DIRECTIONS (Qs. 71-80) : Read the following passage carefully

and answer the questions given below it.
Once upon a time a dishonest king had a man called the
Valuer in his court. The Valuer set the price which ought to be
paid for horses and elephants and the other animals. He also set
the price on jewellery and gold, and things of that kind. This man
was honest and just, and set the proper price to be paid to the
owners of the goods. The king, however, was not pleased with
this Valuer, because he was honest. "If I had another sort of a
man as Valuer, I might gain more riches," he thought.
One day the king saw a stupid, miserly peasant come into
the palace yard. The king sent for the fellow and asked him if he
would like to be the Valuer. The peasant said he would like the
position. So the king had him made Valuer. He sent the honest
Valuer away from the palace.
Then the peasant began to set the prices on horses and
elephants, upon gold and jewels. He did not know their value, so
he would say anything he chose. As the king had made him
Valuer, the people had to sell their goods for the price he set. By
and by a horse-dealer brought five hundred horses to the court
of this king. The Valuer came and said they were worth a mere
measure of rice. So the king ordered the horse-dealer to be given
the measure of rice, and the horses to be put in the palace stables.
The horse-dealer then went to see the honest man who had
been the Valuer, and told him what had happened. "What shall I
do?" asked the horse-dealer. "I think you can give a present to
the Valuer which will make him do and say what you want him to
do and say," said the man. "Go to him and give him a fine present,

6
then say to him: "You said the horses are worth a measure of rice
but now tell what a measure of rice is worth! Can you value that
standing in your place by the king?" If the says he can, go wth
him to the king, and I will be there, too."
The horse-dealer thought this was a good idea. So he gave
a fine present to the Valuer, and said what the other man had told
him to say., The stupid Valuer took the present, and said: "Yes, I
can go before the king with you and tell what a measure of rice is
worth. I can value that now." Well, let us go at once," said the
horse-dealer. So they went before the king and his ministers in
the palace.
The horse-dealer bowed down before the king, and said:
"O King, I have learned that a measure of rice is the value of my
five hundred horses. But will the king be pleased to ask the Valuer
what is the valuer of the measure of rice". The king, not knowing
what had happened, asked, "How now, Valuer, what are five
hundred horses worth?" "A measure of rice, O King!" said he.
"Very good, then! If five hundred horses are worth a measure of
rice, what is the measure of rice worth?" "The measure of rice is
worth your whole city," replied the foolish fellow.
The ministers clapped their hands, laughing, and saying,
"What a foolish Valuer! How can such a man hold that office?
We used to think this great city was beyond price, but this man
says it is worth only a measure of rice, "Then the king was
ashamed, and drove out the foolish fellow. "I tried to please the
king by setting a low price on the horses, and now see what has
happened to me!" said the Valuer, as he ran away from the
laughing crowd.
