Directions (Q. 41-50): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain
words/phrases in the passage are printed in bold to help
you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Indra foresaw that a supreme contest was inevitable
between his son Arjuna and Karna; and he put on the garb
of a Brahmana and came to Karna, who was reputed for his
charity, and begged of him his earrings and armour. The
Sun god had already warned Karna in a dream that Indra
would try to deceive him in this manner. Still, Karna could
not bring himself to refuse any gift that was asked of him.
Hence he cut off the earrings and armour with which he
was born and gave them to the Brahmana.
Indra, the king of gods, was filled with surprise and
joy. After accepting the gift, he praised Karna as having
done what no one else would do, and shamed into
generosity, bade Karna ask for any boon he wanted.
Karna replied: I desire to get your weapon, the Sakti
which has the power to kill enemies. Indra granted the
boon, but with a fateful proviso. He said: You can use this
weapon against but one enemy, and it will kill him
whosoever he may be. But this killing done, this weapon
will no longer be available to you but will return to me.
With these words Indra disappeared.
Karna went to Parasurama and became his disciple by
representing to him that he was a Brahmana. He learnt of
Parasurama the mantra for using the master weapon known
as Brahmastra. One day Parasurama was reclining with
the head on Karnas lap when a stinging worm burrowed
into Karnas thigh. Blood began to flow and the pain was
terrible, but Karna bore it without tremor lest he should
disturb the masters sleep. Parasurama awoke and saw the
blood which had poured from the wound. He said: Dear
pupil, you are not a Brahmana. A Kshatriya alone can remain
unmoved under all bodily torments. Tell me the truth.
Karna confessed that he had told a lie in presenting
43. Why could Karna not refuse the demands for his
earrings and armour made by Indra?

2) Because Karna was known for his charity.
3) Karna, being the son of a charioteer, could not
refuse Indra, the King of Gods.
4) Karna was deceived by Indra in the guise of a
Brahmana.
5) None of these
44. Why did Parasurama curse Karna?
1) Because Karna decided to use the Brahmastra on
Parasurama.
2) Because Karna failed to learn the techniques of a
Kshatriya.
3) Because Karna concealed his identity and betrayed
his master.
4) Because Karna had vowed to destroy the hermitage
of Parasurama.
5) None of these
45. What would be the effect of the curse?
1) That Karna would not be able to recall the
Brahmastra spell when his hour came.
2) That the invocatory mantra would cease to act on
the person targeted
3) That he would not be able to pass the spell to his
friends
4) That he would be killed by his own invocatory
mantra of the Brahmastra
