Read the following Passages and answer

Passage 1There are a instances of diseases that have laid waste huge tracts of forests throughout India. Caused mainly by pathogens and pests, these diseases are deadly and are capable of wiping out entire forests and plantations, causing immense economic as well as ecological loss. Meanwhile, forest pathologists and entomologists are grappling with new maladies that are surfacing almost every year. But with meagre resources and just a few experts working on the issue, things are heading virtually towards a cul-de-sac. Moreover, no assessment has been made so far to quantify the devastation. While large chunks of forests fall prey to maladies, it is also an opportunity for some politicians and timber merchants to cash in on it. Research and documentation on forest disease, particularly on forest pathology, began in India way back in 1929, by pioneering pathologists KD Bagchi and BK Bagchi. Although it has been eight decades since then, not much headway has been made in this direction. The forestry sector today is ailing due to its misplaced priorities, resource crunch, and mismanagement. “Forest management lacks scientific approach,’ says

Surendra Kumar, director of the Himalayan Forest Research Institute (HFRI), Shimla. The scientific community involved with forest diseases is today a dispirited lot. With only a few stalwarts left in this field, forest disease is a neglected area of research. Moreover, bureaucracy is increasingly taking over the scientific institutions and scientists in most of these institutes are a marginalised group. To top it all, there are no institutions dedicated to forest diseases. Although the ministry of environment and forests is the facilitator for such research, it is not paying enough attention to promote scientific research on forest diseases. In fact, the government’s lackadaisical approach came to the fore with the Sal borer epidemic in Madhya Pradesh in 1998. While forest bureaucracy slept, the beetles merrily continued to wipe out entire tracts of precious Sal forests. Eventually, with no solution in sight, thousands of valuable trees were hacked. There were also allegations that the Sal tragedy was a chance for the timber mafia in the state to cash in on timber through the legal loophole, with the nexus of politicians. Today, things haven’t changed one bit. India’s forest department and research institutes

have yet to formulate contingency plans to face any assault of similar dimensions. Forest diseases are elusive. Although experts claim that they know quite a lot about forest diseases, there are still aspects of the maladies that are not completely understood. Says RS Bhandari, entomologist in the Forest Research Institute (FRI), Dehradun, “We know about all the important pests and insects, their life cycles and their development. But there are a

few diseases which remain an enigma.” According to Jamaluddin, head of the pathology department in the Tropical Forest Research Institute (TERI), Jabalpur, “Due to micro climatic changes, we are discovering new aspects of the same disease every year. Diseases have also increased manifold.” Another FRI scientist points out that although forest diseases are increasing, there is no




study to estimate the economic and ecological damage caused by these pests and pathogens. Varying with different geophysical regions and climatic conditions, pathogens and pests are essentially responsible for the tree maladies and then mortality. When the pristine, natural and mixed forests existed, forest diseases acted as a natural control measure to check the proliferation of a particular species that could threaten the balance of the ecosystem. Perhaps, this is why forest diseases paled into insignificance in the past. But today, with shrinking forests and increasing monoculture plantations, any outbreak of disease takes on a virulent form. To top this, changed climatic and forest patterns and environmental pollution have given rise to newer forms of forest diseases. While trees are forced to take an additional load of human-induced environmental changes, the introduction of mono culture has substantially increased the problems. Whatever little we know about forest diseases today comes primarily through mycology, the study of forest pathogens. Mycology explains that the prime pathological reasons for forest disease are fungi, bacteria and viruses. “Among these, fungi playa major role, while the other two are relatively less significant. There are 150 to 200 major pathological infections in central India. Out of these, only five per cent are bacterial. The rest are fungal,” says Jamaluddin. Most of these pathogens stay close to a tree waiting for a chance to infiltrate. Their entry points are small openings or wounds in the tree. However, invasion is not always easy. Like human beings, trees also have antibodies that fight anything alien. In case of invasion from the trunk of a tree, the sapwood acts as a shield and secretes enzymes to fight pathogens. But when attacked and conquered, there are tell-tale signs in the form of knotty growths of fruit bodies that are extensions of the fungi in the tree.

forest diseases.

(b) There is a likelihood of another forest

disease epidemic, similar to the Sal

Borer epidemic, spreading in the

country.

effort towards dealing with forest

diseases in India.

(d) All of the above.

72. Which of these incidents discourages the

government to formulate any kind of

concrete plans?

(a) India lacks specialists in this area of

forestry

(b) The government is not able to work in

concomitance with specialists, like

entomologists and pathogenists

the alleged nexus of politicians with

some of the forest officials


73. Which of these statements cannot be

inferred from the passage?

(a) With the variation of different climatic

conditions, pests responsible for forest

tree degradation, disappear

(b) There are hardly any committed

institutions in India, for the promotion

of research in forest diseases in India

(c) It is possible that the timber mafias

could spread their network with help

from vested interests in the political

and bureaucratic brass





74. The discussion on the present condition of

forest diseases proves that

(a) There must be a cooperative

endeavour by scientists, government

officials and politicians to weed out the

possibilities of forest diseases

(b) A lot more needs to be done by the

government for sustaining the

ecological balance

(c) Hitherto forestry has been a neglected

area of research


Passage 2

For years, the contents of a child’s sandbox

have confounded some of the nation’s top

physicists. Sand and other granular materials,

such as powders, seeds, nuts, soils, and

detergent, behave in ways that seem to

undermine natural laws and cost industries

ranging from pharmaceuticals to agri-business

and mining, billions of dollars.

Just shaking a can of mixed nuts can show you

how problematic granular material can be. The

nuts do not ‘mix’; they ‘unmix’ and sort

themselves out, with the larger Brazil nuts on

top and the smaller peanuts at the bottom. In

this activity and others, granular matter’s

behaviour apparently goes counter to the

second law of thermodynamics, which states

that entropy, or disorder, tends to increase in

any natural system.

Mimicking the mixed-nut conundrum with a

jar containing many small beads and one large

bead, one group of physicists claimed that

vibrations causing the beads to percolate open

up small gaps rather than larger ones. Thus,

when a Brazil nut becomes slightly airborne,

the peanuts rush in underneath and gradually

nudge it to the top. Another group of physicists

colour coded layers of beads to track their

circulation in a container and achieved a

different result. Vibrations, they found, drive

the beads in circles up the centre and down the

sides of the container. Yet downward currents,

similar to convection currents in air or water,

are too narrow to accommodate the larger

bead, stranding it on top.

One industrial engineer who has studied the

problem says that both the ‘percolation’ and

‘convection current’ theories can be right,

depending upon the material, and that

percolation is the major factor with nuts. Given

the inability of scientists to come up with a

single equation explaining unmixing, you can

see why industrial engineers who must

manage granular materials go a little, ‘well,

nuts’! Take Pharmaceuticals for instance.

There may be six types of powders with

different-sized grains in a single medicine

tablet. Mixing them at some speeds might sort

them, while mixing at other speeds will make

them thoroughly amalgamated. One aspirin

company still relies on an experienced

employee wearing a latex glove who pinches

some powder in the giant mixing drum to see if

it ‘feels right’.

Granular material at test can be equally

frustrating to physicists and engineers. Take a

tall cylinder of sand. Unlike a liquid, in which

pressure exerted at the bottom increases in

direct proportion to the liquid’s height,

pressure at the base of the sand cylinder

doesn’t increase indefinitely. Instead, it

reaches a maximum value and stays there. This

quality allows sand to trickle at a nearly

constant rate through the narrow opening




separating the two glass bulbs of an hourglass,

thus measuring the passage of time.

Physicists have also found that forces are not

distributed evenly throughout granular

material. It is this characteristic that may

account for the frequent rupturing of silos in

which grain is stored. In a silo, for instance, the

column’s weight is carried from grain to grain

along jagged chains. As a result the container’s

walls carry more of the weight than its base,

and the force is significantly larger at some

points of contact than at others. Coming up

with equations to explain, much less predict,

the distribution of these force chains is

extremely difficult.

Again, using beads, physicists developed a

simple theoretical model in which they assume

that a given bead transmits the load it bears

unequally and randomly onto the three beads

on which it rests. While the model agrees well

with experimental results, it does not take into

account all of the mechanisms of force

transmission between grains of sand or wheat.

In the struggle to understand granular

materials, sand-studying physicists have at

least one thing in their favour. Unlike particle

physicists who must secure billions of dollars

in government funding for the building of

super-colliders in which to accelerate and view

infinitesimal particles, they can conduct

experiments using such low-cost, low-tech

materials as sand, beads, marbles, and seeds. It

is hoped that more low-tech experiments and

computer simulations will lead to equations

that explain the unwieldy stuff and reduce

some of the wastage, guesswork, and accidents

that occur in the various industries that handle

it.

75. The percolation theory of unmixing is

best illustrated by which of the following

examples?

(a) Contents settling in a bag of potato

chips so that the package appears less

full after handling

(b) Currents of small beads blocking the

upward movement of large beads in a

shaken container

(c) Larger rocks rising to the surface in a

garden ‘after a period of frost

(d) Large nuts blocking the upward

movement of small nuts in a shaken

container

76. In saying that the percolation and

convection current theories may both be

right, the industrial engineer means that

(a) Though the theories have different

names, they describe same physical

mechanism

(b) Both theories are still unproven, as

they have not been tested on a variety

of materials.

(c) Neither theory is supported by an

adequate mathematical basis

(d) The mechanism causing unmixing

varies depending upon the type of

granular material

77. Which of the following appears to be the

best solution for combating the

‘unmixing’ problem faced by

pharmaceutical manufacturers that must

prepare large quantities of powders?

(a) To mix all the powders together at the

same speed

(b) To craft powders

(c) To craft powders so that all the grains

have similar sizes and shapes




(d) To hire engineers who have years of

experience in powder mixing

78. The passage implies that if the top bulb of

an hourglass were filled with water instead

of sand the pressure pushing the water

through the opening would

(a) Remain constant as water trickles

through the opening

(b) Decrease as water trickles through the

opening

(c) Increase as water trickles through the

opening

(d) Be directed at the walls of the

container rather than the base

Passage 3

After President George W. Bush signed the

United States-India Nuclear Cooperation Bill,

he called up Prime Minister Manmohan Singh

to tell him how pleased he was at this

development. While welcoming this event, the

Prime Minister took the opportunity to tell the

President that there remained areas of concern

that needed to be addressed during the

negotiation of the bilateral agreement (called

the 123 agreement, after the relevant clause

number in the US Atomic Energy Act, 1954).

The US has entered into some twenty-five 123

agreements with various countries, including

the one concerning Tarapur. The Tarapur

agreement concluded in 1963 was unique in

that it guaranteed supplies of enriched

uranium fuel from the US for running the

Tarapur reactors for their entire life. However,

after 1978 the US did not supply fuel saying its

domestic legislation (under the Nuclear Non-

Proliferation Act) prevented it from doing so.

India argued that Tarapur was an inter-

governmental agreement and hence it had to

be honoured by the US. But to no avail.

However, later the US allowed France to supply

fuel to India. Subsequently, the USSR (now

Russia) and even China supplied fuel for

Tarapur. The lesson from the Tarapur episode

is that US breached with impunity even a cast-

iron guarantee it had furnished. Considerable

bitterness grew between the US and India and

extended to many other areas beyond the

nuclear one. When India agreed, reluctantly, in

March 2006 to put imported reactors under

“safeguards in perpetuity”, the US consented to

the Indian insistence on assurances of fuel

supply. This meant India could build up a

stockpile of fuel to tide over disruption in

supply and the US would agree to work with

other countries, namely Russia, France, and

Britain, to arrange alternate supplies. The US

legislation, based on the Hyde Bill, forbids

India building up a stockpile of nuclear fuel. It

also obligates the US administration to work

with other Nuclear Supplier Group countries to

get them to suspend supplies to India, if the US

has done so under some provision of the Hyde

Bill. It is not evident how the US can address

the legitimate concerns of India on continued

fuel supply, given the boundaries set by the

Hyde Bill. With regard to future nuclear tests,

the Prime Minister has said, India is only

committed to a voluntary moratorium. A

moratorium is only a temporary holding off of

an activity, conditioned by specific

circumstances that obtained at the time when

such a declaration was made. It cannot be

construed as a permanent ban. The Hyde Bill




has sought to make the moratorium into a

permanent ban. However, there is no such

restraint imposed on the US, China, Pakistan or

any other country. In bringing up this issue, I

do not wish to suggest that, I favour a

resumption of tests by India. But India cannot

prevent other countries from carrying out

tests. It is, therefore, unacceptable that India

forfeits its right to test for all time to come

under the agreement with the US. Even if the

123 agreement is silent on the issue, Indian

negotiators must put this issue on the table.

The Hyde Bill calls for suspension of all

cooperation and fuel supplies and even calls

for return of all equipment and materials

supplied earlier in the event of a test. It baffles

one how India can return reactor installations

that might have been operated a few years,

were such a contingency to arise in future. The

differences over the definition of “full civilian

nuclear cooperation” have been discussed in

the media. The Indian understanding was that

reprocessing of spent fuel, enrichment of

uranium, and production of heavy water also

formed part of the term “full civilian nuclear

cooperation.” In the congressional debate, it

has been noted that these were construed by

the US to be in the nature of military activities

and not civilian. India’s future plans for

Thorium utilisation for civil nuclear power

depend crucially on reprocessing. Similarly,

civil nuclear power units using natural

uranium require heavy water as reactor

coolant and moderator. Equally, if India were

to embark on a sizeable light water reactor

programme, it may like to have control on

supply of enriched uranium for economic and

supply security reasons. India has technologies

of its own in these areas and will develop them

further in the years ahead. If the Indo-US

agreement moves ahead in the manner its

sponsors have speculated, in a few decades

from now some 90 per cent of the nuclear

installations in India would be open to

International Atomic Energy Agency

inspections. In that scenario, how can India

reconcile to the embargo from nuclear

advanced countries on the export of

enrichment, reprocessing, and heavy water

technologies? Even if the issue were to be

papered over now, it will then look from India’s

point of view to have been a very bad bargain.
