4. If the positions of the first and the second digit within each number are interchanged, which of the following will be the second highest number ?
(1) 632
(2) 783
(3) 576
(4) 895
(5) 394
Ans : (5)

Certain words are given in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.Politicians and generals talk of military strategies and manoeuvers but something completely different is needed. Stability will come only when economic opportunities exist, when youth can find jobs and support families rather than seeking their livelihood in violence. Peace can only be achieved with a withdrawal of foreign troops, sanctions and peace-keepers and the arrival of jobs, productive farms and factories, healthcare and schools. Repeatedly the fragile peace in impoverished countries has broken down because of the lack of economic follow-up. Despite promises of aid, the actual record of international aid to post war reconstruction is deficient.
Once the war ends agencies involved in post war relief efforts fail to understand how to start or restart economic development in a low income setting. They squander time, surplus aid funds and opportunities because they are not familiar with local conditions and do not under-stand their point of view. There are distinct phases of outside help to end a conflict. In the first phase focus is on providing food, water, shelter and medicine to refugees i.e., humani-tarian. In the second, emphasis is on the refugees returning home while in the last phase long term investments and strengthening of courts is the main focus.
However once a conflict is over aid agencies sanctioned by the World Bank send study groups instead of requisite personnel. There is a gap of several years before moving from humanitarian relief to economic development. By the time such help arrives the war has restarted. It is possible to restart economic develop-ment through targeted ‘quick impact’ initiatives. Most economies in post conflict countries are based on agri-culture. Providing free packages of seeds, fertilizers and low cost equip-ment quickly will ensure that former soldiers will return to their farms and establish their livelihood. But the window of opportunity closes quickly and one has to implement these measures almost immediately.
1. Which of the following is a reason, post conflict reconstruc-tion efforts have failed ?(A) Aid organizations do not understand issues from the pers-pective of the poor(B) Rapid economic develop-ment in low income countries-Answer(C) World Bank studies are not valid(D) International aid organiza-tions become too involved in reconstruction efforts(E) None of these

4. Which of the following is not true in the context of the pas-sage ?(A) Focus in the first phase of a war is on providing humani-tarian aid(B) Sanctions are not a means to ensure peace(C) Adequate time must be taken to plan and implement quick impact strategies(D) Providing employment to the younger generation will prevent wars(E) Focus on delivering justice through courts should be in the last phase of conflict aid-Answer
