Q. 1 - 15.Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words
are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.
The current global food situation is very serious and hence, we need to understand the reasons for such
a dramatic increase in food prices in a short period.
It is argued that increases in energy costs are resulting in cost push inflation but the contribution of
energy costs to overall costs in agriculture may not explain the huge increase in food prices. Related to
the current elevated energy prices, there has been a diversion of corn and edible oils to bio-fuels, which
is significantly influenced by policy mandates. Very clearly this diversion to bio-fuels is a policy induced
new reality, which coincided with price escalation in precisely those products and hence, is noteworthy.
The financialisation of commodity trade and current extraordinary conditions in global financial markets
could have influenced the spurt in prices. The recent reductions in interest rates in the U.S. and the
injection of liquidity have resulted in investors seeking new avenues such as commodity markets, in view
of the turbulence in financial markets and the low returns in treasuries. The relatively easy liquidity and
low interest rates, by themselves, make holding of inventories attractive and thus induce greater
volatility in commodity markets. The weakening of the U.S. dollar is also advanced as a reason for the
recent volatility in commodity markets, including food items. It is evident that this phenomenon is now
also coinciding with the across the board rise in food prices.
In brief, while there are demand and supply side pressures on food items, there is considerable merit in
the argument that the recent extraordinary increases in food prices are closely linked to public policy
responses to high energy costs in advanced economies, and the turbulence in financial markets and
financial institutions. It is said that the impact of such policy induced diversion of food to bio-fuels is
significant at this juncture and reflects a preference to fill the fuel tanks of automobiles rather than fill
the empty stomachs of people. Similarly, it is sometimes held that the weight accorded to financial
stability in public policy may now be at the expense of stability in real sector - especially of sensitive
commodities like food. At the same time, there is a general consensus that public policy in regard to
food in many economies around the world has not provided adequate incentive to farmers to increase
the supply of food and other agricultural products to comfortably match the growing demand over the
medium term.

Q. 21. (1) Suppose two consecutive number is x and

x +1
`
28
x2 + x = 4032
x2 + x - 4032 = 0
x2 + 64x - 4032 = 0
x (x + 64) - 63(x + 64) = 0
x = 63
So, greater number will be x + 1
i.e. 63+1
= 64
