Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.The news that the Indian Railways are going to incur a shortfall of Rs 1000 crore in their resources generation - and will, therefore, have to seek budgetary support to that extend - will not surprise many. Thats a scenario that has been played out for years now, and the outcome, too, has been predictable - with railways budget doing is duty by doling out public money. But its time to look at the problem differently, in view of the current concerns of the government in economizing its charity and the feeling that the railways have to stand on their own legs.The Railways have, over the last few months, continued to experience a shortfall of Rs 85 crore per month, a feature that could add to their woes if it continue. Fall in expected goods traffic, in the rate per tonne and also a dip in passenger traffic have contributed to the shortfall. All these may not be new concerns for the Railways; the relevant point, however, is how the system and the government hope to tackle it.Clearly, budgetary support should be considered only in the last instance, after various measures to both reduce expenditure and raise resources have been tried out. Consider subsidies on passenger traffic --- the expenditure which really digs into the governments coffers. In fact, passenger traffic subsidy accounted for nearly 90 per cent of the railways losses in 1992/93, with freight traffic subsidies taking up the rest.Freight traffic subsidy cuts should prove more easy if this years budget exercise is any indication. Till now, sixteen commodities were subsidized. In 1993/94, budget subsidy on four commodities were removed. Prices did not rise, there was little protest and now the Railways ought to be emboldened to do more Reduction in passenger subsidies is more tricky given the dependence of such a large population, mostly poor, on the system and most governments have been reluctant to do much. In fact, passenger rates have been hiked very few times and that, too, only in recent years.One area where the Railways could do a lot more pruning is in shutting uneconomic branch lines. For instance, in 1992/93 it was found that 114 branch lines contributed a loss of Rs 121 crore.To its credit, however, the railways have been looking around for sources of funds other than the budget.Q. Which of the following has the same meaning as the word dip as it has been used in the passage.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.PMs offensive and pompous reply verged on the preposterous. It is not only in consonance with certain facts, but is also wholly out of keeping with disappointment for them that a government and people noted for their high culture and politeness should have committed this serious lapse and should have addressed the GOI in a language which is discourteous and unbecoming, even if it were addressed to a hostile country. Since it is addressed to a country that is referred as friendly, this can only be considered as an act of forgetfulness. The GOI realizes that the system of government in China is different from that prevailing in India. It is the right of the Chinese people to have a government of their choice, and no one else has a right to interfereQ.What was the surprise and disappointment to the government?

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.I have said several times that this government has suffered from leadership crisis from day one. As long as the going was good, everything was hunky-dory. The moment we started facing challenges, we realized that this government had no power to take decisions and was floundering on all fronts. Bipartisanship is a very desirable objective in any democracy because in a democracy, while governments are formed on the basis of numbers, they function on the basis of consensus. But the responsibility for building that consensus rests squarely on the shoulders of the government of the day.The government should reach out to build that consensus. Why only on economic issue even on other issues this government did not build any consensus. On the nuclear deal, the BJP and left were opposing it, and other elements in the political spectrum too. but the government went ahead with it. So, consensus building cannot be cherry-picking, that I want to build consensus and so you fall in line.Q.What strong decision was taken by the government?
