Sheet.
PASSAGE -1
Strategy as a term was coined in Ath-
ens around 508-7 B.C., where ten strategoi com-
prised the Athenian war council and controlled
both political and military power. Etymologically,
the term is associated with 'general,' 'to lead' and
'army.' So, in the original sense, 'strategy' is 'the
art of leading the army.' A commander is expected
to be ingenious, energetic, careful, full of stamina
and have presence of mind, loving and tough, gen-
erous and greedy, trusting and suspicious. An
aspiring general should know the business which
he proposes to carry out; he is expected not only
to plan for battle, but also lead the troops into battle
himself.
Parallel developments in Asia included Sun
Tzus Art of War, dated to around 5th century BC
which emphasised meticulous planning, the ideal
of vanquishing the enemy indirectly without the
need to fight. The qualities of effective generals
also include giving advice on managing the troops,
and general principles and tactics of engaging with
the enemy.
While strategy has originated in the military
sphere, since the 1960s it has also risen to
prominence in the business world. Top executives
of multidivisional corporations such as Chester
Barbard of AT & T and Alfred Sloan of General
Motors were among the first to draw attention to
the need for strategy within a business context.
Peter Drucker argued for an active approach to
management which entailed planning and actions
intended to shape a firms environment as opposed
to simply reacting passively to it. The Sociologist
Philip Selznic proposed the notion of an
organizations 'distinctive competence' which
became a central concept based on the resources
of a firm.

PASSAGE-2
Crude mineral oil comes out of the earth
as a thick brown or black liquid with a strong
smell. It is a complex mixture of many different
substances, each with its own individual
qualities. Most of them are combinations of
hydrogen and carbon in varying proportions. Such
hydrocarbons are also found in other form; 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 sea-bed and ocean currents cover them
with a blanket of sand and silt. As this material
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
produces heat, which transforms the tiny
carcasses into crude oil in a process that is still
going on today.
136. Marine deposits under the sea do not get
decomposed because they:
(A) become rock and prevent oxygen from
entering them
(B) are covered by the sand and silt brought
by the current
(C) contain a mixture of hydrogen and
carbon
(D) are constantly washed by the ocean
current
137. Sedimentary rock leads to the formation of
oil deposits because :
(A) it becomes hard and turns into rocks
which produce oil
(B) its pressure produces heat and turns
the deposits of animal carcasses and
plants into oil
(C) it turns heavy and shuts out the oxygen
(D) it becomes heavy and hard, and applies
pressure to squeeze oil
138. In order to have mineral oil, hydrogen and
carbon are combined in :
(A) equal proportions
(B) fixed proportions
(C) varying proportions
(D) the proportion of two and one

To avoid the various foolish opinions to
which mankind is prone, no superhuman brain
is required. A few simple rules will keep you free,
not from all errors, but from silly errors. If the
matter is one that can be settled by observation,
make the observation yourself. Aristotle could
have avoided the mistake of thinking that women
have fewer teeth than man, by the simple device
of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open
while he counted. Thinking that you know, when
in fact you do not, is a bad mistake, to which we

PASSAGE-5
If life exists on Mars, it is most likely to be in
the form of bacteria buried deep in the planets
permafrost or lichens growing within rocks, say
scientists from NASA. There might even be
fossilised Martian algae locked up in ancient lake
beds, waiting to be found.
Christopher Mckay of NASA s Ames
Research Centre in California told the AAAS that
exobiologists, who look for life on other planets,
should look for clues among the life forms of the
Earths ultra-cold regions, where conditions are
similar to those on Mars.
Lichens, for example, are found within some
Antarctic rocks, just beneath the surface where
sunlight can still reach them. The rock protects
the lichen from cold and absorbs water, providing
enough for the lichens needs, said Mckay.
Bacteria have also been found in 3-million-
year-old permafrost dug up from Siberia. If there
are any bacteria alive on Mars today, they would
have had to have survived from the time before
the planet cooled more than 3 billion years ago.
Nevertheless, McKay is optimistic: It may be
possible that bacteria frozen in to the permafrost
at the Martian South Pole, may be viable.
McKay said algae are found in Antarctic
lakes with permanently frozen surfaces. Although
no lakes are thought to exist on Mars, they might
have existed long ago. If so, the dried-out Martian
lake beds may contain the fossilised remains of
algae. On Earth, masses of microscopic algae form
large, layered structures known as stromatolites,
which survive as fossils on lake beds, said Jack
Farmer, one of McKays colleagues.
The researchers are compiling a list of
promising Martian lake beds to be photographed
from spacecraft, said Farmer. Those photographs
could help to select sites for landers that would
search for signs of life, past or present. If we find
algae on Mars, I would say the Universe is lousy
with algae, McKay said, intelligence would be
another question.
146. The passage is primarily concerned with :
(A) the possibility of life on Mars
(B) selecting sites for landers on Mars
(C) research on Mars
(D) findings of Christopher McKay
147. Lichens survive in the extreme col d
conditions of Antarctica on earth for all the
following reasons, except:
(A) some Antarctic rocks protect lichens

(B) bacteria in the Antarctic frost protect

(C) sunlight penetrates the surface of the
Antarctic rock where lichen grows
(D) the Antarctic rocks protect the lichen
from cold by absorbing water and leaving
enough for the lichens needs

true?
(A) If any bacteria are alive today on Mars,
they must have survived from the time
before the planet cooled
(B) Space photographs of Martian craters

Once upon an unfortunate time, there was a
hairy thing called 'man'. Along with him was a
hairier thing called 'animal'. Man had a larger
brain which made him think he was superior to
animals. Some men thought they were superior
to others. They became leader men. Leader men
said 'We have no need to work; we will kill animals
to eat.' So they did. Man increased and animals
decreased. Eventually leader men said, 'There
are not enough animals left to eat. We must grow
our own food.' So man grew food. Everywhere man
killed all wild life. Soon there was none and all
the birds were poisoned. Leader men said, 'At last
we are free of pests.'
Men's numbers increased. The world became
crowded with men. They all had to sleep standing
up. One day the leader man saw some new
creatures eating his crops. The creature's name
was 'the starving people!'. "These creatures are
a menace!', said the leader man.

PASSAGE-7
In many ways, caste is about numbers. The
political consensus we have for creating OBC
quotas in Central educational institutions is
largely because parties are aware of the electoral
clout of the other backward classes. In 1980, the
Mandal commission assumed that the OBC
component in the population was 52 per cent. The
National Sample Survey Organisation estimates
that OBCs form only 33 per cent of the population.
The National Family Health Survey concludes
that the figure is only 29 per cent. The Supreme
Courts directive to the Centre to explain the
rationale for OBC quotas will further complicate
the matter. In the absence of reliable data, the
Centre will be hardpressed to explain how it has
arrived at the figure, 27 per cent, for OBC
reservations. The last caste census was way back
in 1931. Independent India decided to do away
with caste enumeration on the premise that it
would divide the country. It is time to question
this premise. Caste is a reality and a crucial
factor in influencing public policy. It is best to
have empirical data which reflect reality and
formulate policies accordingly. A caste census
should go beyond mere enumeration of people and
generate a social and economic profile of various
castes. This would help the government to
rationalise the OBC list. A caste census is a
necessary evil.
What is lost in the quota debate is the
impact of technology and economics on social
relations and how these are changing.
Occupation was the defining category that
determined hierarchies in Manus varnashrama.
Manu assumed that economic and social orders
complemented each other. It is true of the
modern world as well. As economic relations
change, new castes are being constituted. Old
castes and social prejudices associated with
them disappear. The Hl-B visa created the caste
of US green card holder; the BPO boom is
spawning a new caste of yuppies in call centres.
They have created new geographies, time
zones, and aspirations. Old social orders break
down as market forces offer avenues of wealth
generation. Economic emancipation subverts
existing caste hierarchies. In a knowledge
economy, proficiency in English is the key to
upward mobility. Our education system should
be revamped to equip students with English
language skills. Let students learn the language
