Reading Comprehension

Directions (Q.1-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them.

The uneventful visit of the Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani to New Delhi last month has further strengthened the widespread belief that India is losing strategic influence and geopolitical standing as far as its northwestern frontier is concerned, especially Iran and Afghanistan. Just a year ago, during the Karzai presidency, India was the “most favoured nation” in Afghanistan. Today, there is a perceptible change in the new Afghan government’s attitude towards India. For instance, no major agreements were signed during Mr. Ghani’s visit and the India-Afghanistan Strategic Partnership Agreement of 2011, hardly figured in the agenda. Indeed, India’s new northwestern strategic environment, in which the relegation of the Indo-Afghan strategic partnership is merely one element, is undergoing a grand geopolitical transformation, but New Delhi seems to be clueless about how to engage with it. Moreover, it is worrisome that while the most formidable challenges to India’s national security invariably originate from its northwestern frontiers, both historically and presently, the focus of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government has primarily been on the global stage and the country’s southern and eastern neighbours.

The most important element of the new strategic landscape in Southern Asia is the ongoing withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan and the resultant power vacuum, as well as the subsequent rebalancing of forces in the region. China has begun the process of filling the post-American power vacuum, albeit without military involvement for the moment. The withdrawal by the U.S. and the attendant strategic uncertainty could also provide a favourable environment for forces like the Taliban and the Islamic State (IS) to enhance their influence in the region. This clearly worries Kabul. Given the American withdrawal and India’s unwillingness to involve itself militarily in Afghanistan, Mr. Ghani is left with no choice but to engage both Pakistan and China. Moreover, he realises that Beijing is perhaps the only actor today that has some traction in Islamabad. It is this that has led to a flurry of activity among the three countries. On the one hand, China is enhancing its influence in the region with the unveiling of its innovative ‘New Silk Road’ strategy and by offering economic and developmental assistance to Pakistan, while on the other Beijing is also increasingly engaged in regional “conflict management” initiatives by mediating between Kabul and the Taliban, and organising trilateral strategic engagements with Afghanistan and Pakistan. In November 2014, for instance, representatives of the Taliban from its Doha-based office met in Beijing for talks. In February this year, China’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Liu Jianchao, Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry, and the Afghan Deputy Foreign Minister, Hekmat Karzai, met in Kabul for the inaugural round of a new trilateral strategic dialogue. New Delhi has been disappointingly quiet in the face of these strategically significant developments, unable and unwilling to contribute towards stabilising the region.

The second significant component is the newfound warmth between Kabul and Islamabad. Abandoning the trend of public spats, they are now on a path of cooperation and friendship, or so it seems. Immediately after assuming office, Mr. Ghani signalled a desire for reconciliation with Islamabad and Rawalpindi. In his September 2014 “five-circle” foreign policy speech, not only did he place Pakistan in the first circle of countries that are most important to Afghanistan (with India in the fourth circle), but also took the unprecedented step of visiting the Pakistan Army’s headquarters in Rawalpindi, a gesture signifying the deep policy changes under way in Kabul. Pakistan has also been making efforts to strengthen its relationship with Afghanistan; its Army and the intelligence chiefs have already visited Kabul to discuss joint counter-terrorism measures and to enhance the fight against terror. More importantly, given Chinese concerns about terrorism and its increasing influence on its borderlands, the Af-Pak rapprochement will most likely be superintended by China. While this in itself need not concern New Delhi, Islamabad is deeply suspicious of any cooperation between India and Afghanistan. Therefore, the worry in New Delhi that the Af-Pak rapprochement could have zero-sum implications for India is indeed a legitimate one. The third major driver is the mainstreaming of radical Islamist terrorism in the form of the rise of the IS and the resurgence of the Taliban. While the West Asian region is currently the hotbed of Islamist terrorism, the Southern Asian region would not only be a potential target of such forces but also a fertile breeding ground. There are already reports of growing support for the IS in the region and its focus there. The IS has reportedly made some inroads into Pakistan and some Pakistan-based terror outfits have offered their allegiance to the organisation. While there may not be any ideological unity among them, the IS has the dangerous potential of providing a “wave of the future call” to the disparate terror outfits in the region. The IS has also been making recruitments from India; the speech by its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in July last year specifically referred to the “atrocities against Muslims in Kashmir”. For India in particular, the potential resurgence of the Taliban and the rise of the IS have dangerous implications. The belief, in this context, that by merely strengthening its borders, India would be able to survive the scourge of terrorism is a mistaken one.

1.3/10

2.1/120

3.1/70

4.3/70

5. None of these

Answers:

1.  ⇒ Tank filled by pipe A in one hour = 1/8

⇒ Tank emptied by pope B in one hour = 1/12

⇒ Tank filled in one hour =(1/8) – (1/12) = 1/24

⇒ Tank will be filled in 24 hours.

2.  840

3. Let one of the numbers be 5x

∴The other number must be 3x

∴ Difference = 18

∴ 5x - 3x = 18

∴ x = 9

∴The numbers = 45 and 27

∴ Product = 1215

4.

    T = 45 years

5. we know that

Area of the semi-circle = π×r22

Perimeter of semi-circle = π × r + 2× r

According to the question

π × r + 2× r = 66 cm

⇒ r × [π +2] = 66

⇒ r = 12.83

∴ Area of the semi-circle = [π × (12.83)2]/2 = 258.56 cm2

So the correct answer is (5).

6.

Let the Average of age of the 12 persons be x

Average = {(Sum total of individual value of n things) / (total no of things i.e. n)}

Here the formula transforms accordingly to

Now Average of Age = (Sum of Age of all persons / No. of Persons)

⇒ x = (Total Age of all persons / 12)

⇒ Total Age of all persons = 12x

Let the age of new person entering the group be y yrs

According to question one person having Age = y yrs is added to the group while the person having age =41 years left the group, so the total age now becomes = (12x + y- 41)

And new average becomes = (x + 2)

(i.e. 2 more than the original)

⇒ ((12x + y - 41) / 12) = (x + 2)

⇒ 12x + y - 41 = 12x + 24

⇒ y = 24 + 41 = 65

⇒ y = 65

7.   required term is 21.

8. The Cost price of Mixture is

×Price1) + (Weight2×Price2)} / (Weight1 + Weight2)

⇒ {(6.75 × 80) + (8 × 120)} / (80+120)

⇒ {540 + 960} / 200

⇒ 1500/200 = Rs. 7.5/kg

Gain = 20%

Gain% = (Gain × 100)/C.P.

⇒ 20 = (Gain × 100)/C.P.

⇒ (1/5) × C.P. = Gain = S.P. - C.P.

⇒ (1/5) × 7.5 = S.P. - 7.5

⇒ S.P. = 1.5 + 7.5

⇒ S.P. = 9

9.   If P takes 15 days to complete a work

⇒ he will complete (1/15)th of the work in a single day

If Q takes 20 days to complete a work

⇒ he will complete (1/20)th of the work in a single day

If R takes 30 days to complete a work

⇒ he will complete (1/30)th of the work in a single day

Together in a single day amount of work completed = (1/15)+(1/20)+(1/30) = (9/60)

Let P's share of work done = x

x of (9/60) = (1/15)

⇒ (x) × (9/60) = (1/15)

⇒ x = 4/9

Let Q's share of work done = y

y of (9/60) = (1/20)

⇒ y × (9/60) = (1/20)

⇒ y = (3/9)

Let R's share of work done = z

z of (9/60) = (1/30)

⇒ (z) × (9/60) = (1/30)

⇒ z = (2/9)

Distribution of wages as per the work done

P's share = (4/9) × 810 = Rs 360

Q's share = (3/9) × 810 = Rs 270

R's share = (2/9) × 810 = Rs 180

P's Share exceeds Q's share by (360-270) = Rs 90

10

If 4 balls are picked out of 10 balls,

⇒ Sample space n(S)=10C4=210

To get two green and two blue balls,

Favourable Case n(E)=3C2×2C2=3

⇒ Required probability =n(E)n(S)=3210

= 1/70

Hence, the required probability to get two green and two blue balls would be 1/70.
