I am providing you the Sample Paper of MSc Economics of Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR) IGIDR MSc Economics question paper Test of Comprehension, Reasoning and Analytical Ability This test of Comprehension, Reasoning & Analytical Ability will be of 90 minutes duration. This test is designed to examine the candidate’s verbal ability, analytical reasoning and quantitative skills. Of the 197 million square miles making up the surface of the globe, 71 percent is covered by the interconnecting bodies of marine water; the Pacific Ocean alone covers half the Earth and averages nearly 14, 000 feet in depth. The continents - Eurasia, Africa. North America, South America, Australia and Antarctica - are the portions of the continental masses rising above sea level. The submerged borders of the continental masses are the continental shelves, beyond which lie the deep-sea basins. The oceans attain their greatest depths not in their central parts, but in certain elongated furrows, or long narrow troughs, called deeps. The profound troughs have a peripheral arrangement, notably around the borders of the Pacific and Indian oceans. The position of the deeps near the continental masses suggest that the deeps, like the highest mountains, are of recent origin, since otherwise they would have been filled with waste from the lands. This suggestion is strengthened by the fact that the deeps are frequently the sites of the worldshaking earthquakes. For examples, the “tidal wave” that in April, 1946, caused widespread destruction along Pacific coasts resulted from a strong earthquake on the floor of the Aleutian Deep. 1 . Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? (1) Features of the Earth’s Surface (2) Marine Topography (3) The Causes of Earthquakes (4) Primary Geologic Considerations (5) How to prevent Erosion. 2. According to the passage, the peripheral furrows or deeps are found –– (1) only in the Pacific and Indian oceans (2) near earthquakes (3) near the shore (4) in the centre of the ocean (5) to be 14,000 feet in depth in the Pacific. 3. From this passage, it can be inferred that earthquakes –– (1) occur only in the peripheral furrows (2) occur more frequently in newly formed land or sea formations. (3) are a prime cause of soil erosion (4) will ultimately “make mountains level” (5) are caused by the weight of the water II. The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G, not necessarily in that order, stand for seven consecutive integers from 1 to 10. D is 3 less than A., B is the middle term. F is as much less than B as C is greater than D. G is greater than F. 1. The fifth integer is–– (1) A (2) C (3) D (4) E (5) F 2. A is as much greater than F as which integer is less than G ? (1) A (2) B (3) C (4) D (5) E IGIDR MSc Economics question paper    For complete question paper here is the attachment Contact- IGIDR Block D, Santosh Nagar, Sankalp Colony, Goregaon East, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400097 |
