Directions—(Q. 36 to 50) Read the following passage carefully and
answer the questions given below it. Certain words / phrases have been
printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the
questions.

A man called Ramaya lived in a small village. Despite being a nice
man, he did not have any friends. It was well known in the town that
anyone unfortunate enough to look at him first thing in the morning
would not be able to have food that day. That was why no one in the
town liked encountering Ramaya in the morning, if they could help it.
As soon as the king heard this rumour he decided to try it out
himself.

He summoned Ramaya to the palace and ordered him to sleep in a room
adjacent to his bedchamber. Ramaya had no choice but to follow the
king's order. He feared that the rumour would come true. The next
morning, the first thing the king did after waking up, was to take a
look at Ramaya. When the king reached the breakfast table, he saw that
the royal chef had forgotten to prepare his favourite dish. This
angered him and he refused to have breakfast. After finishing a few
important duties in the court, the king went to the dining hall for
lunch. The food arrived piping hot. The king had hardly picked up the
first morsel when he caught sight of a fly in the food. He left the
table in disgust and when the food was prepared again for him, he
found that he had lost his appetite. At the dinner table, an ignorant
minister started eating before the king had started. This offended the
king. He stormed out of the dining hall and refused to come back. As a
result, the king could not eat anything at all that day. The enraged
king was now convinced that Ramaya was really jinxed. He ordered that
Ramaya be hanged. In those days the king's word was the law. The
soldiers had no option but to take Ramaya to the gallows. While on
their way to the gallows, they met the court jester. He heard the
story from Ramaya. The jester felt that it was an unfair decision and
that none of this was Ramaya's fault. He came up with a plan to save
Ramaya from being hanged. He whispered something in Ramaya's ears.
Ramaya nodded before being whisked away.

It was mandatory to grant one last wish to the person who was being
hanged. When the soldiers asked Ramaya about his last wish, he asked
them to convey a message to the king. He also requested that he be
hanged only after hearing the king's response. "Tell the king that
while it may be true that anyone who sees my face first thing in the
morning does not get anything to eat that day, it's also true that if
anyone sees the king's face first thing in the morning, as I did, he
has to lose his life. So who's the greater jinx - the king or I ?"
said Ramaya.

On hearing the message, the king was stunned. He realised his
foolishness and ordered his soldiers to stop the execution. He
summoned Ramaya and offered him gifts. He also requested Ramaya not to
say anything about the incident to the public. He was sure that the
people of the village wouldn't take well to the idea of having a
jinxed person for a ruler. Ramaya agreed. When the villagers saw
Ramaya returning with the gifts, they assumed that the rumour was
false and that the king had given the gifts to Ramaya as compensation.

ignore Ramaya.
