1 )

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Fortunately, more and more countries are shifting their focus away from industrial development to control of climate change these days.

A. The countries which focus more on controlling climate change than industrial development are only the richer ones which can afford to concentrate on areas other than industrial development.

B. Many countries had once prioritized industrial development which proved to be harmful to the environment in the longer run.

C. Some experts are of the view that climate change is not as alarming an issue as it is made to be because it is a natural phenomenon and has been occurring regularly throughout the history of earth

D. If climate change continues at the present rate, it would bring in large scale destruction to human habitation in a very short time

E. Industrial development is one of the biggest but definitely not the only reason behind global warming.

Que:  Which of the statements numbered (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) can be an assumed/inferred from the facts/information given in the statement? (An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted and an inference is something which is not directly stated but can be inferred from the given facts.)

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:

A host of foreign companies are in talks with the Indian government for selling B150, a tough, short-haul plane ideal for connectivity of smaller towns which is lacking in India at present.

A. B150 planes have not only low operating costs than competing planes like Cezana but also a much better track record in terms of safety and efficiency.

B. The profit margin of road transport operators in the smaller towns connected by B150 planes has been reduced substantially as a majority of people prefer air transport over other means of transport.

C. Smaller towns, at present, are better connected by roads and railways as compared to flight services.

D. B150 planes are capable of operating in sectors where large airlines cannot fly due to challenging conditions such as mist, short runways, etc. Such planes can also double up as cargo planes and charter flights for the rich and the elite.

E. B150 planes need to operate in the existing airports which are situated in bigger cities only and are poorly connected to the smaller cities.
