Theme Based Set
Directions (1-5): In each of the questions an inference is give in bold which is then followed by 3 paragraphs. You have to find the paragraph(s) from which it is inferred. Choose the option with the best possible outcome as your choice.
1) 26 People died every day from diabetes-related complications in 2017
I) The city is drastically falling short on the number of civic-run dispensaries, with merely one dispensary for 64,468 people. A report released by non-profit Praja Foundation has revealed that 76% people visited outpatient departments (OPD) of government hospitals, while merely 24% sought treatment at the dispensaries. The inadequate number of dispensaries and lack of facilities in them are major reasons for overcrowding in hospitals, say experts. “It is clear that the dispensaries are not a priority for the corporation,” said Milind Mhaske, director of Praja Foundation. He said, “The dispensaries need to be upgraded in terms of numbers, equipment, timing, staff and budget.”
II) According to the report, diabetes and tuberculosis were the major killers in 2017. While 26 people were killed every day due to diabetes-related complications in 2017, tuberculosis killed 15 people every day in the same year. The number of diabetes-related deaths jumped drastically to 9,525 in 2017 from 2,428 in 2014. Around 9% of the total deaths in the city were due to acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). Dr. Mangesh Pednekar, director of Healis-Sekhsaria Institute for Public Health, said 80,000 to 90,000 deaths are reported in Mumbai every year. The report stated around 15,464 cases were reported positive for dengue in 2018.
III) An average person in Mumbai spends 9.7% of his income on health complications annually, which is Rs. 98,214 per household. Thus, an estimated Rs. 27,795 crore is spent on health issues. However, despite the high expenditure, only 27% of people have health insurance and a majority of them from a private company. Jennifer Spencer, project coordinator at Praja Foundation, said, “After the Civil Registration System (CRS) has been started, we are not able to get area-wise data about deaths. The corporation is facing difficulty in tracking the cause of death due to lack of access to the CRS.”

2) Soon, aircraft will track your bathroom visits
I) It’s all part of an effort to make commercial cabins a digitally aware domain. The program is Airbus’s bid to raise the Internet of Things – the buzz-phrase for connected household gadgets –to cruising altitude. The Airbus Connected Experience aims to give flight attendants a more detailed survey of the cabin, with sensors for such critical data as when bathroom soap is running low and how much toilet paper remains in each bathroom. But the rethinking of the passenger environment doesn’t stop with the lavatory.
II)“It’s not a concept, it’s not a dream: It’s reality,” Ingo Wuggetzer, Airbus’s vice president of cabin marketing, said on Tuesday at an aviation trade show in Los Angeles. Airbus has begun flight testing the connected cabin on its A350 test aircraft and plans to introduce it on the A321 family in 2021, followed by the larger, two-aisle A350 series two years later.
III) As cool as all of this may seem to you, the passenger, it’s just another way for airlines to squeeze more profit out of operations. While data from these various areas will be sent to flight attendant tablets or smart phones in real time, the crunching of that data over time is where the real value lies. The connectivity Airbus envisions for its cabins will provide an enormous trove of information airlines can use to analyze and optimize in their never-ending quest for cost efficiencies.

I) Justice P.V. Asha made the observation while ordering the Principal of Sree Narayanaguru College, Kozhikode, to re-admit a student who had been expelled from the college hostel for using her mobile phone beyond the restricted hours.
II) The court observed, “When the Human Rights Council of the United Nations has found that the right of access to Internet is a fundamental freedom and a tool to ensure right to education, a rule or instruction which impairs the said right of the students cannot be permitted to stand in the eye of law.”
III)The Judge observed that the action of the college authorities infringed the fundamental freedom as well as privacy and would adversely affect the future and career of students who want to acquire knowledge and compete with their peers, such restriction could not be permitted to be enforced…..The court further said that college authorities as well as parents should be conscious of the fact that the students in a college hostel are adults capable of taking decisions as to how and when they have to study.
