Directions for the following 8 (eight) items:

Read the following four passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

Passage -1

The subject of democracy has become severely muddled because of the way the rhetoric surrounding it has been used in recent years. There is, increasingly, an oddly confused dichotomy between those who want to 'impose' democracy on countries in the non-Western world (in these countries' 'own interest', of course) and those who are opposed to such 'imposition' (because of the respect for the countries' 'own 1. ways'). But the entire language of 'imposition', used by both sides, is extraordinarily inappropriate since it makes the implicit assumption that democracy belongs exclusively to the West, taking it to be a quintessentially 'Western' idea which has originated and flourished only in the West.

But the thesis and the pessimism it generates about the possibility of democratic practice in the world would be extremely hard to justify. There were several experiments in local democracy in ancient India. Indeed, in understanding lhe roots of democracy in the world, we have to take an interest in the history of people participation and public reasoning in different parts of the world. We have to look beyond thinking of democracy only in terms of European and American evolution. We would fail to understand

B-BRO-M-HTB ( 2 - x )

the pervasive demands for participatory living, on which Arislotle spoke with far-reaching insight, if we take democracy to be a kind of a specialized cultural product of the West.

It cannot, of course, be doubted that the institutional structure of lhc contemporary practice of democracy is largely the product of European and American experience over the last few centuries. This is extremely import.ant to recognize since these developments in institutional formats were immensely innovative and ultimately effective. There can be little doubt that there is a major 'Western' achievement here.

Which of the following is closest to the view of democracy as mentioned in the above passage ?

(a) The subject of democracy is a muddle due to a desire to portray it as a Western concept, 'alien' to non-Western countries.

(b) The language of imposition of democracy is inappropriate. There is, however, a need to consider this concept in the backdrop of culture of 'own ways' of non-Western society.

(c) While democracy is not essentially a Western idea belonging exclusively to the West, the institutional structure of current democratic practices has been their contribution.

(d) None of the statements (a), (b) and (c) given above is correct.

2. With reference to the passage, the folJowing assumptions have been made :

1. Many of the non-Western countries are una ble to have democracy because they take democracy to be a specialized cultural product of the West.

2. Western countries are always trying to impose democracy on non-Western countries.

Which of the above is/are valid assumption/assumptions ?

(a) 1 only

(b) 2 only

Passagc-2

Corporate governance is based on 3· principles such as conducting the business

with all integrity and fairness, being transparent with regard to all

transactions, making all the necessary

disclosures and decisions, complying with

all the laws of the land, accountability and

responsibility towards the stakeholders

and commitment to conducting business

in an ethical manner. Another point

which is highlighted on corporate

governance is the need for those in control

to be able to distinguish between what are

personal and corporate funds while

managing a company.

Fundamentally, there is a level of confidence that is associated with a

B-BRO-M-HTB ( 4 - x)

company that is known to have good

corporate governance. The presence of an

active group of independent directors on

the board contributes a great deal towards

ensuring confidence m the market.

Corporate governance is known to be one

of the criteria that foreign institutional

investors arc increasingly depending on

when deciding on which companies to

invest in. It is also known to have a

positive influence on the share price of the

company. Having a clean image on the

corporate governance front could also

make it easier for companies to source

capital al more reasonable costs.

Unfortunately, corporate governance often becomes the centre of discussion only after

the exposure of a large scam.

According to the passage, which of the

following should be the practice/practices

in good corporate governance ?

1. Companies should always comply with labour and lax laws of the land.

2. Every company in the country should have a government representative as one of the independent directors on the board to ensure transparency.

3. The manager of a company should never invest his personal funds in the company.

(c) 1 and 3 only

(d) 1, 2 and 3

Passage - 3

Malnutrition most commonly occurs between the ages of six months and two years. This happens despite the child's food requirements being less than that of an older child. Malnutrition is often attributed to poverty, but it .has been found that even in households where adults eat adequate quantities of food, more than 50 per cent of children-under-five do not consume enough food . The child's dependence on someone else to feed him/her is primarily responsible for the malnutrition. Very often the mother is working and the responsibility of feeding the young child is left to an older sibling. It is therefore crucial to increase awareness regarding the child's food needs and how to satisfy them.

8-BRO-M-HTB ( 6 - x )

According to the passage, malnutrition in children can be reduced

(a) if the children have regular intake of food.

(b) after they cross the age of five.

(c) if the food needs of younger children are known.

(d) if the responsibility of feeding younger children is given to adults.

According to the author, poverty is not the main cause of malnutrition, but the fact that

1. taking care of younger ones is not a priority for working mothers.

2. awareness of nutritional needs is not propagated by the Public Health authorities.

Seled the correct answer using the code given below :

(a) 1 only

(b) 2 only

(c) Both 1 and 2

(d) Neither 1 nor 2

Passage.- 4

A number of empirical studies find that farmers are risk-averse, though only

moderately in many cases. There is also

evidence to show that farmers' risk

aversion results in cropping patterns and input use designed to reduce risk rather

than to maximize income. Farmers adopt

a number of strategies to manage and

cope with agricultural risks. These include practices like crop and field

diversification, non-farm employment, 7.

storage of stocks and strategic migration

of family members. There arc also

institutions ranging from share tenancy to kinship, extended family and informal

credit agencies. One major obstacle to risk

sharing by farmers is that the same type

of risks can affect a Jarge number of farmers in the region. Empirical studies

show that the traditional methods arc not

adequate. Hence there is a need for policy interventions, especially measures that B. cut across geographical regions.

Policies may aim at tackling

agricultural risks directly or indirectly.

Examples of risk-specific policies are crop

insurance, price stabilization and the

development of varieties resistant to pests and diseases. Policies which affect risk

indirectly arc irrigation, subsidized credit

and access to information. No single

risk-specific policy is sufficient to reduce 9. risk and is without side-effects, whereas

policies not specific to risk influence the

general situation and affect risks only

indirectly. Crop insurance, as a policy

measure to tackle agricultural risk directly, deserves .careful consideration in

the Indian context and in many other

developing countries because the

majority of farmers depend on rain-fed agriculture and in many areas yield

variability is the predominant cause of their income instability.

B-BRO-M-HTB ( 8 - x)

The need for policy intervention to mitigate risks in agriculture is because

(a) farmers arc extremely risk-averse.

(b) farmers do not know how to mitigate risks.

(c) the methods adopted by farmers and existing risk sharing institutions are not adequate.

(d) majority of farmers depend on rain-fed agriculture.

Which of the following observations emerges from the above passage ?

(a) One can identify a single policy that can reduce risk without any side-effect.

(b) No single risk-specific policy is sufficient to reduce agricultural risk.

(c) Policies which affect risk indirectly can eliminate it.

(d) Government's policy intervention can mitigate agricultural risk completely.

Consider the following statements :

(i) A primary group is relatively smaller in si:m.

(ii) Intimacy is an essential characteristic of a primary group.

(iii) A family may be an example of a primary group.

Jn the light of the above statements, which one of the following is true ?

(a) All families arc primary groups.

(b) All primary groups arc families.

(c) A group of smaller size is always a primary group.

(d) Members of a primary group know each other intimately.

Read the following passage and answer the four items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passage only.

Passage

Financial markets m India have

acquired greater depth and liquidity over

the years. Steady reforms since 1991 have

led ~o grc:>wing linkages and integration of

the Indian economy and its financial

system with the global economy. Weak

global economic prospects and continuing

B-BRO-M-HTB ( 14 - x )

uncertainties in the international

financial markets therefore, have had

their impact on the emerging market

economics. Sovereign risk concerns,

particularly in the Euro area, affected

financial markets for the greater part of

the year, with the contagion of Greece's

sovereign debt problem spreading to India

and other economics by way of

higher-than-normal levels of volatility.

The funding constraints m

international financial markets could

impact both the availability a nd cost of

foreign funding for banks and corporates.

Since the Indian financial system is bank

dominated, banks' ability to withstand

stress is critical to overall financial

stability. Indian banks, however, remain

robust, notwithstanding a decline in

capital to risk-weighted assets ratio and a

rise in non-performing asset levels in the

recent past. Capital adequacy levels

remain above the regulatory

requirements. The financial market

infrastructure continues to function

without any major disruption. With

further globalization, consolidation,

deregulation, and diversification of the

financial system, the banking business

may become more complex and riskier.

Issues like risk and liquidity management

and enhancing skill therefore assume

greater significance.

P assage

Crude mineral oil com es out of the earth as a thick brown or black liquid with a strong smell. Ii is a complex mixture of many different substances, each with its own individual qualities. Most of them arc combinations of hydrogen and carbon in varying proportions. Such hydrocarbons are also found in other forms such as bitumen , asphalt and natural gas. Mineral oil originates from the carcasses of tiny animals and from plants that live in the sea. Over millions of years, these dead creatures form large deposits under the sea-bed; and ocean currents cover them with a blanket of sand and silt. As this mineral hardens, it becomes sedimentary rock and effectively shuts out the oxygen , so preventing the complete decomposition of the marine deposits underneath . The layers of sedimentary rock become thicker and heavier. Their pressure pr?duces heat, which transforms the tiny carcasses into crude oil in a process that is still going on today.

32. Mineral oil deposits under the sea do not get completely decomposed because they

(a) are constantly washed by the ocean currents.

(b) become rock and prevent oxygen from entering them.

(c) contain a mixture of hydrogen and carbon.

(d) are carcasses of organisms lying in saline conditions.

Read the following two passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

Passage -1

The law in many parts of the world

increasingly restricts the discharge of

agricultural slurry into watercourses. 'l'he

simplest and often the most economical1y

sound practice returns the material to the

land as semisolid manure or as sprayed

slurry. This dilutes its concentration in

the environment to what might have

occurred in a more primitive and

sustainable type of agriculture and

converts pollutant into fertilizer. Soil

microorganisms decompose the organic

components of sewage and slurry and

most of the mineral nutrients become

available to be absorbed again by the

vegetation.

The excess input of nutrients, both

nitrogen and phosphorus - based, from

agricultural runoff (and human sewage)

has caused many 'healthy' oligotrophic

lakes (low nutrient concentrations, low

plant productivity with abundant water

weeds, and clear water) to change to

eutrophic condition where high nutrient

inputs lead to high phytoplankton

productivity (sometimes dominated by

bloom-forming toxic species). This makes

and, in the worst situations, leads to

anoxia and fish kills; so called cultural

eutrophication. Thus, important

ecosystem services are lost, including the

provisioning service of wild-caught fish

and the cultural services associated with

recreation.

The process of cultural

eutrophication of lakes has been

understood for some time. But only

recently did scientists notice huge 'dead

zones' in the oceans near river outlets,

particularly those draining large

catchment areas such as the Mississippi

in North America and the Yangtze in

China. The nutrient-enriched water flows

through streams, rivers and lakes, and

eventually to the estuary and ocean where

the ecological impact may be huge, killing

virtually all invertebrates and fish in 38.

areas up to 70,000 km2 in extent. More

than 150 sea areas worldwide are now

regularly starved of oxygen as a result of

decomposition of algal blooms, fuelled

particularly by nitrogen from agricultural

runoff of fertilizers and sewage from large

cities. Oceanic dead zones are typically

associated with industrialized nations and

usually lie off countries that subsidize

their agriculture, encouraging farmers to

mcrease productivity and use more

fertilizer.

B-BRO-M-HTB ( 22 - x)

According to the passage, why should the discharge of agricultural slurry into watercourses be restricted ?

1. Losing nutrients in this way is not a good practice economically.

2. Watercourses do not contain the microorganisms that can decompose organic components of agricultural slurry.

3. The discharge may lead to the eutrophication of water bodies.

Select the correct answer using the codes given below

(a) 1 only

(b) 2 and 3 only

(c) 1 and 3 only

(d) 1, 2 and 3

The passage refers to the conversion of "pollutant to fertilizer". What is pollutant and what is fertilizer in this context ?

(a) Decomposed organic component of slurry is pollutant and microorganisms in soil constitute fertilizer.

(b) Discharged agricultural slurry is pollutant and decomposed slurry m soil is fertilizer.

(c) Sprayed slurry is pollutant and watercourse is fertilizer.

(d) None of the above expressions is correct in this context.

Passage- 2

The miseries of the world cannot be cured by physical help only. Until man's nature changes, his physical needs will always arise, and miseries will always be felt, and no amount of physical help will remove them completely. The only solution of the problem is to make mankind pure. Ignorance is the mother of evil and of all the misery we see. Lei men have light, lei them be pure and spiritually strong and educated; then alone will misery cease in the world. We may convert every house in the country into a charitable asylum, we may fill the land with hospitals, but human misery will continue until man's character changes.

According to the passage, which of ihe following statements is most likely io be true as the reason for man's miseries ?

(a) The poor economic and social conditions prevailing in society.

(b) The refusal on the part of man to change his character.

(c) The absence of physical and material help from his society.

(d) Ever increasing physical needs due to changing social structure.

Ecological research over the last quarter of the century has established the deleterious effects of habitat fragmentation due to mining, highways and such other intrusions on forests. When a large block of forests gets fragmented into smaller bits, the edges of all these bits come into contact with human activities resulting m the degradation of the entire forests. Continuity of forested landscapes and corridors gets disrupted affecting several extinction-prone species of wildlife. Habitat fragmentation is therefore considered as the most serious threat to biodiversity conservation. Ad hoc grants of forest lands to mining companies coupled with rampant illegal mmmg is aggravating this threat.
