Directions (126 – 132): Study the followinginformation carefully and answer thequestions below:An expatriate’s relationship with the hostcountry is a shifting one, and during my eightyears in Western Japan, I have run the wholegamut: Greenhorn – in – Wonderland,hypercritic, “Excuse –me 0 but – you’restanding –in- my Japan,” culture – intoxicate.I am returning to the U.K. at the end of March,but paradoxically, my tie with Japan is due togrow much stronger in mid May when mywife gives birth and I become the father of aninfant Japanese – Briton.This prospect changes everything. Many long– term western expatriates in Japan inhabit an




Edenic state of bourgeois affluence with nostrings attached. We enjoy a comfortablelifestyle, ye remain untroubled by civic duties.We can’t vote, we may lack linguistic fluency,our opinions are presumed to derive from ournational stereotypes, we rarely blip on thenational radar, so we are absolved from caringoverly about where we live. Japan’s problems,except in a Japan watching way, are not ourproblems. However, as someone who intendsto return in five years to put a child throughJapan’s elementary – school system, thecountry’s failings suddenly matter more.My sharpest worry is that nationalhomogeneity continues to be Japan’s modernreligion. There are no degrees of citizenshiphere: if you are not “a Japanese” your gaijinstatus is hammered home at every encounterwith well – meant compliment on yourchopstick skills. This is not an “Expat – as –Victim” article: I know that in the immigrationauthority’s hierarchy of gaijinhood,Causasians have a far easier time than, say,Filipino “Japayukis,” Russian exotic dancersor South American Laborers. My point is thatforeignness is like a magical garment from afolktale, one with the sewn – in – curse that itswearers can’t remove themselves. Only socialconsent will allow my child to feel at home inhis or her Asian mother country.Japan withholds this consent like a zealotwithholds an admission of doubt. At thepolitical level, there is no provision for dualnationality in adulthood, so on his or hertwentieth birthday our child must go throughthe ritual of renouncing British citizenship inthe eyes of British Law. On a civic level, evenHiroshima, my home for eight years andaccording to its tourist literate “theinternational city of peace,” denies Koreanconscripts killed in the A – bomb blast amonument in Peace Memorial Park because itsforeign presence would sully the sanctum’s

purity. “Internationalization,” as oft – quoteda mantra here as anywhere, means little onstreet level beyond flag – bunting, expresswaysigns in English and more Starbucksfranchises.The sea – change necessary to update Japanesesociety’s relationship with the rest of theworld and its people is not on the horizon, notyet. Gerontocracy keeps younger talent awayfrom powers of decision making, resulting ina US – bound brain drain, a Europe/New YorkCity – bound arts drain and more depressingfor a father – to – be, a “dream drain” : apervasive acceptance that a creative andfulfilled life in a human – friendlyenvironment lies only in the Paris of Amelia,the Rome of Audrey Hepburn’s Holiday andthe Canada or Hawaii of Japan Travel Bureaubrochures. An economy gnawed by deflationproduces a climate where xenophobia heatsup, not cools down. Education shouldpropagate multiculturalism but instead fosterscookie – cutter conformity in a marathonsprint to brand name universities which offera woefully shoddy product. If my wife and Ihave a daughter, she may well need to sacrificeall hope of a rewarding career should she electto stay in Japan as it is now. The politicalforces that steered Japan to global dominancein the 1980s are now to kick start the countryback to life, but not dead enough to roll over,expire, and allow their 21st century successorsto take over.This pessimism may be too murky. Japanchanges more by revolution than evolution.The Meiji Restoration of 1868 catapultedJapan into the industrial age in the blink or ahistorian’s eye, as did the post – war economic“miracle” – a word employed by Westerncommentators who failed to see rapid growthcoming. It may be that the demographic andfinancial meltdowns Japan faces protect theenvironment, modernize the economy,




strangle the Yakuza, muzzle corruption andcrucially for my family’s future, usher in abroader definition of what it is to be Japanese.I hope, so I have a strong affection for ourchild’s Asian homeland, an affection that Iwant him or her to share as a native and not acurio. “Ah, so your child will be a Half, “I wastold by my colleagues when they learned ofmy wife’s pregnancy. “No, “I said, “my childwill be a both.”

21. Option BThe least option is 2, 3, 4, 5

22. Option DIf the Government is not ready with the actionplan for disaster management, then it is not




possible to remove distress, hence Course ofaction I is appropriate. If the Governmentpermits development activities which arelikely to cause harm to nature, then naturalcalamities will increase, hence II follows. Ifthe Government appoints a committee ofenvironmentalists and scientists and takesaction accordingly, then it will be beneficial.Hence, Course of action III is appropriate.

23. Option BIf the Government gives allowances to all theunemployed youths, then there will be greatloss of money and they will not think for theirfuture. Hence, I option does not follow. IIfollows because various schemes in differentareas will reduce the unemployment. If theGovernment and society introduce vocationaleducation, it will also reduce unemployment.Hence, Course of Action III follows.

24. Option ACivic authorities should ensure adequatesupply of medicine at normal rates. By this wecan control asthama. Hence, course of action Ifollows. Pollution is caused due to emission offumes from vehicles. Due to this, problem inbreathing is caused and asthama spreads.Hence, controlling pollution is necessary.Hence, II follows but course of action III is notrelated to the statement.

25. Option CCourse of action I follows because onexamining the examination system, the defectsof the education system can be removed.Course of action II also follows because thesystem of education should be so designed asto discourage rote learning.

26. Option C

It is necessary for the Government to followstringent norms for granting permission to themanagement institutes. For the students too, itis necessary to examine the market value ofthe degree while taking admissions. Butcourse of action III is not related to thestatement. Hence, course of action I and II areappropriate.

27. Option CBoth statements are effects of independentcauses.

28. Option BStatement B is the cause and Statement A is itseffect because India’s rank as the fifth mostpowerful country is based on its defensecapability, economic strength, effectivepopulation, technological capability andenergy security among top 50 countries.

29. Option CThe price of ‘silver’ going up from Rs. 27000per kg to over Rs. 50000 per kg and Indianjewelers receiving a lot of demand for thesilver ornaments from American andEuropean clients are effects of independentcauses.

30. Option AStatement A is the cause and Statement B is itseffect.

31. Option EUp to 3 am both pipe fill the tank = 2/4 + 1/5= 7/10 partRemaining 3/10 part is filled in c hours, then(1/4 + 1/5 –1/2)x = 3/10 → x = 6h. Cistern isfilled at 1am + 6hr = 7am

32. Option A33. Option B

Let the filling time for A and B are FA and FB

then both are open for 2½ hr, part filled [1/fA

+ 1/fB] = 5/2 (20 / 15)

Next A is open for 6 , part filled = 20/3 [1/fA]

Since cistern is filled, so[1/3] + 20/3 × [1/fA] = 1




FA = 10 hrs34. Option A35. Option C36. Option C

37. Option E38. Option E

(P + Q)’s 1day work = 1/12. Let Q’s 1 daywork = 1/xP’s 1 day work = 1/12 – 1/x(Q + R)’s 1 day work = 1/15 → R’s 1 daywork = 1/15 – 1/xSince P in twice good as R → P’s days work= 2 × R’s 1 day work( - ) = 2 ( - ) → = - = → x =20

39. Option D40. Option C

Let X & Z together do 1/a work in 1 day,then Y do 1/2a work in 1 day, so1/a + 1/2a = 1/10 = 1 day’s work of (X + Y +Z)a = 15, Y can do in 30 days (= 2a)Y can do half work in 15 days

41. Option ABy visual inspection we can see that option Ais the correct answer.

42. Option ABy visual inspection we can see that option Ais the correct answer.

43. Option DUnderstand the logic that “If a country is undermilitary rule, it will spend maximum ondefence and minimum on either health oreducation” does not mean that if a country is

spending maximum on defence and minimumon either health or education, then it will undermilitary rule.

44. Option DBy visual inspection, we can see that option Dis the correct answer.

45. Option DSince Individual expenditures of the countriesare not given, we can’t determine it.

46. Option A47. Option A48. Option E

A : B : C = (25 lakhs × 1) + (35 lakhs × 2) :(35 lakhs × 2 + 25 lakhs × 1) : (30lakhs × 3)= 95 lakhs : 95 lakhs : 90 lakhs = 19 : 19 : 18

49. Option DSuppose B invested Rs. x for y months. Then,A invested Rs.3x for 2y months.So, A : B = (3x × 2y) : (x × y) = 6xy : xy = 6: 1So, B’s profit : total profit = 1 : 7Let the total profit be Rs. x. Then, =

or x = 2800050. Option A

A : B : C = 27000 : 72000 : 81000 = 3 : 8 : 9So, C’s share : total profit = 9 : 20Let the total profit be Rs. x. Then, =

or x = = 80000

51. Option ATotal number of ways in which 5 people canbe chosen out of 9 people = 9C5 = 126Number of ways in which the couple servesthe committee = 7C3 × 2C2 = 35Number of ways in which the couple does notserve the committee = 7C5 = 21Favorable number of cases = 35 + 21 = 56

Hence, the required probability = =

52. Option EThe word ‘SOFTWARE’ contains 8 differentletters.




When the vowels OAE are always together,they can be supposed to form one letter.Thus, we have to arrange the letters SFTWR(OAE).Now, 5 letters can be arranged in 6! = 720waysThe vowels (OAE) can be arranged amongthemselves in 3! = 6 ways.Required number of ways = (720 × 6) = 4320

53. Option DThe word AUCTION has 7 different letters.When the vowels AUIO are always together,they can be supposed to form one letter.Then, we have to arrange the letters CTN(AUIO).Now, 4 letters can be arranged in 4! = 24ways.The vowels (AUIO) can be arranged amongthemselves in 4! = 24 ways.Required number of ways = (24 × 24) = 576

54. Option DClearly, n(S) = 52C2 =

Let E1 = event of getting both red cards,E2 = event of getting both kingsThen, E1 ∩ E2 = event of getting 2 kings ofred cards.

n (E1) = 26C2 =( × )( × ) = 325 ; n (E2) =

4C2 =( × )( × ) = 6

n (E1 ∩ E2 ) = 2C2 = 1P (E1 ) =

( )( ) = P (E2 ) =( )( ) = P (E1 ∩ E2 ) =

P (both red or both kings) = P (E1 ∪ E2 )= P (E1 ) + P (E2 ) = P (E1 ∩ E2 )= + -

=

=

55. Option BHere, n(S) = 52There are 13 cards of diamond (including oneking) and there are 3 more kings.Let E = event of getting a diamond or a king.Then, n(E) = (13 + 3) = 16

P (E) = =

56. Option BLet their ages be x years and (x + 10) yearsrespectively.Then, (x + 10) - 15 = 2 (x - 15)x - 5 = 2x - 30x = 25So, present age of the elder person = (x + 10)= 35 years

57. Option ALet Ronit’s present age be x years. Then,father’s present age = (x + 3x) years = 4xyears

So, (4x + 8) = (x + 8)

8x + 16 = 5x + 403x = 24x = 8

Hence, required ratio = = = 2

58. Option ATime taken to cover 600 km. = [ ] hrs.

= 6 hrs.

Number of stoppages = - 1

= 7Total time of stoppages = (3 × 7)

min= 21 min

Hence, total time taken = 6 hrs. 21 min.

59. Option BDistance = [1100 × ]

feet= 2420 feet

60. Option C




Total distance travelled in 12 hours = (35 +37 + 39 + …. Upto 12 terms)This is an A.P. with first term, a = 35,number of terms, n = 12, d = 2

Required distance = [2 × 35 +

{12 - 1) × 2]= 6 (70 + 23)= 552 kms.
