If A and B are two independent events such that `P(A)=(1)/(2)` and `P(B)=(1)/(5)`, then which of the following is not true ?A. `P(A uuB)=(3)/(5)`B. `P((A)/(B))=(1)/(4)`C. `P((A)/(AuuB))=(5)/(6)`D. `P((AnnB)/(bar(A)uubar(B)))=0` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Since A and B are independent events. `P(A nnB)=P(A)P(B)=(1)/(2)xx(1)/(5)=(1)/(10) and P((A)/(B))=P(A)=(1)/(2)` So, alternative (b) is true. Now, `P(A uu B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A nnB)` `=(1)/(2)+(1)/(5)-(1)/(10)=(3)/(5)` So, alternative (1) is true. Now, `P((A)/(A uu B))=(P[Ann(AuuB)])/(P(AuuB))=(P(A))/(A(AuuB))=(1//2)/(3//5)=(5)/(6)` and `P((AnnB)/(bar(A)uubar(B)))=0` So, alternatives (C) and (D) also hold good. |

Read the passage carefully:1. For lasting and clear eyesight, eyes need care in the form of preventive measures, a continuous life-long exercise. Eyes don't just see, they do the talking. This is why of all our senses the most precious is eyesight. Eyes need care in the form of prevention, and knowing some preventive methods in eye care can make your eyes look bright and healthy and leave you with excellent eyesight. 2. How do we keep eyes bright and healthy? Eat good helpings of vegetables, fruits, omega-3 fatty acids, beta carotenes with vitamins A, C and E, enjoy good sleep and avoid direct sunlight. Therefore, good habits and good general health care does play a major role in eye care. Eyes are windows to the human body; while you look out through this window, we, the eye doctors, can look in to find conditions such as glaucoma, abnormal blood pressures, diabetes, heart diseases and other health concerns much before you notice its adverse impact, and help you take preventive measures. 3. It is never too early to begin eye checkups. Throw a torchlight from different directions and look for fixation in newborns and, if in doubt, take the baby to an eye specialist. By the time a child is four, it is imperative to have a check up every year to look for squint, signs of opacity brought in by cataracts and minus or plus powers to decide whether or not glasses are needed. Ultraviolet- protective sunglasses from childhood can help protect eyes from the harmful UV rays. Once in the teens, contact lenses can be worn in place of glasses, but never sleep with them on as they reduce the supply of air and blood to the cornea and can damage eyes. When in 20s, you can get rid of glasses with lasers, Lasik or permanent contact lenses. 4. An emerging and alarming trend is the Computer Eye Syndrome, which appears to be catching on in early adult life. We cannot escape the use of computers but, sadly, our eyes are not designed to cope with these screens. Continuous staring at the monitors reduces blinking, causes strain to the eyes and can lead to dry eyes as well. Therefore, it is always better to take a break of 10 minutes every hour and look at distant objects such as the landscapes or even television. 5. Glaucoma or raised pressure in eyes and diabetic retinopathy are silent killers of eyesight. Therefore, checking eyes once every six months is essential. If afflicted with diabetes, diet, exercise and drugs are to be remembered in that order to keep the doctor away. 6. Around the age of 40, more or less everybody requires reading glasses, a condition known as presbyopia. But now you can get rid of these glasses as well, with lasers called INTRACOR and SUPRACOR. One can develop cataract- defined as the loss of transparency in the natural lens of the eye - at any age, but it usually strikes in old age. It's treated by replacing the opaque lens with an artificial lens called the intraocular lens. The latest in cataract removal techniques is called femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery, which is blade-free, hands-free and makes the operation precise, safe and accurate. 7. That said, eye care is, inevitably, a continuous exercise through life. - Dr Kasu Prasad ReddyOn the basis of your understanding of the passage answer the following questions with the help of the given options :a. We keep our eyes bright and healthy by: (i) playing in the sun (ii) wearing spectacles (iii) rubbing our eyes frequently (iv) eating good helping of vegetables and fruitsb.

Read the passage carefully: 1. Twenty-six-year-old Verhaen Khanna is not your garden variety green crusader. He's on a mission to cure 'tree blindness'- the habit of not looking at trees. "People just walk past them," he complains, at his New Friends Colony residence office, clad in Batman pyjamas and bathroom slippers. Khanna, as part of New Delhi Nature Society which he set up last year, is educating Delhities about trees in a unique way- by teaching them how to climb them. 2. A generation ago, the practice was commonplace but with today's increasingly indoor living, learning to scale the neem next door sounds like a spot of daredevilry. Anuj Wadhwa, a 26 year old garment exporter learnt to shimmy up trees a few months ago. "Spending time with nature and climbing trees become a spiritual exercise for me. Once you're in a tree, you become part of its ecosystem, which includes birds, insects, fruits and flowers, " says Wadhwa who can spend 40-45 minutes hanging out on tree branches, sometimes with a cup of green tea in hand.3. But it's all about barking up the tree right. "It depends on how and where you sit," Khanna points out. "You have to find a cosy nook, maybe a Y-or a V-shaped branch. Find a hook to rest your arm. Or, you can lie down. It can get so comfortable that I have to warn people from falling off to sleep." A trained commercial pilot, Khanna organizes periodic campouts around Delhi - Jahanpanah city forest near GK-II, Asola Sanctuary, Lodhi Garden, Nehru Park, colony parks in New Friends Colony, Maharani Bagh, GK-I etc.- where he not only teaches members how to climb trees, but also to make a fire, count GPS satellites and stars. 4. While Khanna provides tents and other equipment on these free jaunts, participants have to bring their own food. The tree-lover funds his woody ambitions with his day job as business developer, and as a light painting artist at OLE India- a collaborative of professionals and free thinkers. He has also uploaded tree-climbing tutorials on YouTube. When climbing a straight trunk (coconut or palm), ascend using both arms in tandem (like in a hug) instead of alternating them. But banyan trees, with thick, low lying branches and vines offer a relatively easy climb. 5. Anyone can join NDNS and it's free. The year-old society has been attracting members through word of mouth and sight- the image of men and women sitting atop trees in various city parks. Khanna has organized six outdoor camps in the past year and has taught around 30 people to climb trees. Once up, he briefs participants about the tree and its ecosystem. Details like what kind of fruit and flower it bears, their benefits, the shape and size of leaves, kinds of insects, birds and squirrels living on it, any folk tales associated with it are discussed and shared. Khanna says books, internet and hands-on experience working on farms is the source of his tree knowledge.Tarun Mal, an agriculturist who lives in Gurgaon and runs a farm in Alwar, says the first time he climbed, he was scared of falling. "But once you're inside the canopy, it's a different world and you don't want to come down," he says. For Masrat Khan, a communication expert, the experience brings out the child in her.When not scaling trees, NDNS members are busy doing "guerilla gardening"-planting hardy local tree varieties like neem, babul and jamun wherever possible and often without permission. Their mission to cure tree blindness continues. - Shobhita DharOn the basis of your understanding of the passage answer the following questions with the help of the given options :(a) Verhaen Khanna is on a mission to cure (i) Night blindness (ii) Tree blindness (iii) Colour blindness (iv) None of the above(b) Spending time with nature and climbing trees has become a (i) spiritual exercise (ii) physical exercise (iii) aerobic exercise (iv) All the above(c) When climbing a straight trunk use (i) both arms in tandem (ii) both legs in tandem (iii) both arms and legs in tandem (iv) None of the above(d) When not scaling trees, NDNS members are busy doing (i) Tree Gardening (ii) Flower Gardening (iii) Guerrilla Gardening (iv) None of the aboveAnswer the following question briefly:(e) What do you mean by ‘tree blindness’?(f) What education is being imparted to Delhiites by Verhaen Khanna?(g) What is Anuj Wadhwa’s opinion about nature and climbing trees?(h) What do you become when you are in a tree, according to Wadhwa?(i) Who all can join NDNS and what do they teach?(j) What varieties of trees are planted by the NDNS members??(k) Find words from the passage which means the same as:i.

Read the passage carefully: 1. After a long and arduous struggle to popularise yoga, the world is now waking up to its wonders. Upon my arrival in New York on the evening of June 20, the Art of Living volunteers and the officials at the Permanent Mission of India informed me that the weather forecast predicted heavy rains, even thunderstorms over the next 24 hours. There was concern on their faces as they continued with preparations for the International Day of Yoga celebrations at the United Nations headquarters and Times Square. I remained confident that this momentous day would go well. 2. To the delight of the organising teams, the sun came out just as we arrived at the venue. The UN Secretary General and his wife, the President of the General Assembly, and many ambassadors participated in the programme. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon even said, "We should do this before every negotiation, so that we can work with a calm mind". 3. WHO has warned that depression will become the biggest killer after HIV/AIDS by 2030. Today, an estimated $150 billion is spent on mental illness and depression in the US alone. While the remission rate through medical treatments is less than 14 percent, a study has shown that the remission rate will be 64 percent through meditation and yoga. I suggested to the Secretary General that if countries around the world spend 1 percent of their defence budget on peace education and peace-building through yoga and meditation, it would make a significant difference. 4. In terms of the way forward, we cannot have all and sundry teach anything in the name of yoga. We need to bring quality control and standardisation in teaching. Like cell phones have enhanced comfort and connectivity, yoga can take you to a whole new level. It can be used as a powerful tool in conflict resolution and trust building. 5. When we started our efforts to bring this ancient wisdom to the fore, it was not easy. There was a lot of prejudice against yoga and even meditation. Today, meditation posture has become synonymous with relaxation and comfort. Earlier, the younger generation in the western world would often struggle to convince their parents to open up to the benefits of yoga. Perhaps, this declaration by the UN will make their job easier. - Sri Sri Ravi ShankarOn the basis of your understanding of the passage answer the following questions with the help of the given options :a.

The area of the circular base of a cone is 616 cm2 and its height is 48 cm. Find its whole surface area. [take π = 22/7 ] |
|
Answer» We have height of circular cone is h = 48 cm. And the area of the circular base of the cone is 616 cm2. Let the radius of base of circular cone is r cm. ∴ πr2 = 616 ⇒ r2 = \(\frac{616}{\pi}\) = \(\frac{616}{22}\) × 7 = 28 × 7 = 72 × 22 ⇒ r = 7 × 2 = 14 cm. ∴ Radius of the base of cone is r = 14 cm. The slant height of the cone is l = \(\sqrt{r^2+h^2}\) = \(\sqrt{14^2+48^2}\) = \(\sqrt{196+2304}\) = \(\sqrt{2500}\) = 50cm. Now, The whole surface area of cone = πr(r + l) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 14(14 + 50) = 22 × 2 × 64 = 2816 cm2. ∴ The whole surface area of the cone is 2816 cm2. |

If 3 men or 4 women can reap a field in 43 days, then the number of days in which the field can be reaped by 7 men and 5 women is:1. 122. 103. 154. 14 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12 Given: 3 Men can reap field in 43 days 4 women can reap field in 43 days Concept used: Work done = time × efficiency Calculation: Let the efficiency of one man be 'm' and one women be 'w'. Work done = 3 × m × 43 = 4 × w × 43 ⇒ Ratio of efficiency of man to women, m ∶ w = 4 ∶ 3 Let the efficiency of man and women to be 4x and 3x respectively. Number of days by which 7 men and 5 women can finish work = (3 × 4 × 43)/(7 × 4 + 5 × 3) = 12 days. ∴ The number of days required by 7 men and 5 women to finish work is 12 days. |

Explain the meaning of the proverb ‘Procrastination Is The Thief Of Time’ in about 50 words. |
|
Answer» It has been said, “Never put off for tomorrow’ what you can do today”. Yet there are many people who enjoy postponing things. Such people do not realize the dangers of delaying. Work does not disappear if we postpone it. The difficulty of the work does not get reduced by postponing it. The more we postpone, the more the work piles up. Finally, the load of work seems too much. We then have to work for many days at a stretch under great strain and tension. Finally we do it hurriedly and in a careless manner. It is as bad as not doing the work at all. Again, when some work is delayed, the time which would have been profitably used is wasted. Time wasted is time lost forever. Hence procrastination, that is the habit of postponing things, is rightly called the thief of time. Precious time wasted means opportunities lost, and lost forever. By the time we realize how much time we have wasted and how many opportunities we have missed by delaying word, it may be too late. And then nothing remains for us except to regret and repent. Sometimes a very heavy price has to be paid for delaying things. The person who delays insuring his factory will regret it when the factory is gutted by a sudden fire. Delay in the treatment of a disease may make it worse, and may even result in death. There are other proverbs conveying similar meaning. Thus we say: “Time and tide wait for no man” and “A stitch in time saves nine”. All these proverbs warn us against the dangers of delay in actions, and stress the importance of timely action and punctuality. |

Attractive home furnishings set the stage for pleasant living. A home should have unity within each room and throughout the house. Each room should, harmonize with each other. The colour and styling of each room, particularly, should fit into the colour and styling of the rooms which run out of it. However, furnishings and surroundings expressive of just the right note of restfulness, or elegant simplicity are not often assembled by accident. Most of the home decorators plan extensively by trying colour schemes, finding ingenious ways to make the best of what you have. They shop around to search out the right purchases at prices you can afford to pay. There is a keen pleasure in striving for the perfect result, and great satisfaction in achieving it.A successful house and successful rooms will depend upon the proper relationship of each element used in it to the others and to the whole. Therefore, in selecting each piece it is well to consider the background, the usage, the ‘draperies, the floor covering, the upholstering materials, the woods, shapes, colour scheme, and the “feeling” you prefer for the room.Work and plan to enjoy your house. Limit the expenditures of time, effort and money to the extent of your abilities. Elegance and delicate things may be a drain you can afford only in a limited way. If you can’t afford outside help, select a house and furnishings that require less care. Plan your activities so that tumult and upset are limited to a few rooms-an activity room or a bedroom, or a comer of the dining room.You’ll get more pleasure out of a house if you have a hobby connected with it – collecting antiques or glass, gardening or indoor flower growing ceramics, art, cooking, decorating, flower arrangements, etc. And you’ll get more satisfaction and a great deal of help from studying household activities.You can select a pleasing combination of colours from a wallpaper, a fabric, a flower or scene, or even a picture in a magazine. It is a good idea to make up a colour scheme. Let one colour predominate. Limit a colour scheme to two or three colours, with white or gray tones. |

Let f be a function such that f (mn) = f (m) f (n) for every positive integers m and n. If f (1), f (2) and f (3) are positive integers, f (1) < f (2), and f (24) = 54, then f (18) equals (type in box) |
|
Answer» Calculation: Let the value of f(2) and f(3) be ‘x’ and ‘y’ respectively, ⇒ f(24) = f(8).f(3) = f(2).f(2).f(2).f(3) = 54 ⇒ x3y = 54 ⇒ x3y = 27 × 2 ⇒ x3y = 33 × 2 On comparing, x = 3 and y = 2 ⇒ f(2) = 3 ⇒ f(3) = 2 ⇒ f(18) = f(9).f(2) = f(3).f(3).f(2) ⇒ f(18) = 2 × 2 × 3 ⇒ f(18) = 12 ∴ The value of f(18) equals 12. |

|
Answer» The short story “After Twenty Years” takes place around 10 p.m. along a dark, windy New York City business avenue, mostly within the darkened doorway of a closed hardware store. This particular location had been a restaurant until five years ago. The plot begins with a policeman “on the beat” who discovers a man standing in the dark doorway. The man then proceeds to explain why he is there. He and his best friend, Jimmy Wells had parted exactly twenty years ago to make their fortunes and had promised to meet at that spot “After Twenty Years”. He had gone west and gotten rich and was sure his friend, Jimmy would meet him if he were alive. They talked a while and the policeman carried on. The man from the west wonders if his friend will come. The drama increases in anticipation of the rendezvous. Twenty minutes later, another man, whom we assume is his long lost friend, greets him warmly and they walk arm in arm discussing careers until they come to a well-lit comer near a drug store. The man from the west gets a good look at his companion and discovers that he is not his friend, Jimmy. We are treated to several surprises for the man from the west is under arrest and secondly he is actually ‘Silky Bob’ , a gangster from Chicago and finally the stranger is a plainclothes policeman. However, it seems that these three surprises are not enough. We get the “real” surprise when Jimmy Wells, the original policeman didn’t have the heart to arrest Bob, because he was his friend. |

Write an essay in about 150 words on ‘Where there is a will, there is a way.’ |
|
Answer» Where there is a will, there is a way : Where there is a will, there is a way is an old saying in English which teaches us about the most significant subject of getting success in life. Reaching a nice target becomes our maxim. However achieving a target needs strong determination and commitment. People without having will power never achieve the victory and they curse their destiny. This common saying simply means that if the person is strong-minded enough to get something done, he/ she always will find a way to do that. Fortitude is necessary to get completion in the task as it helps a person to fight with all difficulties and get success. Without grit and will power, we generally tend to give up very easily in the initial stages as we become desperate facing small teething issues. To learn or achieve something in life, will power acts as a channel and enhances the speed of action. It needs a firm and incessant exercise to deeply learn things. We can pass the exam by reading the lessons just a night before the exam. However, we cannot be ranked first in the class, district or state without hard work for the entire year. One needs to be systematic, meticulous and focused to with a strong will power to pavegood to have determination even to the smallest tasks in life and never yield to petty things easily. way for success.

Answer» The young man who entered the coach gave out a smothered curse, he was engaged in searching something elusive angrily and uselessly. From time to time, he dug a six penny bit out of a waist coat pocket and stared at it sadly, then resumed his search. He voluntarily broke the silence. He exclaimed that Mr. Sletherby was going to Bill Manor. He introduced himself as Bertie, the younger son of Mrs. Saltpen-Jago. He admitted that he was away for about six months and had not seen his own mother. Making use of the lucky coincidence that he was going to Brill Manor, he asked for a loan of three pounds as he had lost his sovereign purse and was desperately in need of help. He promised to meet him on the subsequent Monday. There is a dramatic irony when the son himself gives a different version of his mom’s appearance. This influences the decision of Mr. Sletherby in refusing to lend Bertie a loan of three pounds and mistaking the true son Bertie to be a fraud. |

What's the gradient of the curve y = 2t^4 + 3t^3 - t + 4 at the points (0, 4) and (1, 8)? |
|
Answer» First, differentiate the function: 8t3+9t2-1 which gives us the gradient at any point. When t=0, the function is 4 and when t=1, the function is 2+3-1+4=8 which confirms that the given points are on the curve. We only need the t value to find the gradient at the given points, so at t=0 the gradient is -1 and at t=1 it's 8+9-1=16. |
