True, the expansion of renewable energy capacity in India is a step in the right direction. There are
benefits not only from an environmental (A) but also in terms of generating more employment
opportunities. However, the question is whether the government has put forth enough efforts to take
advantage of the extremely favourable cost conditions on renewable energy, (B) solar photovoltaics and
onshore winds. The costs of electricity generation from these sources have declined at a rapid pace over
the years and generating power from these renewables now costs more or less the same as fossil fuels.
Taking (C) of these lower costs, other developing economies like China and Brazil have performed much
better than India in renewable energy generation. According to the International Renewable Energy
Agency, these countries currently rank the first and third respectively in terms of production of renewable
energy. Despite the reduction in costs due to global technological advancement in the field of renewable
energy, India has been unable to (D) these benefits to their full extent. Further, the recent (E) of
safeguard duty on imported solar photovoltaic cells, and the ongoing depreciation of the Indian rupee vis-
à-vis the U.S. dollar, have only lessened some of these cost advantages. If the government is concerned
enough about the deteriorating environment, there is an immediate need to spend more on the research
and development of these renewable energy sources.

Passage (Q.21-Q.25): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.
I have just returned from a visit to my landlord the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with. This is
certainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so
completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect misanthropist’s heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I
are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow! He little imagined how my
heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as I
rode up, and when his fingers sheltered themselves, with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat,
as I announced my name.
‘Mr. Heathcliff?’ I said.
A nod was the answer.

‘Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant, sir. I do myself the honour of calling as soon as possible after my arrival,
to express the hope that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting the occupation
of Thrushcross Grange: I heard yesterday you had had some thoughts ‘
‘Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir,’ he interrupted, wincing. ‘I should not allow anyone to inconvenience
me, if I could hinder it walk in!’
The ‘walk in’ was uttered with closed teeth, and expressed the sentiment, ‘Go to the Deuce:’ even the
gate over which he leant manifested no sympathizing movement to the words; and I think that
circumstance determined me to accept the invitation: I felt interested in a man who seemed more
exaggeratedly reserved than myself.
When he saw my horse’s breast fairly pushing the barrier, he did put out his hand to unchain it, and then
sullenly preceded me up the causeway, calling, as we entered the court, ‘Joseph, take Mr. Lockwood’s
horse; and bring up some wine.’
‘Here we have the whole establishment of domestics, I suppose,’ was the reflection suggested by this
compound order. ‘No wonder the grass grows up between the flags, and cattle are the only hedge
cutters.’
Joseph was an elderly, nay, an old man: very old, perhaps, though hale and sinewy. ‘The Lord help us!’
he soliloquized in an undertone of peevish displeasure, while relieving me of my horse: looking,
meantime, in my face so sourly that I charitably conjectured he must have need of divine aid to digest his
dinner, and his pious ejaculation had no reference to my unexpected advent.

(a) Go to heaven (b) Go to hell

(b) A person who dislikes, despises or is strongly prejudiced against men.
(c) A person who is strongly prejudiced against women.
(d) A person who hates marriage.
23. This passage demonstrates which of the following narrative techniques?
(a) Irony (b) Pathos (c) Foreshadowing (d) Characterization

24. In the primary mode of composition of this passage, the narrator’s tone is mainly:
(a) Romantic (b) Narrative (c) Apologetic (d) Definitive

SECTION – C: LEGAL REASONING

71. Legal Principles:


1. Taking away a movable property dishonestly with the intent to dispossess a person of such object
without his consent amounts to theft.
2. Dispossession is said to occur if a person is denied of enjoying the benefit of an object without his
consent.
3. Consent means and includes any express or implied permission granted to a person for the specified
usage.
4. Implied permission is said to be granted if a person by actions or utterances conveys his acceptance
of usage by the other person.

Factual Situation: John decided to develop a very high efficiency vehicle engine with double fuel
efficiency than the market standards. Divya promised to financially aid John. John completed his
research after three years and discovered a new engine named 'nuv’ engine with almost double the fuel
efficiency However, it failed to deliver similar results after reaching engine temperature of 150°
Centigrade and above. Many car manufacturers rejected the model on this ground alone. John grew
adamant and decided not to make any further change in the engine. Divya was keen to take the
technology to other experts and scientists to improve the same. One day Divya took the engine model
without permission of John and gave it to a scientific research forum for the limited purpose of
improvement. Divya's effort paid off and the scientist plugged the gap in the technology and the engine
started to give double fuel efficiency under all type temperatures and conditions. Divya broke this news to
John and gave him the suggestions to be carried in the model. John was so upset that he filed a
complaint against Divya alleging theft.

On the basis of the given Principles and Facts decide:


Whether Divya can be held guilty for theft in the instant case?
(a) Yes, as Divya dispossessed John of his engine model without his consent.
(b) No, as Divya being the part owner of the engine model cannot be held guilty of theft of his own engine
model.
(c) No, as the element of dishonesty was absent in the present case. The engine was taken to the
scientific research firm only for the purpose of making necessary changes in the model.
(d) Yes, as John was categorically against making any further change in the engine model.

72. Legal Principles:


1. Libel is an actionable tort punishable with an imprisonment of seven years. Three necessary
conditions must be established to sustain an action for libel.
2. The first condition to be satisfied for holding someone liable for libel is that there must be false
statement on part of the person committing libel. False statement has to be based on events not
known to anyone but the person who is accused of making libelous statement.
3. The second condition to be satisfied for holding someone liable for libel is that there must be
publication of false statement. Publication is said to occur if a statement is made in a permanent form
such as effigy, painting, writing, printing etc.
4. The third condition to be satisfied for holding someone liable for libel is that such statement should be
defamatory. A statement is said to be defamatory if it lowers the plaintiff in the estimation of right-
thinking members of the society generally

severe body ache since last two weeks therefore, he approached a famous physician in the town. The
famous Physician “X” referred Riyo for taking few tests. Rony, in charge of the diagnostic centre, told

SECTION - D: LOGICAL REASONING

106. When the division of labour has been once thoroughly established, it is but a very small part of the man’s
wants which the produce of his own labour can supply. He supplies the far greater part of them by
exchanging that surplus part of the produce of his own labour, which is over and above his own
consumption, for such parts of the produce of other mens labour as he has occasion for.

perpetual crises or the deficiencies of human nature overlooks a self-fulfilling danger. Such predictions
can promote the very conditions so deplored. This defeatist stance also evades the basic fact that people
learn and adapt. Radicals may deliver witty, cynical, despairing commentary, but in so doing they reveal
how far they have reconciled themselves to their marginality in influencing the course of events. Equally
trapped, however, are the perpetual optimists who naively claim linear progress by ignoring its obstacles,
who, substitute mere exhortation for sober evaluation?

(b) Perpetual optimists ignore the things that stymie growth and progress.
