What personal attributes does power yoga draw upon? (Passage 1)

Answer the question based on the following passages.

Passage 1

            The west has a new initiative for the fitness freaks - Power
            Yoga remodeled from the Ashtanga Yoga. Power Yoga
            does not restrict the set of postures. They vary from session
            to session. But Power Yoga stresses upon muscle strength
(5)        and stretching. Power yoga has been the precursor of
            yoga’s existent prominence. People consider it to be a
            relaxing work out. The U.S. gyms got their first intro to yoga
            through power yoga.
            Power Yoga does not bewitch the physically unfit or obese
(10)      alone; it has an enticing effect on health freaks who enjoy
            exercising just for the heck of it. Power yoga is a modified
            western version of Indian Ashtanga yoga which is based on
            self-control, discipline and self denial of luxuries. It not only
            inculcates a regular physical work–out, it also upgrades
(15)      mental ability and concentration, though, to start with, it may
            cause a little uneasiness in muscles.
            A reputed Sanskrit scholar Shri K.Pattabhi Jois enlightened
            the western masses about yoga as a style of workout. He
            also introduced the yogic philosophies to them. Power yoga
(20)      is an abridged form of Ashtanga yoga. In Power Yoga the
            yogi needs only to perform the basic postures like Bikram
            yoga, which is an energy booster. It can easily be performed
            by newcomers in the field also. It enhances the body
            language, improves stamina and even flexibility level if one
(25)       can hold the postures longer. Power yoga involves yogic
            postures with synchronized breathing styles. Every action
            involves abundant elegance and dignity of postures. The
            fixation of concentration helps one to focus.
            An irregular Power Yoga may have free flowing dance like
(30)      movements. While a regular power yogi is able to contour
            his every limb impeccably and elegantly with profound
            peace and concentration in his eyes, the perfection in
            power yoga is a slow and tedious process. A few postures
            cannot be held by the uninitiated even for five breaths.
(35)      The session begins with a warm up, stretching muscles as
            a follow up. Its unusual aspect is that it is done in a heated
            room to achieve maximum muscle flexibility. The
            newcomers can feel the stretch hard for a few days. So,
            a few body-conditioning sessions are given before
(40)      initiation.

Passage 2

            Yoga has taken the limelight and many people have learnt
            the advantages of indulgence in it. In India since primeval
            times yoga has yielded health to yogis. People have
            inculcated regular yoga regime in their lives. It has since
(5)        enriched the lives of people on other lands also. Being an
            eastern concept, it took time before enveloping the western
            people in its stride.
            It helps cope with common ailments like bronchitis,
            constipation, stress and mental imbalance; even fatal
(10)      diseases like cancer can be cured. It revitalizes the lost
            immunity. The splendid news is that yoga today needs no
            long hours training. It only needs a consistent routine of
            forty five minutes daily. These forty five minutes if spent
            regularly can work wonders with your health. Yoga can
(15)      have a profound effect on our life style. In this chaotic
            materialistic world where tension surrounds everyone
            everywhere, a session of yoga can be a stress buster. It
            enhances concentration and helps those out of shape or
            obese. It briskly burns the calorie count and sheds the extra
(20)      flab from the body. No doubt it has gained ever- increasing
            popularity.
            Though yoga is said to have existed since commencement
            of the civilization, no potent proof supports this claim. The
            ancient seals show yogic postures taking yoga’s infancy to
(25)      around 3000 B.C. It has commendable mention in Upanishads,
            Vedas and the Gita. The Gita propagates Bhakti Yoga,
            Jnana Yoga and Karma Yoga. So we can attribute yoga to
            be the oldest practice of self enhancement. The classic
            version includes postures, meditation and breathing controls.
(30)      Meditation has been a unified part of yogic philosophy.
            Through it a mortal can have spiritual awakening. It relaxes
            us and awakens our consciousness. This simplistic technique
            has allured many in this fast paced world to rejuvenate their
           lives.

Which of the following has not been mentioned in the two passages?

Answer the question based on the following passages.

Passage – 1

            The ongoing conflict between two mega cola companies
            is known to all. All carbonated beverages generally lie under
            the flagship of two champs in this field, Coca Cola Company
            and PepsiCo. The brand conflict has furthered to a great
(5)        extent. The lust to dominate does not extend to supermarkets
            alone. The turmoil extends from control over restaurants
            supply of colas to supplies to big countries. The rivalry is for
            global control.
            This long battle to sweep the global market has lasted for
(10)      decades. It seems as legendary as the conflict of good and
            evil. But the choice depends on consumers’ taste buds.
            The consumer taste criteria adjudge what is ‘good’ and what
            is the ‘evil’.
            Both Coca cola and PepsiCo leave no stone unturned. They
(15)      go to the extent of deterring the rival company on URLs
            and through commercials. Despite all the convulsive
            episodes, and both companies claiming the ball to be in
            their court, the consumer i.e. the jury is still undecided who
            rules the market.

Passage – 2

            The steaming competition is forcing the companies to launch
            new products. The companies are daily remodeling their
            marketing strategy. Through commercials, promotional
            campaigns and consumer benefit schemes they want to
(5)        take the market with a stride but the judgment of the winner
            lies with the rising sales, profits and consumer loyalty. They
            are trying to increase the market share in other beverage
            categories.
            The war to lead the market goes on. Though Pepsi has often
(10)      shown the strategy of developing new products, Coke
            followed the steps and instructed the newly appointed
            marketing executives to pursue the same technique. Pepsi
            had innovative advertising ideas which Coca Cola lacked to
            an extent but both have tried to find and capture any new
(15)      market (foreign) that they could.
            The Coca Cola advertising heads have now tried to capture
            youth’s fancy by using celebrities. While Coca Cola is trying
            to bank on nostalgia with its new ‘Vanilla Coke. (John Travolta
            in pulp fiction at 50’s themed diner), Pepsi is taking over the
(20)      young chasers with Blue Pepsi. Whereas Coke is a leader in
            sodas, Pepsi banks on its snack business. If Pepsi allures the
            new genre, Coke also has a way to go with new consumers in
           its kitty.

            constipation, stress and mental imbalance; even fatal
(10)      diseases like cancer can be cured. It revitalizes the lost
            immunity. The splendid news is that yoga today needs no
            long hours training. It only needs a consistent routine of
            forty five minutes daily. These forty five minutes if spent
            regularly can work wonders with your health. Yoga can
(15)      have a profound effect on our life style. In this chaotic
            materialistic world where tension surrounds everyone
            everywhere, a session of yoga can be a stress buster. It
            enhances concentration and helps those out of shape or
            obese. It briskly burns the calorie count and sheds the extra
(20)      flab from the body. No doubt it has gained ever- increasing
            popularity.
            Though yoga is said to have existed since commencement
            of the civilization, no potent proof supports this claim. The
            ancient seals show yogic postures taking yoga’s infancy to
(25)      around 3000 B.C. It has commendable mention in Upanishads,
            Vedas and the Gita. The Gita propagates Bhakti Yoga,
            Jnana Yoga and Karma Yoga. So we can attribute yoga to
            be the oldest practice of self enhancement. The classic
            version includes postures, meditation and breathing controls.
(30)      Meditation has been a unified part of yogic philosophy.
            Through it a mortal can have spiritual awakening. It relaxes
            us and awakens our consciousness. This simplistic technique
            has allured many in this fast paced world to rejuvenate their
           lives.

What is the characteristic act of a regular yogi? (Passage1)

Answer the question based on the following passages.

Passage 1

            The west has a new initiative for the fitness freaks - Power
            Yoga remodeled from the Ashtanga Yoga. Power Yoga
            does not restrict the set of postures. They vary from session
            to session. But Power Yoga stresses upon muscle strength
(5)        and stretching. Power yoga has been the precursor of
            yoga’s existent prominence. People consider it to be a
            relaxing work out. The U.S. gyms got their first intro to yoga
            through power yoga.
            Power Yoga does not bewitch the physically unfit or obese
(10)      alone; it has an enticing effect on health freaks who enjoy
            exercising just for the heck of it. Power yoga is a modified
            western version of Indian Ashtanga yoga which is based on
            self-control, discipline and self denial of luxuries. It not only
            inculcates a regular physical work–out, it also upgrades
(15)      mental ability and concentration, though, to start with, it may
            cause a little uneasiness in muscles.
            A reputed Sanskrit scholar Shri K.Pattabhi Jois enlightened
            the western masses about yoga as a style of workout. He
            also introduced the yogic philosophies to them. Power yoga
(20)      is an abridged form of Ashtanga yoga. In Power Yoga the
            yogi needs only to perform the basic postures like Bikram
            yoga, which is an energy booster. It can easily be performed
            by newcomers in the field also. It enhances the body
            language, improves stamina and even flexibility level if one
(25)       can hold the postures longer. Power yoga involves yogic
            postures with synchronized breathing styles. Every action
            involves abundant elegance and dignity of postures. The
            fixation of concentration helps one to focus.
            An irregular Power Yoga may have free flowing dance like
(30)      movements. While a regular power yogi is able to contour
            his every limb impeccably and elegantly with profound
            peace and concentration in his eyes, the perfection in
            power yoga is a slow and tedious process. A few postures
            cannot be held by the uninitiated even for five breaths.
(35)      The session begins with a warm up, stretching muscles as
            a follow up. Its unusual aspect is that it is done in a heated
            room to achieve maximum muscle flexibility. The
            newcomers can feel the stretch hard for a few days. So,
            a few body-conditioning sessions are given before
(40)      initiation.

Passage 2

            Yoga has taken the limelight and many people have learnt
            the advantages of indulgence in it. In India since primeval
            times yoga has yielded health to yogis. People have
            inculcated regular yoga regime in their lives. It has since
(5)        enriched the lives of people on other lands also. Being an
            eastern concept, it took time before enveloping the western
            people in its stride.
            It helps cope with common ailments like bronchitis,
            constipation, stress and mental imbalance; even fatal
(10)      diseases like cancer can be cured. It revitalizes the lost
            immunity. The splendid news is that yoga today needs no
            long hours training. It only needs a consistent routine of
            forty five minutes daily. These forty five minutes if spent
            regularly can work wonders with your health. Yoga can
(15)      have a profound effect on our life style. In this chaotic
            materialistic world where tension surrounds everyone
            everywhere, a session of yoga can be a stress buster. It
            enhances concentration and helps those out of shape or
            obese. It briskly burns the calorie count and sheds the extra
(20)      flab from the body. No doubt it has gained ever- increasing
            popularity.
            Though yoga is said to have existed since commencement
            of the civilization, no potent proof supports this claim. The
            ancient seals show yogic postures taking yoga’s infancy to
(25)      around 3000 B.C. It has commendable mention in Upanishads,
            Vedas and the Gita. The Gita propagates Bhakti Yoga,
            Jnana Yoga and Karma Yoga. So we can attribute yoga to
            be the oldest practice of self enhancement. The classic
            version includes postures, meditation and breathing controls.
(30)      Meditation has been a unified part of yogic philosophy.
            Through it a mortal can have spiritual awakening. It relaxes
            us and awakens our consciousness. This simplistic technique
            has allured many in this fast paced world to rejuvenate their
           lives.

Derive a relation between the two passages?

Answer the question based on the following passages.

Passage – 1

            The ongoing conflict between two mega cola companies
            is known to all. All carbonated beverages generally lie under
            the flagship of two champs in this field, Coca Cola Company
            and PepsiCo. The brand conflict has furthered to a great
(5)        extent. The lust to dominate does not extend to supermarkets
            alone. The turmoil extends from control over restaurants
            supply of colas to supplies to big countries. The rivalry is for
            global control.
            This long battle to sweep the global market has lasted for
(10)      decades. It seems as legendary as the conflict of good and
            evil. But the choice depends on consumers’ taste buds.
            The consumer taste criteria adjudge what is ‘good’ and what
            is the ‘evil’.
            Both Coca cola and PepsiCo leave no stone unturned. They
(15)      go to the extent of deterring the rival company on URLs
            and through commercials. Despite all the convulsive
            episodes, and both companies claiming the ball to be in
            their court, the consumer i.e. the jury is still undecided who
            rules the market.

Passage – 2

            The steaming competition is forcing the companies to launch
            new products. The companies are daily remodeling their
            marketing strategy. Through commercials, promotional
            campaigns and consumer benefit schemes they want to
(5)        take the market with a stride but the judgment of the winner
            lies with the rising sales, profits and consumer loyalty. They
            are trying to increase the market share in other beverage
            categories.
            The war to lead the market goes on. Though Pepsi has often
(10)      shown the strategy of developing new products, Coke
            followed the steps and instructed the newly appointed
            marketing executives to pursue the same technique. Pepsi
            had innovative advertising ideas which Coca Cola lacked to
            an extent but both have tried to find and capture any new
(15)      market (foreign) that they could.
            The Coca Cola advertising heads have now tried to capture
            youth’s fancy by using celebrities. While Coca Cola is trying
            to bank on nostalgia with its new ‘Vanilla Coke. (John Travolta
            in pulp fiction at 50’s themed diner), Pepsi is taking over the
(20)      young chasers with Blue Pepsi. Whereas Coke is a leader in
            sodas, Pepsi banks on its snack business. If Pepsi allures the
            new genre, Coke also has a way to go with new consumers in
           its kitty.
