समस्याओं का हल ढूंढने की क्षमता पर एक अध्ययन किया गया। इसमें भारत में तीन तरह के बच्चों के बीच तुलना की गई - एक तरफ़ वे बच्चे जो दुकानदारी करते हैं पर स्कूल नहीं जाते, ऐसे बच्चे जो दुकान सँभालते हैं और स्कूल भी जाते है और तीसरा समूह उन बच्चों का था जो स्कूल जाते है पर दुकान पर कोई मदद नहीं करते।
उनसे गणना के व इबारती सवाल पूछे गए। दोनों ही तरह के सवालों में उन स्कूली बच्चों ने जो दुकानदार नहीं हैं, मौखिक गणित या मनगणित का प्रयोग बहुत कम किया, बनिस्बत उनके जो दुकानदार थे। स्कूली बच्चों ने ऐसी गलतियाँ भी कीं, जिनका कारण नहीं समझा जा सका। इससे यह साबित होता है कि दुकानदारी से जुडे़ हुए बच्चे हिसाब लगाने में गलती नहीं कर सकते क्योंकि है इसका सीधा असर उनके काम पर पड़ता है, जबकि स्कूलों के बच्चे वहीं हिसाब लगाने मेँ अवसर भयंकर ग़लतियाँ कर देते है।
इससे यह स्पष्ट होता है कि जिन बच्चों को रोज़मर्रा की जिंदगी में इस तरह के सवालों से जूझना पड़ता है, वे अपने लिए जरूरी गणितीय क्षमता हासिल कर लेते हैं।
लेकिन साथ ही इस बात पर भी गोर करना महत्त्वपूर्ण है कि इस तरह की दक्षताएँ एक स्तर तक और कार्य- क्षेत्र तक सीमित होकर रह जाती है। इसलिए वे सामाजिक व सांस्कृतिक परिवेश जो कि ज्ञान को बनाने व बढाने में मदद करते है, वहीं उस ज्ञान को संकुचित और सीमित भी कर सकते हैं।

हम सब की मिली-जुली ज़िंदगी में कला के रूपों का ख़ज़ाना हर तरह बेहिसाब बिखरा चला गया है। सुंदरता का अवतार हमारे सामने पल-छिन होता रहता है। अब यह हम पर है, ख़ासतौर से कवियों पर, कि हम अपने सामने और चारों ओर की इस अनन्त और अपार लीला को कितना अपने अंदर बुला सकते हैं। इसका सीधा-सादा मतलब हुआ अपने चारों तरफ़ की ज़िंदगी में दिलचस्पी लेना, उसको ठीक-ठीक यानी वैज्ञानिक आधार पर समझना और अनुभूति और अपने अनुभव को इसी समझ और जानकारी से सुलझाकर स्पष्ट करके, पुष्ट करके अपनी कला-भावना को जगाना। यह आधार इस युग के हर सच्चे और ईमानदार कलाकार के लिए बेहद ज़रूरी है। इस तरह अपनी कला-चेतना को जगाना और उसकी मदद से जीवन की सच्चाई और सौंदर्य को अपनी कला में सजीव से सजीव रूप देते जाना : इसी को मैं 'साधना' समझता हूँ, और इसी में कलाकार का संघर्ष छिपा हुआ देखता हूँ। कला में भावनाओं की तराश-खराश, चमक, तेज़ी और गर्मी सब उसी से पैदा होंगी, उसी 'संघर्ष' और 'साधना' से, जिसमें अन्तर-बाह्य दोनों का मेल है। कला के इस सौंदर्य और उससे मिलने वाले आनंद के शत्रु वे जहाँ और जिस भेष में भी होंगे, जो भी होंगे-परिस्थितियाँ, व्यक्ति या दल-हर ईमानदार कलाकार के शत्रु होंगे।
कला जीवन का सच्चा दर्पण है। और आज के सभी देशों के जीवन में कायापलट तेज़ी के साथ आ रही है; क्योंकि आज किसको नहीं दिखाई दे रहा है कि यह क्रान्ति का युग है। थके हुए पुराने कलाकारों की आहों को भी उससे चमक मिलती है। नयों की तो वह काव्य सामग्री ही है ; क्योंकि वही उनके और उनके आगे की पीढ़ियों के लिए नये, उन्मुक्त, सुखी, आदर्श जीवन की नींव डालनेवाला है।

सारा संसार नीले गगन के तले अनंत काल से रहता आया है । हम थोड़ी दूरी पर ही देखते हैं क्षितिज तक, जहाँ धरतीऔरआकाश हमें मिलते दिखाई देते हैं । लेकिन जब हम वहाँ पहुँचते हैं, तो यह नज़ारा आगे खिसकता चला जाता है, और इस नज़ारे का कोई ओर-छोर हमें नहीं दिखाई देता है । ठीक इसी तरह हमारा जीवन भी है ।
ज़िंदगी की न जाने कितनी उपमाएँ दी जा चुकी हैं, लेकिन कोई भी उपमा पूर्ण नहीं मानी गई, क्योंकि जिदगी के इतने पक्ष हैं कि कोई भी उपमा उस पर पूरी तरह फ़िट नहीं बैठती । बर्नार्ड शॉ जीवन को एक खुली किताब मानते थे, और यह भी मानते थे कि सभी जीवों को समान रूप से जीने का हक़ है । वह चाहते थे कि इंसान अपने स्वार्थ में अंधा होकर किसी दूसरे जीव के जीने का हक न मारे । यदि इंसान ऐसा करता है, तो यह बहुत बड़ा अन्याय है । हमारे विचार स्वाभाविक रूप से एक-दूसरे से मेल नहीं खाते हैं, लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नहीं होता कि हम दूसरों को उसके जीने के हक़ से वंचित करें ।
यह खुला आसमान, यह प्रकृति और यह पूरा भू -मंडल हमें दरअसल यही बता रहा है कि हाथी से लेकर चींटी तक, सभी को समान रूप से जीवन बिताने का हक़ है । जिस तरह से खुले आसमान के नीचे हर प्राणी बिना किसी डर के जीने , साँस लेने का अधिकारी है, उसी तरह से मानव-जाति का स्वभाव भी होना चाहिए कि वह अपने जीने के साथ दूसरों से उनके जीने का हक न छीने । यह आसमान हमें जिस तरह से भय से छुटकारा दिलाता है, उसी तरह से हमें मानव-जाति से उन जीवों को डर से छुटकारा दिलाकर उन्हें जीने के लिए पूरा अवसर देना चाहिए । दूसरों के जीने के हक़ को छीनने से बड़ा अपराध या पाप कुछ नहीं हो सकता ।

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lily who loved to read books. She would spend all her free time in the library, reading all sorts of books. Her parents encouraged her love for reading and would often gift her books as presents. One day, while browsing through the library, Lily did stumble upon a book that was unlike any other. The book was old and dusty, and the cover had a strange symbol on it. Lily was intrigued and decided to take the book home to read. As soon as she opened the book, strange things began to happen. The room filled with a bright light, and Lily felt herself being transported to another world. She found herself standing in a beautiful garden filled with exotic flowers and trees. The sky was a brilliant shade of purple, and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers.
Lily explored this new world for hours, meeting friendly creatures and experiencing new adventures. As the day drew to a close, Lily realized that she needed to find her way back home. She searched for the book that had brought her here but couldn't find it. Just as she was about to give up hope, a kind old man appeared and asked her what was wrong. Lily explained her situation, and the old man smiled and told her that she needed to solve a riddle to find her way back home. The riddle was difficult, but Lily was determined to solve it. After hours of thinking, she finally figured out the answer. The old man congratulated her and led her to a portal that would take her back home. Lily found herself back in her own room, holding the old book in her hands. She couldn't believe what had happened and wondered if it had all been a dream. She opened the book again, but this time, everything was as it should be.
Q. Read the following statements carefully and choose the correct option:
A) Lily had no prior knowledge of the existence of the mysterious world that she found herself in after opening the old book.
B) Her love of reading, curiosity, and desire for knowledge all played a role in her frequent visits to the library.

The day the cat was killed, Maddy watched her mother wind that old clock with her same little smile, cranking the gold key into its funny little hole, as grandma wandered around the dining table in her dressing gown while her nurse read a pulp fiction on the front step, while her brothers scraped their forks against the table and dripped the last bits of potatoes and corn from their open, awful mouths, that clock sat heavy on the white carpet, at the end of the hall, mom humming along to that terrible ticking. It made Maddy's teeth clench. 'Truly, there was no point to these silly, endless family dinners. Always being six o'clock sharp and never over until that clock was wound, thirteen. years of her life wasted for this nonsense so far, burnt up in boredom, when all the while she had some very important matters to attend to back in her bedroom. The longcase clock had been left by "the previous owner, or maybe the one before that, no one was sure. Cloaked in pine wood and always counting, no birds printed around the clock face, no farm scenes or flowers, just black numbers and wiry hands and that was that. Then near the bottom, a long silver pendulum behind a square of smokey glass. It was too heavy to tip, too tall to place anything on top, old and faded and always suspect. Her brothers avoided it at night and the cat avoided it entirely (or used to). The clock face glowing round and white, over the wooden suit, like a pale faced ghost or a porcelain reaper, feetless and shadows for arms. And mom would sing along with the pendulum while the boys knocked over the kitchen chairs wrestling and playing tag, and grandmother would nap by the television and the nurse would paint her nails. All the time, her mom would smile and hum.

Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.
In this floating village in Brazil, there is only one way to travel. Students go to school by boat. Locals go to worship by boat. Taxis arrive by boat. Even the soccer field is often a boat. There are three homemade fields on land, but they are submerged now in the annual flooding of the Black River. If the wooden goal posts had nets, they would be useful this time of the year only for catching fish. So, young players and adults improvise. They play soccer at a community centre that has a roof but no walls. They play on the dock of a restaurant. And they play on a parked ferry, a few wearing life jackets to cushion their fall. The high-water mark in the Rio Negro this year was the fifth-highest in more than a century of measurements.
As scientists study the impact of deforestation on the Amazon basin, and the cooling and warming of the Pacific Ocean, extreme patterns observed over the last 25 or 30 years raise an important unanswered question: “Are these trends human-induced climate change, or can we explain this with natural variability?” Villagers said that passing boats sometimes knocked down power lines during periods of exceptionally high water. And while the soccer fields are usually available for about half the year, the land has recently been dry enough for only four or five months of play. “We don’t have a place for the children to play,” said de Sousa, a shop owner. “They are stuck in the houses, bored.” The most adventurous, though, will find a game somewhere.

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Q. The woods in winters are beautiful and:

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
The National Statistical Office (NSO) released a set of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers earlier this week. The most recent data, namely, GDP growth for the quarter ending December 2022, came at 4.4%. This is 30 basis points (0.3 percentage point) lower than what a Bloomberg poll of economists expected the number to be. NSO has retained a projection of 7% growth in 2022-23 between its first and second advance estimates, which means that GDP growth in the quarter ending March will have to be 5.1%. This goes against the widespread opinion among economists that the Indian economy is losing, not gaining growth momentum at the moment.
NSO’s latest data release includes other sets of GDP numbers as well. They include the first revised estimate for 2021-22, the second revised estimate for 2020-21 and the final estimate for 2019-20. It is not Chanakya’s intent to overwhelm the readers with bureaucratic processes involving the release of statistics, but these revisions to past GDP numbers have significantly changed the facts as far as the Indian economy’s performance is concerned. GDP growth rates for 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 have been revised upwards from the earlier figures of 3.7%, -6.6% and 8.7% to 3.9%, -5.8% and 9.1%, respectively.
The revisions have had an effect on the latest growth statistics as well. If the December 2022 quarter GDP was compared to the December 2021 GDP numbers before the latest revision, the economy would have shown an expansion of 5.1% instead of 4.4%. To be sure, there is nothing one can do about this problem of comparing hitherto revised statistics with one that will undergo a revision two years down the line. And while one can claim to be wise in hindsight, Chanakya believes that such large adjustments in a crucial economic indicator like GDP have a blindsiding effect on economic policy which ideally requires data in real-time.
But deficiencies in our statistical system are a topic for another column; let us return to the state of the economy at the moment. Any modern economy has its share of headwinds and tailwinds to growth at a given moment in time. What are the most pressing headwinds for the Indian economy right now? First is the dissipation of pent-up consumption demand, which soared after being shackled due to pandemic-era restrictions. Private consumption is the single most important driver of the Indian economy. It had a share of 60% in total GDP in the December 2022 quarter. This is not to say that private consumption is going to plunge.
