2Q.

(A) When identity is thus 'defined by contrast', divergence with the West becomes central.
(B) Indian religious literature such as the

Bhagavad Gita or the Tantric texts, which are identified as
differing from secular writings seen as 'western', elicits much greater interest in the West than do other
Indian writings, including India's long history of heterodoxy.
(C) There is a similar neglect of Indian writing on non-religious subjects, from mathematics, epistemology
and natural science to economics and linguistics.
(D) Through selective emphasis that point up differences with the West, other civilizations can, in
this way, be redefined in alien terms, which can be exotic and charming, or else bizarre and terrifying, or
simply strange and engaging.
(E) The exception is the Kamasutra in which western readers have managed to cultivate an interest.

answers are -
1) 2
2) 4
3) 2
since your answers are right for Q no.1 & 2.i aren't posting explanation for them.
explanation for 3rd-

Option 2 is the answer. 1st we can guess that there is a link between D and C(cause-effect relationship) so it gotta be ~DC~.now statement B talks about something that emerged from the
Mathematics of Chance and Statistics. This should be followed by D which states
the fundamental concept based on statement B. Between options 2 and 3. Statement E can
function as an introduction, whereas statement A takes a subjective approach and

has to come at the end.

32. 2CABDE C is clearly the opening statement. Next I chose A because it gives a balanced statement for both sides before focussing on either.

33. 1DCBA Again, D is clearly the opening statement, because it seems to preceed all. Next, out of A and C, C seems better in flow.
