  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Which of the following factors causes income inequality?
    Solution
    Factors contributing to income inequality are closely linked to economic, social and political reasons. People are paid different wages for different jobs which creates an income gap. Individuals with different levels of education, often earn different wages, whose social condition while growing up may vary. Whereas, an unstable political climate creates a disproportionate political influence leading to income inequality. Hence, option D is correct.     
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Legal scholars argue that when "justice" is interpreted too broadly, the concept becomes , easily changed and controlled by outside forces.
    Solution
    "Malleable" signifies able for being changed or controlled. 
    "Malleable" legitimately portrays a "justice" that can be modified by outside forces.
     An "influential" idea is one that changes outside powers, not one that is changed by outside powers. 
    "Coherent" signifies clear. It looks bad to infer that an idea can be effectively changed or controlled on the grounds that it is clear.
     "Felicitous" signifies appropriate or especially proper to a circumstance. In the event that something is appropriate, it looks incorrect to depict it as effectively changed or controlled. 
    "Prosaic" signifies usual or ordinary. A common idea may be an idea that is effectively changed or controlled, however, it isn't really so.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Affirmative action cannotes
    I. Measures taken by the state to help the socially disadvantaged groups
    II. Positive discrimination
    III. Strict quota for the socially and educationally backward class in school/college admissions and jobs.
    Which of the above mentioned is true ? 
    Solution
    The Indian constitution has established a welfare state meaning the state is placed in the position of guardian to the people. Thus the state has some obligations to fulfill to maintain the standard and quality lives of its citizens. The state is empowered to take positive actions to uplift the socially disadvantaged groups by enacting positive discrimination that ensures equality and at the same time does not dent the right to others. The reservation system for socially and educationally backward classes in schools and college admissions and to secure entry in jobs has the same rationale that is to provide adequate and equal representation of backward classes that have no means to secure themselves such position.
