I worked as health secretary for about five years from the middle of 1962 to the middle of 1967. Thereafter I worked as finance secretary until the end of 1969. Indiscipline was rampant in the health department. Intense lobbying to secure plum postings was the order of the day. Ministers, legislators, senior officers and other influential people openly pleaded the cause of their protgs. The Health Minister was an honest, well-meaning politician. He approved my proposals to bring about some system and objectivity in postings and transfers and put an end to lobbying. But those efforts met with only limited success. Doctors succeeded in getting desired postings by resorting to bribery. On the eve of the elections, the then minister sent down over 100 transfer orders from his camp office. They were in conflict with the guidelines and quite a few were confusing in as much as two doctors were posted to the same place, or one person was posted to more than one post. I did not carry out the orders. I submitted a note to Chief Minister through the Chief Secretary pointing out why the orders should not be implemented. The chief Secretary supported me. The Chief Minister decided that the ministers orders should not be implemented. All the doctors who had paid money were disappointed. In several other departments also corruption became widespread. In the works departments corruption had existed since a long time in the matter of awarding contracts. Now bribes were freely offered to secure transfer to particular posts, and even for getting promotions. As Finance Secretary I found that the finances of the state were in a precarious condition. Financial discipline had evaporated. Long before the advent of the wireless and the telephone, the British had included in the Treasury code a rule (Rule 27) empowering collectors to draw money from the treasury to meet emergencies like floods, earthquakes, devastating fires, etc. To my dismay I found that collectors were freely drawing money for
25

all manner of trivial purpose sunder Rule 27 of the Treasury Code. In one case a collector had drawn money under the rule to buy a staff car for the SDO of another district. All

In the subsequent figures respectively one and two designs(s) is/are inverted in the middle. 37. d) From first figure to second figure the small designs move one step in anticlockwise direction and they are enclosed by such designs if the smaller designs move in clockwise direction. Similar changes would occur from problem figure e) to Answer Figure. 38.e) Problem figure e) is the water image of the problem figure a). Therefore, Answer figure would be the water image of the problem figure b). 39. c) The top design descends stepwise after being rotated through 90 0 anticlockwise and inverted laterally and ascends in one step. After every two figures the arrow moves one step in anticlockwise direction and in each step it is rotated through 180 0 and then inverted laterally. Now we can eliminate Answer Figures a), b) and d) the third design moves to left or right after every two figures and it changes a set order. 40. d) The outer design of problem figure a)become the inner design in problem figure d) and the outer design of problem figure b) becomes the inner design in Answer Figure. There-fore, we can eliminate the Answer Figure. Therefore, we can eliminate the Answer Figures b) and c). The same pattern in followed in the case of outer design but it gets inverted. 41. d) In the subsequent figures respectively two and three line segments change their positions in a set order. 42.b) In the subsequent figures the plane of designs rotate through 45 0 anticlockwise direction and the designs interchange positions in a set order.

From Problem Figure b) to c) both the curves and an arrow head are inverted. From Problem Figure c) to d) both the arrow heads are inverted. From Problem figure d) to e) both the curves and an arrow head are inverted. Therefore, from Problem Figure e) to Answer Figure one curve and an arrow head would be inverted. 47. e) In the subsequent figures the plane of designs rotates through 45 0 anticlockwise. From Problem Figure a) to b) the first two designs interchange positions, the third design moves to the fourth position and the fifth design moves to the third position. The fourth design moves to the fifth position and it is replaced with a new design. From Problem Figure b) to c) the first design moves to the second position and the third design moves to the first position. The second design moves to the third position and it is replaced with a new design. The fourth and the fifth designs interchange positions. These two steps are repeated alternately. 48. e) From Problem Figure a) to b) both the designs move one step in anticlockwise direction and the first design is replaced with a new design. From Problem Figure b) to c) both the designs move one step in anticlockwise direction and interchange positions and one of the designs is replaced with a new design.
