Directions for Questions 1 to 5: Read Passage One and
answer the questions that follow.
PASSAGE ONE
Our thinking about the dimensions of emotional intelligence
(EI) and their accompanying competencies has evolved and
streamlined as new data has been analysed. Readers familiar
with earlier versions of emotional intelligence model will
notice some changes here. Where we formerly listed five
domains of EI, we now have simplified the model into four
domains: self awareness, self management, social
awareness and relationship management - with eighteen
competencies instead of the original twenty five. For
instance, an EI domain would be social awareness; a
competency in that domain would be empathy or service.
The result is an EI model that more clearly links specific
clusters of competencies to the underlying brain dynamics
that drive them. Recent findings about emotions and the
brain make clearer the neurological basis of these
competencies. This lets us sketch their dynamics more
thoroughly, while providing practical guidelines for building
leadership skills. These EI competencies are not innate
talents but learned abilities, each of which has a unique
contribution to making leaders more resonant, and
therefore more effective. Guided by the neurology
underlying EI framework, we can make a sharp distinction
between what works and what does not when it comes to
learning the art of leadership.
The basic argument in a nut shell is that primal leadership
operates better through emotionally intelligent leaders
who create resonance. Underlying that proposition is the
theory of performance, one that surfaces the link between
the neurology of the four fundamentals of emotional
intelligence and the EI competencies that build on these
fundamentals. These EI competencies are in turn the
building blocks of the modes of leadership that foster
resonance in the group. Interestingly, no leader we have
ever encountered, no matter how outstanding, has
strengths across board in every one of the many El
competencies. Highly effective leaders typically exhibit a
critical mass of strength in half a dozen or so EI
competencies. Moreover there is no fixed formula for
great leadership: There are many paths to excellence and
super leaders can possess very different personal styles.
1
Still, we find that effective leaders typically demonstrate
strengths in at least one competence from each of the four
fundamental areas of emotional intelligence.
(Adapted from The New Leaders by Daniel Goleman. Little
Brown, p 37-38)
1. Based on the new data, the following conclusion can
be drawn about the new model of emotional
intelligence.
(a) The new simplified model of EI has five
domains with eighteen competencies instead
of the original twenty five competencies.
(b) Twenty five competencies go to make four
domains of emotional intelligence while the
earlier model had five domains with eighteen
competencies.
(c) Formerly, five domains of EI were listed, but
the new simplified model has four domains
with eighteen competencies instead of the
original twenty five competencies.
(d) While formerly five domains of El were listed
with twenty five competencies, the new model
has also five domains, but with eighteen
competencies.
2. The following are domains of Emotional Intelligence
according to the new research.
(a) Self awareness, Self control, Social awareness
and Relationship management
(b) Relationship management, Self management,
Self control and Self awareness
(c) Self management, Social awareness, Social
control and Relationship management
(d) Relationship management, Self management,
Social awareness and Self awareness
3. Which inference can be made regarding the
relationship between leadership and emotional
intelligence from the passage ?
(a) Successful leaders have their own style of
leadership; along with high emotional
intelligence.
(b) There is no clear relationship between
successful leadership and emotional
intelligence.

(c) All successful leaders possess least one
competency in each domain of emotional
intelligence.
(d) None of the above is true.
4. The passage talks about the relationship between
leadership, emotional intelligence and neurology.
Which of the following statements represents a valid
relationship between the three ?
(a) Because emotional intelligence has a neural
base, the skills to be successful leaders cannot
be learned.
(b) The linkage between emotional intelligence
and neurology indicates that leadership skills
are not entirely innate and can be learned
(c) Both (a) and (b) are correct.
(d) Both (a) and (b) are incorrect.
5. 'Emotional Intelligence helps leaders to resonate with
the group '. Which of the following reflects the spirit
of the statement ?
(a) The leader and group's aspirations match with
each other.
(b) There is no dissonance among group members.
(c) Group members follow the leader.
(d) All of above

PASSAGE TWO
There is now a need for major rethinking at social,
economic, environmental and cultural level so as to
translate sustainable development into reality.
Transformation of individuals is very necessary as Gandhi
had envisaged, which means ushering in a well meaning
program of environmental education with regard to long
term ecological security. Natural eco- systems, agro
-ecosystems, and industrial economic systems have to be
both conserved and used in a sustainable manner. In other
words, there has to be a healthy blend of environmental,
social, developmental and economic imperatives. A
sustainable society has faith in science and technology, as
an instrument of environmental friendly social and
economic change that ensures that economic growth is not
at the cost of ecological assets. The sustainable society has
2
Jet 2013
to work in partnership with nature and conserve non
renewable resources and energy, reduce waste, and avoid
degradation of renewable resources. It must produce
goods that are easy to recycle, reuse and repair after use
leading to minimal discarded matter. The sustainable
society aims at maintenance, at a constant and sustainable
level, of both number of people and livestock, and quantity
of goods. These should be within the carrying capacity of
concerned systems- natural eco-systems, agro systems or
industrial economic systems. The methods of growing food
and raising livestock should be based on soil and water
conservation, bio-fertilisers, biological pest control, and
minimal use of non renewable resources. There has to be
extensive use of biotechnology in a sustainable society. The
basic needs are to be met without any serious detriment to
the environment. Under this path, the earth's resources
have to be protected and sustained not only for human
kind but other species; and not only for this generation but
also future generations. To manage and sustain the earth's
resources, the approach cannot be centered around one
species like the human being, but should encompass the
entire life support system. Sustainable economy is based on
the firm belief that earth is finite area; both for the purpose
of colonization of species and utilisation of resources, and
by increasing population, production and consumption,
natural processes are under stress. Human beings in a
sustainable society work with nature and aim at not
wasting resources nor interfering with other species.
(Adapted from Mahatma Gandhi and the Environment by T. N.
Khoshoo & J. S. Moolakkattu. TERI. p- 65)

52. (c) let the Original number be 10x + y ∴ 34 + 13 = 47
Now, after interchanging the digits the no. is 59. (b) To solve this question, you need to look at the
10y + x answer choices. For any of the answer choices to

From (i) & (ii) Now 1 is contained in 4 km 3 times.

a + 1 = -3 Hence A passes B three times.
⟹ a = -4 61. (b) Since the mod value can never be negative
54. (d) ∴ Option (b) is the correct answer.
62. (a) For trivial solution x = y = z = 0

Selling Price = 120
(2)2x+3 = (2)3x+8
Now, the bankrupt man only give Rs. 96

56. (a) f(x) = ln(2 – x) + ln(3 – x) Now loss = 100 – 96 = 4
For domain (2 – x) >0 and (3 – x) >0 Loss % =
