Analyse the passage given and provide an appropriate answer for the question nos. 65 through 68 that follow. I have always said that Keynes would live as long as the world needed him. What the world decided, 30 years ago, was that it no longer needed him. The Keynesian revolution had been reduced to a mechanical system for stabilising economies by means of budget surpluses and deficitsmore deficits than surpluses, as it turned out, leading to the stagflationary crises of the 1970s. Keynes, the theoreticians said, was redundant, having failed to prove that the world needed Keynesian policies. The market system was automatically selfcorrecting; Keynesianism led only to inflation. And from their point of view, the theoreticians were right. The only acceptable basis of economic theorising is the assumption that human beings are rational maximisers. Grant this, and it follows that the many disturbances to which market economies are prone are the result of outside interferences. For Hayek and Friedman, the culprit was government manipulating the money supply for populist ends. No one who is not an economist believes human nature to be as economics depicts it, yet without its rationality axiom economics could not exist as the science it claims to be. Keyness understanding of human psychology in markets had two features, neither of which fits into the paradigm of mainstream economics. The first was inescapable uncertainty. The outstanding fact, he wrote in his magnum opus, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936), is the extreme precariousness of the basis of knowledge on which our estimates of prospective yield have to be made. We disguise this uncertainty from ourselves by assuming that the future will be like the past, that existing opinion correctly sums up future prospects, and by copying what everyone else is doing. But any view of the future based on so flimsy a foundation is liable to sudden and violent changes. The practice of calmness and immobility, of certainty and security, suddenly breaks down. New fears and hopes will, without warning, take charge of human conductthe market will be subject to waves of optimistic and pessimistic sentiment, which are unreasoning yet in a sense legitimate where no solid basis exists for a reasonable calculation. He saw economics as one of these pretty, polite techniques which tries to deal with the present by abstracting from the fact that we know very little about the future. In the face of uncertainty, the springs of human behaviour are very different from what economists conceive them to be. Most of our decisions to do something positive can only be taken as a result of animal spirits If animal spirits are dimmed enterprise will fade and die is one famous remark. Professional investment, he wrote, is like a game of Snap, of Old Maid, of Musical Chairs, whose object is to pass on the Old Maidthe toxic debt to ones neighbour before the music stops. Here is the recognisable anatomy of the irrational exuberance, followed by blind panic, which has dominated the present crisis.

DIRECTIONS for Questions 86 to 90: On September 5, 2007 it was reported that a new fairness cream for men by a leading pharmaceutical company, endorsed by a renowned beauty specialist, would be hitting the local stores shortly. The launch would take the number of mens fairness cream brands in the Indian consumer market to half a dozen. Most Indians, as also South Asians, have for long desired a fair complexion and their quest to shed the darker tone had prompted many Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) behemoths to venture into the business of manufacturing and marketing skin lightening products, such as fairness creams, lotions, cold creams, and soaps. In particular, fairness creams have been very popular and many FMCG companies have come out with their own brands. For instance, as of 2007, Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (HUL) had a range of products under the brand name Fair & Lovely. According to industry experts, as of 2007, the emerging skin-lightening products industry in India was worth US$318 million, and was growing at a fast rate, especially in the male-grooming sector. Skin-lightening products accounted for almost 40 percent of the Indian cosmetics industry. The growing awareness among men to look good and results of marketing research by the industry suggesting that 75 percent men were using fairness creams made for women prompted FMCG companies to manufacture separate fairness products to cater to the needs of both genders. The industry had used light-skinned models and even celebrities to endorse their fairness products, leading to a boost in the demand for skin-lightening products among the target audience. The marketing of fairness products had always been a controversial issue. Professional dermatologists have been skeptical about the effectiveness of these creams. According to them, these creams were only partly effective and merely act as sun-blocking agents, helping in preventing the skin from getting tanned. Psychologists have observed that in the Indian context, fairness is associated with power, superiority, and influence, and hence Indians prefer lighter skin. The introduction of fairness products in India has only reinforced age-old prejudices that equate fair skin with good looks. This emphasis on a light skin color and its importance in the marriage market is evident from the matrimonial columns of newspapers and matrimonial web sites. The marketing of fairness cream that plays on peoples insecurities and fear of not conforming to the norm has come in for strong criticism. Some critics are of the view that promoting a particular body image (fairness in this case) as

DIRECTIONS for Questions 95 to 97: On December 5, 2007, an explosion occurred at the coal mine owned by Rui Zhiyuan Company (RZC) in China. It was yet another deadly coal mining explosion in China reported that year. Official estimates suggested that at least 105 people might have died immediately in the gas explosion at RZC. The earlier explosions had occurred at Yujialing Coal Mine killing 26 workers in March 2007 and Pudeng Coal Mine where 28 mine workers had died in May 2007. The exact number of deaths remained a mystery. The major reason cited for hazardous conditions in coal mines was the negligent attitude of mine owners who allegedly did not pay enough attention to workplace safety. It was alleged that the mine owners often put the lives of the workers at risk by not investing in fire control and other equipment, proper ventilation, etc. In addition, mine owners in China often breached safety regulations to increase production beyond the permissible level. China relies heavily on coal due to scarcity in petroleum resources. About two-thirds of the countrys electricity is generated by burning coal, making China the largest consumer and producer of coal in the world. In addition to electricity generation, China depends on coal for running its factories which comprise Chinas huge manufacturing base. The following questions are based on two statements I and II. Examine the statements and then mark: (a) If statement I is an evidence from the passage and statement II is a conclusion that must be true based on that evidence. (b) If statement I is an evidence from the passage and statement II is a conclusion that is not necessarily true based on that evidence. BYJUS CLASSES Page 21
