Reading Comprehension:
The strength of the pharmaceutical industry is evident in the existence of 5,877 manufacturing units
in India producing 20,000 formulations under 8,000 branded names. This rosy picture of the
pharmaceutical industry however is reflected neither in availability of drugs for important public
health problems nor in the affordability of drugs for domestic users. The innumerable
formulationsproduced, packaged and sold by pharmaceutical companies do not reflect the
seriousness of important public health requirements in India.
Take for example, formulations to treat iron deficiency anemia, a highly prevalent public health
problem affecting the majority of adolescent girls and pregnant women. If we examine the iron
preparations that are in the 300 top selling drugs in India, none of them is the simple iron sulphate
and folic acid tablet that the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) recommends. In addition, a
course of drugs to treat this ailment could cost a wage laborer up to two months wages.
There are over 20,000 drug formulations in India. Their prices are poorly regulated, if at all. There is
wide variation between the minimum and maximum cost of drugs for a range of medicinal classes.
Among commonly used drugs in clinical practice, such as antibiotics, anti-hypertensives and diabetic
drugs, prices often vary from 2 to 20 times between the minimum and maximum price bands. Drugs
for conditions like cancer, rheumatological diseases and erectile dysfunction have a 20-fold price
variation across brands. The pharmaceutical sector is the only one in India (and probably in the
world) where government tender procurement prices are 1 to 3 per cent of the retail market prices!
This if anything indicates the level of overpricing at the retail level. An example: a drug company bids
to supply albendazole 400 mg tablets, a medicine for worms, to the Tamil Nadu government at a
mere 35 paise per tablet, while brands of this drug sell for Rs.16 in the open market. Thus, while the
markets have been profitable for the pharmaceutical industry, they have been disastrous for the
end-users who are hit both by the disease and the unaffordable medications that they are made to
buy.
We may infer therefore that the cost of branded medications (or branded generics) is several times
the cost of the unbranded generics of the same drug. For drug companies, the only criterion seems
to be - both logically and internationally - to sell at what the market can take, and this means at the
perceived (not the same as real, scientific) value of the drug. Further in India, the same drug is sold
at vastly different prices by equally reputed companies and often by the same company.
96. According to the author what does the availability of drugs with over 20,000 formulations
indicate in
the present scenario?
A Strength of the pharmaceutical industry
B Poor regulation leading to profits for the pharmaceutical industry
C The importance given to public health requirements in India
D The importance of the 8000 branded names that produce these formulations.
97. In the overall context of the passage, what does the example of iron deficiency illustrate?
A Anemia is a widely prevalent public health problem that affects adolescent girls and
pregnant women.
B There are 300 top selling drugs in India to treat iron deficiency.
C None of the available drugs has the simple formulation recommended by the National List of
Essential Medicines.
D Treatment of iron deficiency becomes a financial burden for the poor.
98. What is the clearest indicator of overpricing of drugs?
A Wide variation between minimum and maximum price for the same class of medicines.
B Drug companies sell at a lower price to the Tamil Nadu government.
C Branded drug costs much more than the generic drug.
D Treatment of an ailment would cost a laborer up to two months wage.
99. What is the main argument extended by the author in the passage given above?
A The 20000 and above formulations of drugs produced do not meet public health requirements
in India.
B Generic drugs are available at lower costs and the government should procure them for the poor
C Markets have profited the pharmaceutical industry
D The expansion of the pharmaceutical industry has been at the cost of public healt
100. How may we understand the author’s use of the phrase “perceived value of the drug”?
A As the ability of people to purchase drugs across a price band
B As the importance given to a particular brand of drugs
C As the willingness of people to pay due to their belief in the drug’s healing powers
D As the notion that the drug will effectively cure health problems

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. In the past four decades, people
around the world have become increasingly aware of the problem of energy. Traditional energy
sources such as oil and natural gas are dwindling rapidly. In many countries, this has meant
extracting natural resources at the expense of the environment. In order to solve this problem,
scientists are looking for new ways to satisfy the world’s energy needs. One possible solution to the
energy problem is a “solar paint” called “Sun-believable”. Scientists at the University of Notre Dame
have invented a paint that can produce energy. The paint has energy-producing particles called
“quantum dots” that convert sunlight into electricity. Despite the promise of solar paint, there are
still some problems. While the paint only converts about one per cent of light to energy, it is cheap
to make and can be used anywhere. Scientists are trying to make the paint more efficient in
converting sunlight to energy. Garbage and waste can also be changed to energy but there are some
issues with this method. This method, called ‘Waste to Energy’ or WtE, has become popular in the
last decade. In this, solid waste is burned at very high temperatures to create energy. However, the
burning process causes pollution and creates more problems. Some new energy plants use a cleaner
method of converting waste to energy. However, these types of energy plants still emit carbon
dioxide (CO2), which contributes to other environmental problems. Waste to Energy plants remain
somewhat controversial among scientists and environmental activists. Finally, the use of wind as a
source of energy is becoming more popular recently. Floating wind farms are large groups of big
wind turbines (fans) that many countries are beginning to build. Building the turbines on the ocean is
more effective than building them on land because there tends to be a steadier and stronger wind
on the ocean. Building the farms on the ocean also helps save valuable space in crowded countries.
101. According to the passage, the disadvantage of ‘solar paint’ is that the:
A manufacturing process takes time
B paint is cheap to make and can be used anywhere

C scientists are not able to make the ‘quantum dots’ better
D paint only converts about one percent of light to energy
102. Based on the passage, we can say that the problem with the ‘Waste to Energy’ method
is that it:
A has led to a debate between scientists and activists
B is not very energy efficient

C leads to more pollution
D needs new types of energy plants
103. In the last paragraph of the passage, the writer suggests that:
A in the last few years many countries have come together to develop floating wind farms
B building floating wind turbines is better because the wind is stronger and steadier in the
ocean
C we will see a significant reduction in the number of floating wind turbines in use within
the next decade
D crowded countries must consider using wind as a source of energy because it saves space
104. According to the passage, conventional energy sources
A have disappeared in the last few decades
B have become more easily available

C are not easy to extract
D are diminishing quickly
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
The tale, the parable and the fable are all common and popular modes of conveying instruction -
each being distinguished by its own special characteristics. The tale is the narration of a story either
founded on facts, or created solely by the imagination, and not necessarily associated with the
teaching of any moral lesson. A parable is a short story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson
and it comes from a Greek word meaning ‘comparison’. The fable, a short fictional Downloaded from
cracku.in . story, partly agrees with, and partly differs from both of these. It will contain, like the tale,
a short but real narrative; it will seek, like the parable, to convey a hidden meaning, and that not so
much by the use of language, as by the skillful introduction of fictitious characters; and yet unlike
both the tale or parable, it will ever keep in view, the great purpose of instruction, and will
necessarily seek to inculcate some moral maxim, social duty, or general truth. The purpose of a fable
is to convey moral messages to the readers and this objective is usually achieved through animals,
birds or trees that behave and speak as human beings. As the story conveyed through the fable
progresses, the reader becomes appreciative of all that is pure, honourable and praiseworthy, and
critical of all that is low, dishonourable and unworthy. In a fable, the reader receives advice without
perceiving the presence of the adviser and it is for this reason that the advice finds greater
acceptance. The true fabulist (a writer of fables) therefore, is all of these- a teacher, a corrector of
morals, a commender of virtue and a censor of vice. It is in this that the fable scores a point over the
tale and the parable.
105. The passage suggests that one of the objectives of a fable is to:
A make the reader understand animal nature
B uplift a man’s character
C discuss the problems of contemporary society
D describe the past

106. By stating that the fabulist is a ‘great teacher, a corrector of morals, a censor of vice,
and a commender of virtue’, the writer implies that:
A there is a need for more fabulists because they can reform society
B fabulists must be honoured and respected above other writers
C as a multifaceted personality the fabulist can take the place of teachers and censors
D the fabulist plays an important role in society because his writings fulfil many purposes
107. Based on the passage, it could be suggested that the difference between a tale and a
parable lies in the:
A presence of a concealed meaning
B depiction of facts
C length of the narrative

D choice of characters
108. The main idea of the passage is that:
A the reader should learn to appreciate the creativity of the writer of tales, parables and
fables.
B the fable is superior to the tale and the parable because it conveys a moral in the form of
a story
C the fable’s message may be hidden because it is based on both facts and imagination.
D the difference between the tale, the parable and the fable lies in the portrayal of
characters.
