Information for questions 63 to 66: Read the paragraphs given below and answer the following
questions.
63. Aristotle argued that anger has a place in the good life. He asked how a soldier could face the
charge of the enemy unless he had anger in his blood. Anger is driven by pain, he said. And when
that pain stems from the consciousness of being wronged, it can be the midwife of virtue. Clearly
anger can boil over; the angry individual risks losing control. But that does not deny the value of
anger.
Which one of these can be inferred from the given paragraph?
(1) An angry young man risks losing everything whereas an older man does not have much at
stake, so he can bear the repercussions of his own anger.
(2) Pain drives anger that is bottled up inside a person and this anger leads to losing control over
ones mind and actions.
(3) One needs to direct ones anger in the appropriate direction only then one can truly comprehend
the value of anger.
(4) The true representation of a good life is where the individual is free from pain and anger.
64. Most of us dont need to be taped to find which ice cream freezer we are circling. To identify
self-defeating actions think of a goal that you are having trouble in reaching. Then keep a note of the
behaviors that have to do with that goal. If you cant stick to a budget, jot down every time you walk
past a store just to see what is on sale, then ask why you are making those detours. If you find that
you are unthinkingly tripping yourself up whether by eating an ice-cream or making an impulse
buy you maybe using these actions to find comfort. Once you are what you are really after, you
will be less likely to get in the way of your goals psychologist Faith Bethelard.
Which of the following must have prompted Mr. Bethelard to suggest this course of action?
(1) On seeing a woman on diet who was circling an ice cream refrigerator.
(2) On observing that many people arent aware of how they sabotage their own goals.
(3) On observing the number of people who jump into a store and impulsively buy at a sale.
(4) On observing that people dont realize or dont know what their goals are.
65. Researchers have found that some of the children of light-drinking mothers appeared to be doing
better than the babies of those women who abstained from drinking during pregnancy. Boys born to
mothers who drank lightly were 40% less likely to have conduct problems and 30% less likely to be
hyperactive, even when the differences between social and economic circumstances were taken
into account. They also scored more highly in vocabulary tests and were better able to identify
shapes, colours, letters and numbers. The research has the authority of a large study - it involved
12,495 children.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubts on the validity of the findings of the
research?
(1) There is a possibility that childrens better performance may be linked to their family backgrounds
that have not been taken into account by the researchers.
(2) Girls born to lightly drinking women are 30% less likely to have emotional or peer problems.
(3) Health specialists and doctors are, however, hesitant to advise women to consume alcohol in
minute quantities.
(4) The study has been able to throw light on the fact that light drinking mothers tend to be more
relaxed which contributes to better behavior and cognitive response in their children.

66. Adult female rats that have never before encountered rat pups will start to show maternal behaviors
after being confined with a pup for about seven days. This period can be considerably shortened by
disabling the females sense of smell or by removing the scent-producing glands of the pup.
Which of the following theories best explains the contrast described above?
(1) The sense of smell in adult female rats is more acute than that of rat pups.
(2) Female rats that have given birth are more affected by olfactory signals than are female rats that
have never given birth.
(3) A female rat that has given birth shows maternal behavior towards rat pups that she did not bear
more quickly than does a female rat that has never given birth.
(4) The development of a female rats maternal interest in a rat pup that she did not bear is inhibited
by the odor of the pup.

Information for questions 71 and 72: Read the paragraphs given below and answer the following
questions.
71. Bad reputation of most firms is caused due to lack of good quality products and complete disregard
for its existing customers. If companies wish to address the issue then they need to act quickly and
upgrade their products and customer service divisions. Therefore, it is essential for companies to
gain favour from existing customers in order to increase their overall customer base and consequently
make profits.
Which of the following statements considerably strengthens the above argument?
(1) Once a companys goodwill is destroyed, it is impossible to gain any respect from the customers.
(2) It is advisable to study consumer behaviour and preferences prior to making alterations in the
products and services.
(3) It is easier to gain customers confidence when the company shows improvements and
rectifications in its products and services.
(4) Only upgrading products quality is enough to maintain the lost goodwill of the company.
72. An inaccurate and false reporting of scientific research results and discoveries can hamper the
society. Misreporting of science questions the credibility of the scientific, as well as, the media
community. Also, misinterpretations can lead to panic among people. There can also be a negative
impact on the researchers who may prefer to get back to the research rather than clarifying the
issue. Therefore, it is essential to control the media in order to maintain its credibility in the
publics view.
Which of the following accurately projects the opinion of the author?
(1) Media should be completely banned from news reporting as they fail to report accurately on any
important issue
(2) Public should not try to understand the implications of scientific discoveries that are beyond its
understanding
(3) Reporting of scientific research should be done solely by the scientists as it bridges the gap
between the scientific community and the public
(4) Confusion and misinterpretation of scientific research can be minimized through accurate reporting.

Water extracted from sources like river, lake, canal etc. is purified for domestic supply at water treatment
plants. From treatment plants it is pumped to various destinations through pipelines. There are pumping
stations, at intermediate towns to maintain recommended pressure in the pipelines. The pumping stations
do not extract or process any domestic water. They pump out exactly the quantity they receive from
treatment plants or other pumping stations. The following figure depicts a network of pipelines. The circles
denote the location of treatment plants, pumping stations or towns with big domestic water demand. One

Information for questions 83 and 84: Read the paragraphs given below and answer the following
questions.
83. Indiscipline in the classroom is a consequence of lack of control on the part of a teacher and
insufficient knowledge of the subject. If indiscipline has to removed then this is possible only with
the presence of a strict teacher who is an expert in the subject matter. Therefore, schools should
appoint only those teachers who are experienced professionals and can redefine classroom
management.
The alternatives suggested (not necessarily all), if true, considerably weaken the argument. However,
one of them is most forceful. Identify the same.
(1) It is not redefining classroom management that is required, rather effectively implementing existing
principles of classroom management.
(2) A teacher who takes a class without any imposition of control manages best.
(3) It is possible to lessened indiscipline by providing value education lessons to students.
(4) Only debating freely in a classroom can remove indiscipline.
84. The existence of mandatory requirements for teaching such as a B.Ed degree is not responsible for
the acute shortage of teachers in schools. A major factor responsible for this is that the pay scale of
teachers are very low and this acts as a deterrent for those considering the teaching profession as
a career. Other options prove to be much more lucrative.
Which of the following, if true, strengthens the argument in the passage?
(1) Many teachers, already employed, would not have been employed by schools if the current
legal requirements were considered.
(2) Most of those entering the teaching profession are highly educated in comparison to standards
in the past.
(3) A recent survey has concluded that many teachers are leaving the profession because of the low
pay scales.
(4) Some teachers feel that compulsory qualifications like the B.Ed are responsible for shortage of
teaching staff.

Passage 1 (Q. 99 - 105):
In a study conducted by us, looking at the profile of 100 squint patients seeking treatment at Christian
Medical College and Hospital (CMC&H) over a two-year period, we found that more than 80 percent patients
were older than five years of age. About 41 percent patients came to the hospital more than five years after
noticing squint. One fifth of the patients had amblyopia, says Dr Satish Thomas, associate professor, at
the CMC&H, adding, This suggests awareness about squint and its complications, especially the need for
early intervention, is quite poor among the general public of Ludhiana and its neighbouring districts.
It is bothering to see that in this scientific age, squint or crooked eyes is considered by many superstitious
communities to be a sign of good luck. says Dr Satish Thomas, who is a pediatric ophthalmologist. In
case of squint, one eye looks straight ahead while the other is deviated. Majority of the cases are determined
genetically even if all of them are not present at birth and even if no one in the family has an obvious squint.
One very common type of inward deviation develops because of not wearing spectacles when it is needed.
Some deviations occur because the vision in one eye is very poor.
The most obvious problem due to squint is the cosmetic aspect. Apart from looking bad on a persons
face, it can severely affect the patient psychologically. If it happens in case of a child, this can have far-
reaching consequences in the childs whole outlook to self, society and life in general, he said. While the
cosmetic aspect is the most troubling to the patient, it is the probably the least important one from the
ophthalmologists viewpoint. For, there are even more important considerations. One, the child with squint
can have loss of vision in one eye due to lazy eye. Secondly, any person with squint loses the ability to
appreciate objects in three dimensions. This ability to appreciate depth is because both eyes function
together. It is important that squint be treated as early as possible (ideally before two years of age); the
longer the delay, the worse will be the chances of vision, especially the ability to appreciate depth.
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is the eye condition which may be caused by constant strabismus
(constant turn of one eye), anisometropia (different vision/prescriptions in each eye), and/or blockage of an
eye due to cataract, trauma, lid droop, etc. It is noted by reduced vision not correctable by glasses or
contact lenses and is not due to any eye disease. The brain, for some reason, does not fully acknowledge
the images seen by the amblyopic eye. This almost always affects only one eye but may manifest with
reduction of vision in both eyes. Amblyopia is a neurologically active process. In other words, the loss of
vision takes place in the brain. If one eye sees clearly and the other sees a blur, the brain can inhibit (block,
ignore, suppress) the eye with the blur. The brain can also suppress one eye to avoid double vision. The
inhibition process (suppression) can result in a permanent decrease in the vision in the blurry eye that can
not be corrected with glasses, lenses, or lasik surgery. It is estimated that three percent of children under
six have some form of amblyopia. Generally speaking, the younger the age at which amblyopia is treated;
the better is the chance of recovery of vision.

Many people make the mistake of saying that a person who has a crossed or turned eye has a lazy eye,
but amblyopia and strabismus are not the same condition. Some of the confusion may be due to the fact
that an eye turn can cause lazy eye. In other words, amblyopia can result from a constant unilateral
strabismus (i.e., an eye that turns or deviates all of the time). Alternating or intermittent strabismus (an eye
turn which occurs only some of the time) rarely causes amblyopia. While a deviating eye (strabismus) can
be easily spotted by the layman, amblyopia without strabismus or associated with a small deviation
usually can be not noticed by either you or your pediatrician. Only an eye doctor comfortable in examining
young children and infants can detect this type of amblyopia. This is why early infant and pre-school eye
examinations are so necessary. Remember that the child would never grow out of squint or amblyopia.
99. Which of the following can be inferred from the information given in above passage?
(1) Approximately 6% of children who are older than five years of age, have strabismus.
(2) General public of Ludhiana assumes that a baby born with the squint condition, would have to
undergo several potentially dangerous operations from a young age.
(3) General public of Ludhiana assumes that even after an eye surgery, any person with squint will
have only marginal improvement and the person remains cosmetically imperfect.
(4) It is a mistake to wait till the child grows older for surgery, because by then childs vision
might be lost, except a chance for cosmesis (the restoration, or bestowing of bodily beauty).
100. What can be inferred about considering squint as a sign of good luck?
(1) It is an old heave-ho and has no basis.
(2) It is to believe in an old wives tale.
(3) It is to accept the complexity of the disease in a wise way.
(4) It is to snub the complexity of the disease in a foolish way.
101. Which of the following provides the best definition for Amblyopia ?
(1) Amblyopia is poor vision caused by abnormal growth of visual areas of the brain in response to
abnormal visual stimulation during early development.
(2) Amblyopia is dimness of sight only in one eye without apparent change in the eye structures
also called lazy eye and is caused due to any eye disease.
(3) Amblyopia is opaqueness of sight in both eyes without apparent change in the eye structures
and three percent of children under six have some form of it.
(4) None of the above.
102. Which of the following can be safely concluded about Strabismus?
(1) Pseudo strabismus is associated with certain children who may appear to have strabismus
when, in fact, they do not.
(2) Strabismus can outgrow the rest of the face.
(3) Strabismus can improve by itself.
(4) Strabismus can be an isolated problem or it can be associated with certain other medical
and genetic problems.

103. As per passage, which of the following can be said true about Strabismus and Amblyopia ?
(1) Due to misunderstanding or misuse of the terms for different visual conditions (i.e., deviating
eyes vs. lazy eye), many eye patients might be inaccurately labelled as having a deviating
eye.
(2) Due to misunderstanding or misuse of the terms for different visual conditions (i.e., deviating
eyes vs. lazy eye), many eye patients might be inaccurately labelled as having a lazy eye.
(3) A lazy eye restores vision as the child grows, however, a deviating eyes does not restore t h e

Passage 2 (Q. 106 - 112):
While most people agree that the Golden Age of comic books began with the introduction of Superman in
1938 in Action Comics #1, there is less agreement about when exactly the Golden Age ended. There is a
general consensus, however, about the factors that brought the Golden Age to a close: the rise of the horror
comic book in the late 1940s, and the resulting backlash against comic books in the early 1950s.
Superhero comic books reached their peak of popularity in the early 1940s because of all the GIs in Europe
and Japan who eagerly read about Superman, Batman, and The Spirit. When these soldiers came home,
they still wanted to read comic books, but they sought out more adult content. William Gaines of EC
Comics was happy to meet the market demand with such grim and gritty titles as Weird Fantasy and The
Crypt of Terror. The creators of superhero comic books, not wanting to be left behind, responded by
matching their protagonists against darker criminals in more violent encounters. These darker comic
books aroused the anger of child psychologist Fredric Wertham, who believed that comic books were
leading the nations youth into crime, violence, and drug abuse. Werthams book, The Seduction of the
Innocent, was a national best-seller that helped bring about congressional investigations into the corrupting
influence of comic books. The Senate committee that reviewed Werthams charges decided to create the
Comics Code Authority, a regulatory body that prohibited comic books from mentioning sexuality, alcohol,
drugs, criminal behavior, or any themes related to the horror genre.

These regulations had a numbing effect on the industry. EC Comics was nearly driven out of the comics
business, and the other major players canceled many of their most prominent titles. The comics business
did not recover until the Marvel revolution of the early 1960s ushered in the Silver Age.
106. The passage is primarily aiming at:
(1) Criticizing adult readers of comic book for their corrupting influence on the nations youth.
(2) Comparing and contrasting Golden Age of comic books with Silver Age of comic books.
(3) Criticizing comic books for their corrupting influence on the nations youth as well as adults.
(4) Discussing how the end of the Golden Age of comic books was brought in.
107. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
(1) The creators of superhero comic books in the postwar years responded to the competitive
pressure from horror comic books by increasing the amount of violence in their stories.
(2) The creators of superhero comic books in the postwar years voluntarily prohibited stories dealing
with sexuality, drugs, or criminal behavior.
(3) The creators of superhero comic books in the postwar years unintentionally laid the groundwork
for the transition from the Golden Age of comic books to the Silver Age.
(4) The creators of superhero comic books in the postwar years focused increasingly on well-
developed stories with flashy artwork.
108. The central message of Fredric Werthams The Seduction of the Innocent is?
(1) Comic books corrupted American youth as they lacked serious literary merit.
(2) Crime, violence, and drug abuse in the nation were introduced to nations youth by comic
books.
(3) The comic book industry must be censured to drive the worst offenders out of the business.
(4) Comic books were leading the nations youth into crime, violence, and drug abuse.
109. Which of the following is true about Silver Age?
(1) The comics business recovered due to the Marvel revolution of the early 1960s that ushered in
the Silver Age.
(2) They were no different from comic books of the Golden Age.
(3) Comics Code Authority regulations could not affect the comic books of Silver Age.
(4) Marvel Comics was the only major comic book company not to be affected by Comics Code
Authority regulations during Silver Age.
110. In what light does the passage depict the efforts by Fredric Wertham to bring about regulation of the
comic book industry?
(1) As a fanatical crusade brought about by Werthams inner demons.
(2) As a reasonable response to an industry that had gone too far.
(3) As an angry response to a trend in the subject matter of the comic book industry.
(4) As an inappropriate response to a phenomenon that was not actually hurting anyone.

abuse.
(3) Their sales surpassed those of previous best-selling titles such as Superman or Batman.
(4) The publication of Weird Tales #1 coincided with the end of the Golden Age of comic books.
112. According to the final paragraph of the passage, what may we infer about the comic book companies
of the Silver Age?
(1) They were able to continue their business and were not discouraged by the regulations of the
Comics Code Authority.
(2) They achieved commercial success because of the popularity of characters such as Spider-
Man, the Hulk, and the Fantastic Four.
(3) They repeated the same mistakes as the comic book companies of the Golden Age.
(4) They failed to succeed because of the numbing effect of the Comics Code Authority regulations.
Passage 3 (Q. 113 - 119):
So all of us at one time or another, gets into a rut in our significant relationships. The spark fades, the
conversations loose excitement, and the sex feels routine. We all enter relationships with high expectations
of how its going to be but, then reality hits and we soon find ourselves feeling frustrated and disappointed.
It is easy to fall in love; however it is quite difficult to stay in love. Have you ever seen a couple in their mid
80s who still have that spark, respect, and openness in their relationship? It is a rare find, but Ill tell you,
when you see it, its a beautiful thing.
All is fair in love and war and marriage is no exception. Lets not kid ourselves. Even the most loving
relationship can degenerate into a vicious struggle between bitter enemies. In this dangerous marital game
nothing is sweeter than getting even and the only thing that matters is winning. Verbal and physical threats
and abuse become the weapons of marital discord.
The only advice you can give to a couple who are engaged in such a struggle is: Immediately seek help or
get out. Thankfully, most of us are not contestants in such a fierce and destructive battle. More than that,
Im assuming that each of you wants to learn how to create a peaceful and loving relationship.
In reality, if I were to ask a couple who were engaged in a dangerous relationship such as this, Do you
really want to hurt each other? their answers would invariably be, No, I just get so frustrated when she
doesnt hear me that I just lose it, or I hate whats happening to us but Ive tried so hard to get him to
understand me but he just refuses to listen. Its just gotten to the point where all I want to do is hurt him.
Out of hurt and frustration they resort to violence believing that it is the only way they can protect themselves.

How easy it is to say, Its your fault. You made me do it. Its because of you that things are so bad between
us. Youre the reason I feel so miserable. Its so hard to look at ourselves and ask, Whats my part in
creating the difficulties between us? The problem with blaming is that it never solves anything and it nearly
always triggers a negative reaction.
When each of us blames, we deny our partner the opportunity to think seriously about our words and to
respond in a thoughtful manner. In addition, anyone who feels blamed usually responds in kind. The result
is either a skirmish or all out war. Your partner is now your enemy who you must disarm or even destroy at
all costs. All is fair in love and war and marriage is both.
So whats the antidote to blaming? The answer is simple: Take responsibility for yourself. Putting it into
practice is a challenge. Its hard to give up that feeling of being right. Its so difficult to let go of that need to
force a confession out of our partners. Ill let you in on a marital truth: Being right in a relationship is the
booby prize. You win; the relationship loses. Dont you want the relationship to win? Youll win, too. Try
looking hard at your part what is creating the conflict. Ask yourself, What am I doing to create distance
and hurt? If youre not sure, let me help you out. Most likely you are blaming.
One of you has to be honest about the marriage. In other words, be straight with yourself about whats
missing. Write down what you would like to change in your relationship. Be honest with one another about
your preferences, likes, and dislikes, this includes the sexual part of your relationship. Do not take it
personally if your spouse does not like something; be open to feedback and try something different.
113. Why does author feel, being right by only one partner is harmful to a relation?
(1) One of the partners may not be honest about the marriage.
(2) Being right by one partner will lead to win of one but loss to the relationship.
(3) It comes out from the need to force a confession out of our partner.
(4) Both (2) & (3).
114. Which of the following underlines the main purpose of the passage?
(1) to show how the blame game renders a marital discord which develops into a danger for a
marital relationship and to suggest possible ways to overcome such danger.
(2) to show how one partner goes on to enforce his or her views on other.
(3) to discuss the possible downsides of the love marriage.
(4) to show that blame game is the main reason for breaking marriage.
115. According to the author, for sure, winning in a strained marital relation should not matter because
most of the married couples:
(1) always want to get even with our partner.
(2) feel that all is fair in love and war and marriage is no exception.
(3) are really not competing for anything in any kind of destructive battle.
(4) actually want to hurt each other.

(2) Frustration leads the partner to a point where one intentionally hurts the other and, this finally
results into violence.
(3) An aggrieved partner usually responds in kind and relationship can degenerate into a vicious
struggle between bitter enemies.
(4) All of the above.
117. Which of the steps taken by a feuding partner may, according to author, mitigate the marital discord?

his wife.

wanes.

point of view.

creating conflict between them and find what is missing in the relationship.
118. As per passage, the tone of the author is:
(1) Sympathetic and Wistful
(2) Flippant and Humorous
(3) Concerned and Conversational
(4) Nostalgic and Pensive

(2) It is often not possible to understand why one partner creates distance by blaming other partner.
(3) Many a times some charges like promiscuity or caviling are not just blames but true complains.
(4) Blaming actually help to prove one right and win in a marital discord.
Passage 4 (Q. 120 - 126):
The boom years of the early 21st century were good for many people, but perhaps no one enjoyed them
more than Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. Stripped to its essentials, Dubai
is a sweltering strip of sand blessed with a natural harbour known as the creek, which has been an entry
point for merchants and smugglers for centuries. Building on his fathers vision, Sheikh Mohammed turned
Dubai into a 21st Century boomtown, luring western financiers and tourists with gleaming steel and glass
towers, vast beaches, and green golf resorts.
Now Sheikh Mohammed is calling for a standstill on debt repayments at one of his most important companies,
Dubai World, at least temporarily rocking world markets and raising huge questions about the future of
Page 27

Dubai. The Standard & Poors 500 index of 500 stocks fell 1.7% in abbreviated trading Friday, to 1,091.49,
and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index had slipped 1.8% as of 2:12 p.m.
Dubai was always a momentum play. Unlike Saudi Arabia or Abu Dhabi, the hugely wealthy emirate to the
West, Sheikh Mohammed had scant oil production to fuel his grandiose ideas. Instead he sold the world
on his vision of Dubai as a hub for the Middle East, western Asia, and Africa, attracting investment from his
wealthier neighborsboth Arabs and Iraniansand increasingly, from the West and Russia.
For a while, it worked. Western bankers fell over each other to book space in his Dubai International
Financial Center, a handsome if somewhat over-the-top real estate project aimed at being the Wall Street
of the Gulf. The cream of technology companies and media companies, from Cisco Systems to Microsoft,
set up shop in Dubais Internet City. CEOs and politicians came to Dubai to pay court to the ruler, whom
they treated like a sage.
Sheikh Mohammed patronized a corps of young technocrats, who worshiped The Boss and raced to
enact his visions. He told them there was nothing they couldnt do if they put enough imagination and
energy into it. When Mohammed Alabbar, the chairman of developer Emaar Properties, came to the
Sheikh with a plan to build a skyscraper in what was becoming the new downtown of Dubai, the ruler urged
him to build the tallest building in the world. Thats exactly what Alabbar did; today the Bourj Dubai is
nearly completed, soaring above an artificial lake that boasts an elaborate set of fountains that cost $250
million. For a relatively small place, Dubai has acquired an extraordinary collection of futuristic towers
some of them unfinished or empty. The cityscape looks like something out of Buck Rogers.
A man in a hurry, Sheikh Mohammed created rival building arms and investment managers and spurred
them to compete with each other for land and capital. At one point he had at least three private-equity
operations going at once under his aegis. These units invested heavily outside of Dubai at the top of the
market, using borrowed money. Banks, too, bought into the Sheikhs vision, or at least wanted to be
included in the charmed circle.
When the credit crunch came, Dubai was badly exposed to known debt of $80 billion to $90 billion, and
possibly even more. The Sheikh and his lieutenants, who had seemed masters at selling Dubai to the
world, suddenly seemed inept. That Dubai has a serious problem has been well known for more than a
year. Little progress has been made to resolve it.
It almost seems as if the ruler and those around him are in denial, not wanting to acknowledge the extent
of their troubleseven to themselves. Earlier this year the ruler appointed a frank-speaking young finance
minister, Nasser al Shaikh, who tried to force some of Dubais big companies to sort out their problems. He
was promptly fired.

(3) It caused Western bankers fall over each other to book space in his Dubai International Financial
Center
(4) It is one of the most important companies of Sheikh Mohammed and the debt repayments at
Dubai World cast a shadow on the future of Dubai.

(1) Confidence is a fragile commodity.
(2) Energy is a necessary commodity
(3) You cannot win by being candid, if the power game is being played.

Passage 5 (Q. 127 - 133):
MUMBAI: Very soon, the kirana shop and the PCO in your neighbourhood, your insurance agent, a retired
teacher and the nearby petrol pump, could provide you with a slew of banking services like deposits and
withdrawals, opening of accounts etc from their premises. On Monday, RBI permitted banks to appoint
these entities to act as their agents and carry out several of the banks operations. All these though, will
come for a fee, pre-decided by your bank.
RBI has allowed entities like individual kirana/medical/fair price shop owners, PCO operators, agents of
government-sponsored small savings schemes, insurance agents, petrol pumps owners and retired teachers
to act as business correspondents (BCs) of banks. A notification by the RBI said that allowing banks to
appoint BCs (agents in common parlance) was part of its financial inclusion initiative.
In August, an RBI working group was of the view that since the traditional brick and mortar banking model
had limitations penetrating remote areas of India, the BC model could give banks a workable solution to
provide banking services in inaccessible areas in a cost-effective manner. Banks need to accept the BC
model as extremely vital for achieving the goals of financial inclusion, the working group had recommended.
While appointing BCs, the RBI has looked at two aspects. One, BCs should have experience in handling
cash inflow and outflow as part of their normal activities, so that the issues relating to cash handling are
addressed. For streamlining cash management, banks may consider adopting cash routes linking various
BCs which are in close proximity to each other to a base branch, wherever warranted with suitable cash
transit insurance, it said.
Secondly, to give the BC model a local touch, it said banks may ensure that while appointing the above
entities as BCs, the principle that the individuals are residents of the area in which they propose to operate
as BCs, stands fulfilled.
On issues of charges, RBI said it is the bank which will charge the customer in a transparent manner. BCs
will not be allowed to charge customers directly. Recipients of BC services are mostly illiterate and unfamiliar
with technology rendering them susceptible to misguidance by the BCs.
Since the BCs staff operate individually without any line supervision, the risk of fraud and misappropriation
is higher. There have been instances noted of miscommunication by BCs. Failure to account for cash and
falsification of records have been noticed and dealt with by banks.

127. Why does accepting the BC model seem vital to the RBI working group?
(1) It is the only group strategy through which such financial inclusion of poorer people could be
achieved.
(2) It is the only group strategy through which charging the customer in a transparent manner could
be possible.
(3) It is the strategy through which making banking solutions available at the doorstep could be
possible.
(4) It is the strategy through which achieving the goals of financial inclusion could be possible.
128. Which of the following can be inferred as true, on basis of the information given in the passage?
(1) The banks do not trust BCs as they will not allow the BCs to charge customers directly.
(2) Empowering women by bring financial services to their door step would enable them to play
their role in the progress of the country.
(3) RBI permitted that BCs may be used not only for opening and servicing no-frills accounts but for
the full range of banking services.
(4) The traditional brick and mortar banking model had limitations penetrating transparency of the
banks operations.
129. Which of the following is the way in which the BC model could benefit the banks?
(1) The BC model could provide banking services to the unbanked.
(2) Without indulging in heavy infrastructure and overhead costs, the BC model could help banks
offer banking and financial services to the masses.
(3) In a cost-effective manner, the BC model could help banks offer banking and financial services
to the masses in inaccessible areas.
(4) The biggest beneficiaries of this move would be the poor who dont have easy access to finances
and credit.
130. Which of the following can be accepted to be true, about the traditional banking model and the BC
banking model?
(1) The scale of outreach expected is far from what has been achieved through the traditional
banking model. However, the BC model is lucrative for both RBI and the banks.
(2) The scale of outreach needed and expected is far from what has been achieved through the
traditional banking model. However, the BC model seems more promising.
(3) The traditional banking model must outreach the BC model to win working-class population.
(4) Instead of bringing the common man to the door step of the bank, the bank is coming to his door
step. Hence the BC model must replace the traditional banking model.

131. As per passage, which of the following, is a drawback / difficulty with the BC banking model?
(1) Appointing various entities like individual kirana/medical/fair price shop owners, PCO operators,
etc to act as business correspondents of banks, could be a difficulty as these people are not
acquainted with banking terms.
(2) The biggest drawback with the BC model is that there is no security in Kirana stores, Fair price
shops, PCOs etc.
(3) The possibility of fraud and misappropriation while dealing with ( the gullible profile) clients who
can be easily deceived, could hinder smooth execution of the model.
(4) We cannot determine how much beneficial the BC model could be, as it cannot be compared
with the traditional banking model.
