121. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words / phrases have been
printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. The modern world requires us to
repose trust in many anonymous institutions. We strap ourselves in a flying tin can with two hundred other people not
because we know the pilot but because we believe that airline travel is safe. Our trust in these institutions depends on
two factors: skills and ethics. We expect that the people who run these institutions known what they are doing, that
they build and operate machines that work as they are supposed to and that they are looking out for our welfare even
though we are strangers. When one of these factors is weak of absent, trust breaks down and we either pay a big
price in safety – as in the Bhopal tragedy – or a large 'welfare premium' such as the elaborate security measures at
airports. Trust-deficient environments work in the favour of the rich and powerful, who can command premium
treatment and afford welfare premiums. Poor people can command neither which is why air travel is safer than train
travel, which safer then walking by the road side. Every modern society depends on the trust in the skills and ethics of
a variety of instructions such as schools and colleges, hospitals and markets. If we stopped believing in the expertise
of doctors and engineers, we will stop being a modern society. As the institution among institutions, it is the duty of
the state to ensure that all other institutions meet their ethical obligations The ‘Indian state has failed in its
regulatory role’. Consequently, we cannot trust our schools to turn out good graduates, we cannot trust our schools to
turn out good graduates, we cannot ensure that our colleges turn out well trained engineers and we cannot graduate
that our engineers will turn out to be good products. Last year, I was invited to speak at an undergraduate research
conference. Most of the participants in this conference were students at the best engineering colleges in the State.
One student who was driving me back and forth recounted a story about the previous year's final exam. One of his
papers had a question from a leading textbook to which the textbook's answer was wrong. The student was in a
dilemma: should he write the ong) answer as given in the textbook or should he write the answer using his own
analytical skills. He decided to do and received a zero on that question. Clearly, as the student had suspected, the
examiners were looking at the textbook answer while correcting the examination papers Verifying its correctness. The
behaviour of these examiners is a breakdown of institutional morals, with consequences for the skills acquired by
students. I say institutional morals, for the failure of these examiners is not a personal failure. At the same
conference! met a whole range of college teachers, all of whom were drafted a examiners at some time or the other.
Without exception, they were dedicated individuals who cared about the education and welfare of their students.
However, when put in the institutional role of evaluating an anonymous individual, they fail in fulfilling their
responsibilities. When some of our best colleges are run in this fashion, is it any wonder that we turn out unskilled
engineers and scientists? If, as we are led to expect, there is a vast increase in education at all levels and the
regulatory regime is as weak as it is currently, isn't it likely that the trust deficit is only going to increase? We are all
aware of the consequences of ignoring corruption at all levels of society. While institutional failures in governance are
obvious, I think the real problem lies deeper, in the failure of everyday institutions that are quite apart from
institutions that impinge on our lives only on rare occasions. It is true that our lives are made more miserable by
government officials demanding bribes for all sorts of things, but what about the everyday lying and cheating and
breaking of rules with people who are strangers? Let me give you an example that many of us have experienced. I
prefer buying my fruits and vegetables from roadside vendors rather than chain stores. To the vendor, I am probably
an ideal customer, since I do not bargain and I do not take hours choosing the best pieces, instead, letting the vendor
do the selecting. The market near my house is quite busy; as a result, most vendors are selling their wares to
strangers. It takes a while before a particular vendor realises that I am a repeat simple rule: if a vendor palms off a
bad piece whose detects are obvious, I never go back to that person again. It is amazing how often that happens. In

my opinion, the failure of institutional ethics is an much about these little abuses of trust as anything else. Everyday
thievery is like roadside trash, if you let it accumulate the whole neighbourhood stinks. Why, according to the author,
is the behaviour of examiners a breakdown of institutional morals?

(A) As the institution encourages examiners to give as little marks to students as possible

(B) As the institution is responsible for not encouraging examiners to venture outside the rote process

(C) As the examiners are told to discourage students from being creative by the institution

(D) As the institution fails to provide adequate compensation to these hardworking examiners

134. Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions given below it. PASSAGE I : Despite the
economic crunch worldwide that saw pulverization of some of the largest banking and finance giants, Indian banking
houses have managed to show positive growth this quarter. Some of India's leading national banks have posted a net
profit rise of more than 40% over the last quarter amid global turmoil. This would come as a big shot in the arm for the
investors and consumers of these banks even though apprehension is mounting on other banking and broking firms
worldwide. One of the main reasons behind the success of these banks this quarter would be their direct banking by
the Government India. People take solace in their investments in public sector watching the bailout packages being
cashed out by governments all over the world to save big business houses. PASSAGE II : Other private banks in India
have also reported a substantial net profit over the last quarter. Given the international and domestic scenario, one
cannot put this down as a mundane achievement. While others are on a cost cutting spree and firing employees,
Indian Companies are actually working on boosting staffing in banking and broking sectors. This can be seen as a big
boon in the days to come when the current recession eases and the economy gradually comes back on to the fast
track. The finance minister has assured Indian public about the sound health of all Indian banks. This could also be
evident from the fact that there have been no mergers and takeovers in Indian Banking sector in a contrast to world
scenario where finance houses are looking for mergers to cut costs on operations. We definitely are not looking to
thrive; rather we are looking for growth, It is just that the pace of growth is a little slow now as compared to a year or

evident from the fact that there have been no mergers and takeovers in Indian Banking sector in a contrast to world
scenario where finance houses are looking for mergers to cut costs on operations. We definitely are not looking to

(B) India is surging ahead of the other companies throughout the world

(C) After the recession is over international companies will turn to India for investments
