Prin LN Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research, Bangalore
Question : Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. It is now forty years and something more since I surveyed the scene in the economically advanced countries, especially the United States, and wrote The Affluent Society. The book had a satisfying reception, and I'm here asked as to its latter-day relevance. That should not be asked of any author, but the mistake having been made, I happily respond. The central argument in the book was that in the economically advanced countries, and especially in the United States, there has been a highly uneven rate of social development. Privately produced goods and services for use and consumption are abundantly available. So available are they, indeed, that large and talented expenditure on advertising and salesmanship is needed to persuade people to want what is produced. Consumer sovereignty, once governed by the need for food and shelter, is now the highly contrived consumption of an infinite variety of goods and services. That, however, is in what has come to be called the private sector. There is no such abundance in the services available from the state. Social services, health care, especially education, public housing for the needful, and even food, along with action to protect life and the environment, are all in short supply. Damage to the environment is the most visible result of this abundant production of goods and services. In a passage that was much quoted, I told of the family that took its modern, highly styled, tail-finned automobile out for a holiday. They went through streets and countryside made hideous by commercial activity and commercial art. They spent their night in a public park replete with refuse and disorder and dined on delicately packaged food from an expensive portable refrigerator.
All this, were I writing now, I would still emphasize. I would especially stress the continuing unhappy position of the poor. This, if anything, is more evident than it was forty years ago. Then in the United States, it was the problem of southern plantation agriculture and the hills and hollows of the rural Appalachian Plateau. Now it is a highly visible problem in the great metropolis.
There is another contrast. Were I writing now, I would give emphasis to the depressing difference in well-being between the affluent world and the less fortunate countries mainly in the post-colonial world. The rich countries have their rich and poor. The world has its rich and poor nations. There has been a developing concern with these problems; alas, the progress has not kept pace with the rhetoric.
Question:
What would the author have emphasized on if he wrote his books in the present times?
Option 1: He would have emphasized the disparity in well-being between the developed and underdeveloped countries.
Option 2: He would have emphasized the economical well-being in the developed nations of the world.
Option 3: He would have emphasized the social well-being in developing countries of the world after their post-colonial period.
Option 4: He would have emphasized the economic disparity between the developed and the underdeveloped countries.
Correct Answer: He would have emphasized the disparity in well-being between the developed and underdeveloped countries.
Solution : The correct answer is 'He would have emphasized the disparity in well-being between the developed and under-developed countries.'
Explanation: - Referring to the second line of the fourth sentence: - 'Were I writing now, I would give emphasis to the depressing difference in wellbeing as between the affluent world and the less fortunate countries mainly in the post-colonial world.' - Developed nations are referred to as being in the "affluent globe," whereas underdeveloped nations are those that are less fortunate.
As a result, choice 1 is the right response.
Hi Presh T Parab!
Expected cutoff for open category 80% percentile in CAT, CAT and CMAT needed. For Welingkar MMS program - cutoff of 99.2% needed in MH CET. Cut-off will depend on the stream you apply for Welingkar does profile based selection. Sometimes students with 80 Percentile are selected and with 98 are not. (I happen to know both of them). Apply to PGDM courses if you have above 80 Percentile and give your best shot at the interview.
I hope this information is useful for you!
All the best!

To be very honest to you none of the college will help you a great deal in your career. You have a work experience of 3 years and its better you start preparing for GMAT and CAT simultaneously. Try for the top notch colleges next year.
