Question 31.
Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
There is more bad news on food front. It now appears certain that there will bea shortfall of about 9 million tonnes
in the food production in the current kharif season, which in turn means five million tonnes less than the production
achieved in the last kharif season. However, rice procurement may only be partially affected since West Bengal
and Andhra Pradesh have had sufficient rainfall while Punjab, the mtyor contributor to the central pool is less
dependent on rainfall. Still, the overall availability of rice may go down by more than four million tonnes. There may
be worst news ahead.
- Rice is mainly produced in kharif season.
Answer: Option A. -> Definitely true
The fact is clearly evident from the given passage.
Question 32.
Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
Indian granite industry is in peril in the absence of a uniform policy from the State Governments, despite the
thrust given by liberalisation policies of the Union Government in the last two years. Compared to the remark-
-able progress in the field during the last three years, the absence of matching policies by State Governments
had put granite quarry owners and others involved in the industry on the verge of collapse in the international
market. The policies differed from state to state, had created problems as far as loyalty, dead rent and duration
of lease were concerned.
- Till three years ago. granite production in India was not profitable,
Answer: Option A. -> Data inadequate
Nothing about profitability of granite industry three years ago is mentioned in the passage.
Question 33.
Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
There is more bad news on food front. It now appears certain that there will bea shortfall of about 9 million tonnes
in the food production in the current kharif season, which in turn means five million tonnes less than the production

ernments has put 'granite quarry owners' on the verge of collapse. This implies the
given fact.
Question 39.
Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
Wind is an inexhaustible source of energy and aerogenerator can convert it into electricity. Through not much has
so far been done in this field, the survey shows that there is a vast potential for developing wind as an alternative
source of energy. The wind survey has four components -- direction, duration, speed and distribution.
On this basis U P. hill areas have been found an ideal place for setting up aerogenerators. In U.P. hills alone, as
many as 58 sites have been identified.
- 58 sites identified in U.P. did not have electricity.
Answer: Option C. -> Data inadequate
In the passage, it is not mentioned whether the 58 sites identified in U.P. had the
