D.81-50): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

The five-member NK Singh panel set up to review the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act (FRBM) 2003 has gone about its task in a workmanlike manner, but falls short on breaking new conceptual ground. The burden of its message is that fiscal targets are “operational goals”, or a means to keeping the debt-to-GDP ratio in check. Now at 68 per cent, the panel suggests that the ideal ratio is 60 per cent. To this end, the panel suggests a glide path to reduce the fiscal deficit to 2.5 per cent of GDP by FY 2023. The panel recommends an “escape clause” or deviation from the target (0.5 percentage points) in the event of a recession or agricultural crisis. It suggests the creation of an “independent” fiscal council to manage the fiscal deficit. Yet there is no escaping the feeling that the panel skirts key criticisms of the FRBM law. It has stuck to a conservative approach to managing public debt. That such an approach can constrict the space for public expenditure at a time when private investment is not forthcoming, as over the last five years, needs to be considered. The Approach Paper to the Eleventh Five-Year Plan points out that taking a stern view even of revenue expenditure can be counterproductive for its effect on social spending. The sanctity of the fiscal deficit target of 3 per cent of GDP remains unclear, reinforcing the view that it has been lifted from the Maastricht treaty. This is not to argue that the deficit is irrelevant, but that the macroeconomic context is crucial. The Government must be in a position to turn on the spigots when needed. The dissenting view articulated by Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian needs to be taken seriously. As Economic Survey 2016-17 argues: “A mechanical comparison (of the debt-to-GDP ratio) is not an appropriate way of assessing India’s strength. If fiscal and debt sustainability is about confidence and trust as revealed in the ability and willingness of governments to limit their debt levels and pay them off without disruption…then India’s record is very good.” Subramanian has suggested targeting the primary deficit (the difference between revenue and expenditure excluding interest repayments) instead, since it implies whether the Government is collecting enough revenue to meet its running costs. The Survey points out that at high rates of growth, India’s primary deficit ought to have been lower. The Government “is dependent on growth and favourable interest rates to contain the debt ratio” — an admission of vulnerability to shocks. It is, therefore, important to adjust deficit targets, taking into account the limits of monetary policy in a downturn. Deficit management should be more revenue than expenditure driven. India cannot afford a squeeze on capital and social expenditure. Its tax to GDP ratio of 16 per cent (Centre and States) can surely improve, thanks to GST and other tax reforms.

Q.46) Management of deficit in finance should focus on:

a) Expanding revenue collection.

b) Increase in expenditure.

c) Social concepts.

d) A squeeze on capital.

e) Both (a) and (b).

Q.47) The term ‘primary deficit’ refers to which of the following?

a) The difference between revenue and expenditure including interest repayments.

b) The difference between revenue and expenditure excluding interest repayments.

c) The addition of revenue and expenditure excluding interest repayments.

d) A fixed deficit.

e) None of the above.

Q.48) A strict view of revenue expenditure is likely to affect which of the following?

a) Payment of interest on loans.

b) Balance of Payments.

c) Social spending will be curtailed.

d) The GDP.

e) Both (a) and (c).

Q.49) The term an “escape clause” as used in the passage refers to.

a) An escape from the fiscal goal.

b) A slight deviation from the target.

c) An abnormal deviation from the target.

d) Both (a) and (b).

e) Debt to GDP ratio deviation.

Q.50) An appropriate title to the passage could be.

a) Fiscal Discipline.

b) Fiscal Deficit.

c) Fiscal ambivalence.

d) Financial Constraints of Citizens.

e) Mismanagement of Finance.

D.51-58): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

While India’s focus is riveted upon Pakistan this week, its most important neighbour China is in the middle of a big diplomatic initiative. In a major speech in Beijing on Monday, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the enunciation of “Panchsheel”. For Beijing, the current celebrations are not merely about the relationship with India, They are an occasion to underline China’s new approach to international relations. The anniversary of Panchsheel has become a vehicle for the Chinese leadership to allay fears in Asia about the consequences of a rising China. It is part of a systematic effort in Beijing to rebut the theory of the “China threat”. India, too, is marking the anniversary, but at a lower key. The principles were first elaborated in the preamble to the agreement on Tibet between the two nations signed on June 28, 1954. The principles were fairly simple: mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. In India, there always was some ambiguity about the context in which the Panchsheel was announced. The 1954 Agreement codified the Indian recognition of Tibet’s integration with China. India also gave up the many special privileges in Tibet that it had inherited from the British Raj. But all that is water under the bridge. It might have little to do with China’s diplomatic campaign on Panchsheel. There could be two reasons behind the decision in Beijing to lend such a high political profile to Panchsheel. First is the recognition in China that it must end its silence in the current vigorous international debate between Europe and America on how to structure the post Cold War global order. Emphasising an independent foreign policy, China has until now largely kept itself out of this debate on unilateralism versus multilateralism. In the run up to the Iraq war and after, it was Europe that led the political charge against the Bush administration. While it opposes the unilateralism of the Bush administration, China is not enamoured with the European view on multilateralism. China has no desire to degrade the notion of sovereignty and accept European calls for a supra-national and interventionist U.N. The Panchsheel, in essence, is a state-centric view of the world and India continues to share this Chinese emphasis on state sovereignty. Second, Beijing’s campaign on Panchsheel is aimed at debunking the theory that the rise of China as a major power will inevitably undermine peace and security in Asia and the world. Since late last year Chinese leadership-President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen-have been articulating the proposition that the “peaceful rise of China” will be to the benefit of all in Asia. The Chinese doctrine of heping jueqi — literally means “rising rapidly in a peaceful way” — was developed by a bunch of Shanghai academics. Heping jueqi emphasises that “good neighbourliness and global responsibility” will be at the core of a rising China’s external policy. The Chinese leaders insist that Beijing’s rise in Asia will offer a “win-win” situation for its neighbours by promoting pan-Asian growth. In expounding on the organic linkage between heping jueqi and Panchsheel, Premier Wen tomorrow would argue that unlike the other great powers, China will not seek hegemony. He is also likely to reiterate the proposition that heping jeuqi means putting aside differences on territorial issues and pursuing joint development of disputed areas. The theory of a peaceful rise of China and the celebration of Panchsheel should lead New Delhi and Beijing towards a reordering of their long boundary. The elements of this transformation are an early resolution of the boundary dispute and expanded cooperation across borders. The on-going dialogue between exiled Tibetans and Beijing also promises a political reconciliation in Tibet and reinforces the prospect for Sino-Indian cooperation. The Sino-Indian agreement of 1954, which offered easy access across the border to traders and pilgrims, recognised the commercial and cultural connectivity of the Himalayas. It permitted substantial presence of trade missions from the other side in their own territory and obligated them to develop routes to holy sites. But these elements of the agreement as well as the rhetoric about Panchsheel did not survive the intensity of mutual distrust between the two emerging nations. As they revisit Panchsheel today, India and China are more confident in their own territorial sovereignty. China sees itself as a rising power and India an emerging one. If heping jueqi is right, India and China need not be rivals. They could indeed be partners. But to prove the sceptics wrong, New Delhi and Beijing must come up with more than words. Their emphasis on the principles for a democratic global order will have no meaning if they cannot expand their own cooperation. To be credible on Panchsheel, India and China need to open up the trans-Himalayan regions to each other to create shared prosperity. To get there, they should rework the trade, cultural and consular provisions of the 1954 Agreement on Tibet to suit the new political and economic circumstances.

Q.66) ______________________________. The IT sector not only pulled the GDP up but also came to symbolise young India’s aspirations. With the world now bending towards protectionism, it faces a challenge to its talent-centric, software export model. In recent weeks, a slew of countries, which are estimated to account for three-fourths of the industry’s revenues, have placed stricter rules on their companies getting talent from overseas.

a) The passport rule changes for Indian tech personnel weren’t wholly unexpected.

b) The Australian equivalent of this is the recent junking of what are called the ‘457 visa’ rules.

c) Earlier this month, the U.K. scrapped a category of short-term visas that have been used extensively by Indian companies to get their IT professionals on-site. d) A globalising world enabled the spectacular rise of India’s information technology industry over the last couple of decades.

e) Singapore has reportedly kept approvals for work permits on hold for a while now.

Q.67) To begin with, Bhutan’s objections are environmental, not political, and its government may well change its mind as time goes by. Dry runs have been conducted along the routes, and officials estimate the road links could end up circumventing circuitous shipping routes by up to 1,000 km. Second, Bhutan’s concerns may be assuaged if India considers the inclusion of waterways and riverine channels as a less environmentally damaging substitute. _____________________.

a) According to the government’s most recent survey of the quality of it in India, 10% of all things from ‘government sources’ tested NSQ, or not of standard quality.

b) The main concern expressed by Bhutanese citizen groups and politicians is over increased vehicular and air pollution in a country that prides itself on ecological consciousness.

c) The industry, which employs over 3.5 million people and earns over $100 billion in export revenues, is now navigating a world with walls.

d) Perhaps, Bhutan’s objections may even spur an overhaul of emission standards for trucks currently plying in India, Nepal and Bangladesh.

e) The government must seriously consider using IT tools to network all 36 regulators into one integrated nation.

Q.68) A more pressing question at this stage is whether all generic medicines in India are of equal quality. The U.S. and the European Union have ensured that generic drugs are therapeutically equal to the innovator drug by making bioequivalence (BE) testing compulsory. This means that generic formulations are tested on healthy volunteers to ensure that they have the same physiological characteristics as their innovator counterparts. ________________________.

a) Once bioequivalence is established, a generic drug is legally certified to be of the same quality to replace the innovator product and can therefore be interchanged for the innovator product.

b) These BE studies are much cheaper and carry little risk when compared to clinical trials conducted by the company that gets approval for the innovator product.

c) Even the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Medicines Sans Frontières (MSF) purchase only bioequivalent drugs for their programmes.

d) Until earlier this month, India mandated BE studies for only those formulations seeking approval within four years of the innovator product getting approval.

e) As a result, most generic drug manufacturers sought marketing approval from the fifth year onwards, effectively evading the requirement of conducting BE studies.

a) Fifteen metres into the tunnel, a 63-feet-high shaft opens to the sky and lets a swathe of light cast vague shadows on the inky darkness further ahead, where the water is deep enough to drown a man.

b) The play of water and light streaks the rock face in subtly rich mineral colours: black basalt, pinkish bauxite, umber iron, ochre clay.

c) The vast flatlands outlying Bidar face the brunt of the sun as it bears down on a thinly populated terrain marked by few trees and sparse foliage.

d) Apertures in the towering walls indicate crevices from which, nearly 600 years ago, wicker lamps may have offered light to labouring workers.

e) Harmless water bugs (Aquarius remigis) that help keep the water potable flutter in disarray.

Q.70) In the United Kingdom, police have to prove predicate offence through circumstantial evidence, linking it to the funds generated and laundered. Wherever money laundering is treated as a standalone crime, U.K. agencies are not required to wait for the outcome of investigations into the predicate offence. Also, they are not supposed to prove that the funds are proceeds of a particular offence. ______________________________.

a) Based on enough circumstantial evidence, they have to just establish that the proceeds had a criminal origin.

b) The Central government is considering a proposal to make money laundering a separate criminal offence to be investigated by the Enforcement Directorate.

D.81-50): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

The five-member NK Singh panel set up to review the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act (FRBM) 2003 has gone about its task in a workmanlike manner, but falls short on breaking new conceptual ground. The burden of its message is that fiscal targets are “operational goals”, or a means to keeping the debt-to-GDP ratio in check. Now at 68 per cent, the panel suggests that the ideal ratio is 60 per cent. To this end, the panel suggests a glide path to reduce the fiscal deficit to 2.5 per cent of GDP by FY 2023. The panel recommends an “escape clause” or deviation from the target (0.5 percentage points) in the event of a recession or agricultural crisis. It suggests the creation of an “independent” fiscal council to manage the fiscal deficit. Yet there is no escaping the feeling that the panel skirts key criticisms of the FRBM law. It has stuck to a conservative approach to managing public debt. That such an approach can constrict the space for public expenditure at a time when private investment is not forthcoming, as over the last five years, needs to be considered. The Approach Paper to the Eleventh Five-Year Plan points out that taking a stern view even of revenue expenditure can be counterproductive for its effect on social spending. The sanctity of the fiscal deficit target of 3 per cent of GDP remains unclear, reinforcing the view that it has been lifted from the Maastricht treaty. This is not to argue that the deficit is irrelevant, but that the macroeconomic context is crucial. The Government must be in a position to turn on the spigots when needed. The dissenting view articulated by Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian needs to be taken seriously. As Economic Survey 2016-17 argues: “A mechanical comparison (of the debt-to-GDP ratio) is not an appropriate way of assessing India’s strength. If fiscal and debt sustainability is about confidence and trust as revealed in the ability and willingness of governments to limit their debt levels and pay them off without disruption…then India’s record is very good.” Subramanian has suggested targeting the primary deficit (the difference between revenue and expenditure excluding interest repayments) instead, since it implies whether the Government is collecting enough revenue to meet its running costs. The Survey points out that at high rates of growth, India’s primary deficit ought to have been lower. The Government “is dependent on growth and favourable interest rates to contain the debt ratio” — an admission of vulnerability to shocks. It is, therefore, important to adjust deficit targets, taking into account the limits of monetary policy in a downturn. Deficit management should be more revenue than expenditure driven. India cannot afford a squeeze on capital and social expenditure. Its tax to GDP ratio of 16 per cent (Centre and States) can surely improve, thanks to GST and other tax reforms.

Q.46) Management of deficit in finance should focus on:

a) Expanding revenue collection.

b) Increase in expenditure.

c) Social concepts.

d) A squeeze on capital.

e) Both (a) and (b).

Q.47) The term ‘primary deficit’ refers to which of the following?

a) The difference between revenue and expenditure including interest repayments.

b) The difference between revenue and expenditure excluding interest repayments.

c) The addition of revenue and expenditure excluding interest repayments.

d) A fixed deficit.

e) None of the above.

Q.48) A strict view of revenue expenditure is likely to affect which of the following?

a) Payment of interest on loans.

b) Balance of Payments.

c) Social spending will be curtailed.

d) The GDP.

e) Both (a) and (c).

Q.49) The term an “escape clause” as used in the passage refers to.

a) An escape from the fiscal goal.

b) A slight deviation from the target.

c) An abnormal deviation from the target.

d) Both (a) and (b).

e) Debt to GDP ratio deviation.

Q.50) An appropriate title to the passage could be.

a) Fiscal Discipline.

b) Fiscal Deficit.

c) Fiscal ambivalence.

d) Financial Constraints of Citizens.

e) Mismanagement of Finance.

D.51-58): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

While India’s focus is riveted upon Pakistan this week, its most important neighbour China is in the middle of a big diplomatic initiative. In a major speech in Beijing on Monday, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the enunciation of “Panchsheel”. For Beijing, the current celebrations are not merely about the relationship with India, They are an occasion to underline China’s new approach to international relations. The anniversary of Panchsheel has become a vehicle for the Chinese leadership to allay fears in Asia about the consequences of a rising China. It is part of a systematic effort in Beijing to rebut the theory of the “China threat”. India, too, is marking the anniversary, but at a lower key. The principles were first elaborated in the preamble to the agreement on Tibet between the two nations signed on June 28, 1954. The principles were fairly simple: mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. In India, there always was some ambiguity about the context in which the Panchsheel was announced. The 1954 Agreement codified the Indian recognition of Tibet’s integration with China. India also gave up the many special privileges in Tibet that it had inherited from the British Raj. But all that is water under the bridge. It might have little to do with China’s diplomatic campaign on Panchsheel. There could be two reasons behind the decision in Beijing to lend such a high political profile to Panchsheel. First is the recognition in China that it must end its silence in the current vigorous international debate between Europe and America on how to structure the post Cold War global order. Emphasising an independent foreign policy, China has until now largely kept itself out of this debate on unilateralism versus multilateralism. In the run up to the Iraq war and after, it was Europe that led the political charge against the Bush administration. While it opposes the unilateralism of the Bush administration, China is not enamoured with the European view on multilateralism. China has no desire to degrade the notion of sovereignty and accept European calls for a supra-national and interventionist U.N. The Panchsheel, in essence, is a state-centric view of the world and India continues to share this Chinese emphasis on state sovereignty. Second, Beijing’s campaign on Panchsheel is aimed at debunking the theory that the rise of China as a major power will inevitably undermine peace and security in Asia and the world. Since late last year Chinese leadership-President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen-have been articulating the proposition that the “peaceful rise of China” will be to the benefit of all in Asia. The Chinese doctrine of heping jueqi — literally means “rising rapidly in a peaceful way” — was developed by a bunch of Shanghai academics. Heping jueqi emphasises that “good neighbourliness and global responsibility” will be at the core of a rising China’s external policy. The Chinese leaders insist that Beijing’s rise in Asia will offer a “win-win” situation for its neighbours by promoting pan-Asian growth. In expounding on the organic linkage between heping jueqi and Panchsheel, Premier Wen tomorrow would argue that unlike the other great powers, China will not seek hegemony. He is also likely to reiterate the proposition that heping jeuqi means putting aside differences on territorial issues and pursuing joint development of disputed areas. The theory of a peaceful rise of China and the celebration of Panchsheel should lead New Delhi and Beijing towards a reordering of their long boundary. The elements of this transformation are an early resolution of the boundary dispute and expanded cooperation across borders. The on-going dialogue between exiled Tibetans and Beijing also promises a political reconciliation in Tibet and reinforces the prospect for Sino-Indian cooperation. The Sino-Indian agreement of 1954, which offered easy access across the border to traders and pilgrims, recognised the commercial and cultural connectivity of the Himalayas. It permitted substantial presence of trade missions from the other side in their own territory and obligated them to develop routes to holy sites. But these elements of the agreement as well as the rhetoric about Panchsheel did not survive the intensity of mutual distrust between the two emerging nations. As they revisit Panchsheel today, India and China are more confident in their own territorial sovereignty. China sees itself as a rising power and India an emerging one. If heping jueqi is right, India and China need not be rivals. They could indeed be partners. But to prove the sceptics wrong, New Delhi and Beijing must come up with more than words. Their emphasis on the principles for a democratic global order will have no meaning if they cannot expand their own cooperation. To be credible on Panchsheel, India and China need to open up the trans-Himalayan regions to each other to create shared prosperity. To get there, they should rework the trade, cultural and consular provisions of the 1954 Agreement on Tibet to suit the new political and economic circumstances.

Q.52) “But these elements of the agreement as well as the rhetoric about Panchsheel did not survive the intensity of mutual distrust between the two emerging nations”-this sentence has which of the inferences?

b) The intensity of mutual distrust between the two emerging nations is so overwhelming that the essence and rhetoric about Punchsheeel just evaporated.

In recent weeks, a slew of countries, which are estimated to account for three-fourths of the industry’s revenues, have placed stricter rules on their companies getting talent from overseas.

a) The passport rule changes for Indian tech personnel weren’t wholly unexpected.

b) The Australian equivalent of this is the recent junking of what are called the ‘457 visa’ rules.

c) Earlier this month, the U.K. scrapped a category of short-term visas that have been used extensively by Indian companies to get their IT professionals on-site. d) A globalising world enabled the spectacular rise of India’s information technology industry over the last couple of decades.

e) Singapore has reportedly kept approvals for work permits on hold for a while now.

Q.67) To begin with, Bhutan’s objections are environmental, not political, and its government may well change its mind as time goes by. Dry runs have been conducted along the routes, and officials estimate the road links could end up circumventing circuitous shipping routes by up to 1,000 km. Second, Bhutan’s concerns may be assuaged if India considers the inclusion of waterways and riverine channels as a less environmentally damaging substitute. _____________________.

a) According to the government’s most recent survey of the quality of it in India, 10% of all things from ‘government sources’ tested NSQ, or not of standard quality.

b) The main concern expressed by Bhutanese citizen groups and politicians is over increased vehicular and air pollution in a country that prides itself on ecological consciousness.

c) The industry, which employs over 3.5 million people and earns over $100 billion in export revenues, is now navigating a world with walls.

d) Perhaps, Bhutan’s objections may even spur an overhaul of emission standards for trucks currently plying in India, Nepal and Bangladesh.

e) The government must seriously consider using IT tools to network all 36 regulators into one integrated nation.

Q.68) A more pressing question at this stage is whether all generic medicines in India are of equal quality. The U.S. and the European Union have ensured that generic drugs are therapeutically equal to the innovator drug by making bioequivalence (BE) testing compulsory. This means that generic formulations are tested on healthy volunteers to ensure that they have the same physiological characteristics as their innovator counterparts. ________________________.

a) Once bioequivalence is established, a generic drug is legally certified to be of the same quality to replace the innovator product and can therefore be interchanged for the innovator product.

b) These BE studies are much cheaper and carry little risk when compared to clinical trials conducted by the company that gets approval for the innovator product.

c) Even the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Medicines Sans Frontières (MSF) purchase only bioequivalent drugs for their programmes.

d) Until earlier this month, India mandated BE studies for only those formulations seeking approval within four years of the innovator product getting approval.

e) As a result, most generic drug manufacturers sought marketing approval from the fifth year onwards, effectively evading the requirement of conducting BE studies.

Medicinal ‘chamkora’ fern cluster around the white kaolin (calcium) deposits where the waterline meets the unleavened laterite.

a) Fifteen metres into the tunnel, a 63-feet-high shaft opens to the sky and lets a swathe of light cast vague shadows on the inky darkness further ahead, where the water is deep enough to drown a man.

b) The play of water and light streaks the rock face in subtly rich mineral colours: black basalt, pinkish bauxite, umber iron, ochre clay.

c) The vast flatlands outlying Bidar face the brunt of the sun as it bears down on a thinly populated terrain marked by few trees and sparse foliage.

d) Apertures in the towering walls indicate crevices from which, nearly 600 years ago, wicker lamps may have offered light to labouring workers.

e) Harmless water bugs (Aquarius remigis) that help keep the water potable flutter in disarray.

Wherever money laundering is treated as a standalone crime, U.K. agencies are not required to wait for the outcome of investigations into the predicate offence. Also, they are not supposed to prove that the funds are proceeds of a particular offence. ______________________________.

a) Based on enough circumstantial evidence, they have to just establish that the proceeds had a criminal origin.

b) The Central government is considering a proposal to make money laundering a separate criminal offence to be investigated by the Enforcement Directorate.

c) According to experts, the government will have to bring about several amendments to the PMLA, including the current definition of the “proceeds of crime”.
