Unit Solved Paper-3
Note: This paper contains fifty (50) objective type questions, each
question carries two (2) marks. Attempt all the questions.
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow
(Question No. 1 to 9)
We have inherited the tradition of secrecy about the budget from
Britain were also the system has been strongly attacked by eminent
economists and political scientists including Pater jay. Sir Richard Clarke,
who was the originating genius of nearly every important development in the
British budgeting techniques during the last two decades, has spoken out
about the abuse of budget secrecy? The problem of long-term tax policy
should surely be debated openly with the facts on the table. In my opinion,
all governments should have just the same duty to publish their expenditure
policy. Indeed, this obligation to public taxation policy is really essential for
the control of public expenditure in order to get realistic taxation
implications.
Realizing that democracy flourishes best on the principles of open
government, more and more democracies are having an open public debate
on budget proposals before introducing the appropriate Bill in the
legislature. In the United States the budget is conveyed in a message by the
President to the Congress, which comes well in advance of the data when the
Bill is introduced in the congress. In Finland the parliament and the people
are already discussing in June the tentative budget proposals which are to
be introduced in the Finnish parliament in September.
Every budget contains a cartload of figures in black and white-but the
dark figures represent the myriad lights and shades of India's life, the
contrasting tones of poverty and wealth, and of bread so dear flesh and blood
so cheap, the deep tints of adventure and enterprise and man's ageless
struggle for a brighter morning. The union budget should not be an annual
Scourge would work much better when the nonsensical secrecy is replaced
by openness and public consultation, resulting in fair laws and the people's
acceptance of their moral duty to pay.

Read the following passage and answer the questions
that follow (Question No. 46 to 50)
Each day at the Shanti Niketan School starts with the Sara Swati
Vandana. When painting competitions are held in the school, images of
Hindu gods and goddesses are most common. Sanskrit is a favorite subject
of many a student. Nothing new about it except that the 1,200- odd
students studying in the Hindu-run school are Muslims.
In 1983 when Ranchodbhai Kiri started Niketan in the all- Muslim
Juhapura area of Ahmedabad in Gujrat, only 20 percent of the students
were Muslims. But when riots involving the Muslims of Juhapura and the
Hindus of nearby Jivraj park- Vejalpur affected the locality, Hindus started
migrating. Today all the students are Muslims and the school is a un
parallel example of harmony. In the 2002, when a section of inflamed
Muslims wanted the school closed, the parents of the students stood like a
wall behind it.
Shanti Niketan's principal says, " We never thought of moving the
school out of the area because of the love and affection of the local Muslim.
Indeed, they value the high standard of education which we have set." Such
is the reputation of the school that some of the local Muslim strongmen
accused of involvement in communal riots are willing to protect the school
during the riots.
The parents of Shanti Niketan's students believe that it's the best
school when it comes to the quality of the teaching. A large number of
students have gone for both graduation and post-graduation studies.
Significantly, the only Muslim teacher in the 40- member teaching staff,
Husena Mansuri, teacher Sanskrit. In fact, she is so happy at the school
that she recently declined the principalship of another Muslim-run school.
Some of the students' entries in a recent school painting competition
mere truly is moving. One drew a picture of Bharat Mata with a mosque and
temple, while another portrayed a boy tying Rakhi to his sister. truly, Shanti
Niketan is a beacon of hope that, despite the provocations from both
communities Hindus and Muslims can live side-by-side with mutual
respect.

Direction (Q. 10 to 15) : Read the following passage and answer the
questions that follow:
A manned expedition to Mars is on the cards. Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger, an
American space-scientist, believes that from every point of view Mars is more
interesting than the moon. A manned Mars-probe might uncover traces of a
civilization there that died when the weak gravity could no longer retain
oxygen. There might well be archaeological remains to prove it.
For Mars is the only planet where some form of advanced life could once
have been sustained. Indeed as early as 1965, the unmanned craft Mariner
4 observed the planet from just over 6,000miles away and made a discovery
that could lend support to theories about life on Mars. Observation revealed
that there were for fewer craters made by meteorites than had been
predicted. Thus most of craters must have been eroded, possibly by wind
and water. Other unmanned crafts have since been sent to Mars. But, in the
long run, only a manned expedition can settle the enigma of whether life
exists outside our own world
A manned trip to Mars has been declared to be the next logical step. It has
been suggested that colonizing the planet is within the realms of possibility.
The first such journey is likely to take place in the late 1980s, 1980 to be
precise, when Mars is closet to Earth at 35 million miles.
To carry out this mission economically, to have the crew back after only
eighteen months, special electric rocket propulsion would have to be used.
This would be the spaceship to reach the relatively fantastic speeds of
between 32,000 and 112,00m/hour. Ambitious though this may sound,
Mars itself would be merely a stepping-stone actual fact.
Flight to the stars is the real and ultimate objective of all manned space
programme. Yet at present the very idea of inter-stellar flight sounds too far-
fetched for space officials to talk about it often.
12. Which is not the use of electric rocket propulsion in the mission to
Mars ?
(A) To save money
(B) To enable the crew to return in comparatively less time
(C) Relatively high speed can be reached
(D) Inter-stellar flights will become frequent
13. Inter-stellar travel is :
(A) Out of the question
(B) Rarely discussed by space-scientists
(C) On everybody's lips
(D) Not yet a respectable subject for scientific discussion
14. The 1965 Mars-Probe indicated that:
(A) Further investigation is pointless
(B) The craters could have been eroded by wind and rain
(C) Mars has few predicated meteorites
(D) The craters were not all made by meteorites
Direction (Q. 16 to 20) : Read the following passage and answer the
questions that follow:
As matters stand today, many teachers are unable to do the best of which
they are capable. For this there are a number of reasons, some more or less
accidental, others very deep-seated. To begin with the former, most teachers
are overworked and are compelled to prepare their pupils for examinations
rather than to give them a liberalizing mental training. The people who are
not accustomed to teaching-and this includes practically all educational
authorities-have no idea of the expense of spirit that it involves.
Clergymen are not expected to preach sermons for several hours every day,
but the analogous effort is demanded of teachers. The result is that many of
them become harassed and nervous. out of touch with recent work in the
subjects that they teach, and unable to inspire their students with a sense
of the intellectual delights to be obtained from new understanding and new
knowledge. This, however, is by no means the bravest matter. In most
countries certain opinions are recognized as correct, and others as
dangerous.
Teachers whose opinions are not correct are expected to keep silent about
them. If they mention their opinions it is propaganda, while the mentioning
of correct opinions is that the inquiring young too often have to go outside
the classroom to discover what is being taught by the most vigorous minds
of their own time. There is a subject called civics, in which, perhaps more
than in any other, the teaching is expected to be misleading. The young are
taught a sort of copybook account of how public affairs are supposed to be
conducted, and are carefully shielded from all knowledge as to how in fact
they are conducted. When they grow up and discover the truth, the result is
too often a complete cynicism in which all public ideals are lost; whereas if
they had been taught the truth carefully and with proper comment at an
earlier age they might have become men able to combat evils in which, as it
is, they acquiesce with a shrug.
Direction (Q. 21 to 25) : Read the following passage and answer the
questions that follow:
Nationalism, of course, is a curious phenomenon which at a certain stage in
a country's history gives life, growth and unity by, at the same time, it has a
tendency to limit one, because one thinks of one's country as something
different from the rest of the world. One's perspective changes and one is
continuously thinking of one's own struggles and virtues to the exclusion of
other thoughts. The result is that the same nationalism which is the symbol
of growth for a people becomes a symbol of the cessation of that growth.
Nationalism, when it becomes successful sometimes goes on spreading in an
aggressive way and becomes a danger internationally. Whatever line of
thought you follow, you arrive at the conclusion that some kind of balance
must be found. Otherwise, something that was good can turn into evil.
Culture, which is essentially good becomes not only static but aggressive
and something that breeds conflict and hatred when looked at from a long
point of view. How do you find a balance, I don't know. Apart from the
political and economic problems of the age, perhaps, that is the greatest
problem today because behind it there is tremendous search for something
which it cannot find. We turn to economic theories because they have an
undoubted importance. It is folly to talk of culture or even god, when huma n
beings starve and die. Before one can talk about anything else one must
provide the normal essentials of life of human beings. That is where
economics comes in. Human beings today are not in a mood to tolerate this
suffering, starvation and inequality when they see that the burden is not
equally shared. Others profit while they only bear the burden.
21. The greatest problem in the middle of the passage refers to the
question:
(A) How to mitigate hardship to human being
(B) How to contain the dangers of aggressive nationalism
(C) How to share the economic burden equally
(D) How to curb international harted

(C) Nationalism is not enough (D) Nationalism and national problems
25. Which of the following is nearly the opposite of the meaning of the
word 'cessation' used in the passage?
(A) Block (B) Continuance
(C) Balance (D) Retardation
Direction (Q. 26 to 30) : Read the following passage and answer the
questions that follow:
The Constitution guarantees every citizen the fundamental right to equality.
Yet after 50 years of independence, just one perusal of the female infant
mortality figures, the literacy rates and the employment opportunities for
women is sufficient evidence that discrimination exists. Almost predictably,
this gender, bias is evident in our political system as well, In the 13th Lok
Sabha, there were only 43 women MPs out of total of 543; it is not a
surprising figure, for never has women's representation in Parliament been
more than 10 per cent.
Historically, the manifestos of major political parties have always
encouraged women's participation. It has been merely a charade. So
women's organizations, denied a place on merit, opted for the last resort; a
reservation of seats for women in parliament and State Assemblies. Parties,
which look at everything with a vote bank in mind, seemed to endorse this.
Alas, this too was a mirage. But there is another aspect also. At a time when
caste is the trump card, some politicians want the bill to include further
quotas for women from among minorities and backward castes. There is
more to it. A survey shows that there is a general antipathy towards the bill.
It is actually a classic case of double speak; in public, politicians were
endorsing women's reservation but in the backrooms of parliament, they
were busy sabotaging it. The reasons are clear: Men just don's want to
vacate their seats of power.
29. The sentence "Men just don't want to vacate their seats of power"

(A) Lust for power.
