 Read the followmg passage and answer the questiom; 11 to 15 ;

All political systems need to mediate the relationship between private wealth

and public power_ Thosethatfailriska dysfunctional government captured by wealthy

interests_ Corruption is one symptom of such failure with private

trumping public goals_ Private individuals and business firms pay to get routine services

om
and to get to the head of the bureaucratic queue_ They pay to limit their taxes, avoid

costly regulations, obtsin contracts at inflated prices and get concessions and privatised

firms at low prices_ If corruption is endemic, public officials -both bureaucrats and

.c
elected officials- may redesign programmes and propose public projects with few public

benefits and many opportunities for private profit Ofcourse, corruption, in the sense

ce
of bribes, pay-offs and kickbacks, is only OTif< type of government failure_ Efforts to
promote 'good govemance' must be broader than anti-corruption campaigns_

Governments may be hoTif<st but inefficient because no OTif< has an iru:entive to work
ra
productively, and narrow elites may capture the state and exert excess influence on

policy. Bribery may induce the lazy to work hard and pennit those not in the imler
m

circle of cronies to obtain benefits_ However, even in such cases, corruption cannot be

confiTif<d to 'functional' areas_ It will be a temptation wheTif<ver private benefits are

xa

positive_ It may be a reasonable response to a harsh reality but, over time, it can facilitate
a spiral into an even worse situation_
.e

w

public power are likely to become ;

(A) Functional (B) Dysfunctional

w

(C) Nonnal functioning (D) Good govemaru:e
