PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)
According to Seymour M Hersh, Barack Obama did
not tell the whole story when he tried to make the case that
Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the chemical weapons
attack near Damascus on 21 August. He omitted important
intelligence, presented some assumptions as fact and failed
to acknowledge that the Syrian army is not the only part in
the countrys civil war with access to sarin. In the months
before the attack, the American intelligence agencies
produced a series of highly classified reports citing
evidence that the al-Nusra Front, a jehadi group affiliated
with al-Qaeda, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin
and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity. When
the attack occurred al-Nusra should have been a suspect,
but the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify
a strike against Assad, writes Hersh. One high-level
intelligence officer wrote in an email that the attack was
not the result of the current regime. When Obama decided
to walk away from his red-line threat to bomb Syria, it
appears possible that at some point he was directly
confronted with contradictory information: evidence strong
enough to persuade him to cancel his attack plan. Hersh
ends by saying that the irony of the situation is that while
the Syrian regime continues the process of eliminating its
chemical arsenal, al-Nusra and its Islamist allies could
end up as the only faction inside Syria with access to the
ingredients that can create sarin.
191. Which of the following statements is based on the
facts mentioned in the given passage?
(A) Barack Obama elaborated the whole story while
trying to accuse Bashar al-Assad for chemical
attack on Damascus.
(B) The onus for the use of chemical weapons near
Damascus lies on al-Qaeda.
(C) Bashar al-Assad successfully averted the effort
of chemical attack on Syria.
(D) According to Barack Obama, none other than
Bashar al-Assad is responsible for the 21 August
chemical attack on Damascus.
192. Which of the following is not true on the basis of the
given passage?
(A) Prior to the attack, the American intelligence
agencies had produced evidence about
involvement of al-Nusra front in making chemical
weapons.
(B) The al-Nusra front is a jehadi group affiliated with
al-Qaeda.
(C) The al-Qaeda had mastered the mechanics of
creating sarin in huge quantity.
(D) All the above
193. Who among the following wrote in an email that the
attack was not the result of the current regime?

weapons.

used in the passage?
(A) Picking selectively
(B) Picking up cherries
(C) Something in ones control
(D) Arranging the things in order
PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)
Worthless currency is not necessarily useless. It can
be a pointed way of shaming someone who asks for a
bribe. That is the thinking behind zero-rupee notes, an
Indian anti-corruption gimmick now attracting worldwide
interest. They look roughly like 50-rupee notes; people are
encouraged to hand them to corrupt officials, signalling
resistance to sleaze.
Vijay Anand, founder of the 5th Pillar, an anti-bribery
campaign that launched the notes, calls them a non-violent
weapon of non co-operation. His group has distributed
more than 2.5m zero-rupee notes since 2007. The idea is
catching on. Campaigners from Argentina, Nepal, Mexico
and Benin have been in touch asking for details. Malaysia
is mulling a similar project. And a worthless note will be
launched in Yemen next year.
Yemen is usually reckoned to be one of the worlds
most corrupt countries. But Mariam Adnan, an activist
there, says a new generation may be amenable to change.
Her group is handing out 5000 honest riyals in schools
and universities. You have to change minds before you
can change laws, she says.
Such campaigns might be risky in countries where
bribes are extorted at gunpoint. But in places where public
opinion is already shifting, they could be a useful way of
making bureaucrats behave better. Shaazka Beyerle, an
expert on civil resistance campaigns, says that using zerorupee note offers protection. It shows a persons affiliation
with a larger movement which cannot be brushed aside by

one angry official.

196. What is the central idea of the given passage?
(A) It is essential to issue fake currency as a way of
shaming the corrupt official who asks for a bribe.
(B) The zero-rupee note stands as a non-violent
weapon of non-cooperation.
(C) The resistance campaigns can be successful
where bribes are extorted at gunpoint.
(D) It is worthless to think about the success of fake
currency as a means to fight against corruption.
197. Which of the following is true about the 5th Pillar
campaign?
(A) It is anti-bribery campaign.
(B) Under the 5th Pillar campaign more than two-anda-half million fake currency notes have been
distributed so far.
(C) Under the said campaign zero-rupee notes have
been launched as non-violent weapons of noncooperation.
(D) All the above
198. What is the intention behind launching zero-rupee
notes?
(A) To use them as a tool to fight against inflation
(B) To hand them to children to make fun
(C) To cheat innocent people and destablise Indias
economy
(D) To shame someone who asks for a bribe
199. What has been the impact of the anti-bribery campaign
launched by Vijay Anand?
(i) The idea of the anti-bribery campaign is catching
on and the campaigners from a few foreign
countries are asking for details.
(ii) Malaysia has outright rejected the concept of
using fake currency as a means of fighting against
corruption.
(iii) Yemen is going to launch worthless notes in line
with 5th Pillar of India.
(A) Only (i) and (ii)
(B) Only (ii) and (iii)
(C) Only (i) and (iii)
(D) All (i), (ii) and (iii)
200. What is the nearest meaning of the word mulling as
used in the passage?
(A) To make wine and beer
(B) To ponder over something
(C) To reject an idea
(D) To crush something into pieces

On comparing with standard equation of circle

We get, g = 4, f = 2 and c = 4

Let C' be the centre of circle whose equation

is x2 + y2 2x 6y + 6 = 0
C' = (1, 3) (Comparing it to general equation
of the circle)
Now, the equation of the circle with centre
at (2, 1) is
(x 2)2 + (y 1)2 = r2
or, x2 4x + 4 + y2 2y + 1 r2 = 0
or, x2 + y2 4x 2y + 5 r2 = 0
Comparing the two equations, we get
2x 6y + 6 = 4x 2y + 5 r2

Now putting x = 1 and y = 3, we get
