SECTION-A : ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Passage (Q.1-Q.5): Between 1939 and 1945 an estimated number of 3,00,000 mentally ill and handicapped
people – women, men and children – were murdered: They were gassed with carbon monoxide in specially
invented killing centers; they died in mental hospitals and asylums where they were deprived of food, neglected
or administered lethal doses of medication. In the occupied territories of Poland and the Soviet Union they were
shot by special units or task forces of the SS, gassed or murdered in another equally brutal way. Doctors, care
attendants, administrative staff and members of the SS participated in the extermination programs. Even though
there were differences regarding the organization and responsibilities of the murder campaigns, they all served
the same purpose: the more or less organized annihilation of humans considered “unworthy of life” under the
premise to relieve these allegedly incurably ill from their suffering and to “clean the racial corpus from
Ballastexistenzen (ballast existences)”.
m
In the politically disrupted Weimar Republic at the wake of the Nazi takeover the ideas of the “destruction of
life unworthy of life” and the by then scientifically established eugenics put at stake the unconditional respect
.c o
for life and individual dignity. The notion to sacrifice the weak to strengthen the healthy and strong, which was
inspired by racial hygienic and social Darwinist thoughts, became more attractive to doctors, politicians, lawyers,
rs
economists and scientists.
After the Nazi takeover in January 1933, racial hygiene became the dominant school of thought in the field of
k e
population and social policy. Subsidies and social benefits such as marriage loans for freshly wed couples were
to be assigned according to the racial value of humans and the quality of their hereditary disposition. At the same
time, the “Gesetz zur Verhütung erbkranken Nachwuchses” (“Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased
n
Progeny”) determined which parts of the population would be excluded from reproduction by forced sterilization.
a
Between 1934 and 1945, 3,50,000 to 4, 00,000 people were sterilized against their will because they suffered
r
from one of eight diseases that were considered to be “Erbkrankheiten” (“hereditary diseases”): people with
p
tr-5I7J9C1D 7K5G7B
epilepsy, alcoholism, birth defects, hearing loss, mental illnesses etc.
To
An elaborate racial hygienic propaganda was developed. Its aim was to legitimize the policy of sterilization in
the eyes of the population and along with it went a massive degradation of those humans who were considered
socially and genetically inferior. Even if terms such as “eradication” and the “cleansing of the racial corpus”
were used, the postulation of the “destruction of life unworthy of life” was rarely pronounced in the public
sphere. tr-5N7M9P1P7S

Passage (Q.6-Q.12): As the threat of another global recession looms large over the world economy, the crisis
o
of capitalism has again come back to haunt us. With Marxist or communist economic models already dead in
c
the post-Soviet era, the world economy, driven by the capitalist models, has been repeatedly rocked by one or
rs .
the other economic crisis at regular intervals. This implores us to think about an alternative and novel economic
model that can go beyond communism and capitalism to provide sustainable economic growth and development
to all the countries in the world. The world may find the answer in ‘Hindu Economics’ or what might be
e
alternatively called the ‘Third Way’. The term ‘Third Way’ was coined by Dattopant Thengadi while the most
authoritative treatise on ‘Hindu Economics’ has been propounded in recent times by Dr. MG Bokare. The West-
k
educated economists, even within the Indian policy framework, have ensured that the works of home-grown
n
economists Thengadi and Bokare didn’t get recognition as well as the attention of the policy makers that they
a
deserved. Thengadi outlined the framework of ‘Hindu Economics’ in ‘Third Way’ (Sahitya Sindhu Prakashan)
p r
and how it is fundamentally different from the Western framework of economics. “Holy Vedas have clear
references of market, supply and demand, price, trade, tr- interest
5I7J9C1Dand
7B
7K5Gprofit, and tax. By interpolation we can
deduce lease-rent and wages also for people without property for income. Mercantile laws governing the
economy are codified.”
To
“The history of economic thoughts flows from holy Vedas to Mahabharata, especially Shanti-Parva and Vidura-
Niti. Then follow the Smrutis of Yajnavalkya, Gautama, Manu, Shukracharya, Kautilya, etc. Smrutis are
codifications of economic activities with some measures
tr-5N7M9P1P7S
of quantifications of the variables. Cost of production,
5P7L
market price, percentage of profit, percentage of tax, wage-rates, interest-rates etc. are stated in the
codified Smrutis. Competition and monopoly are clearly identified. Foreign trade has been explained. The
codification in Smrutis is the last phase. Kautilya’s Arthashastra is the last book on economics in ancient India.”
In explaining the crux of the Hindu economic system, all persons will have to seek their living by earning
incomes in the process of self-employment. This is the conclusion of the theory. Hindu-economics has a theory
tr-5N 7M9P1P7S5P7L
of inexorableness of self-employment after the disappearance of capitalism. The knowledge of this
phenomenology helps the rulers of Hindu economy to engineer a programme to give shape to enterprises for
self-employment. The state organised the funds to give loans to the self-employed people. All people, therefore,
become proprietors-owners and earn incomes. The society will not find proletariat in the economy. If there is no
proletariat, there cannot exist a capitalist system. An economy without proletariat is free from exploitation. It
consummates its ethos of socialism. Thus, theory and programme engender a decentralised economy. The theory
is universally valid. Hindu-economics in this sense is for mankind.

6. What is the main point being conveyed in the passage?
(a) There is a need to reform capitalistic economic model with insights from Indian scholars and Hindu

Passage (Q.13-Q.20): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Cacio e pepe is a dish of only three ingredients, two of which are evident at first glance to anyone familiar with
Roman dialect. Cacio is Romanesco for sheep's milk cheese. Along with pepe, or black pepper, the cheese -
ideally Pecorino - unites with pasta (and a hefty dose of starchy cooking water) to form a rich, creamy sauce.
According to legend, the dish first appeared centuries ago among shepherds spending the spring and summer
months in the grazing meadows of the Apennine Mountains, which traverse the Italian peninsula. While keeping
watch over their flocks, shepherds would tap into personal stores of dried pasta and pepper; cheap, easy to
transport and resistant to spoilage, these two ingredients were combined with the cheese (made from milk of the
herders' flocks) to make a delicious, simple dish that kept them warm on cold evenings.
"Black pepper directly stimulates the heat receptors and helped the shepherds to protect themselves from the
cold," explained Alessandra Argiolas, marketing manager for Sardinian Pecorino producers Argiolas Formaggi.
"And the pasta guaranteed a lot of energy."

But according to Angelo Carotenuto, a native Roman and owner and manager of LivItaly Tours, cacio e pepe's
origin may be a bit less romantic. Carotenuto and local guide Dario Bartoli recently took to the internet with a
LivTalk, "sort of like a TedTalk gone late-night show" as described by Carotenuto, to profile this and other local
pasta dishes.
According to them, dishes like cacio e pepe, carbonara (a rich sauce made with a combination of beaten egg and
dry-cured guanciale or pork cheek) and amatriciana (made with guanciale, tomato and Pecorino cheese) likely
got their start, not in the mountains, but in the mines and factories that once surrounded the Lazio region
encompassing Rome, near where low-income families once lived.
Dried cheese, dried guanciale and dried pasta were filling, cheap and didn't spoil easily: perfect for a simple,
inexpensive meal. And while the first two ingredients would likely have been used locally for "literally
centuries," according to Carotenuto, the invention of these dishes, now perceived as Roman classics, probably
m
dates to the 1800s, when pasta became popular in the Italian capital.
o
"You're looking at the unification of Italy, so the ability to transfer flavours and recipes easily," he explained,
c
noting that before unification, the poor would have been getting their carbohydrates from bread and polenta,
rs .
rather than from pasta, which, Carotenuto explains, is said to have arrived in Italy through the Venetian ports.
However, cacio e pepe was invented, one thing is for sure: it has captured many hearts around the world,
including that of the late, great Anthony Bourdain. In one episode of No Reservations, Bourdain went so far as
k e
to say the dish "could be the greatest thing in the history of the world" – and refused to disclose his favourite

Passage (Q.21-Q.32): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Over the years, citizen scientists have provided vital data and contributed in invaluable ways to various scientific
rs .
quests. But they're typically relegated to helping traditional scientists complete tasks the pros don't have the time
or resources to deal with on their own. Citizens are asked to count wildlife, for instance, or classify photos that
are of interest to the lead researchers. This type of top-down engagement has consigned citizen science to the
e
fringes, where it fills a manpower gap but not much more. As a result, its full value has not been realised. (A)

Marginalising the citizen mistake (P) and their potential contribution is a grave discovery (Q) - it scientists (R)
how far we can go in science and the speed and scope of limits (S). Instead, by harnessing globalisation's
n
increased interconnectivity, citizen science should become an integral part of open innovation. Science agendas
a
can be set by citizens, data can be open, and opensource software and hardware can be shared to assist in the
r
scientific process. And as the model proves itself, it can be expanded even further, into nonscience realms.

(B) Citizen-powered science has been around for over 100 years, utilising the collective brainpower of regular,
o
everyday people to collect, observe, input, identify and crossmatch data that contribute and expand scientific
discovery. And there have been some marked successes. eBird allows scores of citizen scientists to record bird

5P7L photos taken daily in this African ecosystem. FoldIt
is an online game where players are tasked with using the tools provided to virtually fold protein structures. The
goal is to help scientists figure out if these structures can be used in medical applications. (E) A set of user
determined the crystal structure (U) of an enzyme involved in the monkey version (V) of AIDS in just three
weeks - a problem that (W) had previously went unsolved for 15 years (X). Galaxy Zoo is perhaps the most well-
known online citizen science project. It uploads images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and allows users to
assist with the morphologicaltr-classification
5N7M9P1P7S of galaxies. The citizen astronomers discovered an entirely new class
5P7L
of galaxy - "green pea" galaxies - that have gone on to be the subject of over 20 academic articles.
These are all notable successes, with citizens contributing to the projects cut off by professional scientists. But
there's so much more potential in the model. What does the next generation of citizen science look like? The
time is right for citizen science to join forces with open innovation. This is a concept that describes partnering
with other people and sharing ideas to come up with something new. (C) when boundaries are lowered and
resources - (K) hardware - are opened and made freely available (L) the assumption is that more can be achieved
(M) including ideas, data, designs and software and (N). Open innovation is collaborative, distributed,
cumulative and it develops over time. Citizen science can be a critical element here because its professional-
amateurs can become another significant source of data, standards and best practices that could further the work
of scientific and lay communities.
Globalisation has spurred on this trend through the ubiquity of internet and wireless connections, affordable
devices to collect data (such as cameras, smartphones, smart sensors, wearable technologies), and the ability to
easily connect with others. Increased access to people, information and ideas points the way to unlock new

Passage (Q.33-Q.37): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Paragraph 1
rs .
Each deed seemed to demand a reciprocal gesture: every gift was met, at some point down the road, with a return
gift. Exchanges that appeared voluntary were also, at some level, obligatory. Seen this way, gift-giving started
k e
to look an awful lot like an economic transaction. And yet - and this is what struck Mauss, as it should strike us
- everything in our language and our laws would have us believe that the gift and the contract are of a different
n
species. The former is motivated by goodness, and the latter by the utility.

Passage (Q.38-Q.40): Read the following passages carefully and answer the following questions.
When I began my career in journalism - I was a reporter at a national magazine in those days - there was a man
I will call Claus Schmidt. He was in his mid-fifties, and to my impressionable eyes, he was the quintessential
k e
newsman: cynical at times, but unrelentingly curious and full of life, and often hilariously funny in a sandpaper-
dry kind of way. He churned out hard-hitting cover stories and features with a speed and elegance I could only
n
dream of. It always astounded me that he was never promoted to managing editor.
a
But people who knew Claus better than I did thought of him not just as a great newsman but as a quintessential
r
survivor, someone who had endured in an environment often hostile to talent. He had lived through at least three
p
major changes in the magazine's leadership, losing most oftr-5I
his 1D7K
best
7J9C 5G7B
friends and colleagues on the way. At home,
two of his children succumbed to incurable illnesses, and a third was killed in a traffic accident. Despite all this
To
– or maybe because of it - he milled around the newsroom day after day, mentoring the cub reporters, talking
about the novels he was writing – always looking forward to what the future held for him.
Why do some people suffer real hardships and not falter? Claus Schmidt could have reacted very differently. We
have all seen that happen: One person cannot seem to get
tr-5N7M9P1P7S
the confidence back after a layoff; another, persistently
5P7L
depressed, takes a few years off from life after her divorce. The question we would all like answered is, Why?
What exactly is that quality of resilience that carries people through life?
It is a question that has fascinated me ever since I first learned of the Holocaust survivors in elementary school.
In college, and later in my studies as an affiliate scholar at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, I
returned to the subject. For the past several months, however, I have looked on it with a new urgency, for it
tr-5N 7M9P1P7S5P7L
seems to me that the terrorism, war, and recession of recent months have made understanding resilience more
important than ever. I have considered both the nature of individual resilience and what makes some
organizations as a whole more resilient than others. Why do some people and some companies buckle under
pressure? And what makes others bend and ultimately bounce back?
My exploration has taught me much about resilience, although it is a subject none of us will ever understand
fully. Indeed, resilience is one of the great puzzles of human nature, like creativity or the religious instinct. But
in sifting through psychological research and in reflecting on the many stories of resilience I have heard, I have
seen a little more deeply into the hearts and minds of people like Claus Schmidt and, in doing so, looked more
deeply into the human psyche as well. "More than education, more than experience, more than training, a person's
level of resilience will determine who succeeds and who fails. That is true in the cancer ward, it is true in the
Olympics, and it's true in the boardroom".

Passage (Q.41-Q.44): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
k
There are certain phrases that are central to the way the tech industry holds over our collective imagination: they
do not simply reflect our experience; they frame how we experience it in the first place. They sweep aside certain
n
parts of the status quo and leave other parts mysteriously untouched. They implicitly cast you as a stick-in-the-
a
mud if you ask how much revolution someone is capable of when that person represents billions in venture
r
capital investment. Among the most influential of these phrases is undoubtedly "disruption".
p
5G7B
tr-5I7J9C1D7K
The concept of disruption is a way for companies, the press or simply individuals to think about questions of
o
continuity and discontinuity - what lasts and what doesn't, what is genuinely new and what is just the next version
of something older. There is a lot at stake in how we think about these issues. Are the changes the tech industry
T
brings about or claims to bring about, fundamental transformations of how capitalism functions, or are they an
extension of how it has always functioned? The answers to such questions will determine what regulatory
oversight we believe is necessary or desirable, what role5Pwe
tr-5N7M9P1P7S
7L think the government or unions should play in a new
industry such as tech, and even how the industry and its titans ought to be discussed.
When we speak of disruption, we are usually thinking about the perils of continuity; we express the sense that
continuity works fine until it doesn't. To some extent, this sense that things staying the same for too long is
dangerous and makes us risk falling behind is characteristic of modernity - not in the sense of a specific time
period so much as the condition of being5Pmodern, living in a modern age. As the poet Charles Baudelaire wrote
tr-5N 7M9P1P7S 7L
in the 19th century, when the world around him was modernising at a breakneck pace: "The form of a
city/changes faster, alas, than a mortal's heart." Keep living the way you're living, and soon enough you'll find
yourself living in the past.
More specifically, though, disruption resonates with our experience of capitalism. Think of all the companies
and products that you remember treating as seemingly permanent, inextricable fixtures of your everyday life,
that nevertheless slid right out and disappeared with time. Recall, if you're of the right age, the act of re-spooling
a cassette tape with your pinkie finger, or the phrase "Be kind, please rewind". Or, for a slightly younger
generation, the whistles of a dial-up modem or the mastication of a floppy disk drive. Disruption tells a story
that explains how things that seem as if they will last forever nevertheless come to be short-lived. Neither those
who argue for continuity nor those who are in favour of discontinuity are disinterested parties - everyone has a
stake in these things. I have to include myself in this. I confess to being very wary of claims of disruption, but
then again, as a professor of literature, I'm in a profession that pretty much depends on the idea that the past
matters a lot and that messing with it in any meaningful sense entails spending a lot of time studying it.

Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives said Sunday that the United States deplores recent attacks by
a
Azerbaijan and called for a negotiated solution to the countries' conflict. The Speaker's visit to the Armenian
r
capital, Yerevan, with a congressional delegation came just a few days after two days of shelling by both sides
that killed more than 200 troops. It was the largest outbreak of hostilities in more than two years. The two
p
5G7B
tr-5I7J9C1D7K
exSoviet countries have been locked in a decades-old conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, which is part of
o
Azerbaijan but was long under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war
there ended in 1994. During a six-week war in 2020, Azerbaijan reclaimed broad swaths of Nagorno-Karabakh
T
and adjacent territories held by Armenian forces. More than 6,700 people died in that fight. Armenia and
Azerbaijan each blamed the other for starting the shelling attacks last week. The Speaker on Sunday met with
the president of Armenia's parliament andtr-told reporters
5N7M9P1P7S
5P7L afterwards that "Our meeting again had particular
importance to us because the focus was on security following the illegal and deadly attacks by Azerbaijan on the
Armenian territory." "We strongly condemn those attacks - we in our delegation on behalf of Congress -
Which threaten prospects for a much-needed peace agreement," she said. "The United States has clearly and has
long stated that there can be no military solution to the conflict. We continue to watch the situation closely and
we continue supporting a negotiated, comprehensive and sustainable solution to all issues relating to the
tr-5N 7M9P1P7S5P7L
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict." The Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry sharply criticised her comments. "The Speaker's
baseless and unfair accusations against Azerbaijan are unacceptable," it said in a statement.
45. According to the passage, which of the following statements denote(s) the reaction of the Speaker of the US
about the recent attacks?

President, as the case may be, on or before the date of the decision of the Supreme Court shall not be invalidated
by reason of that declaration.
Factual Situation: Pal Singh wants to become President of India. To this end he needs the support of the Bhoos
party, the leader of which is Bhoosa Aam. Bhoosa Aam’s brother Musa Aam has been awarded death penalty.
Pal Singh promises Bhoosa Aam that if he becomes president he will pardon Musa Aam. Bhoos Party supports
Pal Singh and he wins the presidential election. Right after the election Musa Aam is pardoned and this deal
comes to light. A petition is filed in the Supreme Court and the SC finds that the presidential election had been
tainted. What will now happen to pardoning Musa Aam’s punishment of death penalty?
(a) His pardon will be cancelled as pardon was part of the election malpractice.

Factual Situation: Abhinav is having breakfast one day when police officers turn up at his house. They tell him
to come with them to the police station. When he asks why, they tell him we’ll tell you there. Police did not have

Factual Situation: Somnath Singh has started a plywood grinding unit on the first floor of his house. The ground
e
floor of his house has a slanting roof. His neighbor is Dr. Aditya. Dr. Aditya is adversely affected by this to a
great extent. This is because of several reasons. Firstly, the dust from the plywood grinding machine causes
k
respiratory problems for his family members and people who visit him. Secondly, the noise caused by the
n
machine is also unbearable. Though Somnath Singh had purchased his property earlier than Dr. Aditya. At the
a
time Dr. Aditya purchased the neighboring property, Somnath Singh hadn’t started this business.

Factual Situation: Nelesh Dutt (ND) is a big politician and holds the distinction of being the only person to
have been the Chief Minister of two Indian states. A tabloid called Midnight Masala Times publishes a
photograph of him, where though it is an innocent situation, the photo is taken at such an angle such that it
suggests that ND’s lips are close to that of a lady, maybe even touching hers. Both have closed their eyes and
the lady has puckered up, maybe in speech thereby adding to the confusion. The photo carries the caption “Tharki
Mantri” (minister who enjoys the good things in life) ND sues the tabloid. His reputation suffers significant after
