Directions (Q. 1-3): Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: Despite
debt crisis in US and downgrade of its economy by Standard and Poor's, US government debt still

(6 to 9)
Here the persons who travel are: A, B, C, D, E, F and G.
Stations are: Base station, #I, #II, #III, #IV and #V.

These informations give us the following table:

www.ibpsadda.com

www.onlinemocktest.guru

Page 9

Now from clue (2), F gets down at #II. And he got in either at base station or at #I.
Now, since F got down at #II and he had got in with C, it implies that both C and F got in
either at base station or at #I. Again, since B and D get down at #III this implies that they too got in
either at base station or at #I.
It is given that E got in with two other persons i.e., in a group of three persons. Obviously, E got in
at base station. Hence, once again the above information can be summarized as:

11. 3 , 12. 4 , 13. 4 , 14. 4 , 15. 3

(16-18): ek la ki --> dont touch flowers ... (1)

Directions (Q. 11-25): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below
it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
The world is full of warring people: brothers, sisters, spouses, communities, nationsno one is
free from this affliction. The meanings of words such as brother or spouse have become
defunct, now referring to a mere biological/legal connection rather than the deeper relationships
of love, companionship and friendship. The cause of the warring? Old rivalries, grudges,
misunderstandings and conflicting value systems. The last goes to the root of it all.
Many would like to believe that people are inherently deceptive, scheming, selfish or aggressive.
However, this is not true. What is intrinsic to people is their value systemhierarchical structures
of things they value most in their lives. This may be money, power, adventure, security, health,
career, studies, fame, the opposite sex, friends, family or even things like food, sports, dancing,
partying and sometimes something much deeper, such as philanthropy, social work or God. Any
one of these can take precedence over all others if it is at the top of a persons value system.
Understanding that other people dont always share the same value systems as we do, is the first
and most crucial step towards creating friendship or resolving strife.It makes it easier for us to let
go more often. Too many discussions on trivial matters such as the distance from Mumbai to Delhi
end up in argument and bitter exchanges. Learn to laugh and change the topic or just agree or
keep quiet. Talk about subjects which interest others, not yourself, even if those subjects are truly
boring. Remember, they mean a lot in the value system of the other person. Ask them how they
got involved in the subject and about their experiences and opinions. The more people you show
interest in, the more friends youll have. But remember, do not assume that friends are primarily
for helping you. That may be disastrous. That thought represents your value system. In serious
matters, however, all individuals should enter a mutual, written agreement in the company of
witnesses from both sides: even in dealings with ones father, brother, sister, wife, son or best
friend. Remember, they may not all subscribe to the same value system as you. Or, their value
systems might change in the future.

www.onlinemocktest.guru

Page 13

When young, many people subscribe to the value all for one and one for all. Later, after many
thankless experiences, they furiously switch over to every man for himself. So, if a person
refuses to enter into such a written agreement with you, make some excuse and just call off the
plan. Even if it sours relations a little, it wont sour the mas much as it will years later. The master
formula is: to get a friend, be a friend. But please choose your friends carefully. Their value system
will determine their destiny. Associating with them may determine yours too.
