Nos. 1 to 10): Read the following two passages and answer the ‘questions that follow each passage. Your ‘answer fo these questions should be based on the passages only. Passage ~1 Erosion in Nature is @ beneficent process without which the world would have died long ago. The same process, ‘accelerated by human mismanagement, has become one of the most vicious and destructive forces that has ever been released by man, What is usually known, 1s ‘geological erosion’ or ‘denudation’ is € universal phenomenon which through thousands of years has carved the earth into its present shape. Denudation is an early and important process in soil formation, whereby the original rock ‘material's continuously broken down and, sorted out by wind and water until it becomes suitable for colonization by plants, Plants, by the binding effects oftheir roots, by the protection they afford against rain and wind and bythe fertility they impart to the sol, bring denudation almost to. standstil, Everybody must have compared the rugged and iegular shape of bare ‘mountain peaks where denudation is stil RZ—28/27 (2) ‘active with the smooth and harmonious curves of slopes that have long been protected by a mantie of vegetation.

In this way an equilbrium is reached between denudation and soil formation so that, Unless the equilibrium is disturbed, a mature soil preserves a more or less ‘constant depth and character indefinitely, ‘The depth is sometimes only few inches, ‘occasionally several feet, but within itlios the whole capacity ofthe earth to produce Iie.

But people were taught litle about leadership. To some degree, management ‘asthe mainte onthe wenteth century agenda because thatis what was needed ‘ho was aleader weneeded hundreds of managers to run their ever growing enterprises. Unfortunately for us today, this emphasis on management has often been insttusonalzedin coporate cultures that discourage employees rom fearing how toad. roncaly, past success is usually the key ingredient in producing this outcome, The syndrome, as | have ‘observed ton many occasions, goes tke this : success creates some degree of marked dominance, which keeping in turn produces much growth. After @ while Keeping the ever larger organization under control becomes the primary challenges. Soattenon uns inward, and managerial competencies are nurtured. With astong RZ-2427 (5) emphasis on management but not leadership, bureaucracy and an inward focus take over. But with continued success, the result mostly of market dominance, the problem often goes unaddressed and an unteathy arrogance begins toevolve Alofthese characterises, then make any transformation effort much more dificult. ‘Arogant managers can over evaluate their ‘current performances and competitive position, listen pooty, and lean slowly those who want to respond to shitting conditions. And the lack of leadership leaves no force insie these organizations to break out ofthe morass. 6. _Tomaintopic ofthe passages (A) Importance of management ‘schools inthe present context (8) Good managers (©) Importance offeadership in an coxganisation (©) Management and success of an organisation (Tum over)7.

Nos. 11 to 18) : Read the folowing two passages and answer the ‘questions that follow each passage, Your answer fo these questions should be ‘based on the paséages only, Passage~1 In Indian philosophical tradition, questioning is regarded as method of philosophical enquiy. In the Chandogya Upanishad, there is a questioning that ilustrates this direct search for retum to rut Uddalaka : Shvetaketu, fled as you are, ‘ngreat regard for what you have learned. Did you ask forthat teaching by which the Lunheard gets to be heard, the unknown gets tobe known?Shvetaketu : Sir, how indeed is that teaching ? ‘Stvetaketu as been rained inthe names, forms and qualities of conventional learning. But now he is being asked how he can gotto know whathe has not already learned. How can he find out things for himset, beyond the mere conventions that hhehas leamed.sofar ?Andhereheis ata Joss. He has not learned to question things directly, beyond his acquired learning. For he has never asked about knowledge itself, beneath the trappings ofleaming that he has so proudly acquired. He realizes that something is missing, and asks his father to teach him. As the story goes on, ‘Shvetaketu ie taught through a number of iMustrations. For one ofthese, he is taken toalarge tree, whose fruits have fallen on the ground, He is asked to pick up a fruit ‘and break itopen. Ithas tiny seed init, He 's asked to breaka seed and say whathe finds here. He hasto reply: Nothing Sir the seeds arefartoo small, ‘Sonowhis father says: And yet, within ‘each tiny seed, theres a subs something ‘which your eyes do not see, something Lnseen from which this spreading tree has ‘grown and now stands manifested here. This sublle something Is that thistselt ness, which this entire world. Thats the truth. Thatis yoursel,Thatis what you realy RZ-2427 ” Inthis itustration, the ree symbotcally represents the entire universe, Tobe more accurate, itrepresents the big picture that we have ofthe whole universe, with alts vvast size and mind-boggling complexity. ‘Compared with this huge picture, ouritle personalities are very small and insigniticat, lic tny litle seeds. But there are some huge trees which grow from the unseen essence of life within atiny seed, So also, our big pictures of the world all tie fom knowledge. This knowledge i the Unseen essence ofourlves, in each ofour litle personalities. We cannot see it with ‘out outward-ooking eyes; butitis always present here, within each person's body ‘and mind, When knowledge is seen lke this, as our inner essence, its called — consciousness.
