Approach Solution - 1

This question is time-specific, asking who topped global wealth rankings as of March 2019. Reviewing each name:

  1. Bill Gates: A perennial contender for richest person, but not the one topping the March 2019 rankings.
  2. Jeff Bezos: Held the number one position in March 2019, with his fortune driven mainly by his Amazon stake.
  3. Amancio Ortega: Regularly featured near the top of such lists, but below the leading position at this time.
  4. Bernard Arnault: Ranked highly as well, though he had not yet claimed the top spot in this particular period.

The March 2019 rankings placed Jeff Bezos ahead of the other three names listed.

The correct answer is Jeff Bezos.

Approach Solution -2

Thinking of the four names as a numbered rank list for March 2019 and placing each in its actual slot is a direct way to answer this.

  1. Bill Gates: He typically occupied the second or third position on such lists around this period, not the top slot.
  2. Jeff Bezos: He occupied the number one position on the global rich list released in March 2019.
  3. Amancio Ortega: He generally ranked lower down the top few positions during this period, not at the summit.
  4. Bernard Arnault: He was climbing the rankings around this time but had not yet reached the number one slot in March 2019.

Assigning each name its actual rank confirms that only Jeff Bezos held the number one position at that time.

Therefore, the correct answer is Jeff Bezos.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

According to the passage, which was the unfinished part of Gandhi's experiment?

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
