PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)
The coal situation in India reminds me of the famous
line, "Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink!"
India, with estimated coal reserves of 280 billion tonnes, is
said to be the fifth largest in terms of reserves. Of this, 110
billion tonnes are "proven" reserves. At our current rate of
production, just the proven reserves are enough to carry
on for more than 100 years. But even then, our coal
production falls short of actual requirements and India
needs to import coal. So, we have 280 billion tonnes of coal
reserves, but inadequate availability!
With demand for electricity greater than supply, the
Indian economy is on the verge of a power crisis. A principal
reason for this is inadequate availability of coal. Coal, as a
fuel, accounts for almost 59% of India's total power
generation (132 GW of a total 226 GW of electricity output
is from coal). Coal is also an input for a large number of
other industries, like iron and steel, cement, fertiliser and
so on.
In 2012-13, total domestic demand for coal was 773
million tonnes while production was 569 million tonnes.
The deficit was largely met by imports and almost $16 billion
worth of coal was imported from Indonesia, Australia and
South Africa. This has been happening every year and
such imports are aggravating the current account deficit,
one of the reasons why the rupee has been depreciating
against the dollar.
Coal is primarily mined and controlled by Coal India
(CIL), but the current level of mechanisation at the public
sector behemoth is inadequate, compromising the

productivity and efficiency levels and resulting in shortage

of coal. Thus, the scarcity is absolutely artificial. It is
difficult to take a call on which route for assigning coal
blocks is better: allotment or auction. The government of
India had allotted coal blocks on a project-specific basis,
but little support was extended to them in terms of enabling
them to start mining.
Not being able to start mining effectively leads to
cancellation of allotment. On the other hand, it has been
argued that coal being a finite, nonrenewable natural
resource, auction is a better option. But auction of a key
raw material like coal is bound to have an inflationary impact
across the board, be it agriculture, industry or service
sectors. So, allocation of coal blocks must be dealt with in
an intelligent manner, keeping in mind the interest of the
general public.
191. Why does the author say, Water, water everywhere
but not a drop to drink!?
(A) To express his anguish over non-availability of
pure water
(B) To express his concern over underproduction of
coal
(C) To express that India has a vast reserve of poor
quality of coal
(D) None of these
192. Which of the following statements is not true is the

(C) Indian economy is on the verge of power crisis
due to inadequate supply of electricity.
(D) Coal is an output of a large number of industries
like cement, iron and steel, fertiliser and so on.
193. Which of the following is one of the reasons of Indias
current account deficit? Give your answer in the
context of the given passage.
(A) Indias export is more than its import.
(B) India has to pay a huge amount for import of coal.
(C) Export of gold jewellery
(D) Corruption and inflation
194. What is the antonym of the word aggravating as

PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)
Each time the RBI Governor takes the stage to give us
the latest bad news on the economy and interest rates, the
air becomes thick with avian metaphors. When a journalist
said, The policy action is hawkish but the guidance is
dovish. So is not the guidance anti-inflationary?, he drolly

K
KUNDAN

replied: We are neither hawks nor doves but actually owls.

If figuring out this exchange is giving you a mild
headache, may be youd like to know more about how
central bankers came to acquire feathered friends.
Policymakers are tagged as hawks or doves depending
on how aggressive they are in dealing with the challenges
they face. Like the predatory hawk which swoops down
on its unsuspecting prey, hawkish policymakers like to go
on the offensive to tackle a problem. They favour the Wild
West approach shoot and then ask questions.
Dovish policymakers, on the other hand, are more
peace-loving and prefer coaxing the enemy into
submission. This terminology which originated in the
military has now found its way into the world of money
and finance.
Coming to monetary policy, inflation hawks
aggressively pursue the goal of keeping inflation in check
by ruthlessly subduing it with high interest rates (more on
this later).
The doves, on the other hand, have a more benign
view on inflation. They argue that if you keep rates low,
companies will borrow more, put up more manufacturing
units, produce more goods and services. Thus, supply will
eventually catch up with demand, reducing inflation.
Its these birds that call the shots when it comes to the
big macroeconomic decisions that affect a country and its
people. Lets take the case of the RBI.
Suppose the RBI is hawkish believes that inflation
is a worry. What does it do? It promptly increases the repo
rate, the rate at which banks borrow money from the RBI.
Banks in turn try recovering this increase in cost from their
customers in the form of higher loan rates. This works
towards reducing peoples spending people take fewer
loans and buy fewer homes, cars and other things. As
consumption falls, it helps soothe prices. Remember the
textbook definition of inflation: too much money chasing
too few goods. So, if you cant produce more goods quickly,
the next best thing to do is to make people buy fewer goods.
196. How do the dovish policymakers behave with their
enemies?
(A) Like the predatory hawks, dovish policymakers
swoop down on their prey.
(B) They prefer to persuade their enemies into

submission.
(C) They prefer to kill their enemies than to force them
to surrender.
(D) They prefer to transform their enemies into their
friends.
197. What do the economic terms hawks or doves signify?
(A) Hawks are predatory birds while doves are peaceloving birds.
(B) Hawks signify agility while doves signify
dullness.
(C) Hawks symbolise cruelty while doves symbolise
gentleness.
(D) Hawks or doves signify the aggressiveness of
the policymakers in dealing with the challenges
they face.
198. What do the hawkish policymakers do?
(A) They try aggressively to keep inflation under
control.
(B) They do not take inflation so seriously.
(C) They argue that low interest helps borrowers, who
ultimately produce more goods and eventually
catch up with demands and thus inflation is
contained.
(D) All the above
199. Which of the following is not true in the context of the
given passage?
(A) To contain inflation, RBI increases the repo rate.
(B) The repo rate is the rate at which RBI lends money
to banks.
(C) To compensate the interest burden caused due
to increase in repo rate, banks charge higher rate
of interest from loan borrowers.
(D) None of these
200. What is the meaning of the word benign as used in
