Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions based on it.
A well-established Bangladeshi industrialist in a recent article on way to strengthen the economy of Bangladesh 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 towards diversification and expansions. Modernization and asset creation has seriously lagged behind. 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 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. For this, there is a need for the creation of a larger and a more stable middle class, that is, a larger number of people who can afford more and more of goods and services. Even after forty two year 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) planning should not be for a period of less than five years.

42. According to the passage, growth and increasing productivity lead to-
(a) imposition of restriction on imports
(b) employment and thus provide an outlet to industrial and consumer products

Ans. b
43. The leading industrialist attributes industrial sickness mainly to
(a) lacunae in five-year plans
(b) preoccupations of managers with matters unrelated to business
(c) higher profits and larger dividends to shareholders
(d) lack of foresight among managers
Ans. d
44. According to the passage, the net gains pursued by managers are at the cost of-
(a) diversification, modernization and asset creation
(b) availability of markets for industrial and consumer products
(c) inflation and industrial sickness
