Directions for questions 38 to 40: the passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.
Not only mathematics is dependent on us and our thoughts, but in another sense, we and the whole universe of existing things are dependent on mathematics. The apprehension of this purely ideal character is indispensable if we are to understand rightly the place of mathematics as one among the arts. It was formerly supposed that pure reason could decide in some respects as to the nature of the actual world geometry, at least was thought to deal with the space in which we live. But we now know that pure mathematics can never pronounce upon the questions of actual existence. The world of reason in a sense control the world of facts, but it is not at any point creative of fact, and in the application of its results to the world space and time, its certainty and precision are lost among approximations and working hypothesis. The objects considered by mathematicians have in past been mainly of a kind suggested by phenomenon but from such restrictions the abstract imagination should be wholly free. A reciprocal liberty must be accorded; reason cannot be dictated to the world of facts, but fact cannot restrict reasons privilege of dealing with whatever objects its love of beauty may cause to seem worthy of consideration. Here as elsewhere we build up our ideals out of the fragments to be found in the world; and in the end its hard to say whether the result is a creation or discovery.
38) With which of the following is the author agree?
I. Mankind relies on mathematics for its very existence.
- Geometry was believed to deal with space in which we live.
- The world of reason has no control over the world of fact.

b) I and II
c) Only III
d) I and II
39) When the results of pure mathematics are applied to the universe of existing things,
a) Its findings no longer have completely certainty and preciseness.
b) Mathematics ceases to be a science
c) The abstract imagination of the mathematicians is free of restrictions.
d) The nature of the actual world stands revealed.
40) According to Russell, ”a reciprocal liberty” must be obtained between
a) Mathematics and Applied science
b) Reason and facts
c) Mathematical objects and objects created by abstract imagination.
d) The study of pure mathematics and an application of its results.
Directions for questions 41 to 44: the passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.
Psychologists interpret narcissism as a compensation mechanism. Many business narcissists believe they have been wronged in the past and that they are ‘owed’. Their feeling of insecurity can be satisfied only by regular adulation, affirmation and recognition. One of the most frequently observed characteristics of the narcissist is capriciousness-inconsistent and unpredictable behavior. Naturally most scientists believe that its origin lies in early childhood. They blame the inconsistent parent who was attentive to all outward, public signs of achievement and success but blind to disapproving feelings. This inconsistency often leads to young adults being confused and never developing a clear sense of who they are or establishing a coherent value system. They are not comfortable in their own skin. This can and does result in a lifelong quest for full self-regard and self-assertion. The wells of the origin of the problem are both deep and murky, and the passions they endanger seem remorseless. Personal and work relationship for narcissists is particularly interesting. Naturally narcissists search them out because they are rare, probably equally dysfunctional people, labeled, complementary narcissists- they could also be called complementary narcissists.

a) Narcissists seek continual admiration and devotion from their partners.
b) Good parents guide the growth and development of narcissistic behavior in their children.

d) A narcissistic person considers other people as mere accessories or tools which can aid in achieving success.
42) The most appropriate title for the passage might be
a) ‘effects of narcissism’
b) ‘understanding of narcissism’
c) ‘the narcissists and the society’
d) ‘narcissistic behavior at workplace’

a) Thrives on the adulation provided by society.
b) Behaves with consistent predictability.
c) Seeks out the rarest of qualities in people
d) Is a result of inconsistent parenting.

a) A parent who doesn’t care about the behavior of his child at social gathering.
b) A parent does not care about his child’s feelings.
c) A parent who does not care about the feelings of his child but only worries about his social success.
d) A parent who is not interested in the overall development of his child but is interested in his social success.
