• Question 3 of 5 3. Question Dynamic policy institute in the 1970 to include the development of energy command have been terminating in many countries. In common, the approach is one of trade as natural. India is no omission. There is no proof of approval at the rule level of the fact that for India the power future is probable to be bleak and that ensuring sufficient energy accessibility to maintain even an unassuming rate of financial development will be a main test. Energy consumption is not end in itself. Its importance lies in the fact that it is an essential overhead for economic development. Energy plays an overhead for economic development.Energy plays a dual role. It is an input towards the productive sectors of the economy, namely agricultural and industry and the supporting infrastructure of transport. It is also a consumer good, energy consumed in household has a direct impact on the quality of life. It is not surprising, therefore those studies of energy consumption patterns across countries and over periods of time clearly establish a correlation between per capita consumption and per capita income. The equity aspect must therefore figure as an element of energy policy. The fundamental features of India’s power circumstances are well recognised and do not need amplification. Per capita expenditure of power is low, about one-fourth of the world standard. Q3. The energy policy makers, according to the passage, should take due cognizance of the fact that (a)The energy requirement of the rich in India does not differ from that of the poor. (b)India's energy situation is sound and there will be no shortage in the next future (c)India's energy requirement is far less than that of the Americans (d)Access to energy and availability therefore are in proportion to financial status Correct Q3. (d) Access to energy and availability therefore are in proportion to financial status. Other options are not relevant. Incorrect Q3. (d) Access to energy and availability therefore are in proportion to financial status. Other options are not relevant.

• Question 5 of 5 5. Question Among those who call themselves socialists, two kinds of persons may be distinguished. There are, in the first place, those whose plan for a new order of society, in which private and individual competition are to be superseded and other motives to action substituted, are on the scale of a village community of township and would be applied to an entire country by the multiplication of such self acting units; of this character are the systems of Owen, of Fourier, and the more thoughtful and philosophic socialists generally.
