Directions (Q. 1-5): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words/ phrases are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the
questions. The outside world has pat answers concerning extremely impoverished countries,
especially those in Africa. Everything comes back, again and again, to corruption and misrule.
Western officials argue that Africa simply needs to behave itself better, to allow market forces to
operate without interference by corrupt rulers. Yet the critics of African governance have it wrong.
Politics simply cant explain Africas prolonged economic crisis. The claim that Africas corruption
is the basic source of the problem does not withstand serious scrutiny. During the past decade I
witnessed how relatively well-governed countries in Africa, such as Ghana, Malawi, Mali and
Senegal, failed to prosper, whereas societies in Asia perceived to have extensive corruption, such
as Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan, enjoyed rapid economic growth. What is the explanation?
Every situation of extreme poverty around the world contains some of its own unique causes,
which need to be diagnosed as a doctor would in a patient. For example, Africa is burdened with
malaria like no other part of the world, simply because it is unlucky in providing the perfect
conditions for that disease: high temperatures, plenty of breeding sites and particular species of
malaria-transmitting mosquitoes that prefer to bite humans rather than cattle. Another myth is
that the developed world already gives plenty of aid to the worlds poor. Former US Secretary of
the Treasury, Paul ONeil, expressed a common frustration when he remarked about aid for Africa:
Weve spent trillions of dollars on these problems and we have damned near nothing to show for
it. ONeil was no foe of foreign aid. Indeed, he wanted to fix the system so that more US aid could
be justified. But he was wrong to believe that vast flows of aid to Africa had been squandered.
President Bush said in a press conference in April 2004 that as the greatest power on the face of
the earth, we have an obligation to help the spread of freedom. We have an obligation to feed the
hungry. Yet how does the US fulfillers obligation? US aid to farmers in poor countries to help
them grow more food runs at around $200 million per year, far less than $1 per person per year
for the hundreds of millions of people living in subsistence farm households. From the world as a
whole, the amount of aid per African per year is really very small, just $30 per sub-Saharan African
in 2002. Of that modest amount, almost $5 was actually for consultants from the donor countries,
more than $3 was for emergency aid, about $4 went for servicing Africas debts and $5 was for
debt-relief operations. The rest, about $12, went to Africa. Since the money down the drain
argument is heard most frequently in the US, its worth looking at the same calculations for US aid
alone. In 2002, the US gave $3 per sub-Saharan African. Taking out the parts for U.S. consultants
and
technical cooperation, food and other emergency aid, administrative costs and debt relief, the aid
per African came to grand total of 6 cents. The US has promised repeatedly over the decades, as a
signatory to global agreements like the Monterrey Consensus of 2002, to give a much larger
proportion of its annual output, specifically up to 0.7% of GNP, to official development assistance.
The USs failure to follow through has no political fallout domestically, of course, because not one
in a million US citizens even knows of statements like the Monterrey Consensus. But no one
should underestimate the salience that it has around the world. Spin as American might about
their nations generosity, the poor countries are fully aware of what the US is not doing.

Directions (Q. 11-25): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Civilisation, so far, has not succeeded, in creating an environment suitable to mental and moral
activities of mankind. The low intellectual and spiritual value of most human beings is largely due
to deficiencies of their psychological atmosphere. The supremacy of matter and the dogmas of
industrial religion have destroyed culture, beauty and morals. The immense spread of
newspapers, cheap literature, radios and cinemas has contributed only to the degeneration of
culture. Unintelligence is becoming more and more general, in spite of the course given in schools,
colleges and universities. School children and students form their minds on the silly programmers
of public entertainment. Social environment, instead of favouring the growth of intelligence,
opposes it with all its might. Moral sense is almost completely ignored by the modern society. We
have, in fact, suppressed its manifestation. All are Imbued with irresponsibility. Those who discern
good and evil, who are industrious and provident, remain poor and are looked upon as morose.
The woman who has several children, who devotes herself to their education, instead of her own
career, is considered weak-minded. If a man saves a little money for his wife and the education of
his children, this money is stolen from him by enterprising financiers or taken by the Government
and distributed to those who have been reduced to want by their own improvidence and the
short-sightedness of manufacturers, bankers and economists. Artists and men of science supply
the community with beauty, health and wealth. They live and die in poverty. Robbers enjoy
prosperity and peace. Gangsters are protected by politicians and respected by judges. They are the

www.ibpsadda.com

www.onlinemocktest.guru

heroes whom children admire at the cinema and imitate in their games. A rich man has every
right. He may discard his ageing wife, abandon his old mother to penury, rob those who have
entrusted their money to him, without losing the consideration of his friends. Sexual morals have
been cast aside. Psychoanalysts supervise men and women in their conjugal relations. There is no
difference between wrong and right, just and unjust. No one makes any objection to their
presence. Ministers have rationalized religion. They have destroyed its mystical basis. But they do
not succeed in attracting modern men. In their half-empty churches, they vainly preach a weak
morality. They are content with the part of policemen, helping in the interest of the wealthy to
preserve the framework of present society. Or, like politicians, they flatter the appetites of the
crowd. Men are powerless against such psychological attacks. They necessarily yield to the
influence of their group. If one lives in the company of fools or criminals, one becomes a fool or
criminal. Isolation is the only hope of salvation. But where will the inhabitants of the new city find
solitude? Said Marcus Aurelius, No retreat is more peaceful or less troubled than that
encountered by man in his own soul. But we are not capable of such an effort. We cannot fight
out social surroundings victoriously.

13. What does the author mean by saying, A rich man has every right.?
1) The rich are the privileged few chosen by God.
2) The rich command resources of every type which enable them to claim and get anything they
desire.
3) The rich are not accountable to God for any of their actions.
4) The govt consists of members belonging to rich families. Hence, they provide every sort of
protection to the rich.

11. 4; W must be immediately to the left of X. Hence, X cant be placed in the window no. 1.
12. 1; If X is placed in window no. 3 then W must be immediate left of X, ie at no. 2
13.

The position no. 6 cant be occupied by W because X occupies the position immediate right of
W. And since, W is not at the position 5, hence the position 6 cant be occupied by X. Also,
according to the given information V cant occupy the position adjacent to U. Hence, V cant
occupy the number 6 position. Thus, reject the options 1), 2) and 3).

Here, seven friends are: P, Q, R, S, T, V and W
Seven destinations are: Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad,
Bangalore, Kolkata, Chandigarh and Jaipur.
Let us proceed with the following direct information:
R JaipurMonday; BangaloreSaturday;
P Chandigarh; S Kolkata Friday;
W Delhi
With the help of above information we get the following table:

28

www.onlinemocktest.guru

Let us use indirect information. Since Q did not leave for either Hyderabad or Banglore, the
above table helps us conclude that Q left for Chennai.
Now, Tleft the next day of P s departure and on previous day of Ws. According to the above
table, P and W did not depart on Monday, Saturday or Friday. T did not depart on Monday or
Friday.
Now P cant depart on Sunday or Thursday because T did not depart on Monday or Friday
respectively. P cant departure on Wednesday because W did not departure on Friday. Hence, by
elimination, P left for Chandigarh on Tuesday, T left for its destination on Wednesday and W
left for Delhi on Thursday. Now look upon table II.

Now, since T left for his destination on Wednesday, it is obvious that Ts destination is
Hyderabad. By elimination, V is going to Banglore, and Q left for Chennai on Sunday. Hence, the
above information can be summarized as follow :

16. 2 , 17. 3 , 18. 4 , 19. 5 , 20. 1

29

21. 4; All scooters are vehicles + No vehicle is a four-wheeler = A + E = E = No schooter is a fourwheeler. Hence neither I nor II follows.

22. 1; Some pens are pencils (I) -- > conversion -- > Some pencils are pens (I). Hence I follows.
Some pens are pencils + Some pencisl are black = I + I = No conclusion. Hence II does not follow.

23. 4; All professionals are doctor + No doctor is rich = A + E = E = No professional is rich

conversion -- > No rich is professional (E).

24. 1; I + I = No conclusion. So possibilities are open (hence I follows) but certainties are not (hence
II does not follow).
25. 4; All shares are debentures + No debentures is an equity = A + E = E = No share is an equity -> conversion No equity is a share (E) Some equities are not shares (O). Hence I and II does not
follow.
