Directions: In this section, each item consists of six sentences. The first and sixth sentences are marked as S1 and S6. The four sentences between S1 and S6 have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R and S. This is followed by four options, each suggesting a sequence of sentences. Identify the most appropriate option and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly. S1: The New Development Bank (NDB) has been instituted with a vision to support and foster infrastructure and sustainable initiatives in emerging economies. S6: India is one of the largest borrowers from the Bank in the sectors of transport, health, water and financial sectors. P: The purpose of the Bank is to mobilise resources for infra-structure and sustainable projects in BRICS and other emerging economies. Q: Each member country has a shareholding of 20 per cent. R: The founding members of the NDB-Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa-brought in capital USD 1 billion as initial contribution. S: India and other four founding members have equal share-holding in the Bank. The correct sequence should be
SPRQ
Understanding the NDB Introduction (S1)
The first sentence, S1, introduces the New Development Bank (NDB). It establishes the bank's fundamental purpose: to support and foster infrastructure and sustainable initiatives primarily within emerging economies. This sentence sets the broad context for the paragraph.
Analyzing the Correct Sentence Order: SPRQ
The core task is to arrange the jumbled sentences P, Q, R, and S into a logical sequence that connects S1 and S6. The options provided suggest different arrangements, and the correct sequence is identified as SPRQ. Let's examine the flow:
S: Focus on Founding Members and Shareholding
Sentence S states, "India and other four founding members have equal share-holding in the Bank." This sentence acts as a logical follow-up to S1. While S1 provides the bank's vision, S narrows the focus to the initial ownership structure, specifically mentioning India and the concept of equal share-holding among the founding members. This bridges the general introduction to more specific details.
P: Defining the Bank's Purpose
Next in the sequence is sentence P: "The purpose of the Bank is to mobilise resources for infra-structure and sustainable projects in BRICS and other emerging economies." This sentence directly elaborates on the vision mentioned in S1. It explains *how* the NDB aims to support initiatives – by mobilizing resources. Mentioning BRICS connects the purpose to the specific group of founding members.
R: Founding Details and Initial Capital
Sentence R follows P: "The founding members of the NDB-Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa-brought in capital USD 1 billion as initial contribution." This provides essential factual information about the bank's establishment. It names the founding members (confirming the members hinted at in S) and specifies their initial capital contribution. This grounding information fits naturally after outlining the purpose.
Q: Clarifying Shareholding Percentage
The sequence concludes the structural description with sentence Q: "Each member country has a shareholding of 20 per cent." This sentence quantifies the shareholding mentioned earlier. It aligns perfectly with sentence S (equal shareholding) and R (five founding members), implying that each of the founding members initially held a 20% stake. This provides a precise detail about the ownership structure.
Connecting the Full Sequence (S1 to S6)
The sequence SPRQ allows for a coherent narrative flow:
- S1 establishes the NDB's mission for emerging economies.
- S highlights India's equal stake among the founders.
- P defines the bank's purpose: mobilizing resources for projects.
- R details the founding members (BRICS) and initial capital.
- Q specifies the equal shareholding percentage (20%).
Finally, sentence S6, "India is one of the largest borrowers from the Bank in the sectors of transport, health, water and financial sectors," concludes the passage. It provides a practical example of the NDB's activity, linking back to the earlier focus on India's role as a founder and stakeholder.
Summary of the SPRQ Order
The arrangement SPRQ logically connects the NDB's introduction (S1) to its operational context (S6) by first presenting details about its ownership (S), then its purpose (P), followed by its foundational capital and members (R), and finally clarifying the shareholding structure (Q). This creates a well-structured explanation of the New Development Bank.
