Directions (Qs. 11 to 17): Read title following passage to answer the given questions based on it.
Managing urban development to keep pace with internal migration is a major challenge for India. As
more people shift from agriculture to industry and services, cities are faced with a massive influx of
migrants. Given limited capacities, urban infrastructure is bursting at the seams. World Bank
projections show urban centres accounting for 40% of India's population by 2030 and crossing 50%
by 2040-50. Given our traditional lacklustre attitude towards urban development-thanks to a
political bias in favour of rural India-our cities are looking at bleak futures unless we tackle the issue
now.
It is in the backdrop that the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project to build new futuristic
cities assumes significance. Expansion of existing urban metropolises is insufficient to deal with
demand. By 2020, there will be a shortfall of 30 million urban dwelling units, 200 million water
connections and 160 GW of power. In many cases, such as Delhi and Kolkata, expansion is simply not
possible due to constraints on land. Short of Baron Haussmann's forcible renovation of Paris in the
19th century to decongest the French capita!, building new cities from scratch is the best way to
quickly create urban infrastructure.
Based oil model urban cities such as Suzhou in China and Songdo in South Korea, the DMlC project
envisages a total of 24 'smart cities' spanning six states. On completion, they will boast of state-ofthe-
art infrastructure with centrally integrated civic services such as water, power and sewage
disposal. The lesson from the Delhi experience is that a multiplicity of authorities only leads to
confusion in urban development. A central local body that oversees all services will be far more
efficient in coordinating public works and repair. An integrated, accessible public transport system is
the foundation of smart cities and a much-needed antidote to the chaos that the burgeoning
number of private vehicles is creating in urban India. This entails creating multiple transportation
options that smoothly feed into each other. Energy efficiency and clean technology must be the
watchwords.
All of these will only be possible if there is sufficient devolution of power in favour of strong city
governments, Whether it is New York, London or Tokyo, great cities have empowered local councils
to manage affairs of development. Mumbai is a classic example of a city where infrastructure woes
are directly linked to the absence of an effective local government besides negligence of state
authorities. New cities must be provided with strong mayoral institutions to avoid a similar fate. For
inclusive growth, we need new cities not just along the DMIC corridor but in the rest of the country
as well.

Directions (Q.No. 28-33): Read the following passage to answer the given questions based on it.
The truly futuristic-sounding 2011 as opposed to the APJ Abdul Kalam - sounding 2020 is finally upon
us. Okay, so we still don't have anti-gravity cars and lunar colonies. But surely, in the age of
Facebook, Twitter and the reversible belt, we can expect something truly techno goggling to set us
apart from those archaic lot who roamed the Earth in the first decade of this century, loudly
cheering the wonders of iPod and chat rooms. What are we told we'll get by the early months of
2011? A universal mobile charger. Yes, you read that right a universal mobile charger (UMC)!.
It turns out that sometime last year, the European Commission (EC) decided on u common mobile
charger for all mobile telephones. We were told that no longer would we have to scrounge for a
caste-based charger-a Blackberry owner hunting down a fellow Blackberry owner while looking to
charge his depleted phone, or a Nokia handset person helping out a fellow Nokiaite when the cell
bars are blinking. Very soon, we will all be using a micro-USB socket for all our new phones.
If you are devastatingly underwhelmed by that announcement coming especially as it does from a
place that, only months ago, was talking about finding the 'God particle' by smashing sub-atomic
particles in subterranean Geneva-you are not alone. It is not the kind of invention that historian of
ideas, Thomas Kuhn, would have counted as 'paradigm-shifting'. The fact that your local electrical
appliance shop has been providing multi-formatted sockets adds to the disappointment. So while
the EC thinks it's unleashing a consumer breakthrough, we suggest that you keep waiting for a really
'we are in the future' device to appear.
28. The author is/thinks that--
A. Excited about UMC
B. UMC is a 'paradigm-shift' technology
C. UMC in some local form is already available in India
D. 2020 has arrived in 2011 as far as devices are concerned
E. Anti-gravity cars have become a reality
29. Which of the following is conveyed by "When the cell bars are blinking"?
AUMC is here.
B. You don't have to search for a charger
C. You have a person having the same type of handset in the vicinity
D. Relax, it is going to recharge all by itself
E. None of these
30. According to the passage, the author's views locally are-
A. not shared by many
B. shared by many
C. contradictory to the fact
D. contradictory to the views of younger generation in India
E. in sync with the views of EC
31. Which of the following is the same in meaning as "scrounge for" as used in the passage?
A. borrow B. give
C. swipe D. rip off
E. negotiate
32. iPod is-
A. welcomed by the present generation B. an old technology
C. considered a 'setting apart' device D. in the same league as Facebook
E. about to work on UMC
33. The tone of the author is¬
A. Positive B. Optimistic
C. Pessimistic D. Technogoggling
E. Sarcastic

Directions (Q.No. 46-57): In the following, a passage as "View" and "Counterview" 011 the same
theme is given. Answer the questions based on these. Some words in the passage are printed in bold
to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
View
First, the good news. With an average score of 42 in the quantitative section of the Graduate
Management Admission Test (GMAT)-used as selection criteria by B-schools across the world Indian
students placed seventh globally, comfortably beating the global average of 37. Now for the bad:
Chinese students topped the list, beating the Indians handily. Given the obsession with China in this
country, this is likely to cause dark warnings about Chinese students and corporate workforce
outdoing their Indian counterparts. But this is a false alarm. Standardised test scores have very little
bearing on the actual academic or professional quality of an individual.
To understand what these scores really signify, one could took at Battle Hymn Of The Tiger Mother,
a book by Chinese-American academic and author Amy Chua on how Chinese mothers raise
successful kids. It is a somewhat alarming account of parental pressure. We have Chua forcing her
seven-year-old daughter to practise piano for hours into the night without being allowed to get up
for water or go to the bathroom. Or calling her "garbage" for being disrespectful-or throwing a
birthday card that her daughter had made for her back and demanding a better one. If this is the
traditional Chinese mode of parenting as Chua says, it is too high a price to pay for a few more points
on a standardised test.
Just as importantly, such fierce focus on a narrow area of student performance ignores many other
skills that are equally useful in academic and professional life. Creativity, cognitive skills the ability to
understand social dynamics and work well with one's peers--these cannot be discounted. And they
are picked up through social engagement and flexible academic structures. Little wonder that
despite having a far lower average on such tests than either India or China; it is still the US that
churns out the largest number of top-notch entrepreneurs and researchers.
Counterview
Our ancestors invented the zero and that's just where we might end up if we continue to be beater]
in mathematics by not only East Asians, but also people not traditionally thought of as numerically
outstanding, such as Turks and Israelis. Nor is it any comfort that Indians do considerably better than
most nationalities including Americans, because of the Indian test-taker's profile.
They belong to our elite-at least economically since they can afford to go abroad-and benefit from
this country's best. They are far more focussed than, for instance Americans, for a variety of reasons.
Most significantly, about 60% of Indian GMAT test-takers are engineers by training as opposed to the
global average of 15%. This means that Indians have the advantage of background, focus and
training. Despite this they are beaten by people statistically unlikely to be engineers, relatively
unmotivated and most likely not hailing from the economic elite in their own countries.
This is deeply troubling because it signals a skills deficit produced almost certainly by the
shortcomings of our education system and this skills deficit threatens our development. Without
highly trained engineers it is unlikely that India will ever be able to build the massive infrastructure
projects needed to life the masses out of humiliating poverty. The goals might have changed from
dams to nuclear power plants, but both still require people highly competent in maths. Do we want
to windup like the UK and US where engineering jobs are the hardest to fill because students flock to
the humanities? Our poverty ensures we cannot afford such luxuries. Numerical skills are an
essential complement to literacy. To be second rate in this area is to lose out on an essential
ingredient of national competitiveness.
46. Which of the following is the main point in the Counterview?
A. India invented zero and we should keep that historical position by doing well in numerical skills
B. If US or UK score higher than India it is OK. But, China?
C. In spite of the elitist profile of our test takers and majority of them being_ engineers, we have not
scored well
