
exclusively to the criterion of productivity. This calls for a critical appraisal of die highly
debatable tendency to give priority to allegedly "practical" knowledge as opposed to mind-
broadening subjects, topics for thought, artistic expression or the philosophical approach.
The link between education and work formed another theme which was frequently brought
up. There is a grave concern regarding the wide discrepancies between education and
employment. UNESCO, for a long time now, has made a point of studying the interactions
between education, work and employment as part til its action in the field of planning. It has
to be said that it is very difficult to plan education strictly in accordance with employment
forecasts, in view of the growing diversity of modern economies and the extremely rapid
changes to which they are subject. It has been shown that greater flexibility in the structures
and functioning of education provides the best guarantee against the danger that it will be
ill-adapted to rapid change.

A business will usually go through a clear set of stages that will make up its organisational
life cycle. These stages include introduction, early growth, continuous growth, maturity and
decline. The first stage, the introduction stage, is the start-up phase where a business
decides what its core strengths and capabilities are and starts selling its product or service.

At this early stage, the founder or founders will be a part of every aspect of the daily process
of the business. The main goal at this stage is to take off to a good start and make a place in
the market.
The next stage, the early growth phase, aims at increased sales and more development. The
focus at this stage remains on the original product or service but the effort is to increase the
market share and venture into related products or services. The main goal is to move the
founder to a more managerial role so more time is spent on managing and building the
business. At this stage, documents and policies need to be developed so any member of the
organisation can see the business any time.
The third stage, the continuous growth stage, requires a systematic structure and more
formal relationships among its participants. At this stage, the resource requirements of the
business need careful handling. The focus is on the expansion of the business, keeping in
mind its core strength and capability. A formal organisational structure and a clear
delegation plan are important at this stage.
At the fourth stage of maturity, a business often slows down as the level of innovative
energy may have become weak and the formal structures may have become obstacles. A lot
of care is required to prevent decline.

Read the passage carefully and answer question
Intelligence is associated with academic achievement by most people. The various theories
of intelligence created by psychologists hold that there are two kinds of academic
intelligence-verbal and mathematical or logical. Intelligence is an inherited trait that impacts
individual behaviour' and performance according to most experts. But, many research
studies have revealed that the environment greatly impacts the development of
intelligence. Since, one property of intelligence is analytical and reasoning skills, people with
high intelligence quotient will understand the problem at hand better than people with a
low IQ.
Many organizations consider intelligence as an important criterion while recruiting. For

instance in many management schools, a lot of weightage is given to high IQ while admitting
students or recruiting faculty members. The qualities of intelligent people are high energy
drive, achievement and competitiveness. Very intelligent employees learn job - related skills
and other organisational practices quickly and organisations have to spend less time training
them. People with high intelligence have good decision making ability due to their good

analytical and reasoning skills, with a high achivement drive, they are mostly by very
productive. As the saying goes, ‘A wise enemy is better than a foolish ‘ friend ;
Even with such a high IQ very intelligent people may not always be very happy. The high IQ
makes them dysfunctional leading to anxiety and depression. Generally speaking, people
with at high intelligence quotient are often dissatisfied people.
Sub questions
56.When a student stands first in the class, the general credit is given to :
(1) Contacts
(2) Intelligence
(3) Hard work

(1) High IQ
(2) Low IQ
(3) Average IQ
(4) Good IQ
58.High energy drive, achievements and competitiveness are valued during

(1) Admission
(2) Recruitment
(3) Promotion
(4) Admission and recruitment
59.Dissatisfaction is often witnessed in people with

(1) Creative skills
(2) High expectations
(3) Good decision - making ability

(4) Freedom

Read the following passage and answer questions
Perhaps what bothered the media in 1970s was the shift in liberty being suggested. For
centuries, journalists had operated on the basis of negative liberty, or freedom from
external restraints. Suddenly, however, the thrust was positive freedom, a freedom for
pursuit of some predetermined goals. This new social responsibility seems grounded on a
school of thought that sees negative liberty as insufficient and ineffective, somewhat like
telling people they are free to walk without first making sure they are not crippled. Who
better than government is able to piovide humanity With appropriate means'' Government,
even a democratic government, is seen by social responsibility adherents as the only force
strong enough to guarantee effective operation of freedom This doe snot mollify observers
who find social responsibility to be only slightly disguised version of authoritarianism. Media
philosopher John Merrill has been one of the most outspoken critics of the theory. To him,
the proposition that pluralism of ideas should be governmentally mandated is ludicrous.
Journalists, he says, must retain their freedom to make their own news and editorial
judgements. Even well intentioned attempts by outside groups seeking media improvement
are self serving, and inevitably lessen the autonomy of journalists, Merrill maintains. This
leads us to the issue of media autonomy.
Sub questions
61.What was the basis of the operation of journalists earlier?
(1) Freedom of limited choices
(2) Social responsibility
(3) Free from outside pressure
(4) Government control
62.Positive freedom means

(2) Pursuing certain set goals
(3) Freedom with conditions

(4) Providing identified means
63.Some scholars consider social responsibility aspect of media as

(1) Negative freedom
(2) Pluralism
(3) Democratisation of media
(4) Authoritarianism
64.According to, John Merrill, seeking improvement m media, is

(1) Appropriate
(2) Well-intentioned
(3) Inevitable
(4) Self-serving
65.The passage critically analytes

(1) Operation of journalists
(2) Mandate for government
(3) Social responsibility theory of media

Read the following passage and answer questions:
There is a common thread running through the unravelling of India's statistical system. A
modern economy with sound institutions is characterised by timely dissemination of

credible data. A long term policy needs an empirical basis and issues of veracity of data will
influence investment decisions. In a country with a large population of youth, data on
national development, especially in core sectors like agriculture, industry, health, education
and employment, will be critical. Here comes the role of National Statistical Commission, a
body created to establish standards. Questioning the data veracity' is a global phenomenon.
The official narrative is always questioned by the people on the other side of the fence.
Dissemination of economic data is essential to reach out to the public who lived their
reality. Lack of data will adversely impact the quality of national policies. India must start
strengthening institutions such as the central statistical commission. These institutions must
be granted autonomy and insulated from external interferences. Enhanced operational
autonomy will make their work credible. An indicator of operational autonomy is their
ability to stick to a dissemination calendar regardless of what the data indicates.
Sub questions
66.What is important for a modern economy?
(1) A common thread

Michelangelo is famous for having successfully interpreted the human body. His great
achievement is that of the painting of David whose hands reach out as a sign of human
capability and potential. It is assumed that the time he lived was ripe for exchange of
knowledge, development in science and matured enough to advance the horizon of
investigation in all fields. Renaissance humanism stressed on a serious rethink on the nature
of art that focussed on accurate details. In painting and sculpture, artists focussed on not so
casual but verifiable and minute details. Michelangelo’s paintings are no exception to it. In a
study published in the journal of the Royal Society of medicine, a group of surgeons are of
the opinion that the great master was “afflicted by an illness involving his joints”. They have
used his portraits as evidence to argue their view. During his life, he complained of what he
felt to be 'gout’. Later he complained of his sore and stiff hands which the doctors would
find to be natural for someone who was engaged in handmade art. The doctors found
corroboration of those claims in portraits of the artist that show a hanging left hand with
both degenerative and non-degenerative changes. They attribute the pain not just to
arthritis, but to the stress of hammering and chiselling and note that though the master was
seen hammering days before his death at an old age, he did not write or sign his own letters
before his death. In recent times there have been attempts to diagnose famous artists with
diseases that were not known during their time. This practice has raised many questions,
especially on the issue of ethics in research. It is also inferred from authentic analysis that
Michelangelo persisted in his work until his last days. This theory would emphasize that his
artistic subject defied his physical infirmities.
Sub questions
71.Michelangelo lived during a time that lets us know that
(1) Human aspirations are limitless and open to new vistas
of knowledge

(2) Cross cultural exchange in ideas is the only way for human progress
(3) It is progress of science and anatomy that contributes to civilizations exclusively
(4) Human beings possess language which is the only key to knowledge
72.Renaissance painting in Europe was sceptical of

(1) The obsessive medieval method of accuracy
(2) The classical simplicity and lack of control
(3) The case and decorative excess of earlier art
(4) Expressionist technique
73.The controversy that the passage above refers to is whether

(1) Michaelangelo worked under duress
(2) Michaelangelo could contain his physical infirmity by artistic excellence
(3) Michaelangelo submitted to disease
(4) Michaelangelo survived different diseases before pursuing art
74.What generalisations do people subscribe to?

(1) Establishing facts by DNA tests
(2) Inferring the essence of character from famous people’s handwriting
(3) Carbon dating of the hair of celebrities to draw conclusion on their physical structure
(4) To retroactively diagnose famous artists and public figures of conditions that were
not prevalent during their time
75.What actually may be concluded from the above passage?

(1) Physical infirmities do dissuade people with capabilities from excelling
(2) Excellence in any form triumphs over extraneous factors including physical ailments
(3) Michaelangelo’s gout and other ailments lessened his efficiency
(4) The diseases Michaelangelo faced were due to constant hammering

An important difference between human beings and animals is the property of lanugage.
Animals have a rudimentary information process but this process does not have the
sophistication and complexity of human language. If two dogs communicate, they pass on
information but they can’t discuss details the way humans can. While humans are blessed to
possess the language faculty, most of the time they don’t utilize it to its greatest potential.
Perhaps this is because human beings tend to react rather than respond. And a lot of the
message of languages is lost in this reaction.
In the daily use of language, people forget the complex process involved in order to put
even one word in place. The wonder of this process lies in the fact that it is involuntary in
nature, the whole set of chain processes right from the command in the brain to the
forming of words from the message required to the movement of the vocal chords and
corresponding movements in the lungs and mouth takes place within seconds. Perhaps the
whole suggestion of ‘think before you speak may lead to a silent world!
In the world of daily interaction, language becomes a marker and a means of projecting
identity. The people around us identify us with a certain style of using language and
unknowingly, each language user follows this style by habit. It is not a bad idea to record
one’s spoken communication from time to time, as this will assist in removing any unwanted
elements that the speech may be expressing. Similarly, it is a good idea to step back once in
a while and read one’s written communication objectively.
Sub questions
76.Animals do not possess language because
(1) the power of speech is missing
(2) the life breath is missing
(3) the level of complexity is missing
(4) the information-sharing is missing
77.The process of language is a wonder because it is

(1) a reaction
(2) a response
(3) smooth
(4) involuntary
78.When human beings react rather than respond

(1) They lose the message
(2) They lose control

(3) They become emotional
(4) They can't speak
79.The world will become a silent place if people will think

(1) too much
(2) before listening
(3) before responding
(4) before speaking
80.Which of the following forms is assumed by the language style of a person?

(1) a reaction
(2) a habit
(3) a response
(4) a thought

Unquestionably a literary life is for the most part an unhappy life, because if you have
genius, you must suffer the penalty of genius; and if you have only talent, there are so many
cares and worries incidental to the circumstances of men of letters, as to make life
exceedingly miserable. Besides the pangs of composition, and the continuous
disappointment which a true artist feels at his inability to reveal himself, there is the ever-
recurring difficulty of gaining the public ear. Young writers are buoyed up by the hope and
the belief that they have only to throw that poem at the world’s feet to get back in return
the laurel-crown; that they have only to push as a new light in literature. You can never
convince a young author that the editors of magazines and the publishers of books are a
practical body of men, who are by no means frantically anxious about placing the best
literature before the pubic. Nay, that for the most part they are mere brokers, who conduct
their business on the hardest lines of a profit and loss account. But supposing your book
fairly launches, its perils are only beginning. You have to run the gauntlet of the critics.

When you are a little older, you will find that criticism is not much more serious than the
bye-play of clowns in a circus, when they beat around the ring, the victim with bladders
stung at the end of long poles. A time comes in the life of every author when he regards
critics as comical rather than formidable, and goes his way unheeding. But there are
sensitive souls that yield under the chastisement and, perhaps after suffering much silent
torture, abandon the profession of the pen forever.
Sub questions
81.Literary life is unhappy because
(1) One has to carry the load of being a genius while not being one
(2) The genius can still remain a genius and be amidst misery in the face of adversity
(3) Talent brings pseudo happiness
(4) There is a constant desire to outshine others
82.Young authors aspire to

(1) Equate themselves to the established authors
(2) Remain content in their work only
(3) Achieve glory by their merit yet always in a hurry
(4) Become critics subsequently
83.The perception towards the publishers and critics in the above passage is
(1) That of a scathing attack
(2) That of sympathy
(3) That of generosity
(4) That of cynicism
84.Experience and age of an author

(1) Makes the author stoic to criticism
(2) Makes the author angry and lovely
(3) Turns the author to a buffoon
(4) Drives the author to cyncism

85.The effective way of tackling criticism is
(1) To defend oneself through print media
(2) To be vocal about one's craft
(3) To become a critic of one's own art and start analysing its merit
(4) To be gracefully glued to the artistic exercise

All great thinkers live and move on a high plane of thought. It is only there they can breathe
freely. It is only in contact with spirits like themselves they can live harmoniously and attain
that serenity which comes from ideal companionship. The studies of all great thinkers must
range along the highest altitudes of human thought. I have always thought that the
strongest argument in favour of the Baconian theory was, that no man, however indubitable
his genius, could have written the plays and sonnets that have come down to us under
Shakespeare’s own name who had not the liberal education of Bacon. The magnificent
ideals that have ever haunted the human mind and given us our highest proofs of a future
immortality by reason of the impossibility of their fulfilment here, are splintered into atoms
by contact with life’s realities. Hence comes our sublime discontent. A habitual mediation
on the vast problems that underline human life and are knit into human destinies - thoughts
of immortality, of the littleness of mere man, of the greatness of man’s soul, of the
splendours of the universe that are invisible to the ordinary traffickers in the street, as the
vastness of St. Peter’s is to the spider that weaves her web in a corner of the dome-these
things do not fit men to understand the average human being, or tolerate with patience the
sordid wretchedness of the unregenerated masses. It is easy to understand, therefore, why
such thinkers fly to the solitude of their own thoughts, or the silent companionship of the
immortals and if they care to present their views in prose or verse to the world, that these
views take a sombre and melancholy setting from “the pale caste of thought” in which they
were engendered.
Sub questions
86.Great thinkers are content to live
(1) Amidst crises of civilizations
(2) In lofty thoughts with an exceptional calm
(3) At high altitudes in order to be away from society
(4) With complexities of life and find solutions to them

87.According to the passage, our sublime discontent is due to
(1) Realization of our lack of contact with Go
(2) Acute sense of loneliness in a hostile world
(3) Possibility of immortality through some channels to god and the inability to get hold
of it
(4) The contrast between the ideals in great literature and their opposite in the real life
88.Baconian liberal education is

(1) A lofty and ideal fantasy
(2) Instrumental in making human beings rue over their destiny
(3) An engagement with the intricacies of the day to day life
(4) Equivalent to ancient ideas of sublimity
89.Immortality is the crucial idea constantly being explored by

(1) Ordinary traffickers
(2) Great thinkers
(3) Gods who appear to the thinkers
(4) Scientists
90.Why do great thinkers love solitude?

(1) To be in pursuit of the ideal in the company of immortals
(2) To spend time in peace
(3) Because they are misanthropists
(4) Because the world is unhealthy for them

Geography seeks to understand the physical and human organization of the surface of the
Earth. In the field of geography, inter-related themes are frequently seen. These are scale,
pattern and process. Scale is defined as the level of structure on organisation at which a
phenomenon is studied. Pattern is defined as the variation observed in a phenomenon
studied at a particular scale. The third theme, process, further connects the first two.
Process is defined as the description of how the factors that affect a phenomenon act to
product a pattern at a particular scale. For instance, when a passenger on an aircraft looks
out of the window, the view changes according to the scale. At the global scale when the
aircraft maintains its height, he can see the chunks of clouds in all their pattern, the sun or
the moon, as per the time. When the aircraft loses a little height, passengers can see the
land and water masses in their different colours and the shape of land masses. At the
continental scale, the passengers can see the shapes of the land features and how they are
distributed. The pattern emerges as the variation of land and water and the proportion of
each. Looking carefully, passengers can note how each land mass aligns with the others and
how each mountain bears the signs of the process through which it emerged.
The processes in a geography change in a regular and repetitive manner. One instance of
this is the annual solar cycle of the sun and the earth. Most systems in nature display time
cycles that are organised in a rhythm of their own. As these time cycles and natural
processes are always active, the environment of the earth is always in a state of dynamism.
This environmental change is not only the result of natural process but also the result of
human activity. Physical geography works towards understanding the interaction between
man and nature and also the results of this interaction in order to manage global climate
change better.

Question Label: Comprehension
Indian organisations have traditionally not considered their human resource as a means of
distinct competitive advantage. Rather, people management has been a big challenge for
the Indian business head. This situation is undergoing a rapid change today; because as
Indian organisations are recognising the need for professional human resource
management, simultaneously there is a growing demand for trained human resource
professionals. At most universities, business schools have begun to offer specialised,
customised courses to train the human resource professional. Increasingly, organisations
are encouraging line managers to handle human resource responsibilities.

Ancient India was known for its occupation based hierarchy. The ancient Indian text, the
Arthashastra refers to the job description of a supervisor and performance linked pay for
artisans.
It was only after the year 1850 that formal industrial organisations emerged in India. But it
was only after India became an independent country in 1947 that significant improvement
was witnessed in the personnel management policy of business organisations.
After independence, when a mixed economy was encouraged as the Indian growth model,
industrial organisations were broadly classified into public sector and private sector. Since
the public sector units were the recipients of large investments and became the biggest
employers, their approach towards personnel management received a lot of attention. The
goal of a socialistic society enshrined within the constitution of India implied that the
protection of human resource became a significant objective. Many constitutional
provisions were created in order to protect workers. Organisations had to appoint welfare
officers to take care of all personnel.
The next phase of development saw the rise of the trade unions, and manager unions in the
Indian business organization. This further boosted the growth of personnel offices in most
organisations.
Sub questions
96.More and more organisations are encouraging their line managers to handle
(1) the whole organisation
(2) the responsibilities of human resource
(3) the offices of juniors
(4) the public relations
97.The competitive advantages of human resource has NOT been

(1) understood in the past
(2) realised in the present
(3) ignored in the past
(4) planned for the future
98.The hierarchy system in ancient India was based on

(1) the job you did
(2) the family you belonged to
(3) the place you lived in
(4) the year of your birth

99.Significant improvement was seen in the personnel management policy of business
organisations after
(1) 1850
(2) 1857
(3) 1940
(4) 1947
100.Personnel offices in many organisations witnessed an increase because of

(1) independence of India
(2) industrial development
(3) the rise of unions
(4) worker-friendly policies

Read the following passage and answer questions which follow.
Even though globalisation is one of the most discussed topics in the contemporary world, it
is not altogether a well defined concept. A multitude of global interactions are put under
the broad heading of globalisation, varying from the expansion of cultural and scientific
influences across borders to the enlargement of economic and business relations
throughout the world. A wholesale rejection of globalisation would not only go against
global business, it would also cut out movements of ideas, understanding, and knowledge
that can help all the people of the world, including the most disadvantaged members of the
world population. A comprehensive rejection of globalisation can thus be powerfully
counterproductive. There is a strong need to separate out the different questions that
appear merged together in the rhetoric of the anti-globalisation protests. The globalisation
of knowledge deserves a particularly high profile recognition, despite all the good things
that can be rightly said about the importance of "Local knowledge".

Globalisation is often seen, both in journalistic discussions and in remarkably many
academic "writings, as a process of westernization. Indeed, some who take an upbeat dew
of the phenomenon even sees it as a contribution of Western civilization to the world.

I do not wish to suggest that the humanistic elements in education are less important than
the utilitarian elements. To know something of great literature, something of world history
something of music and painting and architecture, is essential if the life of imagination is to
be fully developed. And it is only through imagination that men become aware of what the
world might be: without it. ’progress' would become mechanical and trivial. But science,
also can stimulate the imagination.
Psychology was until fairly lately, a merely academic study, with very little application to
practical affairs. This is all changed now. We have, for instance, industrial psychology,
clinical psychology, educational psychology: all of which are of the great practical
importance. We may hope and expect that the influence of psychology upon our institutions
tv ill rapidly increase in the near future. In education, at any rate, its effect has already been
great and beneficent.
106.As per the passage, people become aware of “What the world might be?” only through
(1) Literatue
(2) History
(3) Imagination
(4) Music

107.As per the passage, without imagination the progress' would become

Read the following passage carefully and answer questions from 46-50.
Intra-industry trade arises in order to take advantage of important economies of scale in
production. That is. international competition forces each firm or plant in industrial
countries to produce only one. or at most a few. varieties and styles of the same product
rather than many different varieties and styles. This is crucial in keeping unit costs low. With
few varieties and styles, more specialised and faster machinery can be developed for a
continuous operation and a longer production run. The nation then imports other varieties
and styles from other nations. Intra-industry trade benefits consumers because of the wider
range of choices, i.e.. the greater variety of differentiated products, available at the lower
prices made possible by economies of scale in production. Because of this, large welfare
gains arise from the ability of consumers to greatly increase the variety of goods that they
can purchase through trade. The importance of intra-industry trade became apparent when
tariffs and other obstructions to the flow of trade among members of the European Union,
or common market were removed in 1958. It was found that volume of trade surged but
most of the increase involved the exchange of differentiated products within each broad
industrial classification.
Sub questions
111.The impact of international competition on intra-industry trade can be seen in
(1) the availability of wide varieties of products
(2) the limited varieties of the same product
(3) adverse effect on industrial production
(4) restrictive advantages of production
112.Mass production of a few varieties of products will result in

(1) low cost of unit
(2) advantage to industrial economies of scale
(3) benefits to the customers of important economies
(4) increased cost of production
113.Development and use of specialised machinery will lead to

(1) more varieties of products
(2) decreased consumer welfare
(3) import of varieties of product
(4) hindered intra-industry trade

114.Lower product price means

Read the passage carefully and answer questions that follow :
Political 'representation nonetheless is the vehicle that enabled the re-introduction of
"democracy" into the modern, practical political vernacular. The resulting liberal democracy
does not directly descend from the ancient Athenian democracy. Between the eras virtually
nothing existed that approached "democracy'” as an actual or named political form and
when it again became a focus of politics and theory, it was wedded to representation - so
that what we call a democracy is, in fact, a distinctive kind of democracy, a representative
democracy .
While elections and popular pressure surely' have political impact, the actions of
representatives are the primary, official mechanism for translating democratic citizenship
into political power. We rely on the representative process to promote political goodness in
democratic society. But when one imagines the idea of 'representation these day's, its
association with ethics or goodness does not spring to mind. It is an impersonal process,
after all — a mechanical method by" which one entity stands for or re-presents another,
politically’ required by the need to channel the judgements of millions of citizens into the
legally' authoritative hands of a small number of public representatives, or even the
sentiments of thousands into the leadership of single person.

There is no doubt that the market as a reality and political economy as a theory played an
important role in the liberal critique. But liberalism is neither the consequence nor the
development of these: rather, the market played, in the liberal critique, the role of a “test” a
locus of privileged experience where one can identify the effects of excessive
governmentality and even weigh their significance: the analysis of the mechanisms of
"dearth" or more generally, of the grain trade in the middle of the eighteenth century, was
meant to show the point at which governing was always governing too much. Therefore, an
anlaysis to make visible, in the form of evidence, the formation of the value and circulation
of wealth—or. on the contrary, an analysis pre-supposing the intrinsic invisibility of the
connection between individual profit-seeking and the growth of collective wealth-
economics, in any case, shows a basic incompatibility between the optimal development of
the economic process and maximisation of government procedures. It is by this, more than
the play of ideas, the French or English economists broke away from mercantilism and
commercialism: they freed reflection on economic practice from the hegemony of the
"reason of state" and from the saturation of governmental intervention. By using it as a
measure of "governing too much", they placed it at the limit of governmental action,
Liberalism does not derive from juridical thought any more than it does from an economic
analysis. It is not the idea of a political society, but the result of search for a liberal
technology of government.
Sub questions
121.Which of the following played a role in the liberal critique?
(1) Liberalism as a consequence of market forces
(2) Liberalism as an offshoot of political economy

(1) market expansion
(2) too much governance
(3) growth of political economy
(4) politics of marketisation
123.What kind of evidence was needed to make the liberal critique visible?
(1) Circulation of wealth

(2) Pre-supposing individual profit
(3) Dearth in supply of grain
(4) Incompatibility of growth
124.What is incompatible with optimal economic development?

(1) Play of ideas
(2) Absence of commercialism
(3) Political society
(4) Excessive government procedures

(1) economic hegemony of individuals
(2) limit government control of economics
(3) seek liberalism from juridical thought
(4) promote individual profits

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow
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 diversifying 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 Internationa!
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 coufd 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,
Sub questions
126.The possible reasons for direct foreign investment can be
a) Higher returns

1. Low interest rates
2. Small variability of profits
3. Larger variability of profits

1. Acceptance of foreign investment
2. Non-acceptance of foreign investment
3. Absence of competitive edge
4. Role of monopolistic corporations

129.What advantage do large corporations have in oligopolistic markets?
1. Direct control over profitability
2. Large production of undifferentiated products
3. Localization of managerial skills
4. Eliminating barriers to higher profits

Read the passage carefully and answer questions from 46-50,

The pre-first world war era is really in a way well suited for an in-depth evaluation of
popular movements, as they were spontaneous and no more than, marginally affected
intelligentsia ideologies, objectives or techniques. The limitations of such spontaneity are
fairly clear, Popular movements were directed usually against the immediate Indian
oppressor rather than the distant white superior. and so were often not consciously or
subjectively anti-imperialist. They tended to be fairly widely scattered in both space and
time, and were extremely volatile with different social forms of articulation interpenetrating
and passing over each other with bewildering ease. All this makes it rather difficult to accept
without some qualification the concept of 'Peasant Nationalism' as a coherent alternative to
elite patriotic ideologies and movements, popular initiative and autonomy were undoubted,
even remarkable at times, but. unlike middle class nationalism which does have certain
continuity, at the level of ideology at least, from the formulation of the drain of wealth
theory in the 1870s onwards, the movement that have been considered were clearly
fragmented. Yet despite such limitations and crudities, popular unrest did anticipate much
of middle class nationalism in terms of issues and forms of struggle, while its specific gains

were at times not inconsiderable. Forest rights, the burdens of rent, usury and land revenue,
planter exploitation and labour grievances were all themes taken over by middle class
nationalism later.
Sub questions
131.What does the analysis of pre-first world war popular movements reveal?
(1) Intelligentsia's influence on popular movement was less

(2) The movements were ideological
(3) The movements had clear objectives
(4) Limited spontaneity
132.The popular movements were

(1) against imperialists
(2) against their masters
(3) consciously violent
(4) time bound
133.According to the passage, the issue with peasant nationalism was

(1) a viable alternative to elite nationalism
(2) coherence and control
(3) lack of continuity
(4) quite timely
134.The pre-war popular movements were of

(1) uniform social form
(2) insignificant value
(3) middle class nationalism
(4) specific gain at times

135.What is the author's assessment of the popular movements?
(1) Some of the popular issues were taken over by middle class nationalism
(2) It was bewildering and amusing
(3) It was remarkable and time-tested
(4) Pre war popular unrest was anti-imperialist

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follows:
Under the labour theory of value, the value or price of a commodity depends exclusively on
the amount of labour going into the production of the commodity. This implies that either
labour is the only factor of production or labour is used in the same fixed proportion in the
production of all commodities and that labour is homogeneous, i.e. of only one type. Since
neither of these assumptions is true, we cannot base the explanation of comparative
advantage on the labour theory of values specifically, labour is not the only factor of
production, nor is it used in the same fixed proportion in the production of all commodities.
For example, much more capital equipment per worker is required to produce some
products, such as steel, than to produce other products such as textile. In addition, there is
usually some possibility of substitution between labour, capital and other factors in the
production of most commodities. Further more, labour is obviously homogeneous but varies
greatly in training, productivity and wages. At the very least, we should allow for different
productivities of labour. Indeed, this is how the Ricardian theory of comparative advantage
has been tested empirically. In any event, the theory of comparative advantage need not be
based on the labour theory of value but can be explained on the basis of the opportunity
cost theory which is acceptable. To be noted is that Ricardo himself did not belive in the
labour theory of value and used it only as a simple way to explain the law of comparative
advantage. The law of comparative advantage is sometimes referred to as the law of
comparative cost.
Sub questions
136.What does the Labour Theory of Value imply?
(1) Labour is an extra factor in production
(2) Labour has a limited role in production
(3) Labour has the highest value in production
(4) Commodity price and labour value are directly related

137.In the Labour Theory of Value, when it comes to production of commodities,
engagement of labour is
(1) heterogeneous
(2) in fixed proportion
(3) in varied proportion
(4) capital intensive
138.Products like steel need

(1) less workers
(2) more workers
(3) more machines
(4) less machines
139.The Ricardian Theory is examined on the basis of

(1) labour value

(3) different levels of labour productivity
(4) law of possibility
140.According to the author of the passage

Read the passage and answer questions from 46 to 50.

Anyone who has ever been in a classroom where the teacher's presentation was lifeless,
static, and without vocal variety can appreciate the common-sense value of the affective
side of teaching. However, unlike the other behaviours, affect cannot be captured in
transcripts of teaching or by classroom interaction instruments. Narrowly focussed research
instruments often miss a teacher's affective nature, which emerges from a more holistic
view of the classroom. This affective nature is the foundation on which one can build a
warm and nurturing relationship with his or her leanness. What the instruments miss, the
students see clearly. Students are good perceivers of the emotions and intentions
underlying a teacher's actions, and they often respond accordingly. A teacher who is excited
about the subject being taught and shows it by facial expressions, voice inflection, gesture
and movement-thus communicating respect and caring for the learner - is more likely to
hold the attention of students and motivate them to higher levels of achievement than one
who does not exhibit these behaviours. Students take their cues from these affective signs
and lower or heighten their engagement with the lesson accordingly. Enthusiasm is an
important aspect of a teacher's affect. Enthusiasm is the teacher's vigour, power,
involvement, excitement, and interest during a classroom presentation and willingness to
share this emotion with learners, who will want to respond in kind.
Sub questions
141.When does one feel the need for the value of affective aspects of teaching?
(1) When a teacher has a vocal variety
(2) When a teacher makes a dynamic presentation
(3) When a teacher's presentation is monotonous
(4) When a teacher's lecture is beyond expectation
142.The affective nature of teaching is reflected in

(1) Deeper understanding of the classroom environment
(2) Other behaviours of the teacher
(3) The recording of classroom interaction
(4) The limited reliance on research instruments

143.Students respect a teacher who
(1) is emotional
(2) displays concern for students
(3) has a powerful voice
(4) has narcissistic attitude
144.The affective signs will provide students

(1) The basis for understanding contents
(2) Exhibitional behaviours
(3) Cues to hold attention
(4) A basis which triggers further enthusiasm
145.The passage focusses attention on

(1) Lifeless classroom presentation
(2) Affective factors of teaching
(3) Students as emotional learners
(4) Measuring teacher's affective nature

All art is a blend of form and content; and it is through certain excellences characterising
either, that the artist succeeds in inducing in us the artistic attitude. In the case of poetry,
for example, the content is constituted by the figurative ideas, and sentiments it expresses ;
and the form, by the musical language through which they find expression. Of these, the
form varies much from one art to another; and it is also technical. We shall not refer to it
here at any length, and shall confine our attention mainly to the content. We shall only
observe, in passing, that the legitimate function of form is to subserve the content; and if it
assumes greater importance, the work in which it does so marks a lapse from the best type

of art, The content of art may be defined generally as the meaning which it expresses. The
excellences that may characterize it are many, and they have been classified in various
"ways.

More generally, today's business-to-business marketers are using a wide range of digital and
social marketing approaches from websites, blogs, and smartphone apps to mainstream
social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter to reach business
customers and manage customer relationships anywhere, anytime, Digital and social
marketing has rapidly become the new space for engaging business customers. Business-to-
business e-procurement yields many benefits, First, it shaves transaction costs and results in
more efficient purchasing for both buyers and suppliers. E-procurement reduces the time
between order and delivery.
And a Web-powered purchasing program eliminates the paperwork associated with
traditional requisition and ordering procedures and helps an organization keep better track
of all purchases, Finally, beyond the cost and time savings, e-procurement frees purchasing
people from a lot of drudgery and paperwork. In turn, it frees them to focus on more
strategic issues, such as finding better supply sources and working with suppliers to reduce
costs and develop new products,
The rapidly expanding use of e-procurement, however, also presents some problems, For
example, at the same time that the Internet makes it possible for suppliers and customers
to share business data and even collaborate on product design, it can also erode decades-
old customer-supplier relationships, Many buyers now use the power of the Internet to pit

suppliers against one another and search out better deals, products, and turnaround times
on a purchase-by-purchase basis.
E-procurement can also create potential security concerns. Although home shopping
transactions can be protected through basic encryption, the secure environment that
businesses need to carry out confidential interactions is sometimes still lacking.

1. What is the current strategy of business to business managers?
1. Searching for new business space
2. Exploring new customer relations

Read the passage and answer questions

’Power' has been differentiated by numerous authors and practitioners. Amitai Etzioni was
among the first to describe individuals who are able to induce other individuals to comply
and take action because of their position in the organization as haring position power: those
who derive their power from their followers are considered to have personal power. Some
are skilled enough to have both. Position power is the extent to which those people to
whom managers report are willing to delegate authority and responsibility to them. So
position power tends to flow down in an organization. This is not to say that leaders do not
have any impact on how much position power they accrue. They certainly do. The
confidence and trust they develop with the people around them will often determine the
willingness of upper management to delegate to them. Remember, though, that whatever
power is delegated downward can also be taken back. Personal power is the extent to which
followers respect, feel good about, and are committed to the leader. They believe that their
own needs and goals will be recognized, supported, and facilitated by their leader. As such
personal power in an organisational setting comes from below - from the followers — and
so flows up in an organisation. Personal power is not inherent in the leader. If it wore,
managers with personal power could take over any department and have the same
commitment and rapport they had in their last department. Personal power is a day-to-day
phenomenon. Personal power is a critical part of haring and demonstrating emotional
intelligence.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
In the narrowest sense, price is the amount of money charged for a product or a service,
more broadly, price is the sum of all the values that customers give up to gain the benefits
of having or using a product or service, Historically, price has been the major factor affecting
buyer choice, In recent decades, however, nonprice factors have gained increasing
importance. Even so, price remains one of the most important elements that determines a
firm's market share and profitability.
Price is the only element in the marketing mix that produces revenue; all other elements
present costs. Price is also one of the most flexible marketing mix elements, Unlike product
features and channel commitments, prices can be changed quickly, At the same time,
pricing is the number one problem facing many marketing executives, and many companies
do not handle pricing well. Some managers view pricing as a big headache, preferring
instead to focus on other marketing mix elements, However, smart managers treat pricing
as a key strategic tool for creating and capturing costumer value, Prices have a direct impact
on a firm's bottom line. A small percentage improvement in price can generate a large
percentage increase in profitability. More important, as part of a company's overall value
proposition, price plays a key role in creating customer value and building customer
relationships. "Instead of running away from pricing," says an expert, "sawy marketers are
embracing it",
The price the company charges will fall somewhere between one that is too low to produce
a profit and one that is too high to produce any demand, It summarizes the major
considerations in setting price. Customer perceptions of the product's value set the ceiling
for prices. If customers perceive that the product's price is greater that its value, they will
not buy the product, Likewise, product costs set the floor for prices, If the company prices
the product below its costs, the company's profits will suffer. In setting its price between
those two extremes, the company must consider several external and internal factors,
including competitors' strategies and prices, the overall marketing strategy and mix, and
nature of the market and demand,
Sub questions
11. Historically price was considered important because
1. Sellers were always benefitted
2. Money was charged for product or service

1. It offsets cost
2. It generates revenue
3. It is rigid in character
4. It ensures channel commitment

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
According to Richard Beckhard a transformation represents a vital organizational change.
Transformation is characterized by certain features that clearly differentiate it from other
types of change. First, according to Beckhard, it involves substantial and discontinuous
change to the shape, structure, and nature of the organization, rather than incremental
adjustments and fine-tuning of the current situation. One example of a discontinuous
change would be when a firm changes from being production-driven to being customer-
driven, Another would be a merger of two organizations, In both instances, the shape of the
organization can be expected to change radically, An organization transforming from a
production orientation to a customer orientation will need to drastically decentralize and
delegate authority. In a merger, entirely new roles and working relationships will be
created.
A second characteristic of transformation is that the need for change is caused by forces
external to the organization rather than forces inside the organization. A typical example
would be when an organization changes from a functional to a divisional structure in
response to market forces or industry pressures in the form of competitor actions or
regulatory changes.
Currently, globalization is one of the most powerful external forces for organizational
transformation.
A third distinguishing feature of transformation is that the change is deep and pervasive,
rather than shallow and contained. The change affects all parts of the organization and
involves many levels, Decentralization, downsizing and the geographic relocation of
functions and activities exemplify changes that transform structural relationships deeply
and pervasively.
Finally, transformation requires significantly different; and even entirely new, sets of actions
by the members of the organization, rather than more or less of existing behavior patterns,
Examples are changes to the norms and core values of an organization that are brought
about through acquisition, deregulation, and privatization or through a drastic strategic
repositioning such as shifting from a production-efficiency focus to a customer-service
strategy.

'Being value-centred is important to the experience of fulfilment in my life’: Here the
thought has the stamp of the core concept of Value-centred’ and ’fulfilment'. This is good.
However, it has yet not moved into creative imagination of how this can be made possible in
reality.
Thus, it runs the risk of becoming an opinion or simply, a nice thought. ‘A value-centred life
is tough in today’s world". This thought formation could arise from a past experience where
life was made difficult by being value-centred. Also, there could be stories and imagined
scenarios being created in the mind, 'what if...’, ‘what if not...’, etc. This could be related to
the comfort-seeking nature of the senses and a part of the vital life-force that wants to take
the easy way out. If one’s core essential concept is fulfilment, these imaginary formations
can be halted and the thought can be frozen. Now one can note that without the clarity that
the core principle is "fulfilment', this imagination will often be allowed to fashion and
complete its formation. This in turn, will affect the quality of our life and the choices made
then may not serve the ’fulfilment' value of the individual. The idea force can use its
sanctioning power to move those thought formations that are aligned to the core concept
of ‘value-centred living" and fulfilment and make still or reject those thought formations
that-fed by Tear’, 'anxiety, ‘desire for compromised quicker success’, etc. And if a value or
ideal is not clear, it can reach back to the pure mind for further clarity.

(2) By having nice thoughts about values in life
(3) By being clear about fulfilment of life
(4) By being fashionable about the core concept of life

People seldom continue to do things that do not provide positive reinforcement, either
through external reward or internal satisfaction. In addition to its effect on the continuation
of a particular behaviour, extinction can also have an emotional impact. We could predict,
for example, with an excellent- chance of being correct, that an employee will become
surely, will complain more than before, or will have problems getting along with his co-
workers.
Emotional behaviour usually accompanies extinction when reinforcement or punishment is
withheld. Parents often extinguish behaviours unintentionally when they pay attention only
when their children are behaving poorly. If parents pay little or no attention when the
children are behaving appropriately, they in a sense, put the behaviour on extinction. A child
who wants attention — a reward — from the parents may be willing to endure what the
parents think is punishment to get it. So in the long run. the parents might he reinforcing
inappropriate behaviour; yet it happens all the time. This phenomenon is also very common
in the world of work. For example, a managers work group had responded well to a high
task-low relationship, dealing firmly with inappropriate behaviour. Now suddenly this style
is not achieving results, and followers are being disruptive and making unreasonable
demands. Positively reinforcing inappropriate behaviour generally results in more unwanted
behaviour.

The true role of our energy is to gain personal power and operate from it at all times. Today,
in many situations, people loose their personal power in relationships between boss-
subordinate. client-customer, colleague-colleague, teacher-student, husband-wife, parent-
child. Friend-Friend, etc. Often in these relationships someone plays the role of the
oppressor while the other plays the role of the oppressed. But this is a great weakness in the
relationship and it undermines people's capacity to be their authentic sieves and accomplish
what they want in their lives. We need personal power to hold our self-esteem and go
forward to succeed in our pursuits. Human relationships often deteriorate through these
power struggles and ultimately both, whether they are playing the role of an oppressor or
the oppressed, lose their personal power. Personal power can be seen as the result of an
interplay between masculine and feminine forms of power. Both these forms of power can
co-exist in both men and women. Both feminine and the masculine forms of power need to
be honoured and expressed for a beautiful presence and creation in the world. We have to
gain a deeper understanding the characteristics of masculine and feminine forms of power.

Our life exists by constant interchange and replenishment. Every day. food is needed for the
body to survive. For our vital energies to thrive every day. vital nourishment is needed. For
our minds to be sharp and intelligent every day. an increase in knowledge is needed. But a
human does not live by nourishment of the mind, life energy and body alone, but also by
the nourishment that comes by the connection with our Divine source. This deeper
nourishment is needed each day for our inmost well-being. To connect to our deeper self
and receive its nourishment, our awareness needs to touch deeper than our mind, vital
energy and body. A mere mental awareness cannot touch this inner-most space. Our efforts
too can take us only up to a certain point. The true question is. how much do we really want
to connect with the divinity within us. If it is a sincere inner urge, then at some point, we
realize that there is a Presence that lives within us and carries us forward. To recognize this
Presence when it reveals itself to us. we can begin to know its nature. It exists quietly in the
background, often unnoticed by our surface self. When we are lost in the whirls of our mind,
vital life-energy and body, we lose our connection with this 'presence'. When we remember
and sincerely seek to connect, sooner or later, the ’Presence' makes itself felt.

Marketers are re - examining their relationships with social values and responsibilities and
with the very Earth that sustains us. As the worldwide consumerism and environmentalism
movement mature, today's marketers are being called on to develop sustainable marketing
practices. Corporate ethics and social responsibility have become hot topics for almost
every business. And few companies can ignore the renewed and very demanding
environmental movement. Every company action can affect customer relationships. Today's
customers expect companies to deliver value in a socially and environmentally responsible
way.
The social-responsibility and environmental movements will place even stricter demands on
companies in the future. Some companies resist these movements, budging only when
forced by legislation or organized customer outcries. Forward-looking companies, however,
readily accept their responsibilities to the world around them, They, view sustainable
marketing as an opportunity to do well by doing good. They seek ways to profit by serving
immediate needs and the best long-run interest of their customers and communities.
Some companies, such as Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's, Timberland, Method, and others,
practice caring capitalism, setting themselves apart by being civic-minded and responsible,
They, build social linkages.

Through their work and the efforts of others, managers in all kinds of organisational
settings, whether industrial, educational, governmental, or military are attempting to run
their organizations with the management by objectives process as a basic underlying
management concept. Management by objectives is basically a process where by the
seniors and the junior managers of an enterprise jointly identify its common goals, define
each individual’s major areas of responsibility in terms of the results expected... use these
measures as guides for operating the unit and assessing the contribution of each of its
members. In some cases, this process has been successfully carria beyond the managerial
level to include hourly employees. The concept rests on a philosophy of management that
emphasizes an integration between external control by managers and self-control by
employees. It can apply to any manager or individual no matter what level or function, and
to any organisation, regardless of size. The effective functioning of this system is an
agreement between a manager and an employee about that employee’s groups
performance goals during a stated time period. These goals can emphasise either output
variables of intervening variables or some combination of both. The important thing is that
goals are jointly established and agreed upon in advance. At the end of the time period,
performance is reviewed in relation to accepted goals. Both the employee and the manager
participate in this review.

50. The philosophy behind management by objectives is to

(1) effect improvement through a joint review of achievement of performance goals
within a given timeframe
(2) integrate external and internal controls by managers
(3) provide managers scope to review the accepted output variables
(4) agree upon different performance goals for managers and employees
The ceremonial use of slogans and catchwords in educational discussions raises the
suspicion of a tenuous linkage between thought and action. As stock phrases multiply and
the talk begins to take on an idealistic ring, the wary listener might well begin to wonder
whether the lip service paid to these concepts is connected with what actually goes on in
classrooms. It is difficult in this day and age to be opposed to democracy, creativity, and
innovation in education, but how are these attractive words related to the more mundane
business of teaching practice? The answer, of course, is that the two are often not related -
a fact that accounts for one of the most frequently recurring complaints among today's
educators: the all-too-obvious gap between theory (i.e., educational talk) on the one hand
and practice on the other.
The dissonance between what teachers say, or at least what their leaders say, and what
they do takes many forms and has several important consequences. For some, it lays the
groundwork for the development of a cynical outlook towards the admonitions of idealists
and the advocates of new and supposedly revolutionary practices. This cynicism, which

grows out of a prior sense of disillusionment strikes many young teachers as they begin to
appreciate the unrealistic quality of several of the expectations aroused during the period of
their professional training. Teaching as actually experienced and as described in textbooks
and college courses often turns out to be to quite different states of affairs. The result is
that college instructors of education and other outsiders begin to be looked upon with
suspicion by many practitioners. Even the testimony of fellow teachers may be viewed
suspiciously when it conflicts with the listener's own experience in the classroom.

Two paradoxes inform and problematize every discursive and practical employment of
"human rights". The first is substantive and directly political; it concerns the relation
between "the human" and "the political", and belongs to the domain of political ethics in
general. The other is more nearly epistemological and moral: it addresses the issue of how
one understands and practices the relationship between idea and actuality, or moral
universality and cultural relativity. Each stems from the fact that human rights would cobble
together two kinds of concepts and practical relations that are not innately friendly and
treats them as one. ignoring the inherent absence of complementarity in their relationship.
Thus, the discourse of human rights synthesizes and occludes paradoxical features of the
origins, history and character of human rights as an idea and a practice, making it far from
self-evident as a conceptual "thing" or guide to moral and political practice. Paradox has
always marked the invocation of human rights. Since their discursive inception, the initial
paradoxes have not been solved so much as layered by new iterations of them - namely,
that initiated in the LTD HR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights), which identifies
governments as the promissories for enforcement of human rights. Joining the paradoxes is
an overarching feature that articulates human rights as a trans-political phenomenon
besides being a political phenomenon designed to uplift all human societies.

If so much of present day cultural learning depends on situation and context how do the
resulting assemblages acquire an organised coherence? One way this issue is being raised in
recent anthropology is through the concern with identity, whether defined as identity of the
person of an ethnic group or of an entire nation. But identities do not swim above in the
stream of social life like amoebas in fermenting banana soup. If definitions of identity
involve a characterisation of attributes and a drawing of boundaries around the units so
defined, in contrast with other units, this must have a causal context. Moreover, we know'
that the search for identity varies historically, intensifying or slackening over periods of
time. Thus, a major rise occurred in the demand for identity with the advent of the nation-
state and the collateral development of nationalism, which hoped to create a unified and
identifiable 'people', out of diverse populations with distinctive identities of their own.

Recently, the demand for identities has risen once again, precisely at a time when cultural
repertoires are becoming again more heterogeneous, as people have responded to changes
in the social division of labour, in their relation to governments, in reaction to new' modes
of communication. These repertoires of cultural understandings and practices do not easily
fit any traditional notion of culture as an integral and integrated set of forms and meanings.

(3) Integrated sets of meanings
(4) The creation of a strong nation-state
In Skinner's system, reinforcement is automatic, almost by definition. Perhaps the most
convincing demonstration of the automatic effect of a reinforcer is what Skinner (1948) has
called "superstitious behaviour', In this situation, an event known to be reinforcing is
presented intermittently without respect to what the subject is doing, But if it is doing
anything (and this can be made likely through deprivation, etc,), the response just prior to
the delivery of the reinforcer is strengthened, as evidenced by an increase in its rate of
emission. The subject comes to "act as if" the response that has been fortuitously
strengthened somehow produces the reinforcement. This occurs even though the reinforcer
is actually delivered by a mechanical device that is in no way responsive to the subject's
behaviour,
The automatic effect of reinforcement is also illustrated in Skinner's effective techniques of
shaping behaviour. These procedures could hardly have sprung from a point of view that
regarded all behaviour as elicited, But with the organism viewed as "emitting" the varied
responses already in his repertoire, it was an easy step to conceive of shaping, If the
observer simply controlled the quick presentation of a reinforcer, then he could strengthen
any behaviour the organism happened to emit Responses not in the subject's repertoire
could then be built into it by appropriate arrangements of environmental conditions and the
successive approximation technique,

To be swayed by emotions can surely be a problem, but otherwise., emotions are such a
wealth within us that they are rightly called a source of human energy, information and
influence.

When we understand them well and handle them wisely, they can help us mend fences or
move mountains. They touch our hearts and a rich life is necessarily one that is centred in
the heart. To love and be loved is the greatest privilege of life, said Chinmaya, the popular
teacher of the Vedanta.
To put in efforts towards understanding our own and others' emotions leads to an
enhancement of our Emotional Quotient (EQ). By broadening our outlook, we can discard
false judgments and this leads to the rise of healthy emotions within us. Just to be aware of
the factors that activate particular emotions that arise in us, paves the way to a better
handling of these forces at work. We need to train ourselves to be rightly assertive in the
face of injustice or some unfair treatment meted out to us. This means that we rise above all
passivity that is inaction and at the same time avoid aggressive behaviour that could be
harsh or violent. Even skills that we develop to handle stress fall under emotional maturity
for a lot of stress is the result of certain negative emotions making situations look darker
than what they actually are.
Developing empathy is another aspect of emotional growth, where we "emotionally read"
others and thus relate with them very accurately rather than in some imagined way.

At the turn of the century, a dominant conception of the child as learner was that he was
cognitively an "empty organism" responding more or less randomly to stimulation, and
characteristically learning when specific responses were connected with specific stimuli
through the meditation of pleasure or pain. The organism itself, it was believed, would do
nothing to learn or think if it were not impelled to such activity by primary drives like hunger
or thirst or by externally applied motives like reward and punishment. Experimenters in the
laboratory were connecting correct responses of animals to puzzle boxes by giving or
withholding food and teachers in the classroom were connecting correct responses of
children to problem cards by giving or withholding approval.
In pointing to this aspect of the turn-of-the-century view of the learner, I do not mean to
derogate the historic achievement of the connectionist formulation of learning. But the
essential point remains, a conception of the learner as an ideationally empty organism

associating discrete stimuli and responses through the operation of rewards and
punishments under the control of the teacher. Both the stimulus - what was supposed to be
learned - and the response - what was actually learned - were believed to be determined by
the teacher.
It was no accident that the materials and methods of instruction and the form of the
classroom were teacher-centred. The teacher was necessarily placed in front of the
classroom -sometimes on a dais or platform - and the pupils in chairs rigidly fastened to the
floor in straight rows facing forward so they would not turn away from the only source of
the learning experience: the teacher. Given this contemporary vision of the learner, what
could be a more eminently practical and sensible image of the ideal learning environment?
Indeed, there is a letter by John Dewey dating from this period in which he complains that
when he was trying to equip his new school according to his different conception of child as
learner, he was unable to find any other kind of classroom furniture.
Sub questions
76. The early child was thought of as
1. Intelligent enough to know both pain and pleasure
2. Having no power of cognition
3. Not amenable to specific stimuli

2. Considering hunger and thirst as negligible in impact
3. Animals and children having the same drive
4. Teachers controlling children
78. The connectionist formula placed importance on

1. Withholding negative stimuli
2. Teacher-centric motivation
3. Search for specific responses
4. Doing experiments in laboratories

79. What was expected of pupils during those early days?
1. To create an ideal learning environment
2. To be in the forefront of the classroom
3, Be attentive towards classroom teaching
4, To place the teacher on the higher pedestal
80. What did John Dewey say of child learning?

1. Teacher as the only source of knowledge
2. The learner should be given incentives for learning
3. The existing educational environment was ideal
4. The focus should be on child as a learner
The representative dimension of the new liberal political orders designed to protect
individual rights, appeared as the best mechanism for actualizing popular rule or sovereignty
- indeed democracy. As a result, it is more beneficial to assess the meaning and value of
'rights' as historical and political practices, rather than conceptual forms (especially as
counterparts to 'virtue'). In this respect, the discourse of rights reflected a new official mode
of combining ethics and power for political conduct. But the formally equal treatment of
citizens belied a relatively arbitrary element, for the involvement of the citizenry in shaping
the conduct of their representatives was left to elite influenced election procedures,
qualifications and voluntary participation. Still, representation became the mythical means
of transposing the authorizing power of the people to the new authorities in government.
After all. representatives had more time and money to perfect their virtue and skill in
conducting their work and were not supposed to be corrupted by the power that attended
their offices. They were supposed to be better guardians and agents of public virtue than
ordinary citizens as representation became institutionalized in the new states. The state
wielded power over the people, diversifying rather than restricting the problems of
demagoguery in ancient democracy that modern republics were supposed to correct
Sub questions

84. What was expected of public representatives?

1. Use power for personal gains
2. Behave like ordinary citizens

Under a freely flexible exchange rate system and a stable foreign exchange market, the
nation's currency will depreciate until the monetary deficit is entirely eliminated. Under a
managed float, the nation's monetary authorities usually do not allow the full depreciation
required to eliminate the deficit completely. Under a fixed exchange rate system, the
exchange rate can depreciate only within the narrow limits allowed so that, most of the

balance of payments adjustment must come from elsewhere. A depreciation to the extent
that it is allowed, stimulates production and income in the deficit nation and induces
imports to rise, thus reducing part of the original improvement in the trade balance
resulting from the depreciation under a freely flexible exchange rate system. This simply
means that the depreciation needed to eliminate a balance-of-payment deficit is larger than
if these automatic income changes were not present. Except under a freely flexible
exchange rate system, a balance-of-payment tends to reduce the nation's money supply,
thus increasing its interest rates. This, in turn, reduces domestic investment and income in
the deficit nation, which induces its imports to fall and thereby reduces the deficit. The
increase in interest rates also attracts foreign capital, which helps the nation finance the
deficit. The reduction in income and in the money supply also causes prices in the deficit
nation to fall relative to prices in the surplus nation, thus further improving the balance of
trade of the deficit nation.
Sub questions
86. What is needed to completely eliminate the monetary deficit?
1. Conditioned exchange rate
2. Complete currency depreciation
3. Volatile foreign exchange market
4. Free exchange rate system
87. Why full depreciation is not allowed?

1. BoP adjustment should come from elsewhere
2, Because of foreign exchange shortage
3. For improving trade balance
4, Full depreciation does not eliminate deficit,
88. Limited depreciation of currency is allowed to

1. Nullify trade balance under free exchange rate system
2. Restrict foreign investment
3. Increase domestic production
4. Curtail higher income

89. What happens under a free exchange system?
1. Reduction in money supply
2. Larger depreciation in the absence of automatic income changes
3. Increase in interest rates
4. Less domestic investment
90. According to the passage, deficit in balance of payments leads to

1. Price increase in the deficit nation
2. Automatic adjustments in income
3. Fall in import by surplus nations
4. Improvements in the trade balance of the deficit nation
The logic of preponderance of one state over the other as a pacifying condition is challenged
in balance-of-power theory, which is based on the premise that two states or coalitions of
states are unlikely to go to war if there is an approximate parity or equilibrium in their
capabilities. According to this theory, it is usually the stronger state that goes to war in order
to dominate its weaker opponents. Hegemony of a single actor is the most dangerous
condition, because the hegemonic state will be encouraged to impose its will on others.
When a hegemonic state emerges, weaker states, fearing domination or extinction, will
therefore flock together in order to prevent conquest or domination by the stronger side.
This balance-of-power logic has fundamental problems when confronted with situations in
which a stronger state is content with the status quo but a wreaker state becomes an
aggressor due to dissatisfaction with a territorial or political order. For the weaker party to
go on the offensive, however. it requires some advantage that enables it to sustain the
conflict for an extended period. Although equality of capability is often difficult to measure .
it is fairly accurate to argue that challengers in a rivalry dyad must have some capacity to
maintain an enduring rivalry. If the power differential is too high, then logically the weaker
party should eventually give up the conflict. Although there are exceptions to this general
principle, they are few in number.

Initially, most children want to do well in school. But the student who has experienced
consistent failure in the classroom tends to lower his own expectations concerning school
success. He may direct his energy outside the classroom to athletics or youth gangs or to
other areas where he can experience the satisfaction of success. The student who has been
negatively evaluated in the classroom rationalizes that school is not important to him
because he believes it is impossible for him to succeed there.
If a student is to continue to expect to do well in school, he needs to receive some positive
evaluations for his academic performance. If an individual is to develop a positive concept of
himself as a student, he needs to perform competently and to receive evaluations that he
interprets to be positive within his own frame of reference. When the student is perceived
as a less competent learner, forces are set in motion that reduce the chances that his
potential will be developed to its fullest extent in school. The other students and his
teachers may come to view him as having less potential than he really has. The academic
goals he sets for himself and those that are set for him by his well-intentioned teachers may
not sufficiently challenge his true abilities. A student may divert his own personal resources
to non academic areas because he believes that success in academic subjects is not open to
him. If he does not apply his maximum efforts to learning school subjects, he may fail to
acquire some of the skills and knowledge he needs as a basis for further learning.
Sub questions
96. A student, who is consistently poor performer in the class room, will
(1) Strive hard to achieve his goals later.
(2) Lower the image of the school in his eyes.
(3) Aggressively complete with classmates outside the school
(4) Not expect much success in the school.
97. What is the likely impact of negative evaluation of the student in the classroom?
(1) He will be jealous of his classmates.
(2) He will divert his attention to other fields for success.
(3) He will perform well in athletics.
(4) He gets into a state of depression.
98. Positive evaluation of a student's academic performance will help him to

(1) perform well in future also
(2) take up athletics
(3) make friends

(4) be considered as a role model by other students
99. When a student is considered as less than competent what can be the outcome?
(1) He may feel that his potential is not properly assessed.
(2) He may think that others do not want him to succeed in academics.
(3) Others in the school may rate his potential less than what he actually possesses.
(4) He may divert his personal resources to non-academic areas.
100. The gist of the passage is that

(1) A less competent student should seek his future in areas other than academics.
(2) He should put maximum efforts to have a successful academic performance.
(3) Teachers should motivate him to use his personal resources properly.
(4) He should evaluate his own skills and knowledge as against teacher’s expectations.
Much is still unknown about human behavior, Unanswered questions remain and further
research is necessary. Knowledge about motivation, leader behavior, and change will
continue to be of great concern to practitioners of management for several reasons: It can
help improve the effective leadership of human resources; it can help in preventing
resistance to change, restriction to output, and personnel disputes; and often it can lead to
a more productive organization. Our intention has been to provide a conceptual framework
that may be useful to you in applying the conclusions of the behavior sciences. The value
that a framework of this kind has is not in changing one's knowledge, but in changing one's
behavior in working with people.
We have discussed three basic competencies in influencing: diagnosing - being able to
understand and interpret the situation you are attempting to influence; adapting - being
able to adapt your behavior and the resources you control to the contingencies of the
situation; and communicating - being able to put the message in such a way that people can
easily understand and accept it. Each of these competencies is different and requires a
different developmental approach. For example, diagnosing is cognitive or of the mind in
nature and requires thinking skills; adapting is behavioral in nature and requires behavioral
practice; and communicating is process-oriented and requires learning and interrelating the

key steps in the process. Because these three competencies require different knowledge
and skills, how do we continue the process that we started with.
The key to starting the process of changing behavior is sharing what you have learned with
other people in your own organization. Two things occur when people who work together
all have a common language, First, they are able to give each other feedback and help in a
very rational, unemotional way that effects behavior.
Second, when followers start to realize that if their manager is using situational leadership,
it is not the manager, but their behavior, that determines the leadership style to be used
with them.
Sub questions
101. Which of the; following prohibits resistance to change?
1. Knowledge of leader behaviour
2. Removing restriction on output
3. Personnel disputes
4. Non-productive organisation
102. What is the value outcome of applying a theoretical framework of

behavioural science?
1. Changes in one's own knowledge
2. Change in one's behavior while working with others
3. Not understandable human behaviour
4. Emergence of value-loaded framewok
103. Each of the basic competencies needs

1. Exclusivity
2. Situational contingency
3., Inter-relation with others
4. A different approach in acquiring it
104. What prompts a change in a person's behaviour?

1, Leadership style
2. Situational support to the managers
3.

3, Sharing of learning outcomes with others in the organization
4, Segregation of competencies
105. The inferences that can be drawn from the passage are
A. Common language among people in an organization will ensure unbiased feedback
B. People are known for fluctuating behaviour
C. People's behaviour influences the leader
D. Emotions and human behaviour are separate and easily explicable

4. A and C only
If the vision of the learner in the initial period was predominantly as an empty organism and
in the next as an active organism, in the period that followed it was as a social organism, The
beliefs regarding the nature of the learner in the first period drew heavily from the
associationist view of the human being in the second from the Gestalt and personalistic
views; later they also drew from the emerging social psychological and group dynamic
views.
The child as learner as envisioned as a social organism, and learning was perceived as
occurring through interpersonal actions and reactions, each person in the classroom serving
as a stimulus for every other person, It is hard to overemphasize the impact on the
classroom of the "group climate" concepts and studies by Lewin and his associates
beginning in the late 1930sr which were given added cogency by the ideological issues of
World War II. Innumerable treatises, textbooks, and programs applied these ideas and
findings to the classroom, and such terms as "authoritarian", 'democratic", and "laissez-
faire' became, for good or ill, integral parts of the educational vocabulary, Experimenters in
the learning laboratory became concerned with such previously unheard-of matters as
"interpersonal cohesion' and 'small group processes", and teachers in the classroom with
"sociometric structure" and 'group dynamics',
Concomitant changes in the image of the ideal classroom could again be observed. If the
child is primarily a social organism, then the objectives of his education should be primarily
social in character, And if learning is a social or group process, then a circular or group-
centred classroom where everyone faces everyone else (as once they had been forced to

face only the teacher) is the most sensible and practical, even necessary, learning
environment. And this indeed became a favourite image of the classroom.
Sub questions
106. The first vision of the child as a learner was
1. Personalistic
2. Social
3. Humanistic
4. Associatianistic
107. In the social organistic view, learning occurred through

1, Each individual acting as a stimulus
2, Reactionary measures
3, A non-competitive environment
4, Each person holding fort for others
108. The group climate of the classroom got reinforced by

1. Social issues
2. Ideological issues
3. Inter-personal issues
4. Individual issues
109. In the learning laboratory, the focus shifted to

1, Production of textbooks
2, Creation of educational vocabulary
3, Democratisation of the process
4, Understanding group dynamics
110. The author of the passage is in favour of the idea of

1. Vertical learning
2. Laboratory learning

3. Circular learning
4. Teacher-focussed learning
Birds are under severe stress and strain because of human activities and many of them are
facing a threat to their survival. The threats come in various ways, such as habitat loss and
damage to ecosystems, agricultural and industrial activities and issues like pesticide
poisoning and effluent discharges, urbanization and to some extent, hunting and pet trade.
A study has noted both long-term and recently recorded annual losses. Some species which
were categorised as being of "least concern" by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature (IUCN) were found to be seriously endangered. There are reasons for "high concern"
over 52% of the species which figured in the study. Some geographical areas present greater
threats to them than others. Some species which are found in the Western and the Eastern
Ghats are fast dwindling. The Western Ghats, a great home for many birds, have seen the
numbers of some of them dwindle as much as 75% in the last two decades. The ecological
changes in the Terai grasslands in Northern India have adversely affected birds endemic to
them and many migratory species.
Amidst the bleak news, one bright sport is about the sparrows which had disappeared from
cities but are now found to be stable in numbers in other areas. That shows some resilience
but the conditions that helped them to survive may not be available to other birds.
Protection of habitats and other steps to save the birds should get high priority. We are yet
to realise that the disappearance of birds from nature or the diminution of their numbers
will make life difficult for us. Nature and life-forms that it supports are crucially dependent
on each other and the link should not be snapped.
Sub questions
111. The survival of birds in the ecosystem is under threat because of

(1) conflict with nature
(2) increased population
(3) growing international concerns
(4) fast rate of developmental activities
112. Most of species have fallen into the category of being

(1) highly endangered
(2) of least concern
(3) of moderate concern

(4) useful for survival of man
113. The fast paced dwindling of certain unique species of birds can be seen
(1) all over the country
(2) in some sensitive biological hotspots in the country
(3) in specific geographical areas
(4) in the grasslands of the Terai region
114. What is one of the positive signs in view of these concerns?

(1) migration of birds to grasslands
(2) climate change for better
(3) increase in protective habitats
(4) stability of survival in areas other than urban
115. The message flowing from the passage is that

(1) man is manipulating nature
(2) it is time to take international reports on bird extinction seriously
(3) all life forms on the planet are inter-dependent
(4) resilient conditions have not improved the future of birds.
