कृष्ण और कालिन्दी दोनों एक - दूसरे के पूरक हैं। यह तो नहीं कहा सकता कि कदम्ब के बिना कृष्ण अधूरे थे, किन्तु उसका अभाव अवश्य खटकता है। प्रसिद्ध है कृष्ण की बंसी की मधुर आवाज और गोपियों की कृष्णोत्सर्ग प्रेम - कथाएँ। भोर का फूटता प्रभात हो या रात्रि की छिड़ती रागिनी हो।
जब कभी कृष्ण की मुरली पेड़ - पौधों, कुंज लताओं को चीरती, गूँजती हुई गोप - बालाओं के कानों में पहुँचती थी, वे प्रेम में भावविह्नल हो, मदहोश बनी अपने प्रिय के पास चल पड़ती थीं। कहते हैं मुरलीधर का सान्निध्य पाने की गोपियों की अकुलाहट परमात्म - तत्त्व में मिलने की आत्मा की छटपटाहट का संकेत है। इस लौकिकता में भी अलौकिकता अन्तर्निहित है, पर इस अलौकिकता को पहुचे हुए लोग ही समझ पाते हैं। मुझ जैसों की क्या बिसात ? मेरे लिए तो आत्मा और परमात्मा का सम्बन्ध किसी भी प्रकार की क्लिष्टता से बढ़कर है।
मुझे, अगर कुछ सूझता है, तो बस कदम्ब, जिसकी पूर्ण आकृति से लेकर फूल, फल, पत्तियों, मकरन्द, यहाँ तक कि उन सूक्ष्म कोशिकाओं के स्वरूप भी अपनी व्याख्या चाहते हैं मुझसे। कृष्ण का ग्वाल-बालों के साथ वृन्दावन की झुरमुटों और वनों में गायों का चराना, उनकी मनभावनी बंसी की मधुर आवाज सुन गायों का सम्भाना या फिर कृष्ण की माखन चोरी, गोपियों का उलाहना, यशोदा माता की डाँट - फटकार सारे - के - सारे कृष्ण कृतित्व कदम्ब के इर्द - गिर्द चक्कर लगाते प्रतीत होते हैं।

B
क्योंकि वह यह मानता है कि कदम्ब के वृक्ष के बिना कृष्ण पूरे नहीं हैं
C

कृष्ण और कालिन्दी दोनों एक - दूसरे के पूरक हैं। यह तो नहीं कहा सकता कि कदम्ब के बिना कृष्ण अधूरे थे, किन्तु उसका अभाव अवश्य खटकता है। प्रसिद्ध है कृष्ण की बंसी की मधुर आवाज और गोपियों की कृष्णोत्सर्ग प्रेम - कथाएँ। भोर का फूटता प्रभात हो या रात्रि की छिड़ती रागिनी हो।
जब कभी कृष्ण की मुरली पेड़ - पौधों, कुंज लताओं को चीरती, गूँजती हुई गोप - बालाओं के कानों में पहुँचती थी, वे प्रेम में भावविह्नल हो, मदहोश बनी अपने प्रिय के पास चल पड़ती थीं। कहते हैं मुरलीधर का सान्निध्य पाने की गोपियों की अकुलाहट परमात्म - तत्त्व में मिलने की आत्मा की छटपटाहट का संकेत है। इस लौकिकता में भी अलौकिकता अन्तर्निहित है, पर इस अलौकिकता को पहुचे हुए लोग ही समझ पाते हैं। मुझ जैसों की क्या बिसात ? मेरे लिए तो आत्मा और परमात्मा का सम्बन्ध किसी भी प्रकार की क्लिष्टता से बढ़कर है।
मुझे, अगर कुछ सूझता है, तो बस कदम्ब, जिसकी पूर्ण आकृति से लेकर फूल, फल, पत्तियों, मकरन्द, यहाँ तक कि उन सूक्ष्म कोशिकाओं के स्वरूप भी अपनी व्याख्या चाहते हैं मुझसे। कृष्ण का ग्वाल-बालों के साथ वृन्दावन की झुरमुटों और वनों में गायों का चराना, उनकी मनभावनी बंसी की मधुर आवाज सुन गायों का सम्भाना या फिर कृष्ण की माखन चोरी, गोपियों का उलाहना, यशोदा माता की डाँट - फटकार सारे - के - सारे कृष्ण कृतित्व कदम्ब के इर्द - गिर्द चक्कर लगाते प्रतीत होते हैं।

नव उपभोक्ता संस्कृति ने पूरे विश्व को खोखली यथार्थवादी सोच दी है। सांस्कृतिक उपनिवेशवाद ने तो हद ही कर दी। यह सांस्कृतिक उपनिवेशवाद बड़े राष्ट्रों और छोटे राष्ट्रों, धनी राष्ट्रों और गरीब राष्ट्रों एवं विकसित राष्ट्रों और विकासशील राष्ट्रों के बीच में ही रखा तरबूज नहीं है, बल्कि यह एक राष्ट्र और समाज के भीतर पनपता नया स्वकेन्द्रित यथार्थ भी है। मनुष्य की अँजुरी में सहेजे भाव, मुट्ठी भर राख हो गए। कोई आदर्श सुरक्षित नहीं बचा। स्वार्थ के बेखौफ बौखलायेपन ने सम्बन्धों, मूल्यों और संवेदनाओं की जड़ों में अँगारे दाब दिए। पहले के समाज में स्वार्थ न रहा हो, उपभोक्ता न रहा हो, ऐसी बात नहीं है, पर वे लोग मनुष्य पहले थे, उपभोक्ता बाद में। खाते समय कोई आ जाए और घर में यदि और भोजन न हो, तो अपनी थाली में से ही थोड़ा - सा उस भूखे को देने की बात कही गई है। पुराने समय में लोग ऐसा करते भी रहे हैं। इसे नैतिकता भले ही कहे, पहले तो यह मनुष्यता रही है। मनुष्य के सौन्दर्य - बोध और संवेदना का परिष्कार और विस्तार तो होना ही चाहिए। अपनी जरूरतों के साथ दूसरों की जरूरतों का ध्यान और उनकी पूर्ति में समान और समभाव भी व्यक्ति को एक तरह से सांसारिक संयासी ही बनाता है। संकीर्णता, तुच्छता, ढोग और डायनपने से बाहर निकलकर मानवता की उच्चतर जमीन पाना, मुक्ति की रातरानी के देश में पहुँच जाना है। जहाँ बुद्ध, कबीर और गाँधी पहूच सके थे।

Question 81Single Answer
Passage :
Direction : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
Did you know that there is a fiber that is as flexible and lightweight as nylon yet five times stronger than steel ? Did you know that this fabric is resistant to temperatures higher than 500°F ? Did you know that a woman invented this fiber ? This miraculous fabric is called Kevlar and it is used to make everything from body armor to musical instruments.
The year was 1964. There were gasoline shortages due to conflict in the Middle East. A Polish - American chemist named Stephanie Louise Kwolek was working for DuPont, an American Chemical Company. She and her group were trying to make a lightweight, yet durable fibre to be used in tires. Lighter tires would allow vehicles to get better gas mileage, but the tires had to be strong enough to resist the wear and tear of the road. They had been working on the problem for some time and had little success, until Kwolek had a breakthrough.
Kwolek and her group were synthesizing or creating fibres to test. During one of the steps in the process, Kwolek created a milky white solution by mixing two chemicals that were often used in the process. This solution was usually thrown away, but Kwolek convinced one of the technicians to help her test it. They were amazed to discover that the fabric that Kwolek had created was not only more durable than nylon, it was more durable than steel.
Kwolek had invented Kevlar. Kevlar is a remarkable fabric known for its strength and durability. Since its invention it has found its way into a wide variety of products. Kevlar is used in sporting equipment like bike tires, bowstrings and tennis racquets. It is used in musical instruments like drum heads, reeds and speaker cones. And it is used in protective gear like motorcycle safety jackets, gloves and shoes. However, Kevlar is best known for its ability to stop bullets.
Richard Armellino created the first Kevlar bulletproof vest in 1975. It contained 15 layers of Kevlar, which could stop handgun and shotgun bullets. The vest also had a steel plate over the heart, which made the vest strong enough to stop rifle rounds. Vests like Armellino's were quickly picked up by police forces and it is estimated that by 1990, half of all police officers in America wore bulletproof vests daily. By 2006, there were over 2,000 documented police vest 'saves', or instances where officers were protected from deadly wounds by wearing bulletproof vests.
Which one of the following is not a product that has been made with Kevlar ?
A
Body armor
B
Tennis racquets
C
Bungee jumping cord
D
Brake pads

Question 87Single Answer
Passage :
Direction : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
Man who is believed to have evolved from apes, is a curious mixture of varied motives. He is not only the subject of needs, but is also their creator. He not only seeks to satisfy his needs but also caters to his desire for beauty and grace. He is eager to satisfy his passion for more and more knowledge. Although in a general way, the maxim 'necessity is the mother of invention' is true, it is by no means the whole truth. Man is something much greater than an intelligent being using his intellect to make newer inventions from time to time.
He has within him a spirit which is ever exhorting him to cut down his needs and learn to be happy with what he has. The real purpose underlying this maxim lies in its utility in the worldly sense. It tells us to be up and doing, not to be passive in our attitude to life. It asks us not to remain slaves of old habits and ways of life. We must face the new situations with a creative mind. Every new difficulty, every new problem, which confronts us in life, can be tackled successfully with the spirit of inventiveness.
Which one of the following is not the whole truth according to the passage ?
A
Man learns to be happy with what he has
B
Man has a desire for beauty and grace
C
Necessity is the mother of invention
D
Man desires to cut down his needs and wants

He not only seeks to satisfy his needs but also caters to his desire for beauty and grace. He is eager to satisfy his passion for more and more knowledge. Although in a general way, the maxim 'necessity is the mother of invention' is true, it is by no means the whole truth. Man is something much greater than an intelligent being using his intellect to make newer inventions from time to time.
He has within him a spirit which is ever exhorting him to cut down his needs and learn to be happy with what he has. The real purpose underlying this maxim lies in its utility in the worldly sense. It tells us to be up and doing, not to be passive in our attitude to life. It asks us not to remain slaves of old habits and ways of life. We must face the new situations with a creative mind. Every new difficulty, every new problem, which confronts us in life, can be tackled successfully with the spirit of inventiveness.

A
To be active in life and do something to help mankind
B
To be worldly in the strict sense of the term
