Passage
1
Transport,
in India ,
plays a crucial role in ensuring sustained economic growth and is vital for the
development of the various segments of the economy. The need for according high
priority to the transport sector flows virtually from the size of this country
as well as from the geographical dispersal of its natural resources. Transport
services, unlike other commodities, are neither tradable nor can they be
stored. Transportation is also an aggregate of many linear situations and, as
such, highly susceptible to cumulative chain reactions. It is subject to wide fluctuations in demand
intensities. Investments in transport infrastructure usually have to be in
fairly large indivisible units, which prevent precise or continuous 'matching'
of demand and supply. All these factors, combined together, make it desirable,
as far as possible, to provide a certain amount of flexibility and cushion in
the transport system, to prevent bottlenecks and the consequent chain reactions
in the economy.
The
transport sector is one of the largest consumers of the commercial energy,
consuming nearly 33 per cent of the total.
In assessing therefore, the desirable level of inter modal split of
freight traffic between railways and roads and while making resource cost
comparisons in this context, appropriate weight has to be give to the relative
energy intensities

Passage
2
The
transformation of the Indian cities faces several structural constraints.
Foremost, the current urban development model starves cities of financing.
Also, weak or outdated urban management practices - inappropriate planning
systems, unsustainable service delivery models, and lack of focus on the urban
poor - negate the benefits of agglomeration economies in Indian cities by
distorting land and housing markets, rendering cities non-creditworthy and
leaving them with expensive yet poorly functioning urban services.
The
current urban management techniques are also out- moded. The Master Plan
concept - as currently practised in India - is not widely used
elsewhere. Besides it is not well suited to rapidly growing cities and
multi-jurisdiction urban agglomerations. The Master Plan concept has also not
been useful in addressing India 's
large and widely spread slums. By locking-in the supply of buildable land and
space, the Master plan, inter alia, inhibits the development of housing markets
and contributes to the proliferation of slums.
Therefore there is an urgent need to develop new management and service
deliver approaches across the board.
47. Consider the following statements
1.
Indian Cities are facing acute financing problem
2. Weak
urban management results in poorly functioning urban services
As per

57. Neurobiologists are providing visual
evidence that learning promotes brain health in school students. On the basis

the neurobiologists' recommendations?

possible to learn at any age irrespective of brain health
b)
Learning continues to promote brain health under all conditions

effects of aging on the brain are not well understood

mental stimulation need not be triggered only by learning
Answer: B
