Question Read the passage below and choose the correct answer for the questions
from 126 to 130

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the space agency of the
Government of India headquartered in the city of Bangalore. Its vision is to
"hamess space technology for national development while pursuing space
science research and planetary exploration". Formed in 1969, ISRO
superseded the erstwhile Indian National Committee for Space Research
(INCOSPAR) established in 1962 by the efforts of independent India's first
Prime Minister. Jawaharlal Nehru, and his close aide and scientist Vikram
Sarabhai. The establishment of ISRO thus institutionalized space activities
in India. It is managed by the Department of Space, which reports to the
Prime Minister of India.

ISRO built India's first satellite, Aryabhatta, which was launched by the
 Soviet Union on 19th April, 1975. It was named after Mathematician
Aryabhatta. In 1980, Rohini became the first satellite to be placed in orbit
by an Indian-made launch vehicle. SLV-3. ISRO subsequently developed
two other rockets: the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) for launching
satellites into polar orbits and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle
(GSLV) for placing satellites into geostationary orbits. These rockets have
launched numerous communication satellites and earth observation
satellites. Satellite navigation systems like GAGAN and IRNSS have been
deployed. In January 2014, ISRO successfully used an indigenous
cryogenic engine in a GSLV- D5 launch of the GSAT-14.

ISRO sent a lunar orbiter. Chandrayaan-1, on 22nd October. 2008 and Mars
orbiter. Mars Orbiter Mission, on 5th November. 2013, which successfully
entered Mars orbit on 24th September. 2014, while making India the first
nation to succeed on its first attempt to Mars, and ISRO the fourth space
agency in the world as well as the first space agency in Asia to successfully
reach Mars orbit. On 18th June, 2016, ISRO successfully set a record with a
launch of 20 satellites in a single payload, one being a satellite from
Google. On 15th February, 2017. ISRO launched 104 satellites in a single
rocket (PSLV-C37) and created a world record. ISRO launched its heaviest
rocket, Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV-Mk III),
on 5th June, 2017 and placed a communications satellite GSAT-19 in orbit.
With this launch, ISRO became capable of launching 4 ton heavy satellites.

Question Read the following passage and answer questions 186-190:

The animal mind is like a telephone exchange, it receives stimuli from

outside through the sense organs and sends out appropriate responses
through the nerves that govern muscles, glands and other parts of the
body. the organism is constantly interacting with its surroundings
receiving messages and acting on the new state of affairs that the
messages signify.

But the human mind is not a simple transmitter like a telephone

exchange. It is more like a great projector; for instead of merely
mediating between an event in the outer world and a creature's
responsive action, it transforms or, if you will distorts the event into an
image to be looked at, retained and contemplated. For the images of
things we remember are not exact and faithful transcriptions even of
our actual sense impressions. They are made as much by what we think
a by what we see. It is a well-known fact that if you ask several people
the size of moon's disk as they look at it, their estimates will vary from
the area of dime to that of a barrel top. Like a magic lantern, the mind
projects its ideas of things on the screen of what we call "memory";
but like all projections, these ideas are transformations of actual
things. They are in fact symbols of reality, not pied of it.

Question The world's worst recorded food disaster occurred in 1943 in British-ruled
India. Known as the Bengal Famine, an estimated 4 million people died of
hunger that year in eastern India (which included today's Bangladesh)
Initially, this catastrophe was attributed to an acute shortfall in food
production in the area. However, Indian economist Amartya Sen has
established that while food shortage was a contributor to the problem, a
more potent factor was the result of hysteria related to World War II. which
made food supply a low priority for the British rulers.

When the British left India in 1947. India continued to be haunted by

memories of the Bengal Famine. It was therefore natural that food security
was one of the main items on free India's agenda. This awareness led, on
the one hand, to the Green Revolution in India and, on the other. legislative
measures to ensure that businessmen would never again be able to hoard
food for reasons of profit.

The Green Revolution spreading over the period from 1967-68 to 1977-78,
changed India's status from a food-deficient country to one of the world's
leading agricultural nations. Until 1967 the govemment begely
concentrated on expanding the faming areas. But the population was
growing at a much faster rate than food production. This called for an
immediate and drastic action to increase yield. The action came in the form
 of the Green Revolution. The term 'Green Revolution' is a general one that
is applied to successful agricultural experiments in many developing
countries.

India is one of the countries where it was most successful.

India was able to overcome its food deficiency problem in___

Question Read the following passage and answer the questions 191-195:

Paper is different from other waste produce because it comes from a

sustainable resource; trees unlike the minerals and oils used to make
plastics and metals, trees are replaceable. Paper is also biodegradable, so it
does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded.
While 45 out of every 100 tonnes of wood fibre used to make paper in
Australia comes from waste paper, the rest comes directly from virgin fibre
from forests and plantations. By the world standards this is a good
performance since the world average is 33 percent waste paper.
Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes
and at the same time, the paper industry has responded by developing new
recycling technologies that have paved the way for even great utilization of
used fibre. As at result industry's USC of recycled fibres is expected to
increase at twice the rate of virgin fibre over the coming years.
