Directions for Q.27 - 34 : Read the passages and answer the questions that follow.
Many companies around the world believe that they have a moral duty to respond to
global problems such as Third world poverty, the deterioration of the natural
environment, and endless trade battles. But few have realized that their survival actually
depends on their response. Global corporations rely on educated workers, consumers with
money to spend, a healthy natural environment, and peaceful coexistence between
nations and ethnic groups. This reality is to me a great source of hope; at this watershed
period in history, it is in the interests of the worlds most powerful corporations to work
for the advancement of global peace and prosperity. To put it simply, global companies
have no future if the earth has no future.But how, many have asked, can global
corporations promote peace and prosperity and at the same time remain true to their
obligation to secure a profit? The answer, in my experience, is kyosei, which can best be
defined as a spirit of cooperation, in which individuals and organizations live and work
together for the common good. A company that is practicing kyosei established
harmonious relations with its customers, its suppliers, its competitors, the governments
with which it deals, and the natural environment. When practiced by a group of
corporations, kyosei can become a powerful force for social, political, and economic
transformation. At Canon, we have put kyosie at the heart of our business credo. For the
last ten years, it has been Canons most cherished principle.
I began to see Cannons need for a philosophy of kyosei when we started doing
business on a global scale. As we built plants, hired workers, and managed our finances
in foreign countries, we encountered a new set of business challenges. These challenges
were more than tactical business concerns such as responding to fierce competition,
managing suppliers, or dealing with currency risk, they were global imbalances. I
identify three-that continue to trouble us. They need our collective attention as
corporated leaders and as citizens of the world.
The first is the imbalance between countries with trade deficits and those with trade
surpluses. Trade imbalances lead to an unhealthy international business environment
rife with antidumping laws, rising tariffs, and endless trade disputes. The second is the
vast income imbalance between wealthy and poor nations. Among the many problems
generated by this inequality are widespread poverty, floods of economic and political
refugees, illegal immigration, and ethnic or civil wars. The third is an imbalance
between generations; the current generation is consuming the earths resources so fast
that little will be left for the next. The earths nonrenewable energy supplies, for
example, are in danger of running out, and the earths atmosphere is rapidly
deteriorating. If we look ahead into the middle of the twenty first century, we cannot be
sure that our planet will escape environmental ruin. Ultimately our work as companies
practicing kyosei should focus on finding solutions to those three major global
problems.
The kyosei journey begins by laying a sound business foundation and ends in political
dialogue for global change. The process is analogous to building a pyramid in that the
strength of each layer depends on the strength of the layers preceding it.
Economic survival Companies in this state work to secure a predictable stream of
profits and to establish strong market positions in their industries. They contribute to the
society by producing needed goods, purchasing locally produced raw materials, and
employing workers. In pursuing business goals, however, they tend to exploit their
staffs and create labour problems. For instance, I feel that some U.S. companies take the
profit motive too far when they lay off workers to increase profits and at the same time
pay large bonuses to their CEOs. There is nothing wrong with profit motive per se-even
companies in the later stages of kyosei must increase profits. But making profit is only
the beginning of a companys obligations. As they mature, businesses need to
understand that they play a role in a larger, global context.
Cooperating with Labour A company enters the second stage of kyosei when
managers and workers begin to cooperate with other. Each employee makes
cooperation a part of his or her own code of ethics. When that happens management and
labour start to see each other as vital to the company success. The two sides are in the
same boat, so to speak, sharing the same fate. This approach to management is popular
in Japan, where companies are well known for their commitment to workers salaries,
bonuses, and training. As important a step as it is, though, this stage of kyosei can
become so inwardly focused that it does little to solve problems outside the company.
Cooperating outside the Company When a company cooperates with outside groups,
such as customers and suppliers, it enters the third stage of kyosei. Customers are
treated respectfully and reciprocate by being loyal. Suppliers are provided with
technical support and, in turn deliver high quality materials on time. Competitors are
invited into partnership agreements and joint ventures, which result in higher profits for
both parties. Community groups become partners in solving local problems. Needless to
say, forming a kyosei partnership for the common good is very different from forming a
cartel and fixing prices. Companies at this state understand that a rising tide lifts all
ships. They know that by finding ways to collaborate with customers, suppliers, and
community groups, they are helping all parties. But third stage companies often focus
so much on local and national problems that they neglect global problems. For example,
in Japan, many companies contribute to Japanese society but continue to have
adversarial relations with foreign governments.
Global Activism When a company begins large scale business operations in foreign
countries, it is ready to enter the fourth stage of kyosei. By cooperating with foreign
companies, large corporations not only can increase their base of business but also can
address global imbalance. For example, a company can help reduce trade friction by
building production facilities in countries with which its home country has a trade
surplus. By setting up R & D facilities in foreign countries, companies can train local
scientists and engineers in cutting edge research work. By training local workers and
introducing them to new technology, corporations can improve the standard of living of
people in poor countries. And by developing and using technology that reduces or
eliminates pollution companies can help preserve the global environment.
The government as a Kyosei partner When a company has established a worldwide
network of kyosei partners, it is ready to move to the fifth state. Fifth-stage companies
are very rare. Using their power and wealth, fifth-stage companies urge national
government to work toward rectifying global imbalance. Corporations might press
government for legislation aimed at reducing pollution, for example. Or they might
recommend the abolition of antiquated trade regulations. This type of cooperation is
quite different from the traditional partnership between business and government in
which powerful corporations look to their own governments for help in trade deals or
for special subsidies and protective tariffs.

Directions for Q.35 - 41 : Read the following passage and answer the questions.
If the economics of land use is given a secondary status, the same piece of land can be
put to various uses such as agriculture, forestry, habitation and mining. But no human
activity is possible without economics. This has led to categorization of land. India has 16
percent of the worlds population and only 2.4 per cent of its land area. Of the total 329
m.ha. of land, it is estimated that only 266 m.ha. has any potential for production. Of this
143 m.ha. is agricultural land. 40 m.ha. is unproductive and the balance of 83 m.ha. is
classified as forest land, of which over half is in various stages of degradation.
The increase in population has led to the accelerated degeneration of forests. Apart from
ecological services, forests provide economic products and recreation. Those concerned
with the basic needs of the poor generally tend to ignore the fundamental importance of
forests to human well-being. The average Indian villager is still in the wood age. This
dependency is more severe and acute in developing countries like India though the
average American consumes about as much wood in the form of paper as the average
Indian burns as cooking fuel per year. This is subsistence dependency Forests are
evaluated by economists in terms of their ability to provide a dead product wood. But
for those residing in and around them, forests are a living, dynamic resource. These
dependency patterns make the need for managing this resource essential.
In India, wood is the preferred domestic fuel because to most who use it, it costs nothing
but the physical labour of procuring, it. Due to its easy availability, the consumption of
firewood exceeds the recorded production from forests. The colossal gap between actual
consumption and legitimate production of fuel wood is filled by pilferage. The enormity of
this pilferage leads to excessive cutting from the forests, which depletes forests and
reduces firewood for future generations. There are limits to the resilience of forests. Any
management approach must clearly understand these limits and formulate principles to
enhance various forest outputs through silviculture. There are many examples of
thinning, selective harvesting and manipulations of watershed forests to increase the
yield of wood, water and wildlife without any apparent negative ecological impact. On the
other hand, some industrial forestry activities create environmental stresses on forest
systems.
Any forest management strategy should prescribe harvesting (economics) within the
biological limits of productive capacity and renewal capacity as two extremes. No forest
resource should be tapped beyond the renewal capacity as otherwise the naturally
endowed land use will be changed.
There are three stages, in general, in the process of forest degradation. They are selfrenewal, rehabilitation and restoration. The self-renewal stage is the moderate level of
degradation in which, following the withdrawal of the stress factor, forest ecosystems are
able to renew themselves. The rehabilitation state is an intermediate level of degradation,
the forest ecosystem may require long periods to recover naturally but this period may be
shortened through human intervention. The restoration state is the one in which forest
degradation becomes virtually irreversible, and the result is a combination of total or near
total loss of forest cover.
Forests are unlike other land-based resources. They are dynamic living systems with
intense interactions among all the living and non-living components of the ecosystem.
Man is the only component of this ecosystem, who, in spite of being a part of the
dynamic milieu, tends to place himself apart from it and by doing so causes great
damage.
The management strategy must recognize the fact the fact that there is a symbiotic
relationship between the people and the forest ecosystem. The life of forest-dwellers is
woven round forest ecology and resources and ensures that the forest is protected
against depredation by man and nature. Directly or indirectly, in the tribal mind, forests
symbolise life in its many manifestations, i.e., home, worship, food, employment, income.
Tribal people are not only familiar with the biological species around them but they also
possess some understanding of ecological interrelationships of the various components
of forests. Thus, in the present context, sustainable exploitation of forests for meeting the
needs of the nation and the people is possible, provided sound management is practiced.
The present state of non-availability of potential alternatives to various uses of wood,
especially firewood, must from part of the strategy so that total withdrawal of use is not
visualised as a solution. The development of alternatives to forest uses is still in its
infancy and there is an impending need to mobilise resources for research and
development in this field.
As far as forests are concerned, there is a critical difference between the attitude of

government officials
forest-dwellers

Directions for Q.42- 46: Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Secondly, whatever may be true of other countries, in India at any rate where more than
eighty per cent of the population is agricultural and another ten per cent industrial, it is a
crime to make education merely literary and to unfit boys and girls for manual work in afterlife. Indeed I hold that, as the larger part of our time is devoted to labour for earning our
bread, our children must from their infancy be taught the dignity of such labour. Our children
should not become useless, as he does become, as agricultural labourer. It is a sad thing
that our schoolboys look upon manual labour with disfavour, if not contempt. Moreover, in
India, if we expect, as we must, every boy and girl of school-going age to attend public
schools, we have not the means to finance education in accordance with the existing style,
be free. I fancy that, even under an ideal system of government, we shall not be able to
devote two thousand million rupees which we should require for funding education for all the
children of school-going age. It follows therefore that our children must be made to pay in
labour partly or wholly for all the education they receive. Such universal labour to be
profitable can only be (to my thinking) hand spinning and hand weaving. But for the
purposes of my proposition, it will be found upon examination, that on a practical, profitable
and extensive scale, there is no occupation other than the processes connected with clothproduction which can be introduced in our schools throughout India.

Thomas Jefferson, one of the founders of the United States of America, remarked, If a
nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.
When a republic comes to birth, it is the leaders who produce the institutions. Later, it is
the institutions which produce the leaders. The question where are the leaders of
tomorro ? can only be answered by the other question where are the nation
building institutions which can produce the leaders of tomorrow ?
Do we have educational institutions which aim at generating excellence, and which are
equipped to produce movers of people, mobilizers of opinion integrated personalities
whose minds, hearts and character have been developed in the noble traditions of our
invaluable heritage ?
I am using the word education in its profound sense. Animals can be trained; only
human beings can be educated. Education requires personal participation and
transformation. It cannot be given to anyone; it must be inwardly appropriated. It involves
cultivation of the mind, not merely with a view of offering it as a commodity for sale in the
marketplace.
H. G. Wells wisely observed that human history is becoming more and more a race
between education and catastrophe. This observation indicates what our people without
education are heading for.
The child is father of the man. The quality of education of the children of today will
determine the quality of life in India tomorrow.
In ancient shadows and twilights
Where childhood had strayed,
The worlds great sorrows were born
And its heroes were made.
In the lost boyhood of Judas

Duloc and his pals held bake sales and earned enough money to take a field trip with their
teacher Mr. Oonla. In fact they made enough to go all the way to Earth!
When they arrived at the third planet in the Solar System, they discovered that the
gravitational pull was different from what they were used to back on Nolu Si.
Mr. Oonla was curious about the difference in weight and how much each of his
students weighted in Earth ounces. An Earth ounce is equivalent to 11 Nolu Si ounces,
except that on Nolu Si the measurement is not called ounces but qinae.
He found the following:

Question 30
Kyosei, as propounded by author, if followed by corporate houses would lead to :
(1) consumer-supplier synchronised relations (2) gains in the competitive international
market for viable players (3) socio economic and political revolutions (4) renewal of
the deteriorating environment
3rd last line of 2nd para explicitly says, kyosei can become a powerful source for social political
and economic transformation. This idea is clearly stated in option (C). Thus, (C) is the correct
choice.
=========================================================================
===
Question 31
The need for kyosei in Canon was due to :
(1) international trade developments (2) financial investment at global scale
for internal corporate changes (4) none of the above
(3) need
The right answer is Co-operation for the common good, through kyosei as shown by Canon.
The passage revolves around kyosei. Canon is simply an example and so, it cant be the main
theme. Hence, (C) is eliminated. Global perspective and dynamic strategies have been talked
about but through kyosei. Thus (A) and (B) are also eliminated. (D) is the most appropriate option
choice and hence the answer.
=========================================================================
===
Question 35
As far as forests are concerned, there is a critical difference between the attitude of
economists and :
(1) government officials
(2) forest-dwellers
(3) intermediate
The right answer is the gap between the legitimate production and actual consumption.
From the 3rd para, 3rd line, The colossal gap between actual consumption and legitimate
production of fuel wood is filled by pilferage. The same idea is contained in option (D). Thus (D)
is the correct answer.
=========================================================================
===
Question 39
Forests are resilient by nature.
(1) True
(2) False
From 5th para, last two lines tell that restoration is virtually irreversible. Resilient means, stubborn
to change. So we can say that forests are resilient by nature. Thus, (A) i.e. true is correct answer.
=========================================================================
===
Question 40
The restoration stage represents a/an :
(1) reversible process (2) economically infeasible process
(4) restoration process
(2) possible
The right answer is it makes the learners unfit for manual labour.
From the 3rd line literary and to unfit boys and girls for manual work in after-life. By this the
author is clearly objecting to education being merely literary, as educated people cant fit
themselves in manual work. Thus (B) is the correct option choice.
Question 43
The right answer is in a country where majority of people subsist on manual labour it weens
the children away from labour.
The author does not say that our education system is confined to books. So, (A) is eliminated.
Also, the author does not talk about no practical training. So (B) eliminated. The authors idea
reflects that education in public schools is expensive but that does not mean that education is
expensive in govt. school also. So, (D) is eliminated. (C) option is the most relevant choice as
author stresses on manual labor and feels that our education system is weaning children away
from labor. Thus, (C) is the correct answer.
=========================================================================
===
Question 44
Pick out the statement that most closely expresses the sentiments of the author.
(1)
That education is best which makes a Tailors son a better tailor, a labourers son a better
labourer (2) Let them earn for whatever they learn (3) Education ought to produce the
sons of the soil and not take sons away from the soil (4) Cloth production is the only way
for universal education
The right answer is Let them earn for whatever they learn.
Education which makes a tailors son a better tailor cant be referred as best. Also, cloth
production cant be the only way for universal education. So, A and D statements are
eliminated. C statement talks about brain drain, take sons away from soil. So, it is absurd. Thus
the only option that can be the answer is (B).
=========================================================================
===
Question 45
The author is most likely a/an :
(1) Social Scientist
Educationist
=========================================================================
===
Question 46
The tone of the passage is :
(1) harsh and critical
nostalgic
(4)
stressing the lack of good educational institutions in our country. (4) stressing the
importance of freedom.
The right answer is stressing the crucial role of education in sustaining free societies..
Option (D) is absurd in context to the passage as importance of freedom has not been discussed
anywhere. (A) and (C) option are eliminated as they are contrary to what is said in the passage.
The passage is talking about crucial role of education to produce leader and integrated
personalities. Thus (B) is the correct option choice.

second and the third days. In three days, (1/17 + 1/12) = (29 / 204) part of the lawn can be
mowed. But as nothing about the order of working of the three, nor anything about the individual
working capacities of Ganesh and Sohan is given, we cannot find the answer even with the help
of both the statements.

Question 133
Direction for question: The following question is followed by two statements "1" and "2",
as the answer.
What are the three numbers?
1. Their sum is 61.
2. These are three consecutive prime numbers
(1) If both, statement 1 and statement 2 are needed to answer the question. (2) If the
question can be answered with the help of statement 2 alone. (3) If the question can be
answered with the help of statement 1 alone. (4) If the question cannot be answered
even with the help of both the statements.
The right answer is If the question cannot be answered even with the help of both the
statements..
Since the second statement states that the number are prime, we get that the numbers have to
be three positive integers in ascending order. Note that 61/3 20. This implies that numbers
should be around 20. Check 17, 19, 23 do not add to 61. So. (D). Note that no other set could be
closer to 61.

Question 134
In how much time will the train pass the man?
1. The 200 meters long train is running at a speed of 60 kmph
2. The man is walking at a speed of 5 m/s
(1) If both, statement 1 and statement 2 are needed to answer the question. (2) If the
question can be answered with the help of statement 2 alone. (3) If the question can be
answered with the help of statement 1 alone. (4) If the question cannot be answered
even with the help of both the statements.
The right answer is If the question cannot be answered even with the help of both the
statements..
Although the individual speeds of the train and the man are known, for finding out the relative
speed, we must also know the directions (same or opposite) of their travel. But this data is not
clearly available, and hence the time cannot be determined.
