PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)
Indias pantheon of nationalism is populated by a
number of static ideas: anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism,
socialism and populist economics a la Aam Aadmi Party.
Given our changing world, these ideas have led to Indias
isolation within an otherwise admiring international
community. Pakistans nationalism is based on antiIndianism plus recent anti-Americanism because
America is tilting to rascally India. Pakistan is
internationally isolated because of this obsessive
worldview.
Some Pakistanis blame the state for being nonpragmatic, sacrificing prosperity at the altar of its India
disease, while in economic terms it is more realistic
than India because of its pursuit of free market and IMF
structural goals. Political leaders in India are rendered weak
because of the breakup of Indias bipartisan systemor
something resembling it, after the rise of the BJP. Now
the focus is scattered and people vote for those who will
give them welfare at the cost of budget deficits. The
consensus in India is Kerala-model-based, not Gujaratmodel-based.
Anti-colonialism, however, is flourishing in subaltern
studies while Indian foreign policy is doing cool business
with old colonisers and new imperialists. Some of its antiglobalisation policies that look like protectionism
posturing as pro-poor trade-barricading against global
exploitation are based on an interpretation of global
capital that even post-Keynesian Amartya Sen will not buy
and globalist Jagdish Bhagwati will abominate.
191. Why has Pakistan become anti-American? Give your
answer in the context of the passage.
(A) Because a few years back America killed terror
mastermind Osama Bin Laden in Pakistans
Abbotbabad which, brought a lot of humiliation
for Pakistan
(B) Because America is showing its inclination
towards Pakistans enemy, India
(C) Because America has lambasted Pakistan on

several occasions on the issue of terrorism

(D) Because America has cheated Pakistan in the
name of friendship.
192. What has been the repercussion of Indias
conservative idea about nationalism?
(A) Not all but some countries have appreciated its
ideas.
(B) Many countries have become hostile towards
India.
(C) India has become an isolated country within
international community.
(D) All the above
193. Which of the following is/are the chief characteristic(s)
of Pakistans nationalism?
(A) Pakistans nationalism supports terrorism.
(B) Pakistans nationalism is based on anti-Indianism
as well as anti-Americanism.
(C) Pakistans nationalism is based on the theory of
unity, sovereignty and international brotherhood.
(D) All the above
194. Which of the following is not true in the context of the
given passage?
(A) According to some Pakistanis, Pakistans
economy is more realistic than Indias economy.
(B) Political leaders in India are rendered weak because
of the break up of Indias bipartisan system.
(C) The consensus in India is Kerala-model-based.
(D) None of these
195. What is the meaning of the phrase a la as used in the

(A) In the same way

(C) Recent development
(D) Much disliked
PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)
The recently released Employment and
Unemployment Situation in India report of the NSS 68th
round (2011-12) highlights some sobering facts. Labour
force participation rate decreased for rural males by 1 per
cent between 1993-94 and 2011-12 and increased by a
meagre 2 per cent for urban males. Womens participation
rates declined across both rural and urban areas. Given the
increase in Indias working-age population, these trends
are disquieting. India adds one million people to its
working-age population each month. Its demographic
advantage can make it an economic powerhouse, but only
if employment growth can be revived. Given that the
unemployment rate among the youth (15 to 29 years) is
significantly higher 5 and 8 per cent for rural and urban
males respectively than the overall rate, and
unemployment among educated youth 8.1 and 11.7
per cent for rural and urban males respectively is even
higher, slow employment growth is a matter of grave
concern. It will be one of the biggest challenges for the

K
KUNDAN

next government.
While the need for labour law reform is widely
acknowledged, even though it continues to be stalled by
the lack of political will, other road blocks to employment
generation that lie in areas such as infrastructure, finance
and the myriad interactions of the state with firms are not
yet fully understood, much less addressed. The growth of
firms translates into the growth of employment in an
economy, and not just of large manufacturing firms. Millions
of small and medium-sized firms across the country need
to be encouraged to grow, to be part of the organised
sector, access formal finance and adopt modern
technologies.
Power, water, roads, ports and airports are all of vital
importance to the growth of firms. Without the means to
access markets, trade and commerce will not be able to
thrive. Similarly, without access to finance, businesses
cannot get working capital or ramp up investment.
196. Which of the following statements is not true in the
context of the given passage?
(A) Labour force participation rate of rural males
decreased by 1 per cent during 1993-2011.
(B) A slight increase in urban males labour force
participation was reported during 1993-2011.
(C) Womens participation registered a growth across
both rural and urban areas.

(D) One million working-age population is added to

Indias population every month.
197. How can Indias demographic advantage make it an
economic powerhouse?
(A) Only if employment growth can be refreshed
(B) Only if working-age population is imparted proper
training required for doing job
(C) Only if financial assistance is provided to workingage population
(D) All the above
198. What is/are the hurdles in the way of employment
generation?
(A) Inappropriate labour laws
(B) Lack of infrastructure and finance
(C) Lack of political will
(D) All the above
199. What is the indirect benefit if a firm grows?
(A) It generates revenue for the firm owner.
(B) It generates employment opportunity.
(C) It helps medium-sized firms.

25. C;

So, 6 5 = 30
And 6 + 5 = 11
28. B; 5 3 + 1 = 16, 5 16 + 1 = 81,

39. B; All blocks are toys (A) + All stars are
toys
conversion
Some toys are stars
(I) = No conclusion. Hence, conclusion I does
not follow.
Again, All stars are toys
