One
of the important humanitarian by-products of technology is the greater
dignity and value that it imparts to human labour. In a highly industrialized

and Hindu; they are equally useful and hence equally valuable for in the
industrial society individual productivity fixes the size of the pay cheque
and this fixes social status.

The
future of women in India is quite bright and let us hope that they will

The
press should not be afraid of upholding and supporting a just and righteous
cause. It should not be afraid of criticising the government in a healthy
manner. The press has to be eternally vigilant to protect the rights of the
workers, backward and suppressed sections of the society. It should also give
a balanced view of the things so that people can be helped in the formation
of a healthy public opinion.

|
A.

The
only true education comes through the stimulation of the child's powers by
the demands of the social situations in which he finds himself. Through these
demands he is stimulated to act as a member of a unity, to emerge from his
original narrowness of action and feeling, and to conceive himself from the
standpoint of the welfare of the group to which he belongs.
The passage best supports the statement that real education -
|
A.
|
will take place if the
children imbibe action and feeling.
|
B.
|
will take place if the
children are physically strong.
|
C.
|
is not provided in our
schools today.
|
D.
|
comes through the
interaction with social situations.
|
E.
|
comes from the
self-centred approach of the students.

Exports
and imports, a swelling favourable balance of trade, investments and
bank-balances, are not an index or a balance sheet of national prosperity.
Till the beginning of the Second World War, English exports were noticeably
greater than what they are today. And yet England has greater national
prosperity today than it ever had. Because the income of average Englishmen,
working as field and factory labourers, clerks, policemen, petty shopkeepers
and shop assistants, domestic workers and other low-paid workers, has gone
up.
The passage best supports the statement that:
|
A.
|
a country's economic
standard can be best adjudged by per capital income.

B.
|
a country's balance of
trade is the main criteria of determining its economic prosperity.
|
C.
|
a nation's economy
strengthens with the increase in exports.
|
D.
|
English trade has continually
increased since the Second World War.

Satisfaction
with co-workers, promotion opportunities, the nature of work, and pay goes
with high performance among those with strong growth needs. Among those with
weak growth needs, no such relationship is present - and, in fact,
satisfaction with promotion opportunities goes with low performance.
This passage best supports the statement that:
|
A.
|
satisfaction is an
inevitable organisational variable.
|
B.
|
job satisfaction and
performance are directly and closely related.
|
C.
|
relationship between
job satisfaction and performance is moderated by growth need.
|
D.
|
every organisation has
few employees having weak growth need.
|
E.
|
high performance is
essential for organisational effectiveness.

It
is up to our government and planners to devise ways and means for the
mobilisation of about ten crore workers whose families total up about forty
crore men, women and children. Our agriculture is over-manned. A lesser
number of agriculturists would mean more purchasing or spending power to
every agriculturist. This will result in the shortage of man-power for many
commodities to be produced for which there will be a new demand from a
prosperous agrarian class. This shortage will be removed by surplus man-power
released from agriculture as suggested above.
The passage best supports the statement that:
|
A.
|
employment in
production is more fruitful than employment in agriculture.
|
B.
|
Indian economy is in a
poor shape basically due to improper mobilisation of man-power.
|
C.
|
a shift of labour from
agricultural sector to the industrial sector would uplift the living
standard.
|
D.
|
the industrial sector
is labour-deficient while the agricultural sector is over-manned in our
country.
