PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)

According to Seymour M Hersh, Barack Obama did

not tell the whole story when he tried to make the case that

Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the chemical weapons

attack near Damascus on 21 August. He omitted important

intelligence, presented some assumptions as fact and failed

to acknowledge that the Syrian army is not the only part in

the countrys civil war with access to sarin. In the months

before the attack, the American intelligence agencies

produced a series of highly classified reports citing

evidence that the al-Nusra Front, a jehadi group affiliated

with al-Qaeda, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin

and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity. When

the attack occurred al-Nusra should have been a suspect,

but the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify

a strike against Assad, writes Hersh. One high-level

intelligence officer wrote in an email that the attack wasnot the result of the current regime. When Obama decided

to walk away from his red-line threat to bomb Syria, it

appears possible that at some point he was directly

confronted with contradictory information: evidence strong

enough to persuade him to cancel his attack plan. Hersh

ends by saying that the irony of the situation is that while

the Syrian regime continues the process of eliminating its

chemical arsenal, al-Nusra and its Islamist allies could

end up as the only faction inside Syria with access to the

ingredients that can create sarin.

191. Which of the following statements is based on the

facts mentioned in the given passage?

(A) Barack Obama elaborated the whole story whiletrying to accuse Bashar al-Assad for chemical

attack on Damascus.

(B) The onus for the use of chemical weapons near

Damascus lies on al-Qaeda.

(C) Bashar al-Assad successfully averted the effort

of chemical attack on Syria.

(D) According to Barack Obama, none other than

Bashar al-Assad is responsible for the 21 August

chemical attack on Damascus.

192. Which of the following is not true on the basis of the

given passage?

(A) Prior to the attack, the American intelligence

agencies had produced evidence aboutinvolvement of al-Nusra front in making chemical

weapons.

(B) The al-Nusra front is a jehadi group affiliated with

al-Qaeda.

(C) The al-Qaeda had mastered the mechanics of

creating sarin in huge quantity.

PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)

Worthless currency is not necessarily useless. It canbe a pointed way of shaming someone who asks for a

bribe. That is the thinking behind zero-rupee notes, an

Indian anti-corruption gimmick now attracting worldwide

interest. They look roughly like 50-rupee notes; people are

encouraged to hand them to corrupt officials, signalling

resistance to sleaze.

Vijay Anand, founder of the 5th Pillar, an anti-bribery

campaign that launched the notes, calls them a non-violent

weapon of non co-operation. His group has distributed

more than 2.5m zero-rupee notes since 2007. The idea is

catching on. Campaigners from Argentina, Nepal, Mexico

and Benin have been in touch asking for details. Malaysia

is mulling a similar project. And a worthless note will belaunched in Yemen next year.

Yemen is usually reckoned to be one of the worlds

most corrupt countries. But Mariam Adnan, an activist

there, says a new generation may be amenable to change.

Her group is handing out 5000 honest riyals in schools

and universities. You have to change minds before you

can change laws, she says.

Such campaigns might be risky in countries where

bribes are extorted at gunpoint. But in places where public

opinion is already shifting, they could be a useful way of

making bureaucrats behave better. Shaazka Beyerle, an

expert on civil resistance campaigns, says that using zero-

rupee note offers protection. It shows a persons affiliationwith a larger movement which cannot be brushed aside by

one angry official.

196. What is the central idea of the given passage?

(A) It is essential to issue fake currency as a way of

shaming the corrupt official who asks for a bribe.

(B) The zero-rupee note stands as a non-violent

weapon of non-cooperation.

(C) The resistance campaigns can be successful

where bribes are extorted at gunpoint.

(D) It is worthless to think about the success of fake

currency as a means to fight against corruption.

197. Which of the following is true about the 5th Pillar

campaign?

(A) It is anti-bribery campaign.

(B) Under the 5th Pillar campaign more than two-and-

a-half million fake currency notes have been

distributed so far.

(C) Under the said campaign zero-rupee notes have

been launched as non-violent weapons of non-

cooperation.(D) All the above

198. What is the intention behind launching zero-rupee

notes?

(A) To use them as a tool to fight against inflation

(B) To hand them to children to make fun

(C) To cheat innocent people and destablise Indias

economy

(D) To shame someone who asks for a bribe

199. What has been the impact of the anti-bribery campaign

launched by Vijay Anand?

(i) The idea of the anti-bribery campaign is catching

on and the campaigners from a few foreign

countries are asking for details.(ii) Malaysia has outright rejected the concept of

using fake currency as a means of fighting against

corruption.

(iii) Yemen is going to launch worthless notes in line

with 5th Pillar of India.

(A) Only (i) and (ii) (B) Only (ii) and (iii)

(C) Only (i) and (iii) (D) All (i), (ii) and (iii)

200. What is the nearest meaning of the word mulling as

Let C' be the centre of circle whose equationis x2+ y2 2x 6y + 6 = 0

C' = (1, 3) (Comparing it to general equation

of the circle)

Now, the equat ion of the circle with centre

at (2, 1) is

(x 2)2+ (y 1)2 = r2

or, x2 4x + 4 + y2 2y + 1 r2 = 0

or, x2+ y2 4x 2y + 5 r2= 0

Comparing the two equations, we get

2x 6y + 6 = 4x 2y + 5 r2

or, 2x 4y + 1 + r2= 0

Now putting x = 1 and y = 3, we get

r2= 9

Co-ordinates of the centre are (g, f)

ie (4, 2)

Radius of the circle = cfg 22

According to the question.

After every 10 days 5 men are removed from

Then, 15 mens work in 10 days = 15 10

So, remaining work = 300 150 = 150 units

Again, 10 men work in 10 days 10 10
