PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)

The coal situation in India reminds me of the famous

line, "Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink!"

India, with estimated coal reserves of 280 billion tonnes, is

said to be the fifth largest in terms of reserves. Of this, 110

billion tonnes are "proven" reserves. At our current rate of

production, just the proven reserves are enough to carry

on for more than 100 years. But even then, our coalproduction falls short of actual requirements and India

needs to import coal. So, we have 280 billion tonnes of coal

reserves, but inadequate availability!

With demand for electricity greater than supply, the

Indian economy is on the verge of a power crisis. A principal

reason for this is inadequate availability of coal. Coal, as a

fuel, accounts for almost 59% of India's total power

generation (132 GW of a total 226 GW of electricity output

is from coal). Coal is also an input for a large number of

other industries, like iron and steel, cement, fertiliser and

so on.

In 2012-13, total domestic demand for coal was 773

million tonnes while production was 569 million tonnes.The deficit was largely met by imports and almost $16 billion

worth of coal was imported from Indonesia, Australia and

South Africa. This has been happening every year and

such imports are aggravatingthe current account deficit,

one of the reasons why the rupee has been depreciating

against the dollar.

Coal is primarily mined and controlled by Coal India

(CIL), but the current level of mechanisation at the public

sector behemoth is inadequate, compromising the

productivity and efficiency levels and resulting in shortage

of coal. Thus, the scarcity is absolutely artificial. It is

difficult to take a call on which route for assigning coal

blocks is better: allotment or auction. The government of

India had allotted coal blocks on a project-specific basis,

but little support was extended to them in terms of enabling

them to start mining.

Not being able to start mining effectively leads to

cancellation of allotment. On the other hand, it has been

argued that coal being a finite, nonrenewable natural

resource, auction is a better option. But auction of a key

raw material like coal is bound to have an inflationary impact

across the board, be it agriculture, industry or service

sectors. So, allocation of coal blocks must be dealt with in

an intelligent manner, keeping in mind the interest of the

general public.

191. Why does the author say, Water, water everywhere

but not a drop to drink!?

(A) To express his anguish over non-availability ofpure water

(B) To express his concern over underproduction of

coal

(C) To express that India has a vast reserve of poor

quality of coal

(D) None of these

192. Which of the following statements is not true is the

(B) We have 280 bn tonnes of coal reserves.

(C) Indian economy is on the verge of power crisis

due to inadequate supply of electricity.(D) Coal is an output of a large number of industries

like cement, iron and steel, fertiliser and so on.

193. Which of the following is one of the reasons of Indias

current account deficit? Give your answer in the

context of the given passage.

(A) Indias export is more than its import.

(B) India has to pay a huge amount for import of coal.

(C) Export of gold jewellery

(D) Corruption and inflation

194. What is the antonym of the word aggravating as

PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)

Each time the RBI Governor takes the stage to give us

the latest bad news on the economy and interest rates, the

air becomes thick with avian metaphors. When a journalist

said, The policy action is hawkish but the guidance is

dovish. So is not the guidance anti-inflationary?, he drolly

K

KUNDAN

replied: We are neither hawks nor doves but actually owls.

If figuring out this exchange is giving you a mild

headache, may be youd like to know more about how

central bankers came to acquire feathered friends.

Policymakers are tagged as hawks or doves depending

on how aggressive they are in dealing with the challenges

they face. Like the predatory hawk which swoops down

on its unsuspecting prey, hawkish policymakers like to go

on the offensive to tackle a problem. They favour the Wild

West approach shoot and then ask questions.

Dovish policymakers, on the other hand, are more

peace-loving an d pr efer coaxing th e enemy int o

submission. This terminology which originated in the

military has now found its way into the world of money

and finance.

Coming to monetary policy, inflation hawks

aggressively pursue the goal of keeping inflation in check

by ruthlessly subduing it with high interest rates (more on

this later).The doves, on the other hand, have a more benign

view on inflation. They argue that if you keep rates low,

companies will borrow more, put up more manufacturing

units, produce more goods and services. Thus, supply will

eventually catch up with demand, reducing inflation.

Its these birds that call the shots when it comes to the

big macroeconomic decisions that affect a country and its

people. Lets take the case of the RBI.

Suppose the RBI is hawkish believes that inflation

is a worry. What does it do? It promptly increases the repo

rate, the rate at which banks borrow money from the RBI.

Banks in turn try recovering this increase in cost from their

customers in the form of higher loan rates. This workstowards reducing peoples spending people take fewer

loans and buy fewer homes, cars and other things. As

consumption falls, it helps soothe prices. Remember the

textbook definition of inflation: too much money chasing

too few goods. So, if you cant produce more goods quickly,

the next best thing to do is to make people buy fewer goods.

196. How do the dovish policymakers behave with their

enemies?

(A) Like the predatory hawks, dovish policymakers

swoop down on their prey.

(B) They prefer to persuade their enemies into

submission.

(C) They prefer to kill their enemies than to force them

to surrender.

(D) They prefer to transform their enemies into their

friends.

197. What do the economic terms hawksor dovessignify?

(A) Hawks are predatory birds while doves are peace-

loving birds.

(B) Hawks signify agility while doves signify

dullness.

(C) Hawks symbolise cruelty while doves symbolise

gentleness.

(D) Hawks or doves signify the aggressiveness of

the policymakers in dealing with the challenges

they face.

198. What do the hawkish policymakers do?

(A) They try aggressively to keep inflation under

control.

(B) They do not take inflation so seriously.(C) They argue that low interest helps borrowers, who

ultimately produce more goods and eventually

catch up with demands and thus inflation is

contained.

(D) All the above

199. Which of the following is not true in the context of the

given passage?

(A) To contain inflation, RBI increases the repo rate.

(B) The repo rate is the rate at which RBI lends money

to banks.

(C) To compensate the interest burden caused due

to increase in repo rate, banks charge higher rate

of interest from loan borrowers.(D) None of these

107.D; OA and OB are radii.

OAB = OBA

Similarly, OCB = OBC

Now, BOC = 180 60 = 120

Again, AOB = 180 80 = 100

Hence, AOC = 100 + 120 = 220

Now, M + T = 8, M T = 4

So, M = 6 kmph and T = 2 kmph

Now, favourable time =8
