Directions (Q. 110): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the given questions. Certain words have
been given in bold to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
On attending a conference which focused on the role of
the service sector in Indian economy, I was amazed. The
conference gave a very interesting perspective on the role of
the service sector in the growth of the Indian economy in
relation to growth rate in agriculture and industry. The current
situation in India is that the growth rate of services has
overtaken both agriculture and industry and is now
contributing to more than fifty per cent of GDP. The services
sector has the highest growth rate and is the least volatile
sector. Growth is particularly marked in public services, IT
and financial services. In some areas the growth rate of
services sector is forty to fifty per cent due to increased use
of mobile technologies. India, therefore, has a servicesoriented economy. It hasnt followed traditional growth models
as in China. However, in the process of doing so it has skipped
the manufacturing stage and has jumped straight from the
agricultural stage to service stage, which is also the main
reason for the expansion of the service sector. In fact, the
situation now is such that the growth in the service sector can
and will support the growth in the agricultural and industrial
sectors. However, the only setback for Indian economy is the
lack of growth in the manufacturing sector, which causes
dependence on other countries, which is not so desirable in
terms of job creation and increase in prosperity. Population is
also a major concern of the Indian economy. As the population
of India grows so also does the number of dependents in the
population both in the lower and higher age groups. In such a
scenario of increasing population, especially in an economy
which is still recovering from crisis, growth becomes difficult.
For such an economy to grow it has to invest. Currently, the
public sector invests more than it saves. The household sector
saves in surplus but it is not increasing, so it cannot continue
to support private and public sectors. There is a massive need
to spend on agriculture and infrastructure development of the
country. Apart from health, education should also be the
priority of the government, particularly the education of women,
in order to reduce the birth rate.
However, all said and done, we cannot deny the fact that
growing population of the country can also benefit the

economy if considered as a resource and used efficiently. In
fact, it is said that in the next two decades a growth window
for India will open, which may not come again because the
working population to total population ratio will rise up to mid
2030s only. It is important for India to maximise its economic
growth in this period. For doing so, it will be important for
India to absorb the growing labour force. This would mean
that most people in the country would be employed (with a
steady income), the number of dependents in the population
would reduce and with effect the economy would prosper.
Absorbing the labour force is also very important if the service
sector is to play a key role in the growing Indian economy.
Today, to address the issue of poverty in India, there is a need
to change the bad sectors into good sectors and in turn to
move people from unemployment to employment. Only the
service sector can help in doing so and thus can have major
impact on poverty. Although service-intensive sectors such
as hotels, restaurants and IT are booming with growth in
human skills, there are geographical, labour unions and human
skills restrictions on labour movement. The key question here,
I suppose, is that can service sector lead the economy? For
example, can service such as IT be taken to rural areas? Experts
in the conference have suggested that it seems that services
could lead the economy. However, there are certain
prerequisites for the same. In other words, there needs to be
greater equality between the different states and better gender
balance. There is also the need for additional fiscal equality,
tax reforms to fund education, reduction in goverment debt,
and the revenue account must be kept in balance. Progress is
good but still the initial conditions for growth have not yet
been achieved.

the best hardware and software solutions. Critical thinking

or application ideas will involve more specialised, face-toface and interactive online approaches geared to the realtime needs and progress the student is making. Thus the
professor, with the students help, will vigilantly mix and
blend the learning ingredients to produce a new learning
environment. How this process plays out in reality will be
the result of educational entrepreneurship, but it will surely
entail both successes and some failures. The administration
and accreditation of education will also have to change. As
more education occurs outside the brick-and-mortar
framework and is more centred on the student-professor
interaction, the role of all non-teaching staff will need to be
reassessed. As students and faculty increase their use of
technology to personalise their formal and informal learning,
educational technologist must be on hand to facilitate the
effective use of that technology. Also the current hierarchical
and standardised outcome formulas for administration and
accreditation of colleges and universities are no longer
tenable. Realistically, they are an impediment to the change
needed.
Finally, we must address one of the most serious
challenges facing online education cheating. Simply put,
cheating is rampant and we are turning a blind eye to the
problem. Cheating threatens the integrity of the educational
process and the value-added of the degree. Solutions must
be found and implemented or all changes will be for naught.

Direction (Q. 11-20): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the given questions. Certain words/
phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
We should never confuse education with training or the
tools that educators use. Education is no more a computer
or an online class than it is chalkboard those are simply
tools. Additionally, precious few new and relevant findings
have been added to our insights into the learning process.
Much of what many proclaim to be insightful turns out to be
faddish and misguided. What we need for learning to occur
is well-prepared and motivated teachers, students who are
willing and able to learn and a social system that values
education attainment. Many might take exception to these
assertions, raining a host of ancillary social, economic,
nutritional and sociological issues. However, decades of data
from failed public experiments aimed at mitigating these
problems argue to the contrary.
What are we to do? Create a wave of educational
entrepreneurship? Despite all of the hype and media attention,
no one currently knows the best way forward. We must
incentivise educationalists, technologists and classroom
teachers to experiment and innovate. Such partnerships
should freely explore alternatives as we seek to define the
blended face-to-face and online classrooms of the future.
Some approaches will fail, but that is part of the change
process. There will be no one-size-fits-all experience; success
will vary by discipline and educational objectives. Unless
everyone involved in this process is inspired to take risks,
we will not enjoy the full potential these new approaches
represent. Also, we should not forget the extent to which
those who most benefit from the current system will attempt
to hijack this change process for their own purposes.
With these issues in mind, consider the following vision
of the change process to the classroom of tomorrow a
vision that leverages technology to create a more personalised
learning experience. With the onset of this vision, the
professor-student relationship will change. What is not likely
to survive is the large class in which everyone progresses at
the same pace. That paradigm will be replaced by a more
customised and collaborative learning process. The reality
of a technology-enabled personalised learning environment
is still evolving. What seems clear is that at its heart is a more
collaborate and student-mapped and paced process. The
function of the professor, aided by educationalist, will also
change. Student-professor collaboration will then determine
both what content can be assigned to practice methods and
how the student demonstrates mastery of that content. In
such cases, timing issues will most likely be left entirely in
the students hands while technology specialists recommend
mitigate adverse effects.

(B) Innovation amongst stakeholders of education and
technology should be encouraged.
(C) We should be alert about people who may not allow
certain changes for their own benefits.

Again, Some Ds are Gs (I) + All Gs are Ls (A) = I + A
= I = Some Ds are Ls. Hence, conclusion I follows.
158. 1; Some Ds are Gs (I) + All Gs are Ks (A) = I + A = I
= Some Ds are Ks conversion Some Ks are Ds.
Hence conclusion I follows.
Again, Some Ds are Ks (I) + All Ks are Ls (A) = I + A
= I = Some Ds are Ls. Hence conclusion II does not
follow.
159. 4; Some files are folders (I) + All folders are pockets (A)
= I + A = I = Some files are pockets. Hence conclusion
I does not follow.
Again, Some files are pockets (I) + No pocket is a bag
(E) = I + E = O = Some files are not bags. Hence
conclusion II does not follow.
160. 4; All folders are pockets (A) + No pocket is a bag (E)
= A +E = E = No folders are bags. Hence conclusion I
does not follow.
Again, from first statement conclusion II does not
follow.

B < D E ... (ii)
Combining both statements, we get A B < D E
Thus, we cant compare A and D. Hence conclusion I
(D > A) is not true.
Again, B = C < D E. Thus, C < E or E > C is true.
Hence, conclusion II is true.
173. 5; Given statements: L > U K ... (i)
Z < U < R ... (ii)
Combining both statements, we get L > U > Z
Thus, L > Z is true. Hence conclusion I is true.
Again, K U < R. Thus, K < R is true.
Hence conclusion II is true.
174. 1; Given statements:
Y< J= PR>I
Thus, J > I is true. Hence conclusion I is true.
Again, we cant compare Y and R. Hence, II is not
true.

Combining (i) and (iii), we get

We cant compare T and N.
Hence conclusion I (T < N) is not true.
Again, combining (i) and (ii)
VK>M>S
Thus, conclusion II (V = S) is not true.
Hence J is Nephew of K.
Only II is sufficient to answer the question.
177. 1; From I. G occupied even-numbered floor.
So, G stays either on floor 2 or on floor 4. But G does
not stay on the second floor.
So, G stays on the fourth floor. Thus, only I is sufficient
to answer the question.
From II. G stays either on 2nd or on 4th floor. Hence,
II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
178. 5; From I. According to Mohit, the possible days for
Raju to complete his assignment are 4 days, 5 days, 6
days, 7 days or 8 days.
From II. According to Meena, possible days for Raju
to complete his assignment are 8 days, 9 days or 10
days.
From I and II. 8 is common in both the statements.
Hence Raju completes his assignment in 8 days.
179. 3; From I
Similarly,
So,
Hence, I is sufficient to answer the question.

From II
176. 2; From I.
Hence, J is either Niece or Nephew of K.

Thus, I is not sufficient to answer the question because
gender of J is not given.

1) F = B > P M
Thus, F > P or P < F is true. Hence does not follow.
2) P > B M = F
This leads us to P > F is true. Hence P < F is false.
Hence 2) follows.
3) P B < F M
This leads us to P < F is true. Hence does not follow.
4) B < P M < F
This leads us to P < F is true. Hence does not follow.

From I and II. School D has more students than A
and C, but nothing has been said about B.
So, we cant determine the school with the highest
number of students among school A, B, C and D

Hence, S is cousin of P.
193. 5; If we put >, then, there is contradiction that S > M
means S is daughter of M but we have S is the
husband of R.
Again, if we put <, then also it contradicts the
statement.
Now, we put +. Then we get,
F is brother of M. Hence does not follow.

There is only one person C whose position remains

unchanged.
(A) is the standard procedure in such cases.
(B) is likely to draw students to schools. But (C) is a
negative action.
(A) follows because such a clause would act as a
deterrent to inferior standard of construction. (B) is
an obvious course of action. (C) does not follow
because it is tantamount to shying away from the
real problem.
Going for (A) or (B) is running away from
responsibility. (C) follows as this will help check
further cases of infection.
(B) is the course of action that should be taken.
(A) would put an end to the current round of
encroachment. (B) would act as a deterrent. (C) is the
ultimate preventive step.
Hence, M is either grandmother or grandfather of F.

1) M < R > P S
We cant compare M and P. Hence does not follow.
2) M S = P < F
This leads to M P. Hence does not follow.
3) Q < M < F = P
This leads to M < P. Hence, does not follow.
4) P = A < R < M
This leads to P < M is true. Hence follows.
