Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage—1 over the last decade or so, labour has been departing agriculture, but is only going to construction and unregistered manufacturing which are not markedly better jobs. Services, where labour tends to be most productive, are not generating the additional jobs the country needs. India will need 24 million or so jobs over the next decade. The new sector, e-commerce, can at best close only half the jobs gap. Only those sectors that drive domestic demand such 4s health and education can comfortably fill the other half. 1, Which one of the following is best implied in the passage? (a) Strong measures need to be taken to reduce the rural to urban ‘migration of labour. (®) The working condition in construction and unregistered manufacturing needs to be improved. (o) Service sector has been reducing the problem of unemployment. (a) Increased social sector spending is imperative for large-scale job creation. HGY-D-LKUV/59A Passage—2 In India, the current focus on the right to Privacy is based on some new realities of the digital age. A right is a substantive right only if it works in all situations, and for everyone. A right to free expression for an individual about her exploitation, for instance, is ‘meaningless without actual availability of security that guarantees that private force cannot be used to thwart this right. The role of, the State, therefore, is not just to abstain from preventing rightful free expression, but also to actively ensure that private parties are not able to block it. 2. On the basis of the above passage, the following assumptions have been made : 1. State should have some institutions to ensure its. appropriate role in a digital society. 2. State should ensure that private parties do not violate the citizens right to privacy. 3. Digital economy is not compatible with the idea of not violating the citizens’ privacy.

(a) Water supply should not be free of cost $0 as to prevent its misuse or Passage—4 ‘Asset allocation is the most important investment decision we will ever make, and sadly, most of us do not give that decision the importance it deserves. We are adamant about secking predictability with our future. We tend HGY-D-LKUV/59A to think of investing in risky assets as extremely volatile and value eroding. We also dislike fluctuating returns and the loss of control of investment. We think our money is best left idle, unproductive but safe. There is no asset that is risk-free, We could lose our Jobs, our homes can lose value, our banks ‘can go bankrupt, our bonds can default, the government can collapse and companies we chose fondly may cease to exist. But we cannot live life assuming that all these extreme events ‘are waiting to happen, and all at the same time. All these extreme forms of risks we know will not manifest at the same time, 4, Which one of the following statements best implies the suggestion given by the author of the passage? (a) Distribute your wealth across different kinds of assets so that your risks would be minimized. (®) Risk-taking behaviour should be fa necessary component of your personality if you want to generate ‘wealth. (6) While making investments, find a trustworthy asset management organization which would manage your wealth for you. (@) You should know that investing your money is a risky business.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage—1 Private investment in general is volatile. Foreign private investment is more volatile because the available investment avenues are significantly greater (i.e., the entire world). Therefore, the responsibility of providing employment cannot be left to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The current FDI inflows are volatile over time and across sectors. and regions, which is a necessary consequence of their search for the highest returns. The adverse consequences are unstable employment and an accentuation of income and regional inequalities. A probable positive consequence of foreign investment is the inflow of new technology and its subsequent diffusion, However, the technology diffusion is, not at all certain because the existing state of physical and human capital in India may prove inadequate for the diffusion. 21. With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made : Relying on foreign investment in the long run is not an economically ‘sound policy. HGY-D-LKUV/594 13. 2. Policies must be undertaken to reduce volatility in foreign private investment. 3. Policies must be undertaken to strengthen domestic private investment. 4. Public investment should be given priority over private investment. 5. Substantial public investment in education and health should be undertaken. Which of the above assumptions valid?

Since these few months account for most of the rainfall and consequent freshwater availability, the need for holding rainwater in reservoirs, for eubsequently releasing it for use ‘over the year, is a necessity nobody can afford to overlook.

With reference to the above passage, which of the following could be the most rational and practical implications for India? Inter-linking of rivers should be undertaken, A network of dams and canals should be built across the country for proper distribution of water, Farmers should be provided casy loans for digging borewells, Usage of water for agriculture should be regulated by law, Distribution of river water among regions should be regulated by the Union Government, Select the correct answer using the code given below. | (a) 1 and 2 ©) 2,4 ands (6) 1,3 and 4 (@) 2,3 ands Passage—3 People will invest in education whenever they ‘are granted the economic freedom to fully enjoy | its benefits. Again, this is for the obvious reason, | that the return on education increases as the level of economic freedom rises. When people, thanks to lower tax rates, are allowed to retain ‘ost of the higher income that they gain from ‘ech incremental level of education, it makes ‘eminent sense to invest in education. On the NGY-D-LKUV/59A, 18 other hand, when the government decides to tax the higher income of educated individuals at even higher rates, it makes very little sense to invest in educating oneself further. The same incentives apply to parents who decide on ‘whether to invest in their children’s education. 23. With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made : 1. Lower tax rates in a country invariably translate into greater investments in higher education. 2. Investment in the education of children ensures their economic freedom, 3. Economic freedom has a positive impact on building up human capital Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?

What did India do during this period? Research reveals that the relative price scenario changed significantly (by more than 50%) in favour of agriculture in the wake of rising global prices. ‘This boosted private investments in agriculture by more than 50%. As a result, agri-GDP growth touched 4:1% during 2007-2012 as ‘against 24% during 2002-2007.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage—1 Spanish ships in the late 16th century first brought the potato tuber from South America to Burope whereby in the early 19th century, it had become a reliable backup to cereal crops, particularly in the cold, rain-soaked soils of lreland. The Irish were soon almost wholly dependent on the potato as their staple food. ‘And they were planting primarily one prodigious variety, the ‘Lumper’ potato, whose genetic frailty would be cruelly exposed by the fungus ‘Phytophthora infestans’. In 1845, spores of the deadly fungus began spreading across the country, destroying nearly all the Lumpers im its path. The resulting famine killed or displaced million: 41. Which one of the following statements best reflects the critical message of the passage? (a) For introducing any foreign plant into a country, the soil and climate conditions of that country should be suitable. (®) Asa staple food of a country, tuber crops like potato cannot replace cereal crops. Some of the fungal infections of plants cannot be prevented or stopped from spreading across large areas. Relying on a homogeneous food source is not desirable. @ HGY-D-LKUV/59A Paseage—2 India is at once among the fastest growing global economies and home to the largest ‘number of malnourished children in the world, ‘There are regions where malnutrition is not the exception but the norm. And across the country, malnutrition is the cause of death for roughly half the 1:3 million children who die before their fith birthday each year. Even those children who survive suffer permanently from the damage that has already been done to their bodies and minds from not getting enough of the right foods and nutrients, Around 44 million children under § are stunted. That ‘makes it harder for them to lear in school and. subsequently earn a living as adults, Their lifetime earnings potential is almost a quarter less than that of their healthy peers. 42.

The Indian Government has strongly committed to its targets of reducing emissions by 33 per cent by 2030, and towards this it has initiated a strong push towards a gas-based economy and hhas also invested heavily in renewable energy. However, business houses are wary of investing too heavily in renewable energy at a time when the technology is not yet ready. 62.
