Directions for Questions Analyse the following passage and provide appropriate answers. Popper claimed, scientific beliefs are universal in character, and have to be so if they are to serve us in explanation and prediction. For the universality of a scientific belief implies that, no matter how many instances we have found positive, there will always be an indefinite number of unexamined instances which may or may not also be positive. We have no good reason for supposing that any of these unexamined instances will be positive, or will be negative, so we must refrain from drawing any conclusions. On the other hand, a single negative instance is sufficient to prove that the belief is false, for such an instance is logically incompatible with the universal truth of the belief. Provided, therefore, that the instance is accepted as negative we must conclude that the scientific belief is false. In short, we can sometimes deduce that a universal scientific belief is false but we can never induce that a universal scientific belief is true. It is sometimes argued that this 'asymmetry' between verification and falsification is not nearly as pronounced as Popper declared it to be. Thus, there is no inconsistency in holding that a universal scientific belief is false despite any number of positive instances; and there is no inconsistency either in holding that a universal scientific belief is true despite the evidence of a negative instance. For the belief that an instance is negative is itself a scientific belief and may be falsified by experimental evidence which we accept and which is inconsistent with it. When, for example, we draw a right-angled triangle on the surface of a sphere using parts of three great circles for its sides, and discover that for this triangle Pythagoras' Theorem does not hold, we may decide that this apparently negative instance is not really negative because it is not a genuine instance at all. Triangles drawn on the surfaces of spheres are not the sort of triangles which fall within the scope of Pythagoras' Theorem. Falsification, that is to say, is no more capable of yielding conclusive rejections of scientific belief than verification is of yielding conclusive acceptances of scientific beliefs. The asymmetry between falsification and verification, therefore, has less logical significance than Popper supposed. We should, though, resist this reasoning. Falsifications may not be conclusive, for the acceptances on which rejections are based are always provisional acceptances. But, nevertheless, it remains the case that, in falsification, if we accept falsifying claims then, to remain consistent, we must reject falsified claims. On the other hand, although verifications are also not conclusive, our acceptance or rejection of verifying instances has no implications concerning the acceptance or rejection of verified claims. Falsifying claims sometimes give us a good reason for rejecting a scientific belief, namely when the claims are accepted. But verifying claims, even when accepted, give us no good and appropriate reason for accepting any scientific belief, because any such reason would have to be inductive to be appropriate and there are no good inductive reasons. According to Popper, the statement Scientific beliefs are universal in character implies that

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for NMAT - 6 - Question 1
The answer to this question can be derived from the following lines: For the universality of a scientific belief implies that, no matter how many instances we have found positive, there will always be an indefinite number of unexamined instances which may or may not also be positive....In short, we can sometimes deduce that a universal scientific belief is false but we can never induce that a universal scientific belief is true. These lines perfectly illustrate the viewpoint of Popper, and showcases how universality of scientific beliefs implies that scientific beliefs can be proved false with a single example (deduced to be false) but can never be induced (from a specific case to a generalization) to be true. This gels with option 4 in the given case.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for NMAT - 6 - Question 2
In the first paragraph of the passage, the author propounds the viewpoints of Popper, which place a lot of emphasis on falsification. In the second paragraph, he actually goes against this and showcases how we cannot assume falsification and verification to be at loggerheads always (as it is made out to be by Popper). Falsification actually depends on the situation, and the proof given to prove something false may actually not be valid keeping in mind the original constraints. This makes option 5 the correct answer. Observe option 4 closely, it is actually illogical in nature as its falsification can only reject, not accept a belief.

Which of the following would be the most appropriate conclusion?
Detailed Solution for Practice Test for NMAT - 6 - Question 4
The one certain conclusion that can be drawn from the passage is the when a belief is proved to be incorrect (read falsified) it can be definitely ruled out. This means falsification gives us an apt reason for rejecting a belief. Verification does not provide us anything concrete, and falsification cannot help in accepting a belief. Thus, the correct answer is option 1.

Directions for Questions Read the following passage and provide appropriate answers. The idea of demarcating certain areas within the country as special economic zones to promote investment and growth is not new. A large country unable to provide the kind of facilities and environment that can attract foreign investment throughout the country often finds it feasible and attractive to carve up some of its areas where such facilities can be provided. The laws and procedures for setting up new industries are waived to make the area business-friendly with developed infrastructure and a one-window interaction with government. In addition, huge tax benefits are promised to lure investors. China's experience shows that if chalked out and implemented with care such a policy can accelerate the flow of capital and technology from abroad and thereby speed up growth. However, SEZs may not be the best option in all situations to clear the bottlenecks in growth. India's experience with export processing zones (EPZs) bears this out. They have failed in India for the simple reason that the factors that made the SEZs successful in China have been absent here. In India, as in China, EPZs were thought of as a way of providing an escape route from the stranglehold of control that prevailed over the Indian economy. But even while promising to ease the rigours of controls, Indian policy-makers could not give up their penchant for micromanaging from the centre and undoing the promised relaxations with all kinds of qualifications and guidelines. Over the last two decades India has evolved into a market economy and much of governmental control has disappeared, but the flow of foreign direct investment has not reached anywhere near the levels of China. Besides, infrastructure building has fallen far short of what is required. Even after three years of the enactment of the Electricity Act (2003), private investment in electricity generation is still a trickle with the states refusing to give up the monopoly of their electricity boards in the matter of purchase of the power generated. While swearing by growth, governments at both the centre and the states cite the fiscal responsibility laws to plead their helplessness in making the required investments to improve infrastructure. Given the situation, the SEZs have apparently been thought of as a simple way out. In its enthusiasm for SEZs the commerce ministry forgot two critical lessons of the Chinese experience, viz., that an SEZ must be of an adequate size to provide opportunities for reaping the benefits of large-scale operations and their number should be few. Every industry or economic activity worth its name is now seeking SEZ status. Proposals are now being floated to invite foreign educational institutions to come to India with promises of SEZ treatment! The finance ministry apprehends a loss of nearly ? 1,75,000 crore in direct taxes, customs duties and excise duties over the next five years. The objective of the author in writing the above passage seems to be to

There are many instances where the author shows that he opposes the proliferation of SEZs in India. For example: a. India’s experience with export processing zones (EPZs) bears this out. They have failed in India for the simple reason that the factors that made the SEZs successful in China have been absent here. b. Even while promising to ease the rigours of controls, Indian policy-makers could not give up their penchant for micromanaging from the centre and undoing the promised relaxations with all kinds of qualifications and guidelines . c.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for NMAT - 6 - Question 6
This is a classic case where a statement given in the passage is misinterpreted. Refer to the line: While swearing by growth, governments at both the centre and the states cite the fiscal responsibility laws to plead their helplessness in making the required investments to improve infrastructure. This line has been morphed into option 3 as: Fiscal responsibility laws actually limit the investment on infrastructure by the Government of India. Clearly, this does match with the original statement given in the passage, and can be directly rejected from this context. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer. The other options can be found in the passage.

Directions for Questions Analyse the passage given and provide an appropriate answer for the questions that follow. Enunciated by Jung as an integral part of his psychology in 1916 immediately after his unsettling confrontation with the unconscious, the transcendent function was seen by Jung as uniting the opposites, transforming psyche, and central to the individuation process. It also undoubtedly reflects his personal experience in coming to terms with the unconscious. Jung portrayed the transcendent function as operating through symbol and fantasy and mediating between the opposites of consciousness and the unconscious to prompt the emergence of a new, third posture that transcends the two. In exploring the details of the transcendent function and its connection to other Jungian constructs, this work has unearthed significant changes, ambiguities, and inconsistencies in Jung's writings. Further, it has identified two separate images of the transcendent function:

(1) the narrow transcendent function, the function or process within Jung's pantheon of psychic structures, generally seen as the uniting of the opposites of consciousness and the unconscious from which a new attitude emerges; and

(2) the expansive transcendent function, the root metaphor for psyche or being psychological that subsumes Jung's pantheon and that apprehends the most fundamental psychic activity of interacting with the unknown or other. This book has also posited that the expansive transcendent function, as the root metaphor for exchanges between conscious and the unconscious, is the wellspring from whence flows other key Jungian structures such as the archetypes and the Self, and is the core of the individuation process. The expansive transcendent function has been explored further by surveying other schools of psychology, with both depth and non-depth orientations, and evaluating the transcendent function alongside structures or processes in those other schools which play similar mediatory and/or transitional roles. The above passage is most likely an excerpt from:

A comparison similar to the distinction between the two images of the transcendent function would be:
Detailed Solution for Practice Test for NMAT - 6 - Question 11
In the given case, the first thing that you need to do is to establish the relationship between the two images of the transcendent function. What is the relationship between the two images? In simple terms, the narrow transcendent function is seen as the uniting of the opposites of consciousness and the unconscious from which a new attitude emerges; and the expansive transcendent function literally includes and subsumes all possible psychological activities. Effectively, this implies that the latter includes a larger set of psychological activities than the former, and their relationship is one of intensity and degree. In the given cases, we find no such case where the two words represent the two similar phenomena varying in degree. Thus, the correct option is option 5.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for NMAT - 6 - Question 18
Option 1 has the words: remodeling, which means change of design, and compliant, which means agreeing or following rules or expectations. The second word makes no sense in the context of the passage. The first word, though can be used, but is not the best choice in this context, since it is generally used when referring to man-made objects, and not human cells. Thus Option 1 is eliminated. Option 2 has the words: metamorphosis, which means transformation, and receptive, which means able to receive stimuli. The first word has the meaning which the passage seeks to convey, but cannot be used, since it is not used in formal or scientific contexts. The second word does not make proper sense in the context of the passage. Thus, Option 2 is eliminated. Option 3 has the words: conversion, which means transformation, and accessible, which means able to be reached. The first word makes sense in the context of the passage. The second word however does not completely convey the meaning which the passage seeks to convey; the passage is looking for a word which means both - accessible and able to be affected negatively. Thus, Option 3 is eliminated. Option 5 has the words culmination, which means climax, and vulnerable, which means exposed to the possibility of being harmed. The second word fits perfectly in the context of the passage. The first word however makes no sense, thus eliminating Option 5. Option 4 has the words: mutation, which means alteration in cells, living things, and genetic structures, and susceptible, which means vulnerable. Both words fit perfectly in the context of the passage, thus making Option 4 the right answer.

Arrange the sentences A, B, C, and D from a logical sequence between sentences 1 and 6. 1. It is significant that one of the most common objections to competition is that it is blind. A. This is important because in a system of free enterprise based on private property chances are not equal and there is indeed a strong case for reducing the inequality of opportunity. B. Rather it is a choice between a system where it is the will of few persons that decides who is to get what and one where it depends at least partly, on the ability and the enterprise of the people concerned. C. Although competition and justice may have little else in common, it is as much a commendation of competition as of justice that it is no respecter of persons. D. The choice today is not between a system in which everybody will get what he deserves according to some universal standard and one where individuals' shares are determined by chance of goodwill. 6. The fact that opportunities open to the poor in a competitive society are much more restricted than those open to the rich, does not make it less true that in such a society the poor are more free than a person commanding much greater material comfort in a different type of society.
