Q.
Statement : Change has swept over Chambal. Its ravines are no longer dominated by the likes of the big names of yesteryear, like Man Singh, Malkhan Singh, Phoolan Devi or Putli Bai. Those who have taken over are petty criminals in comparison, targeting poor farmers and shopkeepers. Their forte is small-time robbing and kidnapping because they are not strong enough to lay hands on big farmers, who were the targets of the previous generation of Chambal dacoits. Survivors of old generation feel their generation comprised rebels who fought against injustice and did not exploit the poor.
Criminals do not have any sense of ethics.

Q.
Statement : India has acquired the dubious distinction of having the largest number of diabetes patients in the world. It has been estimated that the numbers in India would far surpass those in China by 2025. Number of diabetics in China was expected to double and reach an estimated 35-million mark by 2025. In contrast, India would have 57 million diabetics, three times its currently estimated number. It has also been found that diabetics are more prone to develop coronary artery disease. Women with diabetes are also seen to develop heart disease at an earlier age.
                Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, renal failure and cardiovascular diseases. The reason for predisposition of Indians to the disease may be both due to genetic factors as well as central obesity in middle-aged people. Studies have shown a three-to-four-fold difference between urban and rural areas, suggesting lifestyle factors. Central obesity in urban population is higher. In developing countries, majority of people with diabetes will be in the age group of 45 to 64. But in developed countries, diabetes will affect people who are above 65 years. Experts here have stressed the need to start preventive measures. For this, steps should be taken that encourage physical activity.
       Cases of blindness, renal failure and cardiovascular diseases in India are the highest in the world.

Q.
Statement : In India, we are still struggling with elementary problems of healthcare. Our performance in health-related sectors like provision of drinking water, sanitation, education and nutrition remain poor. The healthcare system itself is extremely inadequate and particularly missing at the village level. As our bureaucrats systematically decimated the Community Health Worker (CHW) programme, we face an unenviable prospect of facing the old and new health challenges without infrastructure at the grassroots. Ironically, in the name of infrastructure, various Indian states are busy building tertiary institutes – hospitals – on World Bank loans. Aid agencies are also pushing one programme after another, overlooking the absence of adequate infrastructure at the village level. Unfortunately, no one talks of facilities at the village level.
Aid agencies are overburdened with programmes and so are not particularly interested in solving any one of them.

  • d)
    if the inference is “definitely false”, i.e. it cannot   possibly be drawn from the facts given for it  contradicts the given facts
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

Given Facts:
- The passage highlights the poor state of healthcare infrastructure in India, particularly at the village level.
- It mentions that aid agencies are pushing programmes without addressing the lack of infrastructure at the village level.

Inference Analysis:

1. Aid agencies are overburdened with programmes and so are not particularly interested in solving any one of them.
- This is a probable inference based on the fact that the passage mentions aid agencies overlooking the absence of adequate infrastructure at the village level while pushing various programmes.
- The aid agencies' focus on multiple programmes without addressing infrastructure issues suggests that they may be overburdened and not fully committed to solving each individual problem.
- While this may not be explicitly stated in the passage, the actions of aid agencies as described in the passage support this inference.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (b) probably true.

Q.
Statement  : The quest for big money is enticing professionals in some sectors to shift to more lucrative areas. Take engineers, with their salaries moving at the slowest rates it is no wonder that many engineering graduates are switching over to management courses. And over 80% of the students at the IIM in Calcutta are engineers. Says Ramanuj Majumdar, professor of marketing at the institute. “This trend seems to be market-driven since pay packages are more attractive in management.” Like engineering, chartered accountancy (CA) too has been witnessing a relatively sluggish growth. This is partly because CAs, who were the phenomenon of the 70s, have been overtaken by the MBAs.

Aditi garg answered
Explanation:

Probable true
- The passage clearly states that India is still struggling with basic healthcare problems such as provision of drinking water, sanitation, education, and nutrition.
- It also highlights the inadequacy of the healthcare system, particularly at the village level.
- The passage further mentions that aid agencies and Indian states are focusing on building tertiary institutes rather than addressing the lack of infrastructure at the village level.
Therefore, it can be inferred that other countries have made rapid progress in elementary healthcare problems by now. While this cannot be definitively stated based on the information provided in the passage, it is likely true given the contrast between India's healthcare challenges and the progress made by other countries.

Understanding the Inference:

Explanation:

The inference that people do not know the name of contemporary Chambal dacoits is probably true based on the facts given in the passage. The passage clearly states that the current dacoits are petty criminals targeting poor farmers and shopkeepers, in contrast to the big names of the past like Man Singh, Malkhan Singh, Phoolan Devi, and Putli Bai. Since the current dacoits are not as notorious or powerful as their predecessors, it is likely that their names are not well-known to the general public.

Therefore, based on the information provided in the passage, it can be inferred that people do not know the names of contemporary Chambal dacoits.

Understanding the Inference
The inference states, "The geography of the Chambal ravines has changed." To evaluate this, we need to analyze the passage's context.
Context of the Passage
- The passage discusses a shift in criminal activity in the Chambal region, moving from notorious dacoits to petty criminals.
- It highlights that previous dacoits targeted significant farmers and fought against injustice, while current criminals prey on vulnerable individuals like poor farmers and shopkeepers.
Assessing the Inference
- The term "geography" typically refers to physical landscapes, topography, or spatial features of a region.
- The passage does not provide any direct information about changes in the physical geography of the Chambal ravines. Instead, it focuses on the nature of criminal activities and the social dynamics in the area.
Conclusion on the Inference
- While there is a change in the type of crime and possibly the social environment, this does not equate to a change in geography in a literal sense.
- Therefore, the inference that "the geography of the Chambal ravines has changed" is "probably false" as it lacks direct support from the passage; the changes discussed pertain more to social dynamics rather than physical geography.
Final Answer
Thus, the correct interpretation of the inference is "probably false," which aligns with option 'C'.

Q.
​Statement : India has acquired the dubious distinction of having the largest number of diabetes patients in the world. It has been estimated that the numbers in India would far surpass those in China by 2025. Number of diabetics in China was expected to double and reach an estimated 35-million mark by 2025. In contrast, India would have 57 million diabetics, three times its currently estimated number. It has also been found that diabetics are more prone to develop coronary artery disease. Women with diabetes are also seen to develop heart disease at an earlier age.
    Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, renal failure and cardiovascular diseases. The reason for predisposition of Indians to the disease may be both due to genetic factors as well as central obesity in middle-aged people. Studies have shown a three-to-four-fold difference between urban and rural areas, suggesting lifestyle factors. Central obesity in urban population is higher. In developing countries, majority of people with diabetes will be in the age group of 45 to 64. But in developed countries, diabetes will affect people who are above 65 years. Experts here have stressed the need to start preventive measures. For this, steps should be taken that encourage physical activity.
Cases of diabetes in rural areas of India are lower than those in urban areas.
