Directions for Questions 21-26:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow based on the information provided in the passage.
A leading Indian industrialist in a recent article on ways to strengthen India’s economy has drawn attention to the problems of inflation and industrial sickness among other things. One of the main reasons for industrial sickness in our country has been the fact that business and industrial managers have not been able to look beyond the immediate future. They have been too preoccupied with their attempts to report favorable results for the current year higher profits and larger dividends to the shareholders. The planning horizon has hardly ever exceeded five years. Investments have been inadequate for new plants and towards diversification and expansions.
Modernization and asset creation have seriously lagged. In business, growth is needed for survival; one has to grow if one does not want to be wiped out This is particularly true today with the liberalization of imports and increasing competition. Moreover, growth and higher productivity create employment and higher employment creates larger markets both for industrial and consumer products. It was Henry Ford who brought home the need for the creation of larger and a more stable middle class, that is, a larger number of people who can afford more and more goods and services. Even after forty years of independence, our industrialists have not been able to shed the petty shopkeeper’s mentality and our highly educated management has tagged along merrily and without concern.

A) lacunae in five-year plans

A) imposition of restrictions on imports
B) employment and thus provide an outlet for industrial and consumer products
C) encouragement to export excess consumer goods
D) disproportionate surplus of commodities
E) None of the above
ANS: B
Q24. Why did Henry Ford stress the need for a more stable middle class?
A) They are mostly service oriented
B) They do not have a shopkeeper mentality
C) They can afford to buy more and more expensive goods
