Directions (11-20) : Read the following 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.

Goldman Sachs predicted that crude oil

price would hit $200 and just as it appeared that

alternative renewable energy had a chance of

becoming an economically viable option, the

international price of oil fell by over 70%. After

hilling the all time high of $147 a barrel, a month

ago, crude fell to less than $40 a barrel. What

explains this sharp decline in the international

price of oil ? There has not been any major new

discovery of a hilherlo unknown source of oil or

gas. The short answer is that the demand docs not

have to fall by a very sizeable quantity for the

price of crude to respond as il did. In the short

run, the price elasticity of demand for crude oil is

very low. Conversely, in the short run, even a

relatively big change in the price of oil does not

immediately lower consumption. It takes months,

or years, of high oil price to inculcate habits of

energy conservation. World crude oil price had

remained at over $60 a barrel for most of 2005-

2007 without making any major dent in demand.

The long answer is more complex. The economic

slowdown in the US, Europe and Asia along with

dollar depreciation and commodity speculation

have all had some role in the downward descent

in the international price of oil. In recent years,

the supply of oil has been rising but not enough to

catch up with the rising demand, resulting in an

almost vertical escalation in its price. The

number of crude oil futures and options contracts

have also increased manifold, which has led to

significant speculation in (he oil market. In

comparison, the role of the Organisation of

Pe'troleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in fixing

crude price has considerably weakened. OPEC is

often accused of operating as a cartel restricting

output thus keeping prices artificially high. It did

succeed in setting the price of crude during the

1970s and the first half of the 80s. But, with

increased futures trading and contracts, the

control of crude pricing has moved from OPEC to

banks and markets that deal with futures Irading

and contracts. It is true that most oil exporting

regions of the world have remained politically

unstable, fuelling speculation over the price of

crude. But there is little evidence that the

geopolitical uncertainties in west Asia have

improved to weaken the price of oil. Threatened

by the downward slide of oil price, OPEC has, in

fact, announced its decision to

curtail output. However, most oil importers will

have a sigh of relief as they find their oil import

bills decline except for those who bought options

to import oil at prices higher than market prices.

Exporting nations, on the other hand, will see

their economic prosperity slip. Relatively low

price of crude is also bad news for investments in

alternative renewable energy that cannot compete

with cheaper and non-renewable sources of

energy.

11. Why are oil importing countries relieved ?

(1)Price of crude reached $ 147, not $ 200. as

was predicted

(2)Discovery of oil reserves within their own

territories

(3)Demand for crude has fallen sharply

(4)There is no need for them to invest huge

amounts of money in alternative sources of

energy

(5)None of the above

12. Which of the following factors is responsible

for rise in speculation in-crude oil markets ?

(A) OPEC has not been able to restrict the oil

output and control prices.

(B) The supply of oil has been rising to match

demand.

(C) Existence of large number of oil futures

and oil contracts.

(1) Only (A) (2) Both (A) and (B)

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

(5) None of the above

13. What does the phrase 'the price elasticity of

demand for crude oil is very low' imply ?

(1) When the price rises the demand for crude

oil falls immediately.

(2) A small change in demand will result in a

sharp change in the price of crude.

(3) Within a short span of time the price of

crude oil has fluctuated sharply.

(4) Speculation in oil does not have much of

an impact on its price.


14. Which of the following is/are TRUE in the

context of the passage ?

1. The decline in oil prices has benefited all

countries.

2. Renewable energy sources are costlier than

non- renewable ones.

3. Lack of availability of alternative renewable

energy resulted in rise in demand for crude.

(1) Only (B) (2) Both (A) and (B)

(3) Both (B) and (C)(4) Only (C)

risen.

(2) The dollar has fallen sharply.

(3) OPEC has decided to restrict its

production of oil.

Directions (16 - 25) : Read the following passage

carefully and answer the questions. Certain

words/ phrases arc printed In bold to help you

locate them while answering some of the

questions. Earlier this year. Indonesia's President

promised a 'massive deregulation' aimed at

attracting foreign investment. Outsiders were

thrilled. His predecessor, left the country's

business climate choking on what Adam

Schwarz. a consultant, calls "a regulatory

miasma' that strongly discouraged investment,

whereas the new President, has openly courted

foreign capital. Over the past sit distraction has

unciné a series of deregulatory measures. To

government made It easier for foreigners to open

bank accounts, struck down import restrictions on

goods such as tyres and cosmetics that were

designed to protect local industries, and

eliminated some onerous and silly business reg

if&tlons. No longer, for instance, must Indo-

nesian-language labels be affixed to imported

goods before they arrive; now they can be printed

In Indonesia and attached before public

circulation. The time required to process some

investment permits was cut and taxes were cut for

exporters who deposit foreign-exchange revenue

in Indonesia or convert Into rupiah — a move to

shore up the country's wobbly currency. These

arc the sort of simple, practical measures that are

completely and directly felt by industry and to Its

credit, Indonesia has resisted the temptation to

panic in the face of a plunging currency and

rising bond yields. It has, for instance, maintained

fiscal discipline— aided by a law that caps the

budget deficit at 3%. Markets nonetheless seem

unconvinced. The rupiah continued its slide after

the first two announcements. It has recovered

some ground this month, along with other

emerging-market currencies, but has still fallen

by 8% against the dollar this year. Economic

growth is at its slowest since 2009. Nobody

doubts the new deregulatory measures are oeiicr

wan nothing, but they are hardly "massive". One

foreign businessman, long resident In Indonesia,

assesses them as resulting from "bureaucrats

talking to themselves about how we can be a

better bureaucracy rather than how we can be

more receptive to foreign investment." For the

most part, the President's new measures remove

regulations that should never have been

implemented in the first place. They neither

fundamentally change Indonesia's Investment

climate nor signal to investors that Indonesia is

preparing for bigger reforms. Indonesia's

negative-investment list, which details the sectors

that are barred to foreign capital, remains

sizeable. Hiring foreigners is still a burdensome

process: one rule requires businesses to hire ten

Indonesians for every

foreign worker. Businesses complain that

bureaucrats pass rules hastily, without even trying

to understand their effect on the private sector. A

rule banning metal-ore exports remains In place

and will continue to remain so: it was In tended to

encourage a domestic smelting Industry but

Instead had cost thousands of jobs and billion.' In

export revenue. Infrastructure

development— the centerpiece of regulatory

measures are better than nothing, but they are

hardly "massive". One foreign businessman, long

resident In Indonesia, assesses them as resulting

from "bureaucrats talking to themselves about

how we can be a better bureaucracy

rather than how we can be more receptive to

foreign investment." For the most part, the

President's new measures remove regulations that

should never have been implemented in the first

export revenue. Infrastructure

development— the centrepiece of the President's

ambitious economic plans— has begun to pick

up. but only after severe delays, and the

programme remains well below Its targets for this

year. Perhaps most damaging Is a pervasive sense

of disarray. Policies are announced

and then scrapped, whether because of objections

that should have been aired before, as with a law

to force foreigners to pass a language test, or

because they conflict with other plans, as

happened with a proposed road tax. Ministries

seem to pass rules independently, without

consulting each other or the President

Decentralisation— meaning a huge devolution of

power from the National Government to the

regional level— may have held the country

together in the early 2000s. but today It impedes

infrastructure development and hinders policy co-

ordinatlon. Poor communication from the

President composures these problems. The good

news, as Mr Schwarz notes, "is that country has

come to an Intersection and the

President has said. I've got to do something

different because what we've been doing Isn't

working.' These bold words are welcome. But

bold actions would be better still.

Directions (Q. Nos. 1 -10) Read the following

passage carefully and answer the questions given

below it Certain words have been printed in bold

to help you locate them white answering some of

the questions.

• Indeed the western recession is really the

beginning of good news for India ! But to

understand that we wilt have to move away for a

while from the topic of western recession......to

the Japanese recession ! For years the Japanese

style of management has been admired. However,

over the last decade or so. one key question has

sprung up if Japanese management style is as

wonderful as described then why has Japan been

in a recession for more than a decade? The

answer to this question is very simple. Culture

plays a very important part in shaping up

economies. What succeeds fn one culture fails in

another. Japanese are basically non materialistic.

And however rich they become, unlike others,

they cannot just keep throwing and buying

endlessly. And once they have everything they

need, there is a saturation point. It was only when

companies like Toyota realised that they cannot

keep selling cafes endlessly to their home market

that they went really aggressive in the western

markets and the rest is history. Japanese

companies grew bigger by catering to the world

markets when their home markets shrunk. And

the markets have to shrink finally after attaining a

level of affluence! And that's great for the world !

sauce Earth needs sustainable development. It

does not need monstrous consumers who keep

consuming at the cost of the environment and the

Earth. There should be limits to growth so that

consumers are not converted into material

dustbins for the profit to a handful of

corporations. Owing to the materialistic culture

elsewhere, it was possible to keep selling newer

products to the consumers despite having existing

ones which served equally well. They were lured

through advertising and marketing techniques of

'dustbinisation' of the customer and then finally,

once they became ready customers, they were

given loans and credits to help them buy more

and more. When all the creditworthy people were

given loans to a logical limit, they ceased to be a

part of the market. Even this would have been

understandable if it could work as an eye opener.

Instead of taking the 'Right Step' as Toyota did,

they preferred to take a 'shortcut'. Now banks

went to the non-creditworthy people and gave

them loans. The people expectedly defaulted and

the entire system collapsed. Now, like Toyota

western companies will learn to find new

markets. They will now lean towards India

because of its common man! The billion plus

population in the next 25 years will become a

consuming middle-class. Finally, the world's

attention will shift to the developing , world.

Finally, there will be a real surge in income of

these people and in the next fifty odd years, one

can really hope to see an equal world in terms of

material plenty, with poverty being almost

nonexistent ! And this will happen not by selling

more cars to Americans and Europeans.

It will happen by creating markets in India,

China, Latin America and Africa, by giving their

people purchasing power and by marketing

products for them. The recession has made us

realise that it is not because of worse

management techniques but because of limits to

growth. And they will realise that it is great for

planet Earth. After all, how many cars and houses

must the rich own before calling it enough? It's

time for them to look at others as well. Many

years back, to increase his own profits, Henry

Ford had started paying his workers more, so that

they could buy his cars. In similar fashion, now

the developed world will pay the developing

world people so that they can buy their cars and

washing machines. The recession will kick-start

the process of making the entire world more

prosperous and lay the foundation of limits to

growth in the west and the foundation of real

globalisation in the world the globalisation of

prosperity. And one of its first beneficiaries will

be India I

while answering some of the questions. Rajendra

was a landlord. He had made a lot of money by

cheating and ill-treating his labourers who

worked in the fields. One day, a young man

named Mani came to

Rajendra, asking for work. Rajendra was

pleasantly surprised. No one had ever wanted to

work for him because of his reputation, and here

was someone walking right into his house 1

Mani's next few words surprised him even more.

Mani said, "I will work for you for free. Only

give me a place to sleep, two sets of clothes and

two square meals a day." Rajendra was beside

himself with joy when he heard this and was

about to agree, when Mani added,

"I have only one condition: I will tell you the

truth always, but one day in the year, I will lie."

Rajendra, who lied happily every day of the year,

agreed to this odd condition. So Mani began

working for him. He was a wonderful worker -

hard-working and trustworthy. He was very

honest and soon became Rajendra's right-hand

man. Because of Mani's hard work, Rajendra had

an excellent harvest.He and his wife, Manda,

decided to have a big feast to celebrate. They

invited all their relatives and friends, from the

village and outside as well. Everyone was looking

forward to the delicious feast being planned. On

the morning of the feast, Rajendra decided he

would also give away some gifts to his relatives,

just to show off. So he set offfor the market in his

cart. As soon as he was out of sight, Mani went

running to Manda. He wept loudly and beat his

chest. Then he fell on the floor, sobbing and

announced, The master is dead! The cart

overturned on the road. Out master has been

flattened like a chapatti 1" As soon as Rajendra's

wife and relatives heard this, they started wailing.

Mani rushed out, saying he would bring back the

body, while everyone started preparing for the

last rites. Mani now went running to his master

and said, "Master! Your wife is dead, A cobra bit

her and she fell to the ground, as blue as the

spring sky." Rajendra was stunned. What! His

beloved Manda, his partner in all his schemes,

was dead! He hurried home shouting her name.

Manda too was weeping loudly, sitting in the

courtyard. When she saw her husband run in, she

stopped mid-wail, and Rajendra too stood open

mouthed. Then they fell into each other's arms,

unable to believe their eyes. As one, they turned

to Mani. "What is the meaning of this, Mani? his

master angrily demanded. Mani smiled.

"Remember my condition, that I would lie once

in the year ? Well, I chose today. You see What

lies can do? Now think what happens to the

people whom you lie to every day of the year !"

Saying this, he walked out, leaving behind a

stunned and ashamed landlord.
