(B) to regulate activities, traffic has to be controlled
(C) to regulate traffic, buildings have to be taken

(D) to understand the traffic problem we must

164. By this line of reasoning, the author means
(A) idea contained in this line
(B) idea contained in any one line of his argument.
(C) the manner of arguing
(D) this row of printed characters
Passage -II
Governments throughout the world act on the assumption that the welfare of their people depends largely
on the economic strength and wealth of the community.
Under modern conditions, this requires varying measures
of centralized control and the help of specialized scientists
such as economists and operational research experts. Furthermore, it is obvious that the strength of a countrys
economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry, and that this in turn rests upon the
efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds. It also
means that governments are increasingly compelled to interfere in these sectors in order to step up production and
ensure that it is utilized to the best advantage.
165. According to the author, the function of the
government of a country is to
(A) ensure the progress of science in all directions.
(B) encourage mainly agricultural production.
(C) redistribute the wealth of the community.
(D) promote economic growth and proper utilization
of resources.
166. Government needs the help of
(A) scientists engaged in theoretical research only.
(B) scientists who belong to different disciplines.
(C) social scientists only.
(D) scientists with a wide general knowledge.
167. The author states that a countrys economy is
(A) strengthened by the contribution of science to
agriculture and industry.
(B) entirely dependent on its agriculture.
(C) chiefly based on the efficiency of its industry.
(D) closely related to the industry of its people.

Passage -I
Vehicles do not move about the roads for
mysterious reasons of their own. They move only because
people want them to move in connection with the activities
which the people are engaged in. Traffic is therefore a
function of activities, and because, in towns, activities
mainly take place in buildings, traffic in towns is a function
of buildings.The implications of this line of reasoning are
inescapable.
161. Line 1 of the passage means that vehicles do not
move on the roads
(A) for reasons difficult to understand
(B) to serve specific purposes of people
(C) in a haphazard fashion
(D) in ways beyond our control
162. The author says that traffic is a function of activities.
He means that
(A) human activities are taking place
(B) human activities are dependent on traffic.
