Certain words are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.The Sun while going on his daily rounds saw a princess and fell in love with her. Whenever he could slip away from the heavens he would take human form and go down to the princess to spend some time with her. The princess too became quite fond of him and would wait for him to come. One day the Sun decided to send her a blood-red ruby as a token of his love for her. He put the gem in a silk bag and calling a crow that was flying past asked the bird to deliver the gem to his beloved. Crows had milky white feathers in those days and it was considered auspicious if a crow came anywhere near you. So the Sun was pleased that he had found a crow to deliver the gem. As the crow sped through the sky with the silken bag the aroma of food lured him. Looking down the crow saw that a wedding feast was in progress and immediately it was distracted from its mission. Food was one thing it could never resist !Alighting on a tree nearby it hung the bag on a twig and went off to find some food. While the crow was feasting a merchant passing by saw the bag on the tree and knocked it down with a pole. When he opened the bag and saw its contents he almost swooned in joy. Quickly pocketing the ruby he filled the bag with dry cow dung that was lying there and then deftly returned the bag to the branch. It was all done so quickly that the crow missed all the action. After having its fill it flew up to the tree and picking up the bag took it to the person it was intended for. The princess was in the garden. When the crow gave her the bag she took it eagerly knowing that it was from the Sun. But when she saw its contents she reeled back in shock and anger. Believing that it was the Sun’s way of telling her that he did not care for her she flung the bag away rushed to her palace and never came out again. When the Sun learnt of what had happened he was furious.So great was his anger that when he turned his scorching gaze on the crow its feathers were burned black. Its feathers have been black ever since. The ruby did not stay with the man who stole it. It fell out of his pocket and rolled into a deep pit. Men have been trying to dig it out ever since. Many precious stones have been found in the process making Myanmar one of the richest sources of rubies and sapphires but the ruby that the Sun sent to the princess is yet to be found.3. What led to the discovery of precious stones in Myanmar ?

Question 33

Directions (Qs. 36 to 50) Read the following passage carefully and answer these questions given below it. Certain wordsphrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. In India innovation is emerging as one of the most important rubrics in the discourse on how to bring about greater and more consistent economic and social development. One observes steadily growing investments in R&D across the country the setting up of national and state innovation bodies as well as the introduction of government sponsored innovation funds. There have also been several conferences and debates on innovation and how to best promote and accomplish it in India and a number of articles on the subject written for newspapers and magazines as well as more informal platforms like online forums and blogs.Academic engagement and Indian authorship on the subject have also exploded in the last five years. Despite widespread agreement on the importance of innovation in India there are wide gulfs between different conceptions of innovation and the path India should take towards securing benefits through investments in innovation.Many Indian conversations around innovation begin by talking about jugaad that uniquely Indian approach to a temporary fix when something complex like an automobile or a steam engine stops working. However many observers have pointed out that while jugaad is certainly innovative it is a response to the lack of an innovation culture-more a survival or coping mechanism at a time of need than a systematic methodology to effectively address a wide-ranging complex set of problems.Another specifically Indian approach to innovation that has entered into wide currency of late is so called frugal innovation deemed by many to be the most appropriate for the Indian context. In its mid-term assessment of the 11th Five- Year Plan the Planning Commission stressed the need for innovation in India in order to accelerate its growth and to make growth more inclusive as well as environmentally sustainable. The document went on to say that India needs more frugal innovation that produces more frugal cost products and services that are affordable by people at low levels of incomes without compromising the safety efficiency and utility of the products. The country also needs processes of innovation that are frugal in the resources required to produce the innovations. The products and processes must also have frugal impact on the earths resources. Two people formulated a similar theory called the More-from-Less-for-More (MLM theory of innovation) theory of Innovation which advocates a focus on innovations that allow for more production using fewer resources but benefit more people. Under this rubric come products that are more affordable versions of existing technologies. While both frugal innovation and the MLM theory are certainly valuable in terms of bringing affordable products and services to a greater number of people; and may even be considered a necessary first step on Indias innovation path; they barely graze the surface of what innovation can accomplish. That is innovation is capable of bringing about complete paradigm shifts and redefining the way we perceive and interact with the world.Take the cell phone for example it revolutionised communication in a previously inconceivable way provided consumers with a product of unprecedented value and created an entirely new market. The cell phone was a result of years of directed intentional innovation efforts and large investments and would not have ever been created if the people responsible simply set out to make the existing telephone cheaper and more accessible to all.While jugaad and frugal innovation may be indicative of the Indian potential for innovativeness this potential is not utilised or given opportunity to flourish due to the lack of an enabling culture.Indias many diverse and complex needs can be met only through systematic innovation and major shifts have to first take place in our educational institutions government policies and commercial firms in order for such an innovation-enabling culture to come about.The one thing that Indias innovation theorists have not said is that the absence of a culture of innovation is intrinsically linked to many of the most intractable problems facing India as a nation. These include poor delivery of government services inadequate systems of personal identification and absence of widely available financial services for rural poor health and sanitation failures. This list can go on. Cumulatively the inability of India as a nation society and economy to adequately provide for its own population no longer reflects a failure of implementation but rather of a failure of innovation for there are not immediately-available of-the-shelf solutions that would make it possible for these grand challenges facing India to be redressed. Rather we need to look at these intractable problems from the more sophisticated and empowering lens of innovation for them to begin to be solved.

Question 34

Directions (Qns. 41-45) Below is given a passage followed by several possible inferences which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity. The performance of Indian agriculture is largely dependent on amount of rainfall across the country. A substantive part of the cultivable land is dependent on irrigation which is directly relited to monsoon. However agriculture and allied activities account for less than even one-fourth of the total GDP. The component of the manufacturing sector that depends on agriculture for the supply of intermediates is not very high which suggests that the structure of industrialisation has changed over the years. Several components of the tertiary sector that are crucial for the growth of the rest of the economy have grown sizeably thanks to IT and BPO. So it is less likely that aggregate economic growth will be adversely affected if rainfall is scanty. Yet a somewhat different picture emerges if we look deeper into the matter. Still a very significant chunk of the population and work force depends on agriculture for its livelihood. A decline in agriculture reduces per capita food availability which in turn pulls down the standard of living.44. Weak monsoon have adverse effect on GDPeven though non-agricultural sector activities may continue to be the same.

Question 41

Directions—(Q. 1–15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.The Sun while going on his daily rounds saw a princess and fell in love with her. Whenever he could slip away from the heavens he would take human form and go down to the princess to spend some time with her. The princess too became quite fond of him and would wait for him to come. One day the Sun decided to send her a blood-red ruby as a token of his love for her. He put the gem in a silk bag and calling a crow that was flying past asked the bird to deliver the gem to his beloved. Crows had milky white feathers in those days and it was considered auspicious if a crow came anywhere near you. So the Sun was pleased that he had found a crow to deliver the gem. As the crow sped through the sky with the silken bag the aroma of food lured him. Looking down the crow saw that a wedding feast was in progress and immediately it was distracted from its mission. Food was one thing it could never resist !Alighting on a tree nearby it hung the bag on a twig and went off to find some food. While the crow was feasting a merchant passing by saw the bag on the tree and knocked it down with a pole. When he opened the bag and saw its contents he almost swooned in joy. Quickly pocketing the ruby he filled the bag with dry cow dung that was lying there and then deftly returned the bag to the branch. It was all done so quickly that the crow missed all the action. After having its fill it flew up to the tree and picking up the bag took it to the person it was intended for. The princess was in the garden. When the crow gave her the bag she took it eagerly knowing that it was from the Sun. But when she saw its contents she reeled back in shock and anger. Believing that it was the Sun’s way of telling her that he did not care for her she flung the bag away rushed to her palace and never came out again. When the Sun learnt of what had happened he was furious.So great was his anger that when he turned his scorching gaze on the crow its feathers were burned black. Its feathers have been black ever since. The ruby did not stay with the man who stole it. It fell out of his pocket and rolled into a deep pit. Men have been trying to dig it out ever since. Many precious stones have been found in the process making Myanmar one of the richest sources of rubies and sapphires but the ruby that the Sun sent to the princess is yet to be found.4.

57115.	Directions (Q. 51 to 65): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/expressions are given in bold in the passage to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. PASSAGE - Let imagination give us two travellers. Put 25 centuries between them. One traveller enters New York, 1970; halfway around the world, the other makes his way into Babylon, 600 B.C. Over 80 generations of mankind separate the two travellers, yet in our imaginary picture they share common reactions to their respective cities: awe and fascination directed to the structures that man has raised from the ground to compete with the clouds.Skyscrapers are indeed a mark of the 20th century, but today's towering buildings have worthy forebears in the ancient Middle East. Then as now, architects aspired to lead the eye of the beholder upward. The traveller to Babylon, for example, would gaze upon the High Place, the ziggurat known to history as the Tower of Babel. Perhaps a passerby would tell the visitor of King I Nebuchadnezzar's inscription high in the Tower. "I prepared to place the summit in position so that it might compete with Heaven..." To Babylonians and other peoples of the Fèrtile Crescent, the ziggurats were material links betweenthe earth and the heavens -- between the known and the unknown. At least one ziggurat. serving as the sanctuary of the local god. was built in each city. It stood apart from the temple, much as the campanile stands apart from Italian churches or minarets from mosques.At the base was a rectangular hill of sunbaked brick. A spiral-shaped tower lifted itself from the base, with each story a different colour. Ordinary citizens did not enter the sanctuary, but priests ascended on an outside ramp formed by the spiral. Atop the lower the priests made celestial observations and with their astrology, counselled the lovelorn and recommended the best days for doing business. The towers also served as meteorological stations from which weather predictions were issued.Curiously enough, the Babylonians persisted in building with clay when they were well aware that Fired bricks were much more durablo. Thus it was necessary for monarchs repeatedly to repair the structure. When Nebuchadnezzar undertook the Tower of Babel's most famous face lifting, mentioned in the Bible, the structure was almost a thousand years old and had already undergone previous refurnishings. Completed, the Tower stood 297 feet high, just three feet short of the Statue of Liberty. The Tower of Babel Was, however, a relati e latecomer to the ranks of ancient skyscrapers. Let us go back yet another 2,400 years—to about 3000 B C.—to the age when the Great Pyramid of Gizeh was built in Egypt. The Egyptians, too. were stargazers, and with astrological calculations that were phenomenally accurate, the Pharaoh caused the pyramid to rise with its sides facing exactly North, South. East and West. : DURABLE (Choose the word or group of words which is most OPPOSITE IN MEANING of the word given in capital.)

57123.	Directions (Q. 51 to 65): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/expressions are given in bold in the passage to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. PASSAGE - Let imagination give us two travellers. Put 25 centuries between them. One traveller enters New York, 1970; halfway around the world, the other makes his way into Babylon, 600 B.C. Over 80 generations of mankind separate the two travellers, yet in our imaginary picture they share common reactions to their respective cities: awe and fascination directed to the structures that man has raised from the ground to compete with the clouds.Skyscrapers are indeed a mark of the 20th century, but today's towering buildings have worthy forebears in the ancient Middle East. Then as now, architects aspired to lead the eye of the beholder upward. The traveller to Babylon, for example, would gaze upon the High Place, the ziggurat known to history as the Tower of Babel. Perhaps a passerby would tell the visitor of King I Nebuchadnezzar's inscription high in the Tower. "I prepared to place the summit in position so that it might compete with Heaven..." To Babylonians and other peoples of the Fèrtile Crescent, the ziggurats were material links betweenthe earth and the heavens -- between the known and the unknown. At least one ziggurat. serving as the sanctuary of the local god. was built in each city. It stood apart from the temple, much as the campanile stands apart from Italian churches or minarets from mosques.At the base was a rectangular hill of sunbaked brick. A spiral-shaped tower lifted itself from the base, with each story a different colour. Ordinary citizens did not enter the sanctuary, but priests ascended on an outside ramp formed by the spiral. Atop the lower the priests made celestial observations and with their astrology, counselled the lovelorn and recommended the best days for doing business. The towers also served as meteorological stations from which weather predictions were issued.Curiously enough, the Babylonians persisted in building with clay when they were well aware that Fired bricks were much more durablo. Thus it was necessary for monarchs repeatedly to repair the structure. When Nebuchadnezzar undertook the Tower of Babel's most famous face lifting, mentioned in the Bible, the structure was almost a thousand years old and had already undergone previous refurnishings. Completed, the Tower stood 297 feet high, just three feet short of the Statue of Liberty. The Tower of Babel Was, however, a relati e latecomer to the ranks of ancient skyscrapers. Let us go back yet another 2,400 years—to about 3000 B C.—to the age when the Great Pyramid of Gizeh was built in Egypt. The Egyptians, too. were stargazers, and with astrological calculations that were phenomenally accurate, the Pharaoh caused the pyramid to rise with its sides facing exactly North, South.

57133.	Directions (Qs. 36 to 50) : Read the following passage carefully and answer these questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. In India, innovation is emerging as one of the most important rubrics in the discourse on how to bring about greater and more consistent economic and social development. One observes steadily growing investments in R&D across the country, the setting up of national and state innovation bodies, as well as the introduction of government sponsored innovation funds. There have also been several conferences and debates on innovation and how to best promote and accomplish it in India, and a number of articles on the subject, written for newspapers and magazines, as well as more informal platforms like online forums and blogs.Academic engagement and Indian authorship on the subject have also exploded in the last five years. Despite widespread agreement on the importance of innovation in India, there are wide gulfs between different conceptions of innovation and the path India should take towards securing benefits through investments in innovation.Many Indian conversations around innovation begin by talking about jugaad, that uniquely Indian approach to a temporary fix when something complex, like an automobile or a steam engine stops working. However, many observers have pointed out that while jugaad is certainly innovative, it is a response to the lack of an innovation culture-more a survival or coping mechanism at a time of need than a systematic methodology to effectively address, a wide-ranging, complex set of problems.Another specifically Indian approach to innovation that has entered into wide currency of late is so called 'frugal innovation', deemed by many to be the most appropriate for the Indian context. In its mid-term assessment of the 11th Five- Year Plan, the Planning Commission stressed the need for innovation in India in order to 'accelerate its growth and to make growth more inclusive as well as environmentally sustainable.' The document went on to say that 'India needs more frugal innovation that produces more frugal cost products and services that are affordable by people at low levels of incomes without compromising the safety, efficiency and utility of the products. The country also needs processes of innovation that are frugal in the resources required to produce the innovations. The products and processes must also have frugal impact on the earth's resources.' Two people formulated a similar theory called the More-from-Less-for-More (MLM theory of innovation) theory of Innovation, which advocates a focus on innovations that allow for more production using fewer resources but benefit more people. Under this rubric come products that are more affordable versions of existing technologies. While both frugal innovation and the MLM theory are certainly valuable in terms of bringing affordable products and services to a greater number of people; and may even be considered a necessary first step on India's innovation path; they barely graze the surface of what innovation can accomplish. That is, innovation is capable of bringing about complete paradigm shifts and redefining the way we perceive and interact with the world.Take the cell phone, for example: it revolutionised communication in a, previously inconceivable way, provided consumers with a product of unprecedented value and created an entirely new market. The cell phone was a result of years of directed, intentional innovation efforts and large investments, and would not have ever been created if the people responsible simply set out to make the existing telephone cheaper and more accessible to all.While jugaad and frugal innovation may be indicative of the Indian potential for innovativeness, this potential is not utilised or given opportunity to flourish due to the lack of an enabling culture.India's many diverse and complex needs can be met only through systematic innovation, and major shifts have to first take place in our educational institutions, government policies and commercial firms in order for such an innovation-enabling culture to come about.The one thing that India's innovation theorists have not said is that the absence of a culture of innovation is intrinsically linked to many of the most intractable problems facing India as a nation. These include poor delivery of government services, inadequate systems of personal identification and absence of widely available financial services for rural poor, health and sanitation failures. This list can go on. Cumulatively, the inability of India as a nation, society and economy to adequately provide for its own population no longer reflects a failure of implementation, but rather of a failure of innovation, for there are not immediately-available of-the-shelf solutions that would make it possible for these grand challenges facing India to be redressed. Rather, we need to look at these intractable problems from the more sophisticated and empowering lens of innovation, for them to begin to be solved. : What does the author mean by 'frugal impact on the earth's resources' as given in the passage ? - - - irections (Qs. 49 & 50) : Choose the word which is most opposite in meaning to the word printed in bold as used in the passage. : LACK

57134.	Directions (Qns. 41-45): Below is given a passage followed by several possible inferences which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity. The performance of Indian agriculture is largely dependent on amount of rainfall across the country. A substantive part of the cultivable land is dependent on irrigation which is directly relited to monsoon. However, agriculture and allied activities account for less than even one-fourth of the total GDP. The component of the manufacturing sector that depends on agriculture for the supply of intermediates is not very high, which suggests that the structure of industrialisation has changed over the years. Several components of the tertiary sector that are crucial for the growth of the rest of the economy have grown sizeably, thanks to IT and BPO. So, it is less likely that aggregate economic growth will be adversely affected if rainfall is scanty. Yet, a somewhat different picture emerges if we look deeper into the matter. Still, a very significant chunk of the population and work force depends on agriculture for its livelihood. A decline in agriculture reduces per capita food availability, which in turn, pulls down the standard of living.44. Weak monsoon have adverse effect on GDPeven though non-agricultural sector activities may continue to be the same.
A.	(1) if the inference is ’definitely true’, i.e. it properly follows from the statement of facts given.
B.	(2) if the inference is 'probably true’ though not ‘definitely true’ in the light of the facts given.
C.	(3) if the ‘data arc inadequate’, i.e. from the facts given cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false.
D.	(4) if the inference is ‘probably false’. though not ‘definitely false’ in the light of the facts given.
E.	(5) if the inference is ‘definitely false’, i.e. it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts.
