    Instructions: Read the following paragraph carefully answer the question based on the same. Corruption in India is has been a problem ever since the country had been having a multilayered administration by officers, ministers and other administrative chiefs. The corruption problem in ancient India, coupled with bribery, kept infesting the society more and more in an increasing rate. This is quite clear from the way the contemporary writers like Ksemendra and Kalhana have condemned the government officials, as well as other employees of different levels, in their celebrated works. Ksemendra in his Dasavataracaritam has advised the king to remove all the officials, ministers, generals and priests from office with immediate effect, who were either taking bribes themselves or have been indulging in corruption in some other way. Yet another work by Ksemendra, called Narmamala, depicts corruption bribery spreading fast like rampant maladies. He also found an answer to the much discussed question how to stop corruption in India of his time; he has explicitly addressed the contemporary intelligentsia to step forward and shoulder the responsibility of purging their folks. Kalhana too was merciless in his condemnation of the corrupt government officers in India of his own time. He damned the officials outright and asked the king to stay alert from their evil entente. Kalhana has also cited some examples of top incidents of corruption in India of his days. He said that Bijja became even richer than the kind as he sought to unfair means of getting money, while Ananda managed to achieve a high post in the office by bribing his higher officials.  Embezzlements in India was just the same problem in the yesteryears as they are now, mostly among the police and administrative officers. In fact, Kautilya has given a detailed list, referring to not less than forty ways of embezzlement that the treasury officers in his time were used to practice. The most common of them were pratibandha or obstruction, prayoga or loan, vyavahara or trading, avastara or fabrication of accounts, pariahapana or causing less revenue and thereby affecting the treasury, upabhoga or embezzling funds for self enjoyment, and apahara or defalcation. And he uses a nice metaphor too – just like one cannot resist tasting the drop of honey or poison on the tip of the tongue, a government servant can never resist devouring even a bit of the government revenue. Again, we cannot confirm if a fish under water is drinking water or not; similarly, ascertaining the bribery, corruption and embezzlement on the part of government officials and policemen were equally impossible.  And no wonder, this huge amount of embezzlement in different spheres of the administration and in varied degrees led to the piling up of a huge amount of black money in Indian market in the age of the Arthasastra; nevertheless, we would not enquire into that in detail and make this article unnecessarily long. In brief, that caused all the similar problems we find today, including sudden and unpredictable hikes in the prices of essential goods. It would have been quite interesting to address the issue under the present economic circumstances of the present day India, but the scope of this article would ask to better leave that out.   What are the problems caused due to embezzlement? I. Black money II. Price rise III. Increase in bribery IV. Delayed justice

    Instructions: The next two question consist of a question and two statements with the number I & II. You need to decide whether the data provided in statements are enough to answer the question. Read both the statements in the next two questions and give the answer   How A is related to B? (I) B says, “I have only one brother”. (II) A says, “I have only one sister”.

    • If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question

    • If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question

    • If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question; and

    • If the data either in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

    Correct Answer
    A. If the data either in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question
    Explanation
    Statement I alone tells us that B has only one brother, but it does not provide any information about A's relationship to B. Statement II alone tells us that A has only one sister, but it also does not provide any information about A's relationship to B. Therefore, neither statement alone is sufficient to answer the question. To determine how A is related to B, we need additional information that is not provided in either statement I or statement II. Hence, the data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

    Instructions: Choose the correct number that replaces the question mark in the series- 2, 3, 8, 27, 112, ?

    • 226

    • 339

    • 452

    • 565

    Correct Answer
    A. 565
    Explanation
    The pattern in the series is that each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by a certain value and then adding a specific number. In this series, each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 3 and then subtracting 1. For example, 2 * 3 - 1 = 5, 5 * 3 - 1 = 14, 14 * 3 - 1 = 41, and so on. Applying this pattern to the last number in the series, 112 * 3 - 1 = 335. Therefore, the correct answer is 565.

    Instructions: Each of the question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments with their respective numbers as I & II. You need to judge which of the arguments is ‘strong’ argument while which one is ‘weak’ argument. Give your answer as    Statement: Should India give away Kashmir to Pakistan? Arguments: I - No, Kashmir is a beautiful state. It earns a lot of foreign exchange for India.                    II- Yes. This would help settle conflicts.

    • If only argument I is strong

    • If only argument II is strong

    • If either I or II is strong

    • Neither I nor II is strong

    Correct Answer
    A. If only argument I is strong
    Explanation
    Argument I is a strong argument because it highlights the economic benefits that India gains from Kashmir. Kashmir is a beautiful state that attracts a significant number of tourists, which in turn contributes to the foreign exchange earnings for India. Giving away Kashmir to Pakistan would mean losing out on this valuable source of revenue. On the other hand, argument II is a weak argument as it simply states that giving away Kashmir would help settle conflicts without providing any evidence or justification for this claim.

    Instructions: Read the following paragraph carefully answer the question based on the same. Corruption in India is has been a problem ever since the country had been having a multilayered administration by officers, ministers and other administrative chiefs. The corruption problem in ancient India, coupled with bribery, kept infesting the society more and more in an increasing rate. This is quite clear from the way the contemporary writers like Ksemendra and Kalhana have condemned the government officials, as well as other employees of different levels, in their celebrated works. Ksemendra in his Dasavataracaritam has advised the king to remove all the officials, ministers, generals and priests from office with immediate effect, who were either taking bribes themselves or have been indulging in corruption in some other way. Yet another work by Ksemendra, called Narmamala, depicts corruption bribery spreading fast like rampant maladies. He also found an answer to the much discussed question how to stop corruption in India of his time; he has explicitly addressed the contemporary intelligentsia to step forward and shoulder the responsibility of purging their folks. Kalhana too was merciless in his condemnation of the corrupt government officers in India of his own time. He damned the officials outright and asked the king to stay alert from their evil entente. Kalhana has also cited some examples of top incidents of corruption in India of his days. He said that Bijja became even richer than the kind as he sought to unfair means of getting money, while Ananda managed to achieve a high post in the office by bribing his higher officials.  Embezzlements in India was just the same problem in the yesteryears as they are now, mostly among the police and administrative officers. In fact, Kautilya has given a detailed list, referring to not less than forty ways of embezzlement that the treasury officers in his time were used to practice. The most common of them were pratibandha or obstruction, prayoga or loan, vyavahara or trading, avastara or fabrication of accounts, pariahapana or causing less revenue and thereby affecting the treasury, upabhoga or embezzling funds for self enjoyment, and apahara or defalcation. And he uses a nice metaphor too – just like one cannot resist tasting the drop of honey or poison on the tip of the tongue, a government servant can never resist devouring even a bit of the government revenue. Again, we cannot confirm if a fish under water is drinking water or not; similarly, ascertaining the bribery, corruption and embezzlement on the part of government officials and policemen were equally impossible.  And no wonder, this huge amount of embezzlement in different spheres of the administration and in varied degrees led to the piling up of a huge amount of black money in Indian market in the age of the Arthasastra; nevertheless, we would not enquire into that in detail and make this article unnecessarily long. In brief, that caused all the similar problems we find today, including sudden and unpredictable hikes in the prices of essential goods. It would have been quite interesting to address the issue under the present economic circumstances of the present day India, but the scope of this article would ask to better leave that out.   Which of the following is not correct on basis of the given passage?  I. There are incidents available from ancient India where bribe has been offered to get a highest position.  II. The problem and practices of corruption are easily traceable in modern era as compared to ancient times.  III. Embezzlements of more than 40 types are prevalent in today’s time.

    Instructions: The next three question is related to the reaction time experiments in a college. A table has been provided below on the scores given in three different sets on different times to students - According to the data given-

    • Set I & III are inversely proportiona

    • Set II & III are negatively related

    • (A) and (B) both are true

    • (A) and (B) both are wrong

    Correct Answer
    A. Set II & III are negatively related
    Explanation
    The given answer states that Set II and III are negatively related. This means that as the scores in Set II increase, the scores in Set III decrease, and vice versa. This can be inferred from the statement "negatively related," which indicates an inverse relationship between the two sets of scores. Therefore, the answer is correct.

    Instructions: Each of the question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments with their respective numbers as I & II. You need to judge which of the arguments is ‘strong’ argument while which one is ‘weak’ argument. Give your answer as    Statement: Should a total ban be put on tapping wild animals? Arguments: I – Yes. Trappers are making a lot of money.                    II – No. Bans on trapping and hunting are not effective.

    • If only argument I is strong

    • If only argument II is strong

    • If either I or II is strong

    • Neither I nor II is strong

    Correct Answer
    A. Neither I nor II is strong
    Explanation
    Neither argument I nor argument II is strong. Argument I suggests that a total ban should be put on tapping wild animals because trappers are making a lot of money. However, the financial gain of trappers is not a strong enough reason to impose a total ban on tapping wild animals. Argument II suggests that bans on trapping and hunting are not effective. However, this argument does not provide any supporting evidence or reasoning to justify its claim. Therefore, neither argument I nor argument II is strong.

    • Discussion about the black money

    • Corruption in the modern age

    • Administrative constraints in the system

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Discussion about the black money
    Explanation
    The paragraph discusses corruption in ancient India and provides examples of corruption and embezzlement in the past. It briefly mentions the accumulation of black money in the Indian market during that time. However, it states that the article will not go into detail about this topic to avoid making the article unnecessarily long. Therefore, a discussion about black money could have made the article lengthier.

    • If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question

    • If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question

    • If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question; and

    • If the data either in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

    Correct Answer
    A. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
    Explanation
    The correct answer is If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Statement II tells us that Rishabh's birthday is not on Friday. However, statement I only provides the range of dates and the day of the week for one of those dates. This information is not enough to determine the exact date of Rishabh's birthday. Therefore, statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while statement I alone is not.
