Noam Chomsky has presented his views on the functioning of democracy in USA in the following passage. Read the passage and answer questions 7-12: American power is diminishing, as it has been in fact since its peak in 1945, but it's still incomparable. And it's dangerous. Obama's remarkable global terror campaign and the limited, pathetic reaction to it in the West is one shocking example. And it is a campaign of international terrorism — by far the most extreme in the world. According to received doctrine, we live in capitalist democracies, which are the best possible system, despite some flaws. There's has been an interesting debate over the years about the relation between capitalism and democracy — for example, are they even compatible? I won't be pursuing this because I'd like to discuss a different system — what we could call the "really existing capitalist democracy," RECD for short, pronounced "wrecked" by accident. To begin with, how does RECD compare with democracy? Well, that depends on what we mean by "democracy". There are several versions of this. One, there is a kind of received version. It's soaring rhetoric of the Obama variety, patriotic speeches, what children are taught in school, and so on. In the U.S. version, it's government "of, by and for the people". And it's quite easy to compare that with RECD. In the United States, one of the main topics of academic political science is the study of attitudes and policy and their correlation. The study of attitudes is reasonably easy in the United States — heavily-polled society, pretty serious and accurate polls, and policy you can see, and you can compare them. And the results are interesting. In the work that's essentially the gold standard in the field, it's concluded that for roughly 70% of the population — the lower 70% on the wealth/income scale — they have no influence on policy whatsoever. They're effectively disenfranchised. As you move up the wealth/income ladder, you get a little bit more influence on policy. When you get to the top, which is may be a tenth of one percent, people essentially get what they want, i.e. they determine the policy. So the proper term for that is not democracy; it's plutocracy. These characteristics of RECD show up all the time. So the major domestic issue in the United States for the public is jobs. Polls show that very clearly. For the very wealthy and the financial institutions, the major issue is the deficit. Well, what about policy? There's now a sequester in the United States: a sharp cutback in funds. Is that because of jobs or is it because of the deficit? Well, the deficit. Europe, incidentally, is much worse — so outlandish that even The Wall Street Journal has been appalled by the disappearance of "democracy in Europe." "...Economic policies have changed little in response to one electoral defeat after another. The left has replaced the right, the right has ousted the left. Even the center-right trounced Communists (in Cyprus) — but the economic policies have essentially remained the same. Governments will continue to cut spending and raise taxes." It doesn't matter what people think and "national governments must follow macro-economic directives set by the European Commission." Elections are close to meaningless, very much as in Third World Countries that are ruled by the international financial institutions. That's what Europe has chosen to become. It doesn't have to. Returning to the United States, where the situation is not quite that bad, there's the same disparity between public opinion and policy on a very wide range of issues. Take for example ... national healthcare. The U.S., as you may know has a health system which is an international scandal. It has twice the per capita costs of other OECD countries and relatively poor outcomes. The only privatized, pretty much unregulated system. The public doesn't like it. They've been calling for national healthcare, public options for years, but the financial institutions think it's fine, so it stays — stasis. In fact, if the United States had a healthcare system like comparable countries there wouldn’t be any deficit. The famous deficit would be erased, which doesn't matter that much anyway. What is Chomsky's opinion on capitalist democracy?
Does not supports it
Supports it
He has no opinion
Supports it conditionally
Chomsky spends the whole passage critically dismantling 'capitalist democracy,' relabelling it 'RECD' (deliberately pronounced 'wrecked'), and concludes that under it roughly 70% of the population has 'no influence on policy whatsoever' and that 'the proper term for that is not democracy; it's plutocracy.' The line calling capitalist democracies 'the best possible system' is explicitly framed as the 'received doctrine' — the conventional view Chomsky is about to challenge — not his own opinion. So Chomsky clearly does not support capitalist democracy as currently practised; the CSV's original marking of 'Supports it' inverts his actual, strongly critical stance.

What is bothering American public?
Healthcare
Jobs
Deficit
Capitalism
The passage states plainly: 'the major domestic issue in the United States for the public is jobs,' directly identifying jobs (not the deficit, which the passage says is the priority of the wealthy and financial institutions) as what bothers the American public.

Depending on American based financial institutions
Depending on third world
Depending on global financial institutions
Depending on internal financial institutions
The passage says Europe's elected governments 'must follow macro-economic directives set by the European Commission' and are 'ruled by the international financial institutions,' meaning Europe's economic situation is dictated by global/international financial institutions, matching option C.

What is Chomsky's take on American Healthcare system?
Scandalous
Serving wealthy
Serving poor
Efficient
Chomsky describes the U.S. healthcare system as 'an international scandal' with twice the per-capita cost of other OECD countries and relatively poor outcomes, directly supporting 'Scandalous' as his characterization.

Healthcare as in Europe
Better public health care
Healthcare supported by international financial institutions
Model healthcare
The passage states, 'if the United States had a healthcare system like comparable countries there wouldn't be any deficit' — i.e., adopting a healthcare model similar to Europe/other OECD nations is presented as the way to eliminate the U.S. deficit.

What did shock The Wall Street Journal?
Establishment of democracy in Europe
Defeat of left and right parties in Europe
Establishment of Communists rule in Europe
Vanishing of democracy in Europe
The passage notes that 'even The Wall Street Journal has been appalled by the disappearance of "democracy in Europe"' — i.e., the vanishing of democracy in Europe is what shocked the WSJ, matching option D.
10 men can complete a piece of work in 15 days and 15 women can complete the same work in 12 days. If all the 10 men and 15 women work together, in how many days will the work get completed?
6
10 men finish the work in 15 days, so 10 men's work rate is 1/15 of the job per day; 15 women finish it in 12 days, giving a rate of 1/12 per day. Working together their combined rate is 1/15 + 1/12 = (4+5)/60 = 9/60 = 3/20 of the work per day, so the job is completed in 20/3 = 6⅔ days.

The series is generated by multiplying by successive integers: 2×2=4, 4×3=12, 12×4=48, 48×5=240, and continuing the pattern, 240×6=1440, which is the sixth term.
It was Sunday on January 1st, 2006. What was the day of the week on January 1st, 2010?
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Wednesday
From Jan 1, 2006 (Sunday) to Jan 1, 2010, the day of the week advances by one day per common (365-day) year and two days across a leap year (because Feb 29 adds an extra day). 2006→2007 is +1 (Monday), 2007→2008 is +1 (Tuesday), 2008 is a leap year so 2008→2009 is +2 (Thursday), and 2009→2010 is +1, landing on Friday.
A merchant has 1000 kg of Sugar, part of which he sells at 8% profit and the rest at 18% profit. He gains 14% on the whole. The quantity sold at 18% profit is
400 kg
560 kg
600 kg
640 kg
Let x kg be sold at 18% profit and (1000−x) kg at 8% profit, with overall profit 14%: 0.08(1000−x) + 0.18x = 0.14×1000 → 80 + 0.10x = 140 → x = 600 kg.
The population of a town 2 years ago was 62,500. Due to migration to big cities, it decreases every year at the rate of 4%. The present population of the town is
56,700
57,600
58,800
60,000
A population declining 4% per year for two years from 62,500 gives 62,500 × 0.96 × 0.96 = 57,600 as the present population.
If GZWRF is coded as BURMA then how LJWRFSD will be coded?
HUNGARY
AUSTRIA
GERMANY
IRELAND
Each letter of GZWRF is shifted back by 5 positions in the alphabet to give BURMA (G→B, Z→U, W→R, R→M, F→A). Applying the same −5 shift to LJWRFSD gives L→G, J→E, W→R, R→M, F→A, S→N, D→Y, spelling GERMANY.
Answer questions 19-24 based on the following information:
Vimal Fabric Company, manufactures two brands of cloth Fabric X and Fabric Y through three stages of manufacturing namely spinning, weaving and dyeing. The company has six spinning machines, ten weaving machines and five dyeing machines. Each machine works for 10 hours a day. One unit of Fabric X needs 40 minutes on a spinning machine, 2 hours on a weaving machine and 30 minutes on a dyeing machine in order to be completed. Similarly, one unit of Fabric Y needs 60 minutes on a spinning machine, 30 minutes on a weaving machine and 60 minutes on a dyeing machine in order to be completed. (One unit = 50 metres cloth)
In a day, how many units of Fabric Y can be completed at most?
20
30
40
50
Each machine works 10 hours/day. Available daily capacity: spinning = 6×10 = 60 hrs, weaving = 10×10 = 100 hrs, dyeing = 5×10 = 50 hrs. For Fabric Y alone (1 hr spinning, 0.5 hr weaving, 1 hr dyeing per unit), the maximum units are limited by whichever resource runs out first: 60/1=60 (spinning), 100/0.5=200 (weaving), 50/1=50 (dyeing). The binding constraint is dyeing, capping output at 50 units.
Answer questions 19-24 based on the following information:
Vimal Fabric Company, manufactures two brands of cloth Fabric X and Fabric Y through three stages of manufacturing namely spinning, weaving and dyeing. The company has six spinning machines, ten weaving machines and five dyeing machines. Each machine works for 10 hours a day. One unit of Fabric X needs 40 minutes on a spinning machine, 2 hours on a weaving machine and 30 minutes on a dyeing machine in order to be completed. Similarly, one unit of Fabric Y needs 60 minutes on a spinning machine, 30 minutes on a weaving machine and 60 minutes on a dyeing machine in order to be completed. (One unit = 50 metres cloth)
If 20 units of Fabric Y are made in a day, how many units of Fabric X can be completed the same day?
0
30
40
45
Making 20 units of Fabric Y uses 20 hrs spinning (40 hrs left of 60), 10 hrs weaving (90 hrs left of 100), and 20 hrs dyeing (30 hrs left of 50). Fabric X needs 40 min (2/3 hr) spinning, 2 hrs weaving, and 30 min (0.5 hr) dyeing per unit; the remaining capacity allows 40÷(2/3)=60 units by spinning, 90÷2=45 units by weaving, and 30÷0.5=60 units by dyeing — the binding (smallest) limit is 45 units from weaving.

If only 30 units of Fabric Y are made in a day, how many machine hours will be idle that day?
120
130
135
150
Making 30 units of Fabric Y uses 30 hrs of spinning (30 idle of 60), 15 hrs of weaving (85 idle of 100), and 30 hrs of dyeing (20 idle of 50). Total idle machine-hours = 30 + 85 + 20 = 135.

If one more dyeing machine is added, at the most how many more units of Fabric X can be made in a day?
0
5
8
10
If only Fabric X is produced, the capacity limits are 60÷(2/3)=90 units (spinning), 100÷2=50 units (weaving), and 50÷0.5=100 units (dyeing) — so weaving, not dyeing, is already the bottleneck at 50 units. Adding another dyeing machine increases dyeing capacity, which was never the constraint, so it yields zero additional units of Fabric X.

If only Fabric X has to be made, what machine should be bought so that there is a maximum increase in production capacity?
Spinning machine
Weaving machine
Dyeing machine
Cannot be determined
As shown above, when only Fabric X is made, weaving is the binding constraint (limiting output to 50 units versus 90 from spinning and 100 from dyeing), so adding a weaving machine gives the biggest increase in production capacity.

As shown for Fabric Y alone, dyeing is the binding constraint (50 units versus 60 from spinning and 200 from weaving), so buying an additional dyeing machine gives the biggest increase in Fabric Y production capacity.
What is summative evaluation?
Fine tunes project implementation
Pilot study
Experimental study
Basically an impact study
Summative evaluation is conducted at the end of a programme/course to judge its overall outcomes and effectiveness — essentially an impact study — in contrast to formative evaluation, which is carried out during implementation to fine-tune the process.
Evaluation is different from measurement. If so how?
Process of Quantitative Judging
Comprehensive Process of Judging
Process of Qualitative Judging
Judging on the basis of marks secured
Measurement is the quantitative assignment of numbers/scores (e.g., marks obtained), while evaluation is a broader, comprehensive process of judging — it interprets those measurements against objectives/criteria to arrive at a qualitative judgment of worth or effectiveness.
One of the following is related to fundamentals of learning
Adoption
Perception
Cognition
Teaching Aids
Cognition — the mental processes of acquiring, processing and understanding knowledge (perception, memory, reasoning, etc.) — is a core fundamental of how learning occurs, whereas 'adoption' and 'teaching aids' are not fundamentals of the learning process itself; perception is a narrower sub-process within cognition.
These are fundamentals of course design
Goals, syllabus, guidelines, teaching aids, examination
Goals, content, context, methods, assessment
Curriculum, teaching method, assessment, evaluation
Syllabus, teaching method, learning outcome, evaluation
Standard course-design frameworks (e.g., Tyler's rationale) treat goals/objectives, content, context, methods and assessment as the essential building blocks of any course design, whereas the other options either omit key elements (assessment/methods) or narrow the scope to only syllabus or curriculum mechanics.
What is the type of verbal communication do you find in classroom?
Spoken
Spoken and written
Written
Body language
Classroom verbal communication includes both spoken communication (lectures, discussion) and written communication (notes, blackboard text, handouts) — body language, by contrast, is non-verbal, not verbal, communication.
What is meant by semantics in classroom teaching?
It concerns excellence in teaching
It concerns the problems in communication
It concerns verbal and non-verbal codes
It concerns transmission of knowledge
In the standard treatment of this topic for teaching-aptitude exams, semantics in classroom teaching is understood as concerning the verbal and non-verbal codes through which meaning is conveyed and interpreted between teacher and student, rather than being restricted narrowly to 'problems in communication' (which describes only semantic barriers, a subset of the topic) or the other, unrelated options.
The warming of earth due to atmospheric gases is known as
Air pollution
Ozone depletion
Green house effect
Green gas effect
The trapping of heat by atmospheric gases (CO2, methane, water vapour, etc.), which warms the Earth's surface, is precisely the greenhouse effect.
Ozone is scientifically represented as
O
Ozone is a triatomic form of oxygen with the chemical formula O3, distinct from the diatomic O2 that makes up most atmospheric oxygen.
Crocodiles prefer sun bath
to elevate body temperature
to dry their skin
to decrease body temperature
to maintain body temperature
Crocodiles are ectothermic (cold-blooded) reptiles that cannot generate their own body heat internally, so they bask in the sun to absorb external heat and elevate their body temperature for metabolic activity.
Who can declare an area to be constituted as a national park according to Wild Life Act?
Supreme Court
High Court
State Government
Central Government
Under Section 35 of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, it is the State Government that is empowered to declare any area as a National Park.
'Biological Hot Spot' refers to
Important spot from Biological point of view
Spot where environment has reached dangerous level
Place where temperature is very high
Place where biodiversity is very safe
A biodiversity/biological hotspot is a region that, alongside high species richness, must have lost a significant proportion (70% or more, per Norman Myers' criteria) of its original habitat to qualify — i.e., it is a spot where the environment/biodiversity has reached a dangerously threatened level, not merely a biologically 'important' or safe area.

Dr. A.S. Vaman Acharya (Vamanacharya) served as Chairman of the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board through 2014, resigning in 2015.
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions 31 to 36 :
We live in a world in which science, technology and development play important roles in changing human destiny. However, over-exploitation of natural resources for the purpose of development leads to serious environmental hazards. In fact, the idea of development is itself controversial in the present situation as in the name of development, we are unethically plundering natural resources. It is true that a science that does not respect nature's needs and a development which does not respect people's needs threatens human survival. The green thoughts of Gandhi give us a new vision to harmonise nature with the needs of people.
Gandhi was not an environmentalist in the modern sense. Although he did not create a green philosophy or write nature poems, he is often described as an "apostle of applied human ecology." It is a fact that environmental concerns were minimal in Gandhi's time; but eminent environmental writers like Ramachandra Guha consider him an early Environmentalist. His views on nature are scattered throughout his writings. His ideas relating to Satyagraha based on truth and non-violence, simple life style, and development reveal how sustainable development is possible without doing any harm to nature and our fellow beings. His idea that "nature has enough to satisfy every one's needs, but not to satisfy anybody's greed" became one line ethic to modern environmentalism.
The author argues that development
has no importance at all
can change human society
is acceptable in itself
is unrelated to technology
The passage says human survival is threatened specifically by 'a science that does not respect nature's needs and a development which does not respect people's needs' — implying that development which does respect those needs is not itself the problem. This shows the author treats development as acceptable in principle; it is the disrespectful, exploitative way development is currently practised ('in the name of development, we are unethically plundering natural resources') that he criticises, not the concept of development itself.

Why is development not an absolute value?
It is a Western concept
It is morally wrong
All forms of development are bad
It exploits natural resources indiscriminately
The passage explains that development is controversial because 'in the name of development, we are unethically plundering natural resources' and 'over-exploitation of natural resources for the purpose of development leads to serious environmental hazards' — i.e., development as practised exploits natural resources indiscriminately. Nowhere does the passage claim 'all forms of development are bad' (option C); it specifically targets exploitative, disrespectful development, matching option D.

The author says that human survival is in danger because
nature’s resources are no longer there
science is ignoring nature
men are now immoral
societies are hankering after modernity
The passage states directly: 'a science that does not respect nature's needs... threatens human survival.' This identifies science disregarding/ignoring nature as the source of danger to human survival. The passage never claims that nature's resources 'are no longer there' (option A), so that option is unsupported by the text.

Gandhi was
a well-trained environmentalist
a writer who wrote prolifically on one beauties of nature
a thinker who focussed only on nature
an original thinker who emphasized both nature and human needs
The passage credits Gandhi's ideas — Satyagraha, truth and non-violence, simple living — with showing 'how sustainable development is possible without doing any harm to nature and our fellow beings,' i.e., a vision balancing both nature and human needs; he is called an 'apostle of applied human ecology,' which by definition concerns human beings in relation to nature, not nature alone. This directly contradicts describing him as 'a thinker who focussed only on nature' (option C) and instead supports option D.

Gandhi wanted a development
Which would make us the equals of the West
Which would also protect nature
Which would not need any change in the modern life style
Which would destroy capitalism altogether
The passage states Gandhi's ideas reveal 'how sustainable development is possible without doing any harm to nature and our fellow beings' — i.e., he wanted a form of development that would also protect nature, matching option B.

According to this passage Gandhi’s environmentalism was
hopelessly nonmodern
unrealistic
irrelevant to modern society
capable of guiding modern environmentalism
The passage's closing line states that Gandhi's idea 'became one line ethic to modern environmentalism' — explicitly saying his environmentalism shaped/guides modern environmentalism. This directly contradicts calling it 'hopelessly nonmodern' (option A, the original marking) and instead supports option D.
Identify independent and dependent variables in this hypothesis : Running will increase a person's heart rate.
Increase (IV), Person (DV)
Increase (DV), Person (IV)
Running (DV), Heart rate (IV)
Running (IV), Heart rate (DV)
In the hypothesis 'Running will increase a person's heart rate,' running is the manipulated/predictor factor (independent variable) and heart rate is the outcome being measured, which depends on running (dependent variable).

'Cat Walk' is a fine example for
Verbal communication
Cybernetics
Interpersonal communication
Kinesics
A 'catwalk' — the styled manner of walking used in fashion shows — communicates through posture, gait and body movement rather than words, making it an example of kinesics (body-language communication).
Two statements I and II given below are followed by two conclusions (a) and (b). You have to consider the statements are true. Which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements ? Statements : (I) All jungles are Elephants. (II) Some Elephants are horses. Conclusions : (a) All horses are jungles. (b) Some Elephants are jungles.
Only conclusion (a) follows
Only conclusion (b) follows
Neither conclusion (a) nor conclusion (b) follows
Both conclusion (a) and (b) follow
From the universal affirmative 'All jungles are Elephants,' conversion (by limitation, assuming jungles is a non-empty class, as is standard in these tests) validly yields 'Some Elephants are jungles' — so conclusion (b) follows. Conclusion (a), 'All horses are jungles,' cannot be validly derived: 'Some Elephants are horses' combined with 'All jungles are Elephants' only tells us some elephants overlap with horses and all jungles are elephants, not that horses are jungles.
In the following question a statement is followed by two assumptions (i) and (ii). An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. Consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the following assumptions is implicit in the statement ? Statement : “Enroll with us before 15th December to get the advantage of our 20% discount offer”, an advertisement by a coaching class. Assumptions : (i) Discount offer is bound to attract good students as well. (ii) Even those students who cannot afford to pay the fees of coaching classes may join this class.
Only assumption (i) is implicit
Only assumption (ii) is implicit
Neither assumption (i) nor (ii) is implicit
Both the assumptions are implicit
The advertisement merely offers a time-bound discount to encourage enrolment; it does not implicitly assume that the discount will specifically attract 'good students' (assumption i), nor does it assume that students who otherwise 'cannot afford' the fees will now be able to join (assumption ii) — a price cut doesn't necessarily bring fees within reach of those who couldn't afford them before. Neither assumption is a necessary, implicit part of the statement.
The question below is followed by two arguments (i) and (ii). Decide which of the arguments is "strong" and which is "weak". Choose the correct answer from the given below. Statement : Should public holidays be declared on demise of important national leaders ? Arguments : (i) No, such unscheduled holiday hamper the national progress. (ii) Yes, people would like to pay their homage to the departed soul.
Only the argument (i) is strong
Only the argument (ii) is strong
Neither argument (i) nor argument (ii) is strong
Both the arguments are strong
Argument (i) raises a concrete, general and practically relevant consequence (unscheduled holidays disrupting national progress/work), making it a strong argument that directly engages with the policy question. Argument (ii) offers only a vague sentimental appeal ('people would like to pay homage') without addressing the practical merits or costs of declaring the holiday, making it weak.
Among the four terms marked A – D, three terms are similar and one is dissimilar. Find the one that is not similar.
Loamy soil
Silt
Clayey soil
Sandy soil
Loamy, Clayey and Sandy soils are all texture-based classifications used to name distinct 'types' of soil, whereas Silt refers to a particle-size fraction (intermediate between sand and clay) rather than a standalone soil type in the same classificatory sense, making it the odd one out.
Choose the pair of words which shows the same relationship as given at the top. Skein : Yarn
Squeeze : Lemon
Fire : Coal
Ream : Paper
Tree : Lumber
A 'skein' is a coiled bundle/quantity unit in which yarn is sold or wound, exactly as a 'ream' is the standard bundled-quantity unit for paper — the same 'quantity-unit : material' relationship. The other pairs describe different relationships (an action performed on an object, or a raw source versus its processed product).
Which statement represents the inverse of the statement "If it is snowing, then skeeter wears a sweater" ?
If skeeter wear a sweater, then it is snowing.
If skeeter does not wear a sweater, then it is not snowing.
If it is not snowing, then skeeter does not wear a sweater.
If it is not snowing, then skeeter wears a sweater.
For a conditional 'If P, then Q,' the inverse negates both the antecedent and consequent while keeping the same order: 'If not P, then not Q.' With P = 'it is snowing' and Q = 'skeeter wears a sweater,' the inverse is 'If it is not snowing, then skeeter does not wear a sweater.'
What is a unit of information ?
