Question 7:

Global population was around 1.6 billion in 1990-today it is around 7-2 billion and growing. Recent estimates on population growth predict a global population of 9.6 billion in 2050 and 10.9 billion in 2100. Unlike Europe and North America, where only three to four per cent of population is engaged in agriculture, around 47 per cent of India's population is dependent upon agriculture. Even if India continues to do well in the service sector and the manufacturing sector picks up, it is expected that around 2030 when India overtakes China as the world's most populous country, nearly 42 per cent of India's population will still be predominantly dependent on agriculture. Which of the following us the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage? (a) prosperity of agriculture sector is of critical importance to India. (b)India economy greatly depends on its agriculture. (c) India should take strict measures to control its rapid population growth.

Question 17:

It is no longer enough for us to talk about providing for universal access to education. Making available schooling facilities is an essential prerequisite, but is insufficient to ensure that all children attend school and participate in the learning process. The school may be there, but children may not attend or they may drop out after a few months. Through school and social mapping, we must address the entire gamut of social, economic, cultural and indeed linguistic and pedagogic issues,factors that prevent children from weaker sections and disadvantaged groups, as also girls, from regularly attending and complementing elementary education. The focus must be on the poorest and most vulnerable since these groups are the most disempowered and at the greatest risk of violation or denial or denial of their right to education. The right to education goes beyond free and compulsory education to include quality education for all. Quality is an integral part the right to education . If the education process lacks quality, children are being denied their right. The Right of Children to free and Compulsory Education Act lays down that the curriculum should provide for learning through activities, exploration and discovery. This places an obligation on us to change our perception of children as passive receivers of knowledge and to move beyond of examinations. The teaching-learning process must become stress-free, and a massive programme for curricular reform should be initiated to provide for a child-friendly learning system, that is more relevant and empowering. Teacher accountability systems and processes must ensure that children are learning and that their to learn in a child-friendly environment is not violated. Testing and assessment systems must be reexamined and redesigned to ensure that these do not force children to struggle between school and tuition centres, and bypass childhood. According to the passage, which of the following is/are of paramount importance under the Right to Education? 1Sending of children to school by all parents 2 Provision of adequate physical infrastructure in schools 3 Curricular reforms for developing child- friendly learning system Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Question 25:

'Desertification ' is a term used to explain a process of decline in the biological productivity of an ecosystem, leading to a total loss of productivity .while this phenomenon is often linked to the arid, semi-arid and sub-humid ecosystems, even in the humid tropics, the impact could be most dramatic. the impoverishment of human-impacted terrestrial ecosystems may exhibit itself in the mountain regions of the country, may exhibit itself in a variety of ways: accelerated erosion as in the mountain regions of the country, salinization of land as in the semi-arid and arid 'green revolutionaries of the country, e.g, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, and site quality decline - a common phenomenon due to general decline in three cover and monotonous monoculture of rice/wheat across the India plains. A major consequence of deforestation is that it relates to adverse alterations in hydrology and related soil and nutrient losses. The consequence of deforestation invariably arises out of site degradation through erosive losses. Tropical Asia, Africa and South America have the highest levels of erosion. The already high rate foe the tropics are increasing at an alarming rate (e.g, through the major river systems -Ganga and Brahmaputra, in the India context), due to deforestation and ill-suited land management practices subsequent to forest cleaning, In the mountain context, the declining moisture retention of the mountain's soils, drying up to the underground springs and smaller river in the Himalayan region could be attributed to drastic changes in the forest cover. An indirect consequence is drastic alteration in the upland-lowland interaction, mediated through water. The current concern the tea planter of Assam has is about the damage to tea plantation due to frequent inundation along the flood-plains of Brahmaputur and the damage to tea plantation and the consequent loss in tea productivity is due to rising level to the river bottom because of the river system . The ultimate consequences of site desertification are soil degradation, alteration in available water and its quality, and the consequent decline in food, fodder and fuel-wood yields essential for the economic well-being of rural communities. According to the passage, which of the following are the consequences of decline in forest cover? 1 Loss of topsoil 2 loss of smaller rivers 3Adverse effect on agricultural production 4 Declining of groundwater Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Question 31:

Some people believe that leadership is a quality which you have at birth or not at all. This theory is false, for the art of leadership can be acquired and can indeed be taught. This discovery is made in time of war and the results achieved can surprise even the instructors.

Question 18:

It is no longer enough for us to talk about providing for universal access to education. Making available schooling facilities is an essential prerequisite, but is insufficient to ensure that all children attend school and participate in the learning process. The school may be there, but children may not attend or they may drop out after a few months. Through school and social mapping, we must address the entire gamut of social, economic, cultural and indeed linguistic and pedagogic issues,factors that prevent children from weaker sections and disadvantaged groups, as also girls, from regularly attending and complementing elementary education. The focus must be on the poorest and most vulnerable since these groups are the most disempowered and at the greatest risk of violation or denial or denial of their right to education. The right to education goes beyond free and compulsory education to include quality education for all. Quality is an integral part the right to education . If the education process lacks quality, children are being denied their right. The Right of Children to free and Compulsory Education Act lays down that the curriculum should provide for learning through activities, exploration and discovery. This places an obligation on us to change our perception of children as passive receivers of knowledge and to move beyond of examinations. The teaching-learning process must become stress-free, and a massive programme for curricular reform should be initiated to provide for a child-friendly learning system, that is more relevant and empowering. Teacher accountability systems and processes must ensure that children are learning and that their to learn in a child-friendly environment is not violated. Testing and assessment systems must be reexamined and redesigned to ensure that these do not force children to struggle between school and tuition centres, and bypass childhood. With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1 The Right to Eduction guarantees teachers' accountability for the learning process of children. 2 The Right to Education guarantees 100% enrolment of children in the schools. 3The Right to Education intends to take full advantage of demographic dividend. Which of the above assumptions is/are vaild? (a) 1 only (b) 2 and 3 only (c) 3 only (d) 1,2 and 3

Question 26:

'Desertification ' is a term used to explain a process of decline in the biological productivity of an ecosystem, leading to a total loss of productivity .while this phenomenon is often linked to the arid, semi-arid and sub-humid ecosystems, even in the humid tropics, the impact could be most dramatic. the impoverishment of human-impacted terrestrial ecosystems may exhibit itself in the mountain regions of the country, may exhibit itself in a variety of ways: accelerated erosion as in the mountain regions of the country, salinization of land as in the semi-arid and arid 'green revolutionaries of the country, e.g, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, and site quality decline - a common phenomenon due to general decline in three cover and monotonous monoculture of rice/wheat across the India plains. A major consequence of deforestation is that it relates to adverse alterations in hydrology and related soil and nutrient losses. The consequence of deforestation invariably arises out of site degradation through erosive losses. Tropical Asia, Africa and South America have the highest levels of erosion. The already high rate foe the tropics are increasing at an alarming rate (e.g, through the major river systems -Ganga and Brahmaputra, in the India context), due to deforestation and ill-suited land management practices subsequent to forest cleaning, In the mountain context, the declining moisture retention of the mountain's soils, drying up to the underground springs and smaller river in the Himalayan region could be attributed to drastic changes in the forest cover. An indirect consequence is drastic alteration in the upland-lowland interaction, mediated through water. The current concern the tea planter of Assam has is about the damage to tea plantation due to frequent inundation along the flood-plains of Brahmaputur and the damage to tea plantation and the consequent loss in tea productivity is due to rising level to the river bottom because of the river system . The ultimate consequences of site desertification are soil degradation, alteration in available water and its quality, and the consequent decline in food, fodder and fuel-wood yields essential for the economic well-being of rural communities. Which of the following is/are the correct inference/inferences that can be made from the passage? 1 Deforestation can cause change in the course of rivers. 2Salinization of land takes place due to human activities only. 3 Intense monoculture practice in plains is a major reason for desertification in Tropical Asia, Africa and South America. Select the correct answer using the code given below. (a) 1 only (b) 1 and 2 only (c) 2 and 3 (d)None of the above is a correct infernce

. But the private-sector and former-led process of choosing crops favour homogeneity adapted to past or current conditions, not varieties capable of producing consistently high yields in warmer, wetter, or drier conditions. Accelerated breeding programmes are needed to conserve a wider pool of genetic resource of exiting crops, breeds, and their wild relatives. Relatives intact ecosystems, such as forested catchments, management approaches will need to be more provocative and adaptive. Connections between natural areas, such as migration corridors, may be needed to facilitate species movements to keep up with the change in climate. With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1 Diversification of livelihoods acts as a coping strategy for climate change. 2 Adoption of monocropping practice leads to the extinction of plant varieties and their wild relatives. which of the above assumptions is/are vaild?

A male tiger was removed from Pench Tiger Reserve and was relocated to Panna National park. Later, this tiger trekked toward his home 250 miles away . The trek of this solitary tiger highlights a crisis. Many wildlife reserves exist as islands of fragile habitat in a vast sea of humanity, yet tigers can range over a hundred miles, seeking prey, mates and territory. Nearly a third of India's tigers live outsides tiger reserve, a situation that is dangerous for both human and animal. Prey and tigers can only disperse if there are recognized corridors of land between protected areas to allow unmolested passage. With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1 The strategy of conservation of wildlife by relocating them from one Protected area to another is not often successful. 2 India does not have suitable legislation to save the tigers, and its conservation efforts have failed which forced the tiger to live outside protected areas.
