Since power is itself a value, forms of influence which include power in their scope are usually themselves forms of power. The king's mistress, though she has only influence, not power, over the king, may have power over his subjects in the degree of that influence. Forms of influence based on power are themselves forms of power only if the scope of the influence is included within that of the power in question. The king may exercise influence over standards of morality, say, by virtue of his power position, but he does not necessarily exercise power over morality.
[1] Which combination of following statements best summarises the idea expressed in the paragraph?
1. Strength of an influence determines its power.
2. Influence always contributes power to the welder of influence beyond the scope of influence.
3. Proximity to authority is itself a source of power.
4. Forms of influence are power only if they can influence behaviour.
A. 1, 2
B. 1, 3
C. 1, 4
D. 1, 3, 4
E. 1, 2, 4[2] Which of the following is similar to ideas expressed in the paragraph?
A. A king can influence what dramas are enacted by artists.
B. A king can influence who acts in dramas in his kingdom.
C. A king can indicate the appropriateness of dramas enacted.
D. A king can influence the prices charged from drama groups by actors.
E. A king can influence on what drama audience spend their money.asked in XAT

The Yoga system is divided into two principal parts -- Hatha and Raja Yoga. Hatha Yoga deals principally with the physiological part of man with a view to establish his health and train his will. The processes prescribed to arrive at this end are so difficult that only a few resolute souls go through all the stages of its practice. Many have failed and some have died in the attempt. It is therefore strongly denounced by all the philosophers. The most illustrious Shankaracharya has remarked in his treatise called Aparokshanubhuti that “the system of Hatha Yoga was intended for those whose worldly desires are not pacified or uprooted.”
[1] Which one of the following, if true, most substantially strengthens the idea given in the
passage?
A. The percentage of people in a given ashram practicing Raja Yoga is more than the percentage of people practicing Hatha Yoga.
B. The number of people in a given ashram practicing Raja Yoga is more that the number of people practicing Hatha Yoga.
C. The number of Yoga schools teaching Raja Yoga is more than the number of Yoga schools teaching Hatha Yoga.
D. The number of teachers teaching Raja Yoga is more than the number of teachers teaching Hatha Yoga.
E. The percentage of students who have successfully learnt Raja Yoga is more than the percentage of students who have successfully learnt Hatha Yoga.[2] Which of the following option best reflects Shankaracharya‟s comments on Hatha Yoga?
A. Hatha Yoga is for those whose worldly desires are not placated.
B. Hatha Yoga has disastrous consequences for Yoga practitioners.
C. Practiced under the guidance of experts, Hatha Yoga is better than Raja Yoga for some people.
D. Raja Yoga gives better results and in a shorter time period for most people, and therefore it should be encouraged.
E. Hatha Yoga is ill-suited for people with strong worldly desires.asked in XAT

History, if viewed as a repository not merely of anecdotes or chronology, could produce a decisive transformation in the image of science by which we are now possessed. That image has previously been drawn, even by scientists themselves, mainly from the study of finished scientific achievements as these are recorded in the classics and, more recently, in the textbooks from which each new scientific generation learns to practice its trade.
[1] Which of the following best summarizes the above paragraph?
(A) Scientific achievements are recorded in classics and text books.
(B) History of science can be inferred from finished scientific achievement
(C) Different ways of looking at history can produce altogether different knowledge.
(D) Text books may be biased.
(E) All of above.[2] Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?
(A) History of science presents a scientific way of looking at scientific developments and thus contributes to progress in science.
(B) History of science should contain only the chronology of the scientific achievements.
(C) More number of scientific theories results in more number of publications, which benefits publishers.
(D) History of science should purposely present different images of science to people.
(E) History of science can present multiple interpretations to people regarding the process of scientific developments.asked in XAT

The Bistupur-Sakchi corner needs a speed-breaker. Loyola school children cross this intersection, on their way to the school, and many a times do not check out for traffic. I get to read regular reports of cars and other vehicles hitting children. I know that speed-breakers are irritating for drivers, and I know that children cannot be protected from every danger, but this is one of the worst intersections in town. There needs to be a speed-breaker so that vehicles have to slow down and the children be made safer.
[1] Which of the following arguments is used in the above passage?
(A) Analogy - comparing the intersection to something dangerous.
(B) Emotive - referring to the safety of children to get people interested.
(C) Statistical analysis - noting the number of children hit by vehicles.
(D) Personalization - telling the story of one child’s near accident at the intersection.
(E) Attack - pointing out people who are against speed-breakers as being uncaring about children.[2] According to a recent research conducted by the district road planning department, ten percent students come with parents in cars, twenty percent students use auto-rickshaws, twenty percent students use taxis, forty percent students use the school buses and ten percent students live in the hostel inside the school.
Which of the following is true about the above paragraph?
(A) It extends speaker’s argument using analogy.
(B) It extends the speaker’s argument using statistical data.
(C) It is similar to speaker’s argument.
(D) It concludes speaker’s argument by using personalization.
(E) It contradicts the speaker’s argument using statistical data.asked in XAT

Hindi ought to be the official language of India. There is no reason for the government to spend money printing documents in different languages, just to cater to people who cannot read/write Hindi. The government has better ways to spend tax payers’ money. People across India should read/write Hindi or learn it at the earliest.
[1] Which of the following, if true, would weaken the speaker’s argument the most?
(A) The government currently translates official documents into more than eighteen languages.
(B) Hindi is the most difficult language in the world to speak.
(C) Most people who travel across India learn Hindi within five years.
(D) Making Hindi the official language is a politically unpopular idea.
(E) People who are multilingual usually pay maximum taxes.[2] United Nations members contribute funds, proportionate to their population, for facilitating smooth functioning of the UN. By 2010, India, being the most populous nation on the planet, would contribute the maximum amount to the UN. Therefore, official language of United Nations should be changed to Hindi.
Which of the following is true?
(A) The point above contradicts the speaker’s argument.
(B) The point above extends the speaker’s argument.
(C) The point above is similar to speaker’s argument.
(D) The point above concludes speaker’s argument.
(E) The point above strengthens the speaker’s argument.asked in XAT
