ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Directions (11 – 15): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Two principles are involved in the controversy about the presence of foreign controlled media in the country; the free flow of ideas and images across national borders and the need to safeguard the national interest and preserve cultural autonomy. Both are valid but both are at loggerheads because each has been used to promote less lofty goals. The first principle conforms to a moral imperative: freedom to expression cannot rhyme with restrictions imposed by any government. But the free flow rhetoric also clouds the fact that the powerful Western, and especially American media, can and often do present, subtly or brazenly, news in a manner that promotes Western political, ideological and strategic interests. Besides, Western entertainment programmes present lifestyles and values that run counter to the lifestyles and values cherished by traditional societies. All this explains why so many Indian newspapers, magazines and news agencies have sought protection from the courts to prevent foreign publications and news agencies from operating in the country. Their arguments are weak on two counts. As the bitter debate on a new world information and communication order demonstrated in the late seventies and early eighties, many of those who resent Western ‘invasion’ in the fields of information and culture are no great friends of democracy. Secondly, the threat of such an ‘invasion’ has been aired by those media groups in the developing countries that fear that their business interests will be harmed if Western groups, equipped with large financial and technological resources and superior management skills, are allowed to operate in the country without let.
The fear is valid but it goes against the grain of the economic reform programme. The presence of foreign newspapers and television channels will increase competition, which, in the course of time, can only lead to the upgradation of dynamic Indian newspapers and television channels, even while they drive the rest out of the market. One way to strike a balance between the two antagonistic principles would be to allow foreign media entry into the country, provided the India state treats them at par with the domestic media on all fronts. On the import of technology, for instance, foreign media cannot be allowed duty concessions denied to their Indian counterparts. Foreign media will also have to face legal consequences should they run foul of Indian laws. Why, for example, should the BBC, or Time magazine or The Economist get away by showing a map of Kashmir, which is at variance with the official Indian map? Why should they go scot-free when they allow secessionists and terrorists to air their views without giving the government the right to reply, or when they depict sexually explicit scenes, which would otherwise not be cleared by the Censor Board? Since the government can do precious little in the matter, especially about satellite broadcasts, what if it should consider attaching the properties of the offending parties? Demands of this kind are bound to be voiced unless New Delhi makes it clear to the foreign media that they will have to respect Indian susceptibilities, especially where it concerns the country’s integrity and its culture. It may be able to derive some inspiration from France’s successful attempts in the recent GATT to protect its cinematography industry.

Solutions:
1. B)Let the number be (10x + y), so when the digits of number
are reversed the number becomes (10y + x).
According the question, (10y + x) – (10x + y) = 18
⇒ 9 (y – x) = 18
⇒ y – x = 2
So, the possible pairs of (x, y) are
(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 6), (5, 7), (6, 8), and (7, 9).
But we want the number other than 24. Thus, there are 6 possible numbers, i.e., 13, 35, 46, 57, 68, 79.
So, total number of possible numbers are 6.
2. C)Let the number of persons in building P = p
and the number of persons in building Q = q
If 15 persons are sent from P to Q,
then the number of persons in each building is the same
=> p-15 = q+15
=> p - q = 30 ----(Equation 1)
If 20 persons are sent from Q to P,
then the number of persons in P is double the number of persons in Q
=> 2(q - 20) = (p + 20)
=> 2q - 40 = p + 20
=> 2q - p = 60 ----(Equation 2)
(Equation 1) + (Equation 2)=> q = 90
From Equation 1, p = 30 + q = 30 + 90 = 120
i.e., Building P has 120 persons
3. D)Speed of train1 = 48 kmph
Let the length of train1 = 2x meter
Speed of train2 = 42 kmph
Length of train 2 = x meter (because it is half of train1's length)
Distance = 2x + x = 3x
Relative speed= 48+42 = 90 kmph = 90×10/36 m/s = 25 m/s
Time = 12 s
Distance/time = speed => 3x/12 = 25
=> x = 25×12/3 = 100 meter
Length of the first train = 2x = 200 meter
Time taken to cross the platform= 45 s
Speed of train1 = 48 kmph = 480/36 = 40/3 m/s
Distance = 200 + y where y is the length of the platform
=> 200 + y = 45×40/3 = 600
=> y = 400 meter
4. D)Let the present age of the man and his wife be 4x and 3x respectively.
After 4 years this ratio will become 9:7
⇒(4x+4):(3x+4)=9:7
⇒7(4x+4)=9(3x+4)
⇒28x+28=27x+36
Present age of the man =4x=4×8=32
Present age of his wife =3x=3×8=24
Assume that they got married before t years. Then,
(32−t):(24−t)=5:3
⇒3(32−t)=5(24−t)
⇒96−3t=120−5t
⇒t=24/2=12
5. B)B received 2/3 of profit
Then A received remaining 1/3 of the profit
=> A : B = 1/3 : 2/3 = 1 : 2
Then A’s Capital = x
B’s Capital = x – x/4 = 3x/4
Assume B’s money was used for b months
Then A : B = x/4 x 15 : 3x/4 x b
=> 15x/4 : 3bx/4 = 1 : 2
=> 15 : 3b = 1 : 2 => 15 : 3b = 1 : 2 => 5 : b = 1 : 2 => 5 x 2 = 1 x b => b = 10
6. B)The word ‘just’ implies that it must be assumed that people want ads at the lowest cost. Hence, I is not necessarily true. II is obvious; otherwise why will ads like this be given?
7. A)notice given by the XYZ department clearly mentions the ill-effect Of drinking. The motive behind mentioning the ill-effect must be to restrict drinkers from drinking. Now, how can the motive be fulfilled? Obviously, I must be assumed. II is too specific. Hence, II is not implicit.
8. D)The statement does not mention the specific reason behind the view of the speaker. Hence, both I and II are not implicit.
9. E)How will making it ‘mandatory’ make democracy more meaningful? Obviously, both I and II must be assumed.
10. A)Why has the FAO made such a declaration? Why does it need worldwide efforts? Obviously, it must be assuming the problem quite alarming. Hence, I is implicit. But, II is not necessarily valid.
11. B)The threat being voiced by those whose business will be harmed by such an entry
12. C)It will improve Indian newspapers and television
14. C)Allow entry, treating them on par with domestic media
15. B) 16. B) 17. A) 18. B) 19. B) 20. C) 21. B) 22. B) 23. B) 24. B) 25. A)
