Test-II: English Language

Directions (Q. 41-50) : Read the following passage to answer the given questions bused on it. Some
words/phrases are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the
questions.

Political ploys initially hailed as master-strokes often end up as flops. The Rs. 60,000 crore farm loan
waiver announced in the budget writes off 100% of overdues of small and marginal farmers holding
upto two hectares, and 25% of overdues of larger farmers. While India has enjoyed 8%-9% GDP
growth for the past few years, the boom has bypassed many rural areas and farmer distress and
suicides have made newspaper headlines. Various attempts to provide relief (employment guarantee
scheme, public distribution system) have made little impact, thanks to huge leakages from the
governments lousy delivery systems. So, many economists think the loan waiver is a worthwhile
alternative to provide relief.
However the poorest rural folk are landless labourers who get neither farm loans nor waivers. Half of
the small and marginal farmers get no loans from banks, and depend entirely on moneylenders, and
will not benefit. Besides, rural India is full of the family holdings rather than individual holdings
and family holdings will typically be much larger than two hectares even for dirt-poor farmers, who
will, therefore, be denied the 100% waiver. It will thus fail in both economic and political objectives.
IRDP loans to the rural poor in the 1980s demonstrated that crooked bank officials demand bribes
amounting to one third the intended benefits. Very few of the intended beneficiaries who merited
relief received it. After the last farm loan waiver will similarly slow down fresh loans to deserving
farmers. While overdues to co-operatives may be higher, economist Snrjit Bhalla says less than 5%
of farmer loans to banks are overdue ie overdues exist for only 2.25 million out of 90 million
farmers. If so, then the 95% who have repaid loans will not benefit. They will be angry at being
penalised for honesty.
The budget thus grossly overestimates the number of beneficiaries. It also underestimates the negative
effects of the waiver encouraging wilful default in the future and discouraging fresh bank lending
for some years. Instead of trying to reach the needy, through a plethora of leaky schemes we should
transfer cash directly to the needy using new technology like biometric smart cards, which are now
being used in many countries, and mobile phones bank accounts. Then benefits can go directly to
phone accounts operable only by those with biometric cards, ending the massive leakages of current
schemes.
The political benefits of the loan waiver have also been exaggerated since if only a small fraction of
farm families benefit, and many of these have to pay bribes to get the actual benefit, will the waiver
really be a massive vote-winner? Members of joint families will feel aggrieved that, despite having
less than one hectare per head , their family holding is too large to qualify for the 100% waiver. All
finance ministers, of central or state governments, give away freebies in their last budgets, hoping
to win electoral regards. Yet, four-fifth of all incumbent governments are voted out. This shows
that beneficiaries of favours are not notably grateful , while those not so favoured may feel aggrieved,
and vote for the opposition. That seems to be why election budgets constantly fail to win elections
in India and the loan waiver will not change that pattern.
41. Why do economists feel that loan waivers will benefit farmers in distress?
1)It will improve the standard of living of those farmers who can afford to repay their loans but are
exempted.
2)Other government relief measures have proved ineffective,
3)Suicide rates of farmers have declined after the announcement of the waiver.
4)Farmers will be motivated to increase the size of their family holdings not individual holdings.
5)The government will be forced to reexamine and improve the public distribution system.
42. What message will the loan waiver send to farmers who have repaid loans?
1)The Government will readily provide them with loans in the future.
2)As opposed to money lenders banks are a safer and more reliable source of credit.
3)Honesty is the best policy.
4)It is beneficial to take loans from co-operatives since their rates of interest are lower.
5)They will be angry at being penalised for honesty.
43. What is the authors suggestion to provide aid to farmers?
1)Families should split their joint holding to take advantage of the loan waiver.

2)The government should increase the reach of the employment guarantee scheme.
3)Loans should be disbursed directly into bank accounts of the farmers using the latest technology.
4)Government should ensure that loans waivers can be implemented over the number of years.
5)Rural infrastructure can be improved using schemes which were successful abroad.
44. What are the terms of the loan waiver?
(A) One-fourth of the overdue loans of landless labourers will be written off.
(B) The Rs. 60,000 crore loan waiver has been sanctioned for 2.25 million marginal farmers.
(C) Any farmer with between 26 per cent to 100 per cent of their loan repayments overdue will be

2) Only (B)
3) Both (B) and (C)

5) None of these

7.5;5th to the right of the 19th element from the right end means (19 5 =) 14th from the light end,
ie, Q.
8.1;We have to look for consonant-number-symbol conbination. There is only one such
combination, which is y 5 .
9.3;There are 29 elements in all in the given arrangement. If the positions of the last 18 elements are
reversed, then the positions of the first 11 elements from the left end would be not changed, Now,
17 11 = 6, ie required answer would be the 6th element from the right in original sequence.
6th from the right end = W
10.3;We have to look for vowel-symbol and symbol-vowel conbinations. Such conbinations are $
E and I.
(11-15):On the basis of the information given in the question, we can have the following seating
arrangement:

11.4;F is second to the left of B.

H is second to the left of D.
C is fourth to the left or right of B.
12. 5;H is fourth to the right or left of G.
13. 2;H is second to the right of E.

14. 1;D is to the immediate right of F.

15. 3;G and E are immediate neigh bours of A.
l6. 3;R > J.. (i); J M... (ii) M = K ... (iii)
Combining (ii) and (iii), we get J M = K J K.
Conclusions I and II together are exhaustive. Hence, either I or II is true.
17. 5;D R... (i); M > R...(ii); M = F... (iii)
Combining all, we get, D R < M = F D < F F > D.
Hence conclusion I is true. Again, from (ii) and (iii), we get R < M = F R < F F > R. Therefore
conclusion II is also true.
18. 1;H = F ... (i); F > R ... (ii); R < K ... (iii)
From (i) and (ii), H = F > R R < H. Hence conclusion I is true. Again, form (ii) and (iii), F > R
< K No relationship between K and F can be determined. Therefore conclusion II is not true.
19. 2;B D... (i); D < T ... (ii); T R... (iii)
From (i) and (ii), B D < T No relationship between B and T can be determined. Therefore
conclusion I is not true.
From (ii) and (iii), D < T R D < R R > D. Hence conclusion II is true.
20. 4;M N... (i); N < A... (ii); A > B ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), N < A > B No relationship between N and B can be determined. Hence
conclusion I is not true. Again, from (i) and (ii), M N < A. No relationship between M and A
can be determined. Therefore conclusion II is also not true.
21. 3;From statement I:

Village P is towards West of village R.

From statement II:

Village P is towards west of village R.

22. 5;From both the statements:
B> E> D> C>A
23. 4; From both the statements answer cannot be determined with certainty.
24. 2;From statement I: Rs position from the left end cannot be determined, since Qs position with
respect to R is not given.
From statement II: Left 3 R 16 T 9 Right
Total number of students = 30

Therefore, R is fourth from the left end.

25. 5;From statement I: go over there pa da na
From statement II: go and sit sa ka pa
From both the statements:
go pa

2;Fs favourite city is Pune.

36. 2;Some gears are wheels + All wheels are brakes = I + A = I = Some gears are brakes At least
some gears are brakes. Therefore conclusion II follows.
37. 4;Both the given statements are of E-type (Universal Negative). No conclusion follows from the
two negative statemetns.
38. 3;No plane is hill + Some hills are towns = E + I = O* = Some towns are not planes. Hence, neither
of the two conclusions follows. But both the given conclusions form I-E type of complementary
pair. Hence either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
39. 5;All metals are liquids + All liquids are gases = A + A = A = All metals are gases. Hence conclusion
I follows. Again, All liquids are gases (A) conversion Some gases are liquids (I) At least
some gases are liquids. Therefore, conclusion II follows.

40. 3Both the given statements are particular affirmative, ie I-type. No conclusion follows from the two
particular statements. Both the conclusions form I-E type of complementary pair. Therefore, either
conclusion I or II follows.
