Directions (Q. 41 - 50): Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions given below it.
Once upon a time, there lived a lion in a forest. A jackal, a crow and a wolf
had developed friendship with him. However, all the three had a selfish motive
behind this so-called friendship. They knew that the lion was the king of the
forest and friendship with such a fierce creature would always help them. To
meet their selfish ends, they started obeying and were always at the service of
the lion.
They didn't have to make any efforts to search for their food, as the lion gave
his leftover meals to them. Moreover, they became powerful as they were next to
the king of the forest. One day, a camel, who came from some distant land, lost
his way and entered the same forest where these three friends happened to pass
the same way that the camel was wandering. When they saw the camel, they
realized that he did not belong to their forest. The jackal suggested to his other

two friends, "Let's kill and eat him." the wolf replied, "It is a big animal. We
cannot kill him like this. I think, we should first inform our king about this
camel." the crow agreed with the wolf's idea. All of them went to meet the lion.
On reaching the lion's den, the jackal approached the lion and said, "Your
Majesty, an unknown camel has dared to enter your kingdom without your consent.
Let's kill him; he could make a nice meal." The lion roared loudly on hearing this
and said, 'What are you saying? The camel has come for refugee in my kingdom.
It is unethical to kill him. We should provide him the best shelter. Go and bring
him to me." All of them were dispirited to hear these words from the king. They
unwillingly went to the camel and told him about the lion's desire to meet him.
The camel was scared about the strange offer. He thought that his end had come
and in a little while he would become the lion's meal. As he couldn't even escape,
he decided to meet the lion. The selfish friends escorted the camel to the lion's
den. The lion welcomed the camel warmly and assured him of a safe stay in the
forest. The camel was totally amazed to hear the lions words. He happily started
living with the jackal, the crow and the wolf.
One day, when the lion was hunting for food, he had a struggle with a
mighty elephant. The lion was badly injured in the struggle and became incapable
of hunting for his food. Thus the lion had to sustain without food for days. Due to
this, his friends too had to go hungry for days as they totally depended on the
lions kill for their food. But the camel was satisfied grazing around in the forest.
All the three friends were worried and discussed the matter among them.
As the jackal, the crow and the wolf had set their evil eves on the camel, they
met once again and devised a plan to kill the camel. They went to the camel and
said. Dear Friend, you know our king has not eaten anything for many days now.
He is unable to hunt due to his wounds and sickness. Under such circumstances,
it becomes our duty to sacrifice ourselves to save the life of our king. Come with
us, we will offer our bodies as food for him. The camel didnt understand their
plan, but innocently nodded in favour of it. All of them approached the lions den.
First of all, the crow came forward and said, Your Majesty, I cant see you
like this. So please eat me. The lion replied, I would prefer to die than to
perform such a sinful deed. then, the jackal came forward and said, Your Majesty,
crows body is too small for your appetite. I offer myself to you, as it is my duty to
save your life. The lion politely rejected the offer. As per the plan, now it was the
wolfs turn to offer himself to the king. So, the wolf came forward and said, Your
Majesty, jackal is quite small to gratify your hunger. I offer myself for thin kind
job. Please kill me and appease your hunger. But the Lion didnt kill any of them.
The camel, who was watching the whole scene felt reassured of his safety and
also decided to go forward and complete the formality. He marched forward and
said, Your Majesty, why dont you kill me? You are my friend. Please allow me to
offer you my body. The lion found the offer quite appropriate as the camel himself
had offered his body for food. The lion attacked the camel at once, ripped open his
body and tore him into pieces. The lion and his friends feasted on the poor camel
for days together.
Why could the lion not any more?
(1) He had become lazy as his friends had provided him with food all the time
(2) There were no animals left in the forest besides his friends
(3) He had injured himself badly in a fight with an elephant
(4) He was too old and his bones were weak
(5) None
Why were the jackal, the crow and the wolf friends with the lion?
(1) As they got food easily and were also powerful in the lions presence
(2) As the lion was really weak and they could take over the kingship soon
(3) As the loved to hunt along with the lion and he taught them new tricks every time
(4) As there was no other powerful animal in the forest
(5) As they were scared of the lion and had no other alternative
