Quality of higher education is emerging as a hugely profitable busi-ness opportunity. A range of private enterprises to fly-by-night operators, are making a beeline for the sector. It is neither feasible nor desirable fpr the state to stem this tide. Rather, the state's role should be to modulate this

enthusiasm to maximize social welfare. The first step should be to dump the fairy tale that education is a sacred mission and cannot be permitted to do business. Allow Companies to run ed-ucational institutions as well-run busi-nesses that have transparent accounts and declare dividends. Entry of pri-vate funds into higher education is not a case for the state to withdraw from the sector. Rather, the state must deep-en its involvement and give it a differ-ent shape. 46. The Government has enough re-

sources to run all the educational institutions.

47. All educational institutions run by private companies provide qual-ity education.

48. Entry of private companies into education sector will benefit the society at large.

49. Many business houses have en-tered education sector to earn visibility in the market.

50. The Government should restrict entry of private companies into education sector. Directions (51-60) : Study the

ENGLISH LANGUAGE Directions (76 - 90) : Read fol-

lowing passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

"We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals. We now know that it is bad econom-ics," said American President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937 in the midst of the Great Depression. And the world has learnt that enlightened self-inter-est is good economics all over again after the Great Recession of 2009. Americans are entering a period of so-cial change as they are recalibrating their sense of what it means to be a citizen, not just through voting or vol-unteering but also through commerce. There is a new dimension to civic duty that is growing among Americans - the idea that they can serve not only by spending time in communities and classrooms but by spending more re-sponsibly. In short, Americans are beginning to put their money where their ideals are.

In a recent poll most said they had consciously supported local or small neighbourhood-businesses and 40 percent said that they had pur-chased a product because they liked the social or political values of the com-pany that produced it. People were alarmed about 'blood diamonds' mined in war zones and used to finance con-flict in Africa. They were also willing to pay $2000 more for a car that gets 35 miles per gallon than for one that gives less, though the former is more expen-sive but environment friendly. Of course consumers have done their own doing-well-by doing-good calculation -a more expensive car that gives; bet-ter mileage will save them money in the long run and makes them feel good about protecting the environment. Moreover since 1995, the number of socially responsible investment (SRI) mutual funds, which generally avoid buying shares of companies that prof-it from tobacco, oil or child labour has grown from 55 to 260. SRI funds now manage approximately 11 percent of all the money invested in the US fi-nancial markets -an estimated $ 2.7 trillion. This is evidence of a changing mindset in a nation whose most iconic economist Milton Friedman wrote in

1970 that a corporation's only moral responsibility was to increase share-holder profits.

At first the corporate stance was defensive: companies were punished by consumers for unethical behaviour such as discriminatory labour practic-es. The nexus of activist groups, con-sumers and government regulation could not merely tarnish a company but put it out of business. But corpo-rate America quickly discerned that social responsibility attracts invest-ment capital as well as customer loyal-ty, creating a virtuous circle. Some companies quickly embraced the new ethos that consumers boycotted prod-ucts they considered unethical and others purchase products in part be-cause their manufacturers were re-sponsible. With global warming on the minds of many consumers lots of com-panies are racing to 'outgrecn' each other. The most progressive compa-nies are talking about a triple bottom line-profit, planet and people - that focuses on how to run a business while trying to improve environmental and worker conditions.

This is a time when the only thing that has sunk lower than the Ameri-can public's opinion of Congress is its opinion of business. One burning ques-tion is how many of these Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives are just shrewd marketing to give com-panies a halo effect? After all only 8 per cent of the large American corpo-rations go through the trouble of veri-fying their CSR reports, which many consumers don't bother to read. And while social responsibility is one way for companies to get back their repu-tations consumers too need to make ethical choices. 76. Which of the following represents

the change/s that has/ have oc-curred in the American outlook? (A) The perception that the gov-

, ernment needs to invest re-sources in business rather than in education.

(B) Loss of faith in American cor -porations as they do not dis-burse their profits equitably among shareholders.

(C) Americans have cut down on their expenditure drastically to invest only in socially re-sponsible mutual funds.

(1) None (2) Only (C)

(3) Only (A) and (B) (4) Only (A) and (C) (5) All (A), (B) and (C)

77. Which of the following is/are TRUE in the context of the pas-sage ? (C) The voter turnout during the

2009 American elections was high.

(B) African diamonds are highly valued by the American pub-lic.

(C) American firms have to spend vast amounts on advertising because activists cast asper-sions on their images.

(1) None (2) Only (A) (3) Only (B) and (C) (4) Only (C) (5) Only (A) and (C)

78. To what does the author attribute the consumers' willingness to purchase environment friendly vehicles ? (1) Auto companies sell these

types of vehicles at lower rates in order to boost sales in times of recession.

(2) The realisation that consum-ers' greed caused the eco-nomic recession of 2009.

(3) To show their support for small entrepreneurs who are the manufacturers of such vehicles.

(4) They have to comply with government guidelines re-garding reduction of carbon emissions.

(5) None of these 79. Which of the following is the cen-

tral idea of the passage ? (1) It is beneficial to invest in

American companies as they are socially responsible and profitable

(2) Large corporations should be penalised by the American government for their greed

(3) Ethical consumerism is prof-itable for organisations as well as society as a whole

(4) Companies should be re-quired by law to account for their impact on the environ-ment, in their balance sheet

(5) Developing countries should learn how to combat child la-bour from America

www.examrace.com

80. Which of the following best de-scribes the widespread view among Americans about big cor-porations ? (1) They have been lax in fulfill-

(3) Their innovations have brought commercial success and benefited America tre-mendously

(4) They need to be held account-able for their ruthless busi-ness practices

(5) Their balance sheets are of-ten fraudulent and deceive shareholders

81. What is the author trying to con-vey through the phrase 'compa-nies are racing to outgreen each other' ? (1) The competition among com-

panies to boost their bottom line - profit, planet and peor pie - is very stiff

(2) The conflict facing business-es of whether to benefit their shareholders or the environ-ment

(3) Corporations are vying with each other to solicit invest-ment

(4) Companies are striving to find the necessary funds to fi-nance their environment friendly initiatives

(5) None of these 82. Which of the following factors has

led to corporations adopting more socially responsible practices ? (1) The desire to be labelled as

progressive by the govern-ment

(2) Guilt over causing the eco-nomic downturn

(3) High attrition rates as employ-ees do not support the com-panies' practices

(4) Recognition of the changing demands of customers

(5) Strict penalties imposed by governments against compa-nies with unfair practices

83. What can be inferred from the statistics mentioned about SRI mutual funds in the passage ?

61. (4) In each subsequent figure the designs move in anticlockwise di-rection and one new design is in-troduced. After every two figures one side of square is deleted.

62. (2) The top design is based on the rule (1) = (3) = (5) and hence (2) = (4) = (6). The shaded portion of the left design moves one step in clock-wise direction. The shaded portion of the right design moves one step in clockwise direction after every two figures. The shaded part of the lower design moves half step in clockwise direction.

63. (5) After every two figures one new design is introduced at the upper left corner and all the designs move half step in anticlockwise direction after being rotated through 90 anticlockwise and showing lateral inversion.

64. (3) The two smaller line segments rotate in anticlockwise direction and the curve moves to the oppo-site side after being inverted. From Problem Figure (2) to (3) one more curve is added and it disappears in the next step.

65. (1) From Problem Figure (1) to (2) the design moves one step in anticlockwise direction and one new design appears behind the pre-exiting design. From Problem Fig-ure (2) to (3) the designs move one and one-half steps in anticlockwise direction and one new design ap-pears behind the pre-existing de-signs. The similar changes occur from Problem Figure (4) onwards.

66. (3) From Problem Figure (1) to (2) the design rotates through 45 anticlockwise and one of the smaller designs is replaced with new design. Similar changes occur from Problem Figure (3) to (4) and from Problem Figure (5) to Answer Figure.

67. (2) This Problem is based on the rule (1) = (5) and hence (2) = (6).

68. (3) In each subsequent figure the line segment moves one step in clockwise direction and the small-er line segment moves along the larger line segment. The other de-sign rotates through 90 anticlock-wise and in the first step one line segment is deleted but appears in the next step.

69. (5) From Problem Figure (1) to (2) all the designs move one-half step in anticlockwise direction, the first and the last designs interchange positions and the first design is replaced with a new design. From Problem Figure (2) to (3) all the designs move one-half step in an-ticlockwise direction and the third and the last designs move to the second and the first position re-spectively and the first design is replaced with a new design. These two steps are continued alternate-ly in the subsequent figures.

70. (1) From Problem Figure (1) to (2) the designs descend half step and the right design moves to the left position while the design at the right position is replaced with a new design. Similar changes occur from Problem Figure (2) to (3) and these two steps are continued from Prob-lem Figure (4) onwards.

71. (1) In the subsequent figures the designs move from left to right stepwise and from right to left in one step. Again, the positions of designs change as given below: (1) to (2) (2) to (3)

These two steps are continued al-ternately in the subsequent fig-ures.

72. (1) The triangle move one step in clockwise direction, rotates through 90 clockwise alternately and the shaded part moves to the other side. The other design rotates through 40 and 90 anticlockwise alternately.

73. (4) In each subsequent figure one curve is added in a set order.

74. (2) In each subsequent figure the line segment moves one step in clockwise direction after being ro-tated through 90 clockwise. The other design descends diagonally stepwise and ascends in one step. The triangle moves along the square.

75. (2) In each subsequent figure one new design appears at the upper left corner and the design of the upper left coiner moves to the low-er right corner while other designs

move one-half step and the upper middle design descends and repli-cates.
