1. The official news media like All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan in India are alleged to toe official line, whether partial or impartial, and go vague and ambivalent on many critical issues of public interest. It poses a great risk of corruption and lack of transparency. Yet the ordinary people tend to interpret the degree of cautiousness the official news media adopt for many issues of national interest as a measure of restraint and to guard against public outrage.
If the above statements are true, which one of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by them?
(1) The ambivalence of official news media on some major national issues is dictated by public’s taste for averting mass movements in the country.
(2) The issues over which people feel they have no control they leave them for the government to deal in its own way.
(3) Where the private news media constitute the dominant source of information, stand of official news does not keep much importance.
(4) A host of corruption cases like 2G Spectrum scam and Cash-for-Vote scam, the official news media will give coverage more extensively than, say, fodder scam in Bihar.
(5) None of these
Direction (Q. 2-3): Answer the following questions on the basis of the reasoning or argument contained in the passages given.
2. The commercial news media overemphasis, exceptional events such as plane crashes at the expense of those such as automobile accidents, which occur far more frequently and represent a far greater risk to the public. Yet the public tends to interpret the degree of emphasis the news media give to these occurrences as indicating the degree of risk they represent.
If the statements above are true, which one of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by them?
(1) The emphasis given in the commercial news media to major catastrophes is directed by the public’s taste for the extraordinary.
(2) Events over which people feel they have no control are generally perceived as more dangerous than those which people feel they can avert or avoid.
(3) Where commercial news media constitute the dominant source of information, public perception of risk does not reflect actual risk.
(4) A massive outbreak of cholera will be covered more extensively by the news media than with the occurrence of a rarer less serious disease.
(5) None of these
3.When individual students are all treated equally they have identical exposure to curriculum material, the rate, quality and quantity of learning will vary from student to student. If all students are to master a given curriculum, some of them need different types of help than others, as any experienced teacher knows.
If the statements above are both true, which one of the following conclusions can be drawn on the basis of them?
(1) Unequal treatment, in a sense, of individual students is required in order to ensure equality with respect to the educational tasks they master.
(2) The rate and quality of learning, with learning understood as the acquiring of the ability to solve problems within a given curriculum area, depend on the quantity of teaching an individual student receives in any given curriculum.
(3) The more experienced the teacher is, the more the student will learn.
(4) All students should have identical exposure to learn the material being taught in any given curriculum.
(5) None of these

(5) More than three
ANSWERS
1. (3)
Solutions (2-3)
2. (3)
3. (1)
Solutions (4-8)
4. (3)
V > R = Q, P > Q, R ≤ S
Q = R ≤ S
I. Q < S
II. Q = S
Either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
5. (1)
Z < Y < W = M = K ≤ S
I. S > Y
II. Z = S
Y < K ≤ S
So S > Y is true
6, (1)
P > R < N, P = M ≤ S
I. S > R
II. N > M
R < P = M ≤ S
So S > R follows
7. (2)
K = M ≥ L < S = T ≤ R
I. M = T II. R > L
L < S = T ≤ R
So R > L follows
