It is to progress in the human sciences that we must look to undo the evils which
have resulted from the knowledge of physical world hastily and superficially
acquired by population unconscious of the changes in themselves that the new
knowledge has imperative. The road to a happier world than any known in the
past lies open before us if atavistic destructive passions can be kept in leash while
the necessary adaptations are made.

bear good fruit. We must learn to think rather less of dangers to be avoided than
of the good that will lie within our grasp if we can believe in it and let it dominate
our thoughts. Science, whatever consequences it may have by the way, in its very
nature a liberator, a liberator of bondage to physical nature and in time to come, a
liberator from the weight of destructive passions. We are on the threshold of utter

Logical Reasoning
Direction: read the following passage carefully and select the right answer
Journalist: To reconcile the need for profits sufficient to support new drug
research with the moral imperative to provide medicines to those who most need
them but cannot afford them, some pharmaceutical companies feel justified in
selling a drug in rich nations at one price and in poor nations at a much lower
price. But this practice is unjustified. A nation with a low average income may
still have a substantial middle class better able to pay for new drugs than are
many of the poorer citizens of an overall wealthier nation.
51. Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the
journalist’s reasoning?
a. People who are ill deserve more consideration than do healthy people,
regardless of their relative socioeconomic positions.
b. Wealthy institutions have an obligation to expend at least some of their
resources to assist those incapable of assisting themselves.
c. Whether one deserves special consideration depends on one’s needs rather
than on characteristics of society to which one belongs.
d. The people in wealthy nations should not have better access to health care
than do people in poorer nations.
e. Unequal access to health care is more unfair than an unequal distribution of
wealth.
52. Several critics have claimed that any contemporary poet who writes formal
poetry–poetry that is rhymed and metered–is performing a politically

56CMAT Preparation Book, SDC BBA


conservative act. This is plainly false. Consider Molly Peacock and Marilyn
Hacker, two contemporary poets whose poetry is almost exclusively formal and
yet who are themselves politically progressive feminists.The conclusion drawn
above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
a. No one who is a feminist is also politically conservative.
b. No poet who writes unrhymed or unmetered poetry is politically
conservative.
c. Anyone who sometimes writes poetry that is not politically conservative
never writes poetry that is politically conservative.
d. No one who is politically progressive is capable of performing a politically
conservative act.
e. The content of a pet’s work, not the work’s form, is the most decisive factor
in determining what political consequences, if any, the work will have
53. Situation: In the island nation of Bezun, the government taxes gasoline
heavily in order to induce people not to drive. It uses the revenue from the
gasoline tax to subsidize electricity in order to reduce prices charged for
electricity.
Analysis: The greater the success achieved in meeting the first of these
objectives, the less will be the success achieved in meeting the second. The
analysis provided for the situation above would be most appropriate in which of
the following situations?
a. A library charges a late fee in order to induce borrowers to return books
promptly. The library uses revenue from the late fee to send
reminders to tardy borrowers in order to reduce the incidence of overdue
books.
b. A mail order store imposes a stiff surcharge for overnight delivery in order
to limit use of this option. The store uses revenue from the surcharge to pay
the extra expenses it incurs for providing the overnight delivery service.
c. The park management charges an admission fee so that a park’s users will
contribute to the park’s upkeep. In order to keep admission fees low, the
management does not finance any new projects from them.
d. A restaurant adds a service charge in order to spare customers the trouble of
individual tips. The service charge is then shared among the restaurant’s
workers in order to augment their low hourly wages.
e. The highway administration charges a toll for crossing a bridge in order to
get motorists to use other routes. It uses the revenue from that toll to
generate a reserve fund in order to be able one day to build a new bridge.
54. The ancient Romans understood the principles of water power are very
well, and in some outlying parts of their empire they made extensive and
excellent use of water as an energy source. This makes it all the more
striking that the Romans made do without water power in regions dominated by
large cities.
Which one of the following, if true, contributes most to an explanation
of the difference described above in the Roman’s use of water power?

CMAT Preparation Book, SDC BBA 57


a. In heavily polluted areas the introduction of water power would have been
certain to cause social unrest by depriving large numbers of people of their
livelihood.
b. In the areas in which water power was not used, water flow in rivers and
streams was substantial throughout the year but nevertheless exhibited some
seasonal variation.
c. Water power was relatively vulnerable to sabotage, but any damage could be
quickly and inexpensively repaired.
d. In most areas to which the use of water power was not extended, other, more
traditional sources of energy continued to be used.
e. The ancient Romans were adept at constructing and maintaining aqueducts
that could carry quantities of water sufficient to supply large cities over
considerable distances.
55. Karuna: As we both know, the population of this country is aging.
Elderly people generally prefer not to live in harsh climates characterized by
extreme temperatures. Accordingly, in this country’s coastal regions, where
the climate is generally most temperate, the population is likely to grow, while
other regions are likely to suffer population declines.
Mira: I disagree. With few exceptions, region where the climate is harsh
are characterized by comparatively low living costs, a compelling factor for
retired people with little savings and on fixed incomes.
Which of the following is the most likely point of disagreement between
Karuna and Mira?
a. The reason for the population shift toward coastal areas
and away from other regions.
b. Whether the country’s current decline in overall
population will continue into the foreseeable future.
c. Why older people find certain regions where the climate
is harsh attractive places to live.
d. Whether regions characterized by harsh climates are
likely to experience population decline in the foreseeable future.
e. The extent to which coastal regions are affordable places
to live for retired people.
56. An avid television viewer is statistically more likely to take sleeping
pills at bed time than a person who enjoys listening to classical music but does
not watch television as a habit. Clearly, listening to classical music just before
bedtime contributes to a more restful night’s sleep, whereas watching television
before bedtime has the opposite effect.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the above
argument?
a. Reading a book before bedtime contributes to restful
sleep more than listening to music does.
b. People who enjoy classical music typically like to read
just before bedtime.
c. Sleeplessness is more common among people who watch
late night television than among people who do not.
d. Engaging in a bedtime activity that is mentally
stimulating often interferes with a person’s ability to fall asleep.

58CMAT Preparation Book, SDC BBA


e. A silent environment is less conducive to restful sleep
than an environment with calming ambient sounds.
57. Everyone who is compassionate is kind, and someone who has
experienced life’s challenges is invariably compassionate. Jeremy is kind, so he
has experienced life’s challenges.
Which one of the following exhibits a pattern of flawed reasoning most
similar to that exhibited above?
a. Roberta is a highly productive person. Every person who
is motivated is highly productive, and every person who is organized is
motivated. Therefore, Roberta is very organized.
b. Nice people are always sympathetic people, and those
who have experienced hardships always end up being nice, Betsy is not a
sympathetic person, so Betsy has not experienced hardships.
c. Almost everyone who loves black and white films is a
movie buff, and all movie buffs enjoy popcorn. Sasha does not love black and
white films, so Sasha probably does not enjoy popcorn.
d. Patience requires an even temperament, and being a good
parent certainly requires patience. James has no patience, so James is not a
good parent.
e. Successful entrepreneurs are either confident or
experienced. Yoshi is a successful entrepreneur, and he is not experienced.
Therefore,Yoshi is confident.

question.
What it means to “explain” something in science often comes down to the
application of mathematics. Some thinkers hold that mathematics is a kind of
language - a systematic contrivance of signs, the criteria for the authority of
which are internal coherence, elegance, and depth. The application of such a
highly artificial system to the physical world, they claim, results in the
creation of a kind of statement about the world. Accordingly, what matters in
the sciences is finding a mathematical concept that attempts, as other
language does, to accurately describe the functioning of some aspects of the
world. At the center of the issue of scientific knowledge can thus be found
questions about the relationship between language and what it refers to. A
discussion about the role played by language in the pursuit of knowledge has
been going on among linguistics for several decades. The debate centers on
whether language corresponds in some essential way to objects and
behaviors, making knowledge a solid and reliable commodity; or, on the
other hand, whether the relationship between language and things is purely a
matter of agreed-upon conventions, making knowledge tenuous, relative and
inexact.

As advertisers become more and more expert at their work, they appeal to all the
human emotions in the effort to increase sales-greed, jealously, love of a bargain,
fear of the disapproval of the other people, fear of ill health, the desire to catch a
husband, the desire to show off, and many others. But more and more customers
are also becoming suspicious of and resistant to high-powered advertisements.
This is producing in highly sophisticated countries, a deliberately modest, self
deprecating type of advertisement that is intended to disarm the suspicious of
sophisticates by giving an impression of absolute sincerity, or even deliberate
understatement. Soon we may have the strange spectacle of advertisers vying
with each other, with Eastern courtesy, to belittle the merits of their own

Not all those who know something about offering goods to customers or even
about selling can become real salesmen. You cannot become real salesman unless
you have real strength, the strength to face people who do not want to face
salesman, the strength to face and master the demands of a strenuous profession,
the strength to find and face their own short-comings and correct them. Too many
people never realize these facts. Selling is a profession that cannot be learned in
the flick of an eyelid. Being tired of some other job does not make a man into a
salesman; neither does the vague hope of making money in a hurry.
Selling demands professional knowledge just as any other profession does. It is
no job for people who just want to pick up easy money. The selling career is an
exciting career but it is hard and exacting too. The salesman’s personality is
under a pressure that most people cannot take. He must feel at ease, cordial and
friendly in the presence of people who have little or no wish to see or to listen to
him. In the face of their hesitation he has to make them aware of needs which
they did not realize and on which they quite likely do not want to spend money.
21. Selling is a profession
a. that can be learned in a business college.
b. that depends solely on your ability to see things.
c. that is tough, challenging and demands great strength.
d. None of the above
22. Selling is not a profession
a. for people who have no training at a business college.
b. for those who cannot learn things at a flick of an eyelid.
c. for those who are tired of their job and want to make a
fast buck.
d. for those who are not destined to be salesman.
23. Selling is an exciting career but it also
a. is full of uncertainty
b. offers avenues for making easy money
c. is quite risky.
d. is exacting and demanding.
24. A salesman should be confident, friendly and cordial.
a. even under grave provocation.
b. for these are the essential qualities of this profession.
c. to those who treat him as an unwelcome intruder.
d. None of the above.

Directions: The following passage is followed by questions based on its
contents. After reading the passage, choose the best answers to each
question.
It is no easy life that lies before a scientific investigator. He has to steel his
body, and nerves, to the utmost. There is to be for him no life of ease. It is to
be one of the unending struggle. Even after all this, there is no assurance
whatever of success to reward him for his ceaseless toil. He has to cast his
life as an offering, regarding gain or loss, success or failure, as one. This will
perhaps be better realized when I recount the history of the conquest of the
air. I had the unusual opportunity of coming in close contact with the work of
a man to whom this great achievement is ultimately due. Many lives had
previously been sacrificed in various ineffective attempts before the
investigation of the supporting power of moving surfaces was scientifically
taken up by Langley in America. After many years of patient
experimentation, new data were obtained, which were contrary to all
previously accepted theories of aerodynamics. Great interest was aroused and
the American nation keenly watched for the occasion when a large machine
was to make its flight before the public. In this public demonstration a small
screw was left loose by the carelessness of a workman with the result that the
machine, instead of rising, was precipitated into the river. A chorus of
derision arose which was magnified by the Press, and Langley died of a
broken heart. This has often been the fate of great inventors and discoverers.
But the lure that draws heroic souls is not the success which can easily be
achieved, but defeat and tribulation in the pursuit of the unattainable.
16. Langley’s experiment failed due to
a. faulty design
b. carelessness of Langley
c. carelessness of a workman in fitting a scerw
d. unattainable pursuit
17. What is meant by the phrase ‘to steel his body’.
a. to be fair looking.
b. capable of deceiving others
c. capable of sustaining stress and strain
d. to become thin and lean
18. Langley worked in the field of
a. thermodynamics b. aerostatics
c. hydrostatics d. aerodynamics
19. ‘Derision’ implies
a. ridicule b. praise
c. publicity d. public honour

20. Langley’s design was based on


a. hypothesis b. law of aerodynamics
c. experimental data d. imaginary ideas

Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given at
the end by picking out the most suitable response to each question.
Philosophy means and includes five field of study: logic, ethics, politics and
metaphysics. Logic is the study of ideal method in thought and research:
observation, introspection, deduction and induction, hypothesis and
experiment, analysis and synthesis- such are the forms of human activity
which logic tries to understand and guide; it is the dull study for most of us,
and yet the great event in the history of thoughts are the improvements men
have made in their methods of thinking and research. Aesthetics is the study
of ideal form, or beauty; it is a philosophy of art. Ethics is the study of ideal
conduct, “the highest knowledge”, said Socrates, is the knowledge of good
and evil, the knowledge of the wisdom of life politics is the study of the ideal
social organization. It is not, as one might suppose, the art and science of
capturing and keeping office. Democracy, socialism, anarchism, feminism,
aristocracy-these are the dramatis personae of political philosophy. And,
lastly, metaphysics is the study of the “ultimate reality” of all things, of the
real and final nature of matter, of mind, and the interrelation of “mind and
matter” in the process of perception and knowledge.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions that
follow, based on the options to each question.
The great, adventure of the electric train over the steam train, I think, is that
it does not smell. When you’re in a train drawn by a steam locomotive, you
always have the unpleasant odor of burning coal around you. If you open the
window to look out at the view and to get some fresh air, you are covered
with little bit of coal-ash, which gets into your hair and eyes and soon forces
you to shut the window again and withdraw into the impure atmosphere of
your compartment. In a tunnel, your misery reaches a peak, for there
the smokes is forced into a long tunnel, smells grows worse and worse, while
your eyes smart and the electronic light in the carriage grows slim, hidden
behind the wreathing smoke. With an electric locomotive, on the other hand,

Verbal Ability
Directions: Questions are based on the following paragraph. Please read
the paragraph carefully and answer the following questions.
Behavior of man does not come out of vacuum. Behavior is the outcome of
the operation of internal and external factors at a given time. For instance, a
man in a work situation works to get his bread and goes on strike if he feels
deprived of it. Thus man’s behavior is not meaningless. It is purpose-
oriented and goal directed. Their persistence in activity and the tendency to
complete an interrupted task are some of the marks of the goal directed
behavior. For instance, in work organizations a diligent worker
would like to finish the work assigned to him. He would not rest till he
completes it. This goal directed behavior is elaborated by saying ‘the
behavior is motivated’. Motives are fundamentally of two types, innate

Internet Slang
Slang is often taken from social media as a sign of social awareness and shared
knowledge of popular culture. This particular branch of slang has become more
prevalent since the early 2000s as a result of the rise in popularity of social
networking services, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This has created
new vocabularies associated with each new social media venue, such as the use of the
term “friending” on Facebook, which is a "verbification" of “friend” used to describe
the process of adding a new person to one's list of friends on the website. This term is
much older than Facebook, but has only recently entered the popular lexicon.  Unlike
most slang, social media slang is often not spoken aloud in conversation, but rather
written, though it is still not viewed as acceptable in a formal setting. Usually, slangs
are considered taboo and squalor of language. Other examples of the slang found in
social media include a general trend toward shortened words or acronyms. These are
especially associated with services such as Twitter, which has a 140 character limit for
each message and therefore requires a briefer, more condensed manner of
