READING COMPREHENSION
Directions for Questions : Read the passage and answer the questions that
follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.The existence of mammals on the
earth can be traced back to at least the Triassic time. The rate of development was retarded, till
evolutional change suddenly accelerated in the oldest Paleocene. This resulted in an increase in
average size, larger mental capacity, and special adaptations for different modes of life, during
the Eocene time. Further improvement was seen during the Oligocene Epoch, with the
appearance of some new lines and extinction of others. The Miocene and Pliocene times are
especially significant as they mark the culmination of various groups and a continued approach
toward modern characters. It is in the Miocene time that the mammals reached their peak with
reference to variety and size.
The ability of the mammals to adapt to various modes of life finds a parallel in the reptiles of the
Mesozoic time, and apart form their greater intelligence, the mammals apparently have not done
much better than the corresponding reptilian forms. Undoubtedly the bat is a better flying animal
than the pterosaur, but at the same time the dolphin and whale are hardly more fish like than the
ichthyosaur. Quite a few of the swift-running mammals inhabiting the plains, like the horse and the
antelope, must excel any of the dinosaurs. Although the tyrannosaur was a more weighty and robust
carnivore than perhaps any carnivorous mammal, the lion and the tiger, by virtue of their superior
brain are far more efficient and dangerous beasts of prey. It is significant to note that various species
of mammals gradually adapted themselves to various kinds of lifestyles, some took to grazing on the
plains and were able to run swiftly (horse, deer, bison), others started living in rivers and swamps
(hippopotamus, beaver), inhabiting trees (sloth, monkey), burrowing underground (rodent, mole),
feeding on flesh (tiger, wolf), swimming in the water (dolphin, whale, seal), and flying in the air
(bat). Human beings on account of their superior brain have been able to harness mechanical
methods to conquer the physical world and adapt to any set of conditions.
Such adaptation to different conditions leads to a gradual change in form and structure. This is a
biological characteristic of the youthful, plastic stage of a group. It is seen that early in its evolutional
cycle animals possess the capacity for change, but as the animal progresses in its cycle becoming old
and fixed, this capacity for change disappears. The generalized types of organisms retain longest the
ability to make adjustments when required, and it is from them that new, fecund stocks take origin-
certainly not from any specialized end products. With reference to mammals, we see their birth,
plastic spread in many directions, increased specialization, and in some cases, extinction; this is a
characteristic of the evolutionof life, which can be seen in the geologic record of life.

Directions for Questions : Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the
basis of the information provided in the passage.But man is not destined to vanish. He can be
killed, but he cannot be destroyed, because his soul is deathless and his spirit is irrepressible.
Therefore, though the situation seems dark in the context of the confrontation between the
superpowers, the silver lining is provided by amazing phenomenon that the very nations which
have spent incalculable resources and energy for the production of deadly weapons are
desperately trying to find out how they might never be used. They threaten each other, intimidate
each other and go to the brink, but before the total hour arrives they withdraw from the brink

68. The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would
remove the conventionality, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were characteristic;of
classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time had the humanists
thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at once the dull
pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match
for both of them, and has almost managed to make the understanding of chemical reactions as
dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of
science in education is that it teaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is
living, in making him acquainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time
teaches him how to think logically and inductively by studying scientific method. A certain
limited success has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the
second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or
public school education may be expected to know something about the elementary physics and
chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly more than any bright boy can
pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of
scientific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers
 and the requirements of the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not
learn scientific method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are
told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which
educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more
dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty years of education in
the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect whatever. The only
way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience, and, until
the educational or social systems are altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the
production of a minority of people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and
a still smaller minority who are able to use and develop them.
69. The author implies that the 'professional schoolmaster' has (ACCENTURE)a)no interest in
teaching science b)thwarted attempts to enliven education c)aided true learning d)supported
the humanists e)been a pioneer in both science and humanities.
70. The author's attitude to secondary and public school education in the sciences is
(ACCENTURE)a)ambivalent b)neutral c)supportive d)satirical e)contemptuous

d)markedly e) ridiculously
72. The author blames all of the following for the failure to impart scientific method through the

experience d)the social and education systems e)lack of interest on the part of students
73. If the author were to study current education in science to see how things have changed since he
wrote the piece, he would probably be most interested in the answer to which of the following
questions? (ACCENTURE)a)Do students know more about the world about them? b)Do
students spend more time in laboratories?c)Can students apply their knowledge logically?d)
Have textbooks improved?e) Do they respect their teachers
74. Until a hundred years ago as humans we had a simple, uncomplicated biological connect. It was a
straightforward equation: we drew roughly 3,000 calories each of energy out of the Earth for our
food and life's sustenance. Today that number per capita has grown to 1,00,000 calories. We still
need only 3,000 calories each to nourish life itself. All the rest of this energy is what we extract
from the Earth for everything else besides keeping ourselves alive. In some countries, like the
US; this per capita number runs at over 2,00,000 calories. Some of us are concerned about this.
We fret over what we could - and should - really be doing to soften this abuse of resources. Little
things fox us in the welter of things that we get to read. What is sustainable development? How
can it be started at our homes? Beyond the ceremonial planting of green and getting people to run
marathons of various lengths in support of the environment, is there more that we can add to the
abstract value of 'sustainability'? What are the little things we can do in our day-to-day lives, to
reduce demand for things that people make and market? Of course, we know that it helps to avoid
a plastic bag when you can use a newspaper bag, or a brown bag, or even a jute bag which you
can use for many more years unlike a plastic bag which you throw away in less than a week or
after a few uses. However, there's actually quite a bit more that you and I can do, without
compromise on comfort, with very little as cost incurred, with financial savings that you can gain
on energy and water use, and with solutions that are very feasible and within your reach. It is
possible to understand our ecological footprint and its disastrous consequences, not merely in
terms of our own behaviour as consumers, but really in terms of the impact on the environment
we make. (ACCENTURE)
75. What is the primary concern of the passage ? (ACCENTURE)a)There is a need to save energy,
especially for our future. b)All of us should not only plant trees but also run the marathon.
c)Use of plastic bags should be completely banned. d)We need to respect the Earth and consume
less of its calories.
76. Why does the author ask his audience to use a jute bag? (ACCENTURE) a)Jute bags look more
trendy and stylish. b)It is the need of the hour, to save energy, to save our ecosystem. C)Using
 jute bags helps in consuming only 3,000 calories from the Earth. d)They are more easily
available.
77. Which one of the following statements cannot be inferred from the passage?
(ACCENTURE)a)There are many little things we can do to save our Earth. b)Only running
marathons of various lengths does not help. C)We do not depend on the Earth for our food
and life sustenance. d)A lot many years before, our association with the Nature was quite simple.
78. A suitable title to the passage could be (ACCENTURE) a)Lets Shift to Jute! b)How to Consume
Few Calories? C)Save Energy, Save the Earth! d)The Earth Heading for a Disaster.

158. There is a password of four digit number, if the 2nd digit is 5, the sum of the 1st and 3rd digit is
equal to the 2nd digit and the last digit is equal to the fisrt digit then find the number of ways to
access a password which has an odd number be the sum of its digits.a) 1 b)2 c)3 d)0
(ACCENTURE)
Exp: Let the four digit password be abcd. Given that b = 5.And a + c = 5.The first digit of a
password may be zero. Then the possibilities of (a,c) are (0,5), (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1) and
(5,0).Given that the last digit of the password is equal to the first digit and the sum of the digits
is an odd number. Then the possibilities are 0550, 1541, 2532, 3523, 4514 and 5505 and their
respective sum are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.Therefore the possible password are 1541, 3523
and 5505.Hence the required number of ways is 3.
159. If in a cricket one day match, there were no wide balls, no wides, no extras and no overthrows.
What is the maximum number of runs that a batsman can score in an ideal case scenario? a)
1600 b) 1653 c) 1550 d) 1000. (ACCENTURE)
Exp: For an ideal case, the batsman will hit a six on each ball. But if he hits six on the last ball
of the over, the strike will change in the next over. Thus, the best he can do in the last ball is
run 3 runs so that he retains the strike even in the next over. Thus the total runs that he can
score in each over:6 * 5 + 3 = 33.But this will have to go like it only till the 49th over. In the
last over, he can hit a six in the last ball as well as that will be the last ball of the match. Thus
runs for the last over will be 6 * 6 = 36.Hence the maximum runs = 33 * 49 + 36 = 1653.

and on touching second bulb , you will find bulb to be normal(not warm) =>3rd bulb is the ans.
161. In front of you, there are 9 coins. They all look absolutely identical, but one of the coins is fake.
However, you know that the fake coin is lighter than the rest, and in front of you is a balance
scale. What is the least number of weightings you can use to find the counterfeit coin?
(ACCENTURE)
Exp: The answer is 2. First, divide the coins into 3 equal piles. Place a pile on each side of the
scale, leaving the remaining pile of 3 coins off the scale. If the scale does not tip, you know that
the 6 coins on the scale are legitimate, and the counterfeit is in the pile in front of you. If the
scale does tip, you know the counterfeit is in the pile on the side of the scale that raised up.
Either way, put the 6 legitimate coins aside. Having only 3 coins left, put a coin on each side of
the scale, leaving the third in front of you. The same process of elimination will find the
counterfeit coin.
