Directions(27-31): Two rows are given
below and to find out the resultant of
a particular row we need to follow the
following steps:
Step 1: If an odd (prime) number is followed
by an even (but not a perfect square)
number then the resultant will be the
difference of both the numbers.
Step 2: If an odd (non-prime) number is
followed by an even number (but not
multiple of 4) then the resultant will be the
addition of an even number and an odd
number.
Step 3: If an even number is followed by a
number which is multiple of 3 then the
resultant will be the multiplication of both
the numbers.
Step 4: If a prime number is followed by a
perfect square number then the resultant
will be the difference of both the numbers.
Step 5: If an even number is followed by
another even number (but not multiple of 4)
then the resultant comes by addition of both
the numbers.

The data breach at 19 Indian banks that has
led to more than 32 lakh debit cards being
blocked or recalled is a wake-up call for the
banking industry. While the actual number
of complaints received so far, 641, and the
sum of money that appears to have been
fraudulently withdrawn, Rs.1.3 crore, are
both small relative to the scale of the
potential data theft, it is disconcerting that it
has taken almost six months for the system
to officially acknowledge the incidents and
initiate steps to address them. A private
bank appears to have been a point of entry
for the data criminals who, according to
reports, may have infiltrated using malware
at ATMs operated by a third-party payment
services vendor. The National Payments
Corporation of India has been coordinating
investigations into the incident, and a
forensic audit is expected to reveal
preliminary findings soon.

Direction(101-105):Read the following
passage carefully and answer the
questions given below. Certain words
are given in bold to help you locate
them while answering some of the
questions.
The Canadian media scholar, Herbert
Marshall McLuhan, observed: “We look at
the present through a rear-view mirror. We
march backwards into the future.” His 1964
book, Understanding Media, was written
with a perspective that human beings are
“shuffling toward the twenty-first century in
the shackles of nineteenth century
perceptions.” At some level, past was
presented both as a burden and Utopia in
McLuhan’s analysis. But writer Toni
Morrison looked at the rear-view mirror
from a different point of view. Her fulcrum
was firmly rooted in an egalitarian future a
destination towards which we drive with
nearly 25% focus on the rear-view mirror (or
the past) and 75% focus on the road called
the present.
In her brilliant six-part ‘The Charles Eliot
Norton Lectures’ at Harvard University,
Morrison demonstrated how to be aware of
the harshness of the past and the present
and work out a way forward. She said: “But
for humans as an advanced species, our
tendency to separate and judge those not in
of our clan as the enemy, as the vulnerable and
the deficient needing control, has a long
history not limited to the animal world or
prehistoric man. Race has been a constant
arbiter of difference, as have wealth, class,
and gender — each of which is about power
and the necessity of control.” Her writings
and approach give us not only tools to
understand the world but also immense
hope despite the reality of a very grim past
and present.
I firmly locate good and responsible
journalism within her idea of hope where
past excesses are not romanticised. The pain
and poignancy of struggle never become
roadblocks in our march forward; they tend
to become guiding markers instead. In this
model, the agency is clearly with the citizens
and it never gets transferred to strongmen
leaders.
Some critics of journalism have asked me
over the last few years what the benefits are
of the two tracks of journalism: bearing
witness and making sense. They argue that
journalism focuses on a narrative of gloom
that forces many people to avoid news
altogether. However, for many, these two
tracks contribute to strengthening the
agency of citizens as they help them retain
their curiosity to know about the
happenings around them and cultivate a will
for change. Silicon Valley is celebrating
ideas like a custom-built news feed,
personalisation, and machine learning. Its
focus is more on capsuling news and
analysis, which are propelled by metrics and
analytics. The ideas of ‘echo chambers’ and
‘information silos’ are natural corollaries of
this model. At a deeper level, the metrics-
driven model looks at the present through a
rear-view mirror. It successfully eschews the
plurality of views as it focuses excessively on
catering to the exclusive needs of an
individual or an interest group.
It is my earnest view that journalism
functions as a conscious breaker of silos. It
has an inclusive approach where the focus
remains on the idea of a public good.
Despite the sway of WhatsApp, which has
become the fountain head of disinformation,
citizens turned to journalism when it
mattered most. A survey by YouGov under
its Covid-19 Consumer Monitor programme
validated my theory that the ‘public good’
element in journalism will protect the sector
from the vagaries of the market. The
numbers for India are really encouraging.
The important find of the survey was that
76% of the respondents in India said they
had watched or read more news lately than
they did earlier. This was the highest,
followed by Japan, with 61%. The survey,
contrary to popular belief, found that even
those who are worried about the future opt
to consume more news rather than avoid it.
Journalism creates a better-informed
citizenry, which in turn creates a better
collective future.

Directions(107-111): Read the
following passage carefully and
answer the questions given below.
Certain words are given in bold to
help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
Till recently, any mention of a two-front war
evoked two contrasting opinions. India’s
military was firmly of the view that
a collusive China-Pakistan military threat
was a real possibility, and we must develop
capabilities to counter this challenge. On the
other hand, the political class in general and
the mainstay of the country’s strategic
community felt that a two-front threat was
being over-hyped by the military to press for
additional resources and funds. They argued
that historically, China has never intervened
militarily in any India-Pakistan conflict and
that the economic, diplomatic, and political
ties between India and China rule out any
armed conflict between the two countries.
As a result, Indian strategic thinking was
overwhelmingly focused on Pakistan and the
security considerations emanating from
there. In the Indian military’s thinking,
while China was the more powerful — and
therefore strategic — foe, the chance of a
conventional conflict breaking out was low.
The reverse was true of Pakistan, with a
greater likelihood of conflict along the
western border possibly triggered by a
major terror attack emanating from
Pakistan. The Chinese intrusions in Ladakh
in May this year, the violence that resulted
from clashes between the Indian Army and
the People’s Liberation Army, and the
deadlock in negotiations have now made the
Chinese military threat more apparent and
real. The direct result of this, then, is the
arrival of a worrisome two-front situation
for New Delhi.
Even if the current India-China crisis on the
border is resolved peacefully, China’s
military challenge will occupy greater
attention of Indian military planners in the
months and years to come. This comes at a
time when the situation along the Line of
Control (LoC) with Pakistan has been
steadily deteriorating. Between 2017 and
2019, there has been a four-fold increase in
ceasefire violations. Some media reports
had indicated that Pakistan had moved
20,000 troops into Gilgit-Baltistan,
matching the Chinese deployments in
Eastern Ladakh.
For sure, the Sino-Pakistan relationship is
nothing new, but it has far serious
implications today than perhaps ever before.
China has always looked at Pakistan as a
counter to India’s influence in South Asia.
Over the years, the ties between the two
countries have strengthened and there is a
great deal of alignment in their strategic
thinking. Military cooperation is growing,
with China accounting for 73% of the total
arms imports of Pakistan between 2015-
2019. In his remarks on the (recently
concluded) Shaheen IX Pakistan-China joint
exercise between the Pakistan Air Force and
People’s Liberation Army Air Force, the
Pakistan Chief of Army Staff said, “The joint
exercise will improve combat capacity of
both air forces substantially and also
enhance interoperability between them with
greater strength and harmony.”
It would, therefore, be prudent for India to
be ready for a two-front threat. In preparing
for this, the Indian military needs to
realistically analyse how this threat could
manifest itself and the type of capabilities
that should be built up to counter it.
In a two-front scenario, the larger challenge
for India’s military would come if the
hostilities break out along the northern
border with China. In such a contingency,
there is a likelihood that Pakistan would
attempt to take advantage of India’s military
preoccupation by limited military actions in
Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), and attempt to
raise the level of militancy in Kashmir.
It is unlikely that Pakistan would initiate a
large-scale conflict to
capture significant chunks of territory as
that would lead to a full-blown war between
three nuclear armed states. In such a
contingency, the damage to Pakistan’s
economy and military far outweighs the
advantages of capturing some pieces of
ground. Pakistan would prefer the low-risk
option of pursuing a hybrid conflict that
remains below the threshold of war.
