Rajesh was absolutely thrilled about the upcoming IFL Championship. It was his fourth year with the team, and he was elected captain by his teammates and coaches. For the past three years, his dedication and work ethic had been excellent. Rajesh was a natural leader and the IFL Championship and the team meant the world to him. The team’s form in matches leading up to the IFL had been fantastic. With new talents in the team, Rajesh felt the team was better positioned to make a run for the championship this year. The past three years had been very tough for Rajesh having been on the losing end in the semi-finals.
Before every season, the team gets together and lays out a series of rules that have to be followed by team members throughout the course of the season. For achieving the ultimate goal of winning the championship, the team decided that they had to be more disciplined in practice and in their off the field activities as well. This year, the main rule voted for by players, coaches and other team staff was a ban on alcohol. Rajesh, being the team captain, felt that if his team could stay disciplined and stay away from alcohol then his team would be successful. Any violation of this rule would lead to suspension by the team for two games and a hefty fine.
All team members were reminded of the rule before each and every game. This was to ensure that the point of no alcohol was made clear, while also outlining how vital it was to follow team rules.
As the season progressed Rajesh, as team captain, had to deal with multiple minor problems - teammates not showing up on time for practice, unnecessary arguments with referees during the game etc. Rajesh occasionally had to confront his teammates and bring them back in line to avoid breaking rules. Most problems were settled with conversation, in a way consistent with team rules and goals.
Rajesh and the team made it all the way to the semifinals with ease. They had been winning games largely due to the contribution of the player of the team, Mukesh. Mukesh had been very versatile throughout the year, and had played multiple positions with ease. But, on the eve of the semifinal, Mukesh violated a major team rule - Mukesh was seen drinking and partying in a pub by Rakesh, a mutual friend of Mukesh and Rajesh.
Rajesh was notified of the event by Rakesh immediately. Rajesh at first could not believe it, but as team captain he knew he had to confront Mukesh and sort it out. During the confrontation, Mukesh admitted that temptation had got the better of him, and he had indeed consumed alcohol earlier. Mukesh was also extremely apologetic knowing that he had let the team down by breaking the rule they had agreed to abide by throughout the season.
Rajesh knows Mukesh is an important player for the semifinal and wants to win the Championship, which is the goal of the team. How should Rajesh handle the situation?
  • a)
    Keep quiet about it - Wait for the season to finish and then let others know.
  • b)
    Consult some other trusted players on the team who will not leak the events and then take a decision
  • c)
    Speak to all his teammates about the incident. Fine and suspend Mukesh for the semifinals as the rules had been made clear to all the players before and during the tournament
  • d)
    Inform all teammates about the incident. Ask Mukesh to apologize for the incident, put a hefty fine and suspend him for two games after the current IFL tournament
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

A - In case other teammates get to know about the incident, this will be a bad option.
B - This sounds correct, but if teammates get to know, it will be a bad option. (same as option A)
C–This is a close second. If you go only by rules, this would be the correct answer. Banning Mukesh will clearly be detrimental in the pursuit of a championship. However, the objective of the person making the decision should also be kept in mind while coming up with the best solution. And here Rajesh and the team’s goal of winning the championship will be affected with Mukesh’s absence.
D - This is the best solution–This is the perfect middle path that will allow for Rajesh’s and the team’s goal to not be affected while also showing that the team was not preferential in its treatment by not suspending Mukesh. Mukesh was apologetic about his behaviour.
By not suspending Mukesh, the team members might feel that they too can get away with such violations but by suspending Mukesh after the Championship games allows the team to carry on, without hindrance, in its pursuit of the championship while also sending a clear message that such behaviour will not be tolerated.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:Our meritocracy looks to markets to measure merit. Prices—including, crucially, wages—establish what things are worth. Greg Mankiw, who chaired George Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers, captures the ideal in his “principle of just deserts.” Meritocracy holds that “a person who contributes more to society deserves a higher income that reflects those greater contributions.” Moreover, meritocracy measures each person’s contribution as the market value that she adds “to society’s production of goods and services.”But in reality, meritocratic hierarchies now distort market valuations, especially wages. Elites remake work in their own image, to privilege education and skills that only they can afford to acquire. Finance illustrates the pattern. In the mid 20th century, when the Economist called banking “the world’s most respectable dying industry,” those in the field were neither better educated nor better paid than others. Since then, super-educated elites have developed technologies—financial instruments, digital tools and legal regimes—that dramatically favour their own skills. Today, no sector is more closely associated with high wages. But the innovation is not a true advance, and the new style of finance does not make a greater social contribution than the old. The transaction costs of financial intermediation have not declined, and overall financial risk is neither reduced nor better shared.Similar patterns pervade the wider economy. Elites remake work to favour their peculiar skills and then use the enormous incomes that ensue to buy educations for their children that the rest cannot match. Far from correcting itself, meritocratic inequality triggers a feedback loop that undermines meritocracy’s core claims. Merit is an ideology built to launder offensive hierarchies.But,todays distribution of rewards and opportunities is notso repugnant that we need to junk the idea of merit.The meritocratic idea was forged in the revolt against the old society that fixed people’s position at birth, most notably in the French and American Revolutions of the 18th century and the English liberal revolution of the 19th. But things didn’t stop there. Prominent thinkers of the time like Du Bois and Luther King,all rested their arguments on the idea that people should be judged on the basis of their own abilities.I would agree with a reworded version of Mankiw’s principle: someone who contributes more to prosperity deserves a higher income that reflects their greater contribution.There is more to meritocracy than money-making.The meritocratic idea tries to address two of the great problems at the heart of modernity: how do we reconcile the moral equality of individuals with social differentiation? And how do we secure the economic growth that pays for the things we have come to expect, such as social welfare?Meritocracy answers the first question by providing a combination of equality of opportunity and competition. Universal education gives everybody a basic shot at succeeding. Competition allows people to discover their unique talents. And if competition has downsides, they are nothing compared with the risks of allowing talents to go undiscovered.The evidence that meritocracy promotes economic efficiency is overwhelming: meritocratic countries such as Singapore grow more robustly than non-meritocratic ones such as Greece; public companies that recruit people on merit are more successful than family companies that rely on nepotism.The solution to the inequalities produced by meritocracy’s success is to tax the winners rather than to bind Prometheus.Q. The authors view on the principle of just deserts differs from that of Mankiw in which of the following ways?

After the first 6 races, the point standings of the 16 drivers is as follows:(2015)Q.Apart from the first six races, Alonso got the podium finish in the 7th race as well. However, he was not allowed to participate in the subsequent races due to mechanical failure. At the end of the season, if Schumacher won the ‘Driver’s Championship’, then which of the following could have been his lowest rank in any of the last three races?

DIRECTIONS for questions: Each of the following questions has a paragraph which is followed by four alternative summaries. Choose the alternative that best captures the essence of the paragraph.When Thomas Steitz, Ada Yonath, and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their research, in 2009, they acknowledged a debt. Without the work of two of the Physics Laureates that year, the chemists would have lacked the CCD detectors, or high-quality imaging hardware, they used to model and image ribosomes, sites of protein synthesis within a cell. Collaboration in science has become commonplace today, and we’re seeing the benefits. But many of its fruits are unintended. As Ramakrishnan points out, inventions in one discipline can build on – and spur – basic research in many others, often unwittingly. It’s a virtuous cycle, and scientists take joy in exploiting all of it. “Scientists are very promiscuous,” he says, “and the good ones are the most promiscuous.”

For achieving the ultimate goal of winning the championship, the team decided that they had to be more disciplined in practice and in their off the field activities as well. This year, the main rule voted for by players, coaches and other team staff was a ban on alcohol.

Any violation of this rule would lead to suspension by the team for two games and a hefty fine.All team members were reminded of the rule before each and every game. This was to ensure that the point of no alcohol was made clear, while also outlining how vital it was to follow team rules.As the season progressed Rajesh, as team captain, had to deal with multiple minor problems - teammates not showing up on time for practice, unnecessary arguments with referees during the game etc. Rajesh occasionally had to confront his teammates and bring them back in line to avoid breaking rules. Most problems were settled with conversation, in a way consistent with team rules and goals.Rajesh and the team made it all the way to the semifinals with ease. They had been winning games largely due to the contribution of the player of the team, Mukesh. Mukesh had been very versatile throughout the year, and had played multiple positions with ease. But, on the eve of the semifinal, Mukesh violated a major team rule - Mukesh was seen drinking and partying in a pub by Rakesh, a mutual friend of Mukesh and Rajesh.Rajesh was notified of the event by Rakesh immediately. Rajesh at first could not believe it, but as team captain he knew he had to confront Mukesh and sort it out. During the confrontation, Mukesh admitted that temptation had got the better of him, and he had indeed consumed alcohol earlier. Mukesh was also extremely apologetic knowing that he had let the team down by breaking the rule they had agreed to abide by throughout the season.Rajesh knows Mukesh is an important player for the semifinal and wants to win the Championship, which is the goal of the team. How should Rajesh handle the situation?a)Keep quiet about it - Wait for the season to finish and then let others know.b)Consult some other trusted players on the team who will not leak the events and then take a decisionc)Speak to all his teammates about the incident. Fine and suspend Mukesh for the semifinals as the rules had been made clear to all the players before and during the tournamentd)Inform all teammates about the incident.
