SOLVE THE FOLLOWING SAMPLE PAPER IN YOUR NOTEBOOK

READING

I. Read the passage given below

Mankind’s experience of various evolutionary changes from primitive times to the present day has been
extensive and varied. However, man’s problems were never as complicated as they seem to be today. Man’s
economic activity centers primarily around factor of production; its role, therefore, has been given a lot of
importance. It should be useful to have an overall view of the economic history of man – from the nomadic
times to the modern factory system – and study its relevance to the various labour problems of today.

Initially, man passed through ‘the hunting and fishing stage’. During this period, his basic needs were adequately
met by Nature. Wild animals, birds and fruits satisfied his hunger, and his thirst was quenched by the waters of
springs and rivers. Caves gave him shelter and barks of trees were used as clothing. During this stage of man’s
progress of the absence of any economic, political, and social system.

Then came ‘the pastoral stage’, which was marked by a certain amount of economic activity. The nomadic and
migratory nature of man persisted, and, together with his goats and cattle, he moved on to fresh pastures and
meadows. Some conflicts would sometimes take place among herd owners, for, during this period, the institution
of nominal private property ownership was not known.

This stage paves the way for ‘the agricultural stage’ during which the class system began to develop. There was
a small artisan class mostly self-employed; and there were also landed properties or Zamindars as well as slaves.
Thus, arose the feudal system. During the fourth stage of these developments, ‘the handicrafts stage’, several
social and economic changes took place which marked the beginning of the labour problem in the world. The
self – sufficient economy of the village underwent a drastic change. The community of traders and merchants
emerged.

II. Read the passage carefully:

Education in India is primarily provided by public schools (controlled and funded by the
government at three levels: central, state, and local) and private schools. Under various articles of
the Indian Constitution, free and compulsory education is provided as a fundamental right to
children aged 6 to 14. The approximate ratio of public schools to private schools in India is 7:5.

India has made progress in increasing the attainment rate of primary education. In 2011,
Approximately 75% of the population, aged between 7 and 10 years, was literate. India’s improved
education system is often cited as one of the main contributors to its economic development. Much
of the progress, especially in higher education and scientific research, has been credited to various
public institutions.

At the primary and secondary level, India has a large private school system complementing the
government run schools, with 29% of students receiving private education in the 6 to 14 age group.
 Certain post-secondary technical schools are also private. The private education market in India had
a revenue of US$450 million in 2008, but is projected to be a US $40 billion market.

As per the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2012, 96.5% of all rural children between the ages of 6-14 were
enrolled in school. This is the fourth annual survey to report enrollment above 96%. India has maintained an average
enrolment ratio of 95% for students in this age group from year 2007 to 2014. As an outcome the number of students in
the age group 6-14 who are not enrolled in school has come down to 2.8% in the year academic year 2018 (ASER 2018).
Another report from 2013 stated that there were 229 million students enrolled in different accredited urban and rural
schools of India, from Class I to XII, representing an increase of 23 lakh students over 2002 total enrolment, and a 19%
increase in girl’s enrolment.
While quantitatively India is inching closer to universal education, the quality of its education has been
questioned particularly in its government run school system. While more than 95 percent of children attend
primary school, just 40 percent of Indian adolescents attend secondary school (Grades 9-12). Since 2000, the
World Bank has committed over $2 billion to education in India. Some of the reasons for the poor quality
include absence of around 25% of teachers every day. States of India have introduced tests and education
assessment system to identify and improve such schools.
Although there are private schools in India, they are highly regulated in terms of what they can teach, in what
form they can operate (must be a non-profit to run any accredited educational institution) and all other aspects of
operation. Hence, the differentiation of government schools and private schools can be misleading.
In January 2019, India had over 900 universities and 40,000 colleges. In India’s higher education system, a
significant number of seats are reserved under affirmative action policies for the historically disadvantaged
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. In universities, colleges, and similar
institutions affiliated to the federal government, there is a maximum 50% of reservations applicable to these
disadvantaged groups, at the state level it can vary. Maharashtra had 73% reservation in 2014, which is the
highest percentage of reservations in India.

Based on your understanding of the passage, answer any six out of the eight questions by choosing the
correct option.

(i) Pick the option that lists statements that are NOT TRUE according to the passage.
1. India’s improved education system is often cited as one of the main contributors to its economic development.

schools of India.

I flailed at the surface of the water, swallowed and choked. I tried to bring my legs up, but they hung as dead
weights, paralyzed and rigid. A great force was pulling me under. I screamed, but only the water heard me. I
had started on the long journey back to the bottom of the pool.
I struck at the water as I went down, expending my strength as one in a nightmare fights an irresistible force.
I had lost all my breath. My lungs ached; my head throbbed. I was getting dizzy. But I remembered the
strategy — I would spring from the bottom of the pool and come like a cork to the surface. I would lie flat on
the water, strike out with my arms, and thrash with my legs. Then I would get to the edge of the pool and be
safe.

Along a stretch of river in northern Belgium, a small ferry is running on a fuel that, many hope could hold the
key to decarbonizing ships everywhere. The fuel being tested on Hydroville, a 16-passenger shuttle, is hydrogen.
Hydroville launched three years ago as the world‘s first hydrogen-powered passenger vessel. ―We decided for
ourselves, look, we have to start with it today, even though there is no demand yet,‖ says Roy Campe, managing
director at CMBTech, Hydroville‘s owner. ―We have to start today to make certain that within 10 years we can
already start producing all our ships on a low-emission level. It's not a light switch that you just flip over.‖ CMB
is already building several other hydrogen-powered boats, including a larger, 80-person ferry in Japan set for
launch in early 2021. The small boat sector is a great ―proving ground‖ to scale up clean tech solutions for large
merchant vessels. Ships currently emit 3% of all greenhouse gases, and emissions are projected to grow by up to
50% by 2050 if the industry continues on a business-as-usual path. Governments in 2018 pledged to cut shipping
emissions in half by 2050, but industry has been slow so far to implement measures on the ground. It takes a lot
of energy to haul a ship through the water – and there are an increasing number of ships to haul as world trade
grows. To cut emissions, some of this energy could be reduced through ships using more efficient designs,
installing technologies to harness wind, going a bit slower to conserve fuel, or simply transporting less things.
But ultimately, if shipping is going to fully decarbonize – and it will have to if the world is to stay within safe
temperature limits – it needs to find a replacement for fossil fuels. CMB‘s hydrogen programme is one of several
shipping projects across the world testing how hydrogen and other fuels made from it, such as ammonia and
methanol, could be used to power a low-carbon maritime industry of the future. These fuels, together often
called ―synthetic‖ fuels, are seen as a particularly promising option because they can be made using clean
electricity – such as solar or wind power – and burned without emitting any greenhouse gases. - Source: BBC
