ENGLISH
Directions (41 50): Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions given below it. Certain words
have been printed in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
Despite these tremendous achievements, the Indian
economy was bogged down in recent years by various
factors. These included inadequate infrastructure, a
deteriorating financial position characterized by rising
fiscal and current account deficits, and most
importantly, fractious coalition governments that made
it difficult to achieve consensus and push through the
tough reforms needed to take the economy to the next
level.
The second wave of landmark reforms may not be as
dramatic as the first wave that commenced in 1991, but
they will have far-reaching effects on the Indian
economy just the same. Proposed measures include
infrastructure development, implementation of a goods
and services (GST) tax that could contribute to a
percentage point increase in annual GDP growth, and
opening up more areas of the economy to foreign
investment. Another priority would be reducing the
burgeoning subsidy bill that had grown fivefold over
the past decade to 2.6 trillion rupees annually.
Long term growth drivers for India.
Demographic dividend: Half of Indias 1.2billion populations is under the age of 25. By 2020,
India will have the worlds youngest population, with a
median age of 29 years, compared with a median age
of 37 in China. This demographic dividend could
potentially give India the biggest labour force and
make it the largest consumer market in the world.
Growing middle class: Indias middle class of 250
million already represents one of the biggest consumer
markets in the world. This educated, tech-savvy and
relatively affluent group is expected to continue its
rapid growth in the years ahead.
Low penetration of goods and services: Despite the
economys progress over the past quarter- century, the
Indian market still has a relatively low penetration of
goods and services, which translates into massive
untapped potential. For example, in 2009, there were
only 11 passenger cars per 1,000 people in India,

compared with 34 in China, 179 in Brazil, 233 in

Russia, and 440 in the U.S.
A functioning democracy: One of Indias greatest
strengths is that it is a vibrant and functioning- albeit a
trifle chaotic democracy, where the electorate
regularly exercises its constitutional right to kick out
non-performing governments. Indias army, one of the
worlds largest, is also staunchly apolitical aloof from
political shenanigans.
Established companies and institutions: India has a
thriving business sector with dynamic SMEs and large
companies that are increasingly expanding overseas,
educational institutions that are among the worlds
best, and competent financial organizations.
The longer term outlook for the Indian economy is
getting brighter just as that of its BRIC counterparts is
getting murkier.
The IMF projected in 2014 World Economic report
suggest that the Indian economy would accelerate from
a 5.6% pace in 2014 to 6.4% in 2015 propelled by
rising exports and investment. In contrast, Chinas
growth is projected to moderate to a more sustainable
pace, from 7.4% in 2014 to 7.1% in 2015, as
decelerating credit growth slows investment and real
estate activity continues to ease. While China continues
to grow at a faster pace than India, the performance
differential is shrinking, and for the first time in years,
the growth trajectories are moving in opposite
directions.
The outlook for Brazil and Russia is much less
positive. The Brazilian economy contracted in the first
half of 2014, and is forecast to grow only 0.3% in
2014, hindered by political uncertainty, low business
confidence and tighter financial conditions. The IMF
forecasts growth to rebound modestly to 1.4% in 2015.
Russia is forecast to post the slowest growth of the
BRIC nations in 2014 and 2015, as economic sanctions
in the wake of the Ukraine conflict take their toll on the
economy.
41. Which of the following factors as mentioned in the
passage is not one that bogged down the Indian
economy in recent years?
(a) troubling coalition governments
(b) bad financial position with rising fiscal and current
account deficits.
(c) Inadequate infrastructure
(d) frequent parliamentary elections causing heavy loss
to exchequer.
(e) None of these

10%. When korea took off in the 1970s, its figures
