PASSAGE
Tolstoys God Sees the Truth But Waits brings out the moral that it is God who alone sees the Truth. It also tells us that Forgiveness is the noblest virtue. Once, there lived a young merchant Aksenov in the town of Vladimar, One summer, Aksenov decided to go to the Nizhny fair to sell his goods. Though his wife requested him not to go he left for the fair. On his way, Aksenov met a merchant of Ryazan whom he knew well. They stayed in adjoining apartments at the same hotel for the night. The next-day, Aksenov set out before dawn.
Soon he was stopped on the way and arrested by the Police Commisioner. His luggage was searched and a blood-stained knife was found. Though Aksenov pleaded innocence he was improsoned on the charge of murder. His wife, too, suspected him. Aksenov thought that God only knows the truth and to Him alone we must pray for help.
Aksenov lived as a convict for twenty six years. His hair turned white and his beard grew longer. He led a respectable life in the prison. His fellow-prisoners called him Grandfather and The Saint. One day, a fresh batch of convicts came to the prison. Among them, there was a strong man named Makir. Later, Aksenov understood that this man had killed the merchant of Ryazan.
A fortnight passed. Makir had dug a tunnel to escape from the prison. Aksenov noticed it. Then, the Governor came for interrogation. But Aksenov did not reveal the truth. That night, Makir came to Aksenov and fell at the feet of Aksenov. He had repented of what he had done a long back. He confessed his crime of murdering the merchant. He, even, confessed his crime to the authorities. Aksenov was found innocent. When the orders for his release came the innocent old man was already dead. God sees the truth but has waited in Aksenovs case. Thus the title of the story God Sees The Truth But Waits is justified.

PASSAGE
Fungi form an isolated group within the plant kingdom and indeed are regarded by many as forming a separate kingdom of their own. They differ from all other plants by their lack of the green pigment chlorophyll, in the construction of thread-like units known as hyphae and their method of reproduction.
Reproduction occurs by spores either of sexual of asexual origin. The spore germinates, sending out a germ-tube that elongates to produce a thread-like, usually septate, filament that then branches out repeatedly. By continued ramification these threads or hyphae (singular hyphae) form a cobweb or felt-like sheet known as a mycelium. In most instances fusion between two hyphae, usually from different mycelia, must occur before a fruit body can be produced. Even then this process will only take place given the correct climatic factors and a sufficient food supply.
Fungi differ from the higher plant forms by the absence of the green pigment chlorophyll, which enables plants to photosynthesize, By this process green plants to obtain their carbohydrates; the chlorophyll in their leaves fixes atmosphere carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight and water to manufacture sugar for their nutrition. As fungi are unable to do this they have to obtain their carbohydrates from decomposed animal or plant tissues. Hence they are found in habitats rich in rotting vegetation such as woodland, grassland, compost heaps, sawdust piles, on dung or manure heaps and on burnt ground colonized by moss. Fungi obtaining their food materials directly from living plants or animals are the woody bracket fungi and mildews respectively; diseases of man such as athletes foot, ringworm and farmers lung are also caused by parasitic fungi.
51. What are Fungi?
(a) Fungi are plants (b) They are animals
(c) They are cells (d) Fungi are dead matter
All plants other than Fungi have chlorophyll Fungi have no chlorophyll
(b) They reproduce severally or asexually (d) They reproduce from seeds
52. Point out the correct statement?
(a)All plants have chlorophyll (b)
(c) Only Fungi have chlorophyll (d)
53. How do Fungi reproduce?
(a) They reproduce through
(c) Spores are the means for their reproduction
54. Which is correct?
(a) Fungi form cobwebs (b) Fungi are like spiders in their capacity to produce
(c) Spores produce hyphae which sometimes look like cobwebs
(d) A mycelium is nothing but cobwebs
55. Fungi grow on rotten negation or animals because
(a) They cannot produce their own food
(b) Their habitat provide them with the food they need
(c) Their habitat contains the chlorophyll which they need to produce carbohydrates
(d) They are parasites

PASSAGE
It is generally said that sport creates good-will among nations. Indeed, sport is an activity meant for the fun and exercise. It should be played according to rules. It should be played in a friendly and fair atmosphere. It should inculcate the sportsman spirit and mutual good-will. In the middle ages games were played with much physical brutaily. But they were not mixed up with politics. Today, politics and games are badly mixed up. Each team is identified with a country or a large power unit. Running, jumping and kicking a ball are taken as tests of national virtue.
The game cricket which demands grace rather than strength is also causing much ill-will. The visit of the Australian team in 1921 is a good example. The game, football in which everyone gets hurt is far worse. The football matches played at Arsenal and Glasgow are good examples. Worst of all is boxing. The rise of nationalistic feelings and strong passions of rivalry are both recent developments. As soon as strong feelings of rivalry are aroused, the notion of playing the game according to the rules, vanishes. People want to see one side on top and the other side humiliated.
The fact is-the spectators and the nations are working themselves into furies over these absurd contests. So sport has become a war-fare and the sportsmen have turned to be warriors. The modern sport adds something to the vast fund of ill-will existing in the world at this moment.
56. Who are modern sportsmen compared to in the passage?
(a) Cricketers (b) footballers (c) warriors (d) boxers
57. What do the spectators now like to witness in sports?
(b) ill-will
(d) humiliating one side
(b) politics in sports (d) spectators role in sports sporting spirit?
(b) Use of politics in sports (d) none of the above
(b) there was physical brutality
(d) spectators were working into furies
(a) Fight between Arsenal and Glasgow
(c) politics
58. What is the above passage talking about?
(a) sporting spirit
(c) sports to be played like a war
59. Which of the following is not influencing factor for change in (a) increasing rivalry among the nations
(c) spectators willingness to see fair game
60. How was a middle age game different from modern games?
(a) middle age game was played with lot of enthusiasm
(c) full of politics existed in middle age

ANSWERS FOR UNDER GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN DESIGN PAPER-I GENERAL ABILITY TEST SAMPLE PAPER-I
1. [b] Let B = x, then C = 2x & A = 2/3 x. Therefore A: B: C = (2/3) x: x: 2x = (2/3): 1: 2 = 2: 3: 6
2. [b] Required number = 1 X 2 X 3 X 4 = 24
3. [d] Alcohol content = (20/100) X 20 = 4 liters and therefore water is 16 liters. In the new mixture, alcohol
content=4 liters and water is16+5=21liters.Hence percentage of alcohol in new mix=(4/25)X100= 16%.
4. [d] (5a+3b)/ (5a-3b)=[(5a/b) +3]/ [(5a/b) -3]=[5 X (2/5) +3]/ [5 X (2/5) -3]=5/ (-1)= -5
5. [c] Money collected = 5929. Therefore, The number of members = V5929 = 77
6. [d] Ram + Lakhan + Pavan = 67 X 3 = 201, Ram + Lakhan = 62 X 2 = 124,
Lakhan + Pavan = 68 X 2 = 136, Hence, Lakhan = 124 + 136 - 201 = 260 - 201 = 59 kg.
7. [c] The sum of remaining two = (8 X 18 - 6 X 15) = 54. The average of these two numbers = 54 / 2 = 27
8. [a] For x length of fabric, (30 / 100) x = 126. Or x = (126 X 100) / 30 = 420
9. [b] Let, sons age = x, then Mr. Chopras age= 4x. 5 years ago, 9 (x-5) = 4x-5 or x = 8.
Therefore, Mr. Chopras present age = 4x = 32
10. [a] Required % = [{33 / (100 + 33)} X 100] = 24.8%
11. [b] New price = 110% of 80% of 9600 = (110 X 80 X 9600) / (100 X 100) = 8448.
12. [b] Reduction in consumption = [{20 / (100 + 20)} X 100]% = 16.67%
13. [b] 40% of x = 178 + 22 (since he failed by 22 marks to get 40%) or (40/100) x = 200 or x = 500.
14. [c] For a distance of x, difference in timings = 20 min = 1/3 hour.
Hence, x/3 - x/4 = 1/3 or 4x - 3x = 4 or x = 4 km
15. [b] For original price of 100, new price = 80. So, increase on 80 is 20.
Hence, increase on 100 should be = (20 / 80) X 100 = 25%
