Directions (Q.Nos. 156-160) You have a passage with 5 questions following. Read the passage
carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
Passage
In September 2011, The Hindustan Time did a study in Delhi and reported that the number of
malaria (and dengue) cases at the time were actually thrice as many as revealed by the city
authorities. Earlier, in Mumbai, a municipal claim that 145 people died due to malaria in 2010 was
exposed a lie after Praja, a city NGO, extracted figures from the municipality itself. Following an
RTI petition, Praja revealed 1190 deaths. This seems to be a habit. A paper in the leading UK
medical journal The Lancet, published following nationwide interviews undertaken by an international
team, reveals that the number of material deaths all over India every year may be as high as
205000, which is many times the World Health Organization’s figure of about 15000, if the
National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme’s figure of just around 1000. While the Lancet
paper has been disputed, it is clear that there must be gross under-reporting of malarial deaths.

timely diagnosis, continues to kill, so many Indians?

carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
Passage
The capitalist system does not foster healthy relations among human beings. A few people own
all the means of production and others have to sell their labour under conditions imposed upon
them. The emphasis of capitalism being on the supreme importance of material wealth, the
intensity of its appeal is to the acquisitive tendency. It promotes worship of economic power with
little regard to the means employed for its acquisition and the end that it serves. By its exploitation
of human beings to the limits of endurance its concentration is on the largest profit rather than
maximum production. Thus, the division of human society is done on the basis of profit motive.
All this is injurious to human dignity and when the harrowed poor turn to the founders of religion
for succour, they rather offer a subtle defense for the established order. They promise future
happiness for present suffering. They conjure up visions of paradise to soothe the suffering
majority and censure the revolt of the tortured men. The system imposes injustice, the religion
justifies it.

(A) to have visions of paradise (B) to produce maximum wealth
(C) to acquire maximum wealth (D) to soothe the sufferings of other

(A) balance the suffering of the poor with hopes of future reward
(B) perpetuate the injustice imposed by the capitalist system
(C) help the tortured men to seek redress
(D) alleviate the suffering of the poor in the capitalist system

(A) dehumanizing (B) prosperous
(C) ambitious (D) fair

x + y = 80 ...(i)
4x + 2y = 200
 2x + y = 100 ...(ii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii),
2x  y  100
x  y  80
 
x  20
Subtract the Eq. (i) from Eq.(iii), we get
y = 80 – 20 = 60 (Putting the value of x)
Hence, the number of peacock = 60
