PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)
It is the duty of any responsible government to
provide lifeline water to its citizens. We may debate the
quantum, but can we argue against the principle? This is
what Arvind Kejriwal, the newly elected Chief Minister of
Delhi, tweeted immediately after announcing 666 litres of
free water per day (or 20 kilolitres of water a month) to

every household connected with a metre.

Is this move economically viable for the Delhi Jal Board
(DJB)? Is it necessary to provide free water supply to every
household? Since Delhi does not have any reliable
perennial water source, where will the water come from?
Water is increasingly becoming an economic goods
worldwide because of its storage and distribution costs.
Rainwater is harvested in dams and reservoirs to be
supplied for various purposes, including domestic use,
which involves huge cost. At the same time, groundwater
is exploited at an alarming rate; it also involves huge drilling
and electricity costs. The cost of management and
distribution of water for urban households is massive.
Why provide water free to all households when the
per capita income of this State is much higher than the
national average? Is it not against the ability-to-pay
principle? This free scheme is reportedly going to cost
about `160 crore per annum at current prices for the DJB
and is expected to increase manifold for a variety of reasons.
How is DJB to manage this cost?
According to one estimate, the DJBs net cash revenue
surplus increased from `40.56 crore in 2007-08 to `233.57
crore in 2013-14. DJBs dependence on the government for
operational costs reduced from `380 crore in 2009-10 to
zero in 2013-14, a remarkable achievement. The financial
condition of DJB will now run into a mess.
Delhi does not have the luxury of a perennial surface
source of water. It needs water from the neighbouring State
of Haryana which is guaranteed. Haryanas Chief Minister
Bhupendra Singh Hooda has already cautioned that Delhi
is getting more than its due share.
Besides, the groundwater stock is precarious in the
State. As per the estimate of Central Ground Water Board,
the total annual replenishable groundwater resource is only
0.30 BCM (billion cubic metres) for Delhi, but the draft of
groundwater is already 0.48 BCM/year, which is way above
the permissible limit. Owing to the increased scarcity of
water, the present supply of water even in posh areas is
only about 509 litres per household per day, below the
promise made by this new government.
191. Why has the author raised a question against free
water supply to every household in Delhi?
(A) Because every household in Delhi is capable of
paying water bill.
(B) Because it is sheer nonsense to manage water on
heavy cost and supply it for free.
(C) Because Delhi does not have any reliable
perennial source of water.
(D) Because Delhi Jal Board is already running in loss.
192. Find the incorrect statement on the basis of the given
passage.
(A) The newly elected Chief Minister of Delhi has
announced 20 kilolitres of water for free to every
household in Delhi.

(B) It is the duty of any responsible government to

is below the promise made by the new
government.

193. What arguments have been placed against providing
free water to all households in Delhi?
(A) The free water scheme will cost about 160 crore
rupees per year at current prices for the Delhi Jal
Board.
(B) The per capita income of Delhi is much higher
than the national average.
(C) It is against the ability to pay principle.
(D) All the above

context of the given passage?

revenue surplus increased fivefold in 2013-14.
(B) As per the given statistics, DJB does not have to
depend on the government for operational cost
as of now.
(C) The new scheme of free water supply will not
have much effect on the financial condition of
Delhi Jal Board.

enough to meet the water requirement of Delhi.

(D) little
PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)
It is a brutal management technique in which bosses
grade their employees performance along a vitality curve
and sack those who fall into the lowest category. Known
as ranking and yanking, it had its heyday in the 1980s
and 1990s. In America its popularity faded somewhat after
it was seen to have contributed to the fall of Enron. Now it
is back in the headlines.
All Things D, a tech-industry website, reported that
Yahoo staff are increasingly unhappy about a quarterly
performance review introduced last year by the new boss,
Marissa Mayer. The grading exercise is said to have cost
600 of them their jobs.
Microsoft announced that its own, equally unpopular,
system was being scrapped. In a memo, Lisa Brummel,
Microsofts head of human resources, said there would be
no more ratings and no more curve. The firm would
implement a fundamentally new approach designed to
encourage teamwork and collaboration.
Many firms, from Amazon to PwC, still use some
version of what management theorists also call stack
ranking to sort the sheep from the goats in their workforce.
However, many of them enforce it more flexibly than seems

to have been the case at Microsoft or Yahoo. Even General

Electric, which pioneered the technique during the
uncompromising reign of Neutron Jack Welch (GEs boss
from 1981 to 2001), has since softened its approach.
The reason such gradings have not died out entirely
is because employers still need to find ways to fairly
evaluate their employees and have a basis for
compensation differences. This is especially true when
there is a wide gap between the remuneration of top
performers and the rest. To avoid lawsuits claiming unfair
discrimination, firms need to be able to show they have a
clear basis for decisions on pay and bonuses.
Ranking and yanking is more logical in investment
banks, law and accountancy firms and big consultancies:
their business model is, in a sense, built on recruiting large
numbers of junior staff and motivating them with the
prospect of becoming a partner, even though in practice
only a few of them can ever make it. In other types of
business, the evidence suggests that it may work at first, if
a firm needs to cut away dead wood. But the benefit can
disappear and turn into a cost if the ranking and yanking is
done repeatedly.
196. What is the meaning of the phrase ranking and
yanking as used in the given passage?
(A) It is a technique in which employees are
downgraded and are given less remuneration.
(B) It is a management technique in which the
performance of the employees is measured. They
are ranked for their good performance and pulled
down to the lowest category if they do not live
up to the expectation of their firms.
(C) It is a grading system in which employers seek to
find out the fair basis for compensating the loss
of their employees.
(D) None of these
197. Why does Lisa Brummel discourange the rating
system?
(A) Because it discourages the sense of obedience
and dedication towards their work among the
employees.
(B) Because it creates a sense of jealousy among the
employees towards those who are ranked and
given high remuneration.
(C) Because it discourages teamwork and
collaborative effort among the employees.
(D) All the above
198. Which of the following is not true according to the
passage?
(A) The reason why grading systems have not been
scrapped so far is because till date they serve as
a yardstick to appraise their employees and have
a basis for compensation differences.
(B) Rating system can never in any way discourage

K
KUNDAN

teamwork and collaboration.

(C) The benefit can disappear if the ranking and
yanking is done repeatedly.
(D) Stack ranking is the process of selecting the better
from a group of many.
199. As per the reports of All Things D, a tech-industry
website, what was the reason of unhappiness of Yahoo
Staff?
(A) A new annual performance appraisal system
introduced by the new boss last year
(B) Meagre salary paid to them

(C) The new system introduced by Marissa Mayer

will cut a certain percentage of incentive paid to
them.
(D) As a result of the grading exercise, six hundred
staff had to lose their job and the same may
happen with them also.
200. What is the meaning of the word scrapped as used
in the passage?
(A) practised
