Category: QuantDistance between Ranchi to Chandil is 300 km. At 8:00 am Rishi starts from Chandil and Mukesh starts from Ranchi at certain speed. They increase their speed after every 30 mins by 5 km/h. At the time of start ratio of speed of Rishi and Mukesh is 3:2. Find the starting speed (in kmph) of Mukesh if they meet each other at 11:00 am on the same day.
Correct
Let the starting speed of Rishi and Mukesh be 6x and 4x
ATQ,
Distance travelled by Rishi and Mukesh in,
first 30 min=3x+2x=5x
second 30 min=(3x+2.5)+(2x+2.5)=5x+5
in same way distance travelled in sixth interval of 30 min=5x+25
hence we can write
5x+(5x+5)+(5x+10)+…….+(5x+25)=300
So, 30x+75=300
Or, x= 7.5
Thus, speed of Mukesh = 4×7.5=30 kmphIncorrect

Question 121 of 200
121. Question
Category: EnglishRead the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
People living in places with a high prevalence of communicable diseases understandably consider it normal to succumb to disease. This was also the case a century ago in the developed world. The state has to improve sanitation and public health services to reduce the prevalence of these diseases, despite lack of public demand for such services. Most countries around the world have made this a priority, viewing it as essential to building development infrastructure, improving human capital and labour productivity, and reducing poverty. Health services in India have prioritized medical services, neglecting public health services that seek to reduce the population’s exposure to disease. This neglect is evidenced in many ways, such as the explosive growth of an array of mosquito-borne diseases. Faecally transmitted diseases, which include infections from a whole cafeteria of parasites, viruses and bacteria, cause widespread debility and can be fatal. Treatment for such diseases is sought on a huge scale across the country, while faecal waste continues to be poorly managed . Studies show that major Indian rivers now contain antibiotic-resistant matter, supplying water that can threaten immunity to available drugs.
Reducing exposure to communicable diseases is of the highest priority in public health services, as their spread causes severe negative spillovers. This applies also in countries where these diseases have long been eliminated, to avoid their resurgence. For example, there is constant monitoring of mosquito-breeding in the US, although malaria was eliminated by the 1940s. There is constant surveillance of imported cases of communicable diseases, so as to quickly limit their spread. As Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, put it, “Focusing on clinical services while neglecting services that reduce exposure to disease is like mopping up the floor continuously while leaving the tap running.”
These services save incalculable medical costs. Quantifying such counterfactuals is difficult, but consider the cost to the developed world if communicable diseases were still endemic there. An indirect indicator of the gains from communicable disease control is the small gap in life expectancy between the richest and the poorest in the US, despite their vast differences in living conditions and access to healthcare. A 2016 study by Raj Chetty and colleagues, published in the Journal of The American Medical Association, finds that US female life expectancy at age 40 is 79 years in the lowest 1% of the income distribution, only 10 years lower than those in the top 1%. This suggests that Indian public funds could improve health outcomes far more if spent on public health instead of subsidizing health insurance.
India’s employment guarantee schemes could use lessons from the US’ Depression-era public works programme. In areas badly affected by malaria, this labour was used for large-scale drainage and other works to control malaria, with technical inputs from public health personnel and sanitary engineers. The Swachh Bharat campaign could also use such technical expertise to maximize its impact in reducing exposure to diseases.
Charitable foundations can emulate the Rockefeller Foundation’s efforts to improve public health and sanitation. In the early 20th century, they found that 40% of school-aged children in the southern US had hookworm, an aggressive faecally transmitted parasite that can cause listlessness and stunting. They sponsored demonstration projects combining deworming treatment, campaigns to raise people’s awareness of the problem, and technical assistance in building latrines in homes and public buildings. The state health authorities learnt from this approach and applied it widely. Hoyt Bleakley’s 2006 analysis in the Quantitative Journal of Economics finds that programme beneficiaries gained in school attainment and earnings.
The Central government can do much to strengthen public health service delivery in India. Tamil Nadu offers some basic organizational principles whereby other states can strengthen their public health systems within their existing administrative and fiscal resources. My colleagues and I described this system in a 2010 article in the Economic and Political Weekly. The Central government could link its fiscal support to states with phased progress in (1) the establishment within the state health departments of separate public health directorates with their own budgets and staff, managed by medical doctors trained in public health administration; (2) the enactment of public health Acts to provide the basic legislative underpinning for public health action; and (3) the revitalization of public health cadres.According to the passage, India needs to take necessary steps to reduce the prevalence of diseases. How?
(I) India should take necessary steps to manage the faecal waste to prevent Faecally transmitted diseases which include infections from a whole cafeteria of parasites, viruses and bacteria.
(II) To reduce the population’s exposure to disease, India should improve sanitation and public health services.
(III) India should give emphasis on building development infrastructure, improving human capital and labour productivity, and reducing poverty.
(IV) India should make its rivers antibiotic-resistant free.Correct
Referring to the first paragraph of the passage, we infer that all the given sentences are necessary steps which must be taken by India to reduce the prevalence of the diseases.
Incorrect
Referring to the first paragraph of the passage, we infer that all the given sentences are necessary steps which must be taken by India to reduce the prevalence of the diseases.

Hence sentence (d) is not true. Sentences (b) and (c) are not mentioned in the passage. Hence sentence (a) is the correct choice.

123. Question
Category: EnglishRead the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
People living in places with a high prevalence of communicable diseases understandably consider it normal to succumb to disease. This was also the case a century ago in the developed world. The state has to improve sanitation and public health services to reduce the prevalence of these diseases, despite lack of public demand for such services. Most countries around the world have made this a priority, viewing it as essential to building development infrastructure, improving human capital and labour productivity, and reducing poverty. Health services in India have prioritized medical services, neglecting public health services that seek to reduce the population’s exposure to disease. This neglect is evidenced in many ways, such as the explosive growth of an array of mosquito-borne diseases. Faecally transmitted diseases, which include infections from a whole cafeteria of parasites, viruses and bacteria, cause widespread debility and can be fatal. Treatment for such diseases is sought on a huge scale across the country, while faecal waste continues to be poorly managed . Studies show that major Indian rivers now contain antibiotic-resistant matter, supplying water that can threaten immunity to available drugs.
Reducing exposure to communicable diseases is of the highest priority in public health services, as their spread causes severe negative spillovers. This applies also in countries where these diseases have long been eliminated, to avoid their resurgence. For example, there is constant monitoring of mosquito-breeding in the US, although malaria was eliminated by the 1940s. There is constant surveillance of imported cases of communicable diseases, so as to quickly limit their spread. As Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, put it, “Focusing on clinical services while neglecting services that reduce exposure to disease is like mopping up the floor continuously while leaving the tap running.”
These services save incalculable medical costs. Quantifying such counterfactuals is difficult, but consider the cost to the developed world if communicable diseases were still endemic there. An indirect indicator of the gains from communicable disease control is the small gap in life expectancy between the richest and the poorest in the US, despite their vast differences in living conditions and access to healthcare. A 2016 study by Raj Chetty and colleagues, published in the Journal of The American Medical Association, finds that US female life expectancy at age 40 is 79 years in the lowest 1% of the income distribution, only 10 years lower than those in the top 1%. This suggests that Indian public funds could improve health outcomes far more if spent on public health instead of subsidizing health insurance.
India’s employment guarantee schemes could use lessons from the US’ Depression-era public works programme. In areas badly affected by malaria, this labour was used for large-scale drainage and other works to control malaria, with technical inputs from public health personnel and sanitary engineers. The Swachh Bharat campaign could also use such technical expertise to maximize its impact in reducing exposure to diseases.
Charitable foundations can emulate the Rockefeller Foundation’s efforts to improve public health and sanitation. In the early 20th century, they found that 40% of school-aged children in the southern US had hookworm, an aggressive faecally transmitted parasite that can cause listlessness and stunting. They sponsored demonstration projects combining deworming treatment, campaigns to raise people’s awareness of the problem, and technical assistance in building latrines in homes and public buildings. The state health authorities learnt from this approach and applied it widely. Hoyt Bleakley’s 2006 analysis in the Quantitative Journal of Economics finds that programme beneficiaries gained in school attainment and earnings.
The Central government can do much to strengthen public health service delivery in India. Tamil Nadu offers some basic organizational principles whereby other states can strengthen their public health systems within their existing administrative and fiscal resources. My colleagues and I described this system in a 2010 article in the Economic and Political Weekly. The Central government could link its fiscal support to states with phased progress in (1) the establishment within the state health departments of separate public health directorates with their own budgets and staff, managed by medical doctors trained in public health administration; (2) the enactment of public health Acts to provide the basic legislative underpinning for public health action; and (3) the revitalization of public health cadres.Why is the author giving more emphasis on public health services to reduce the exposure to communicable diseases?
Correct
Referring to the third paragraph of the passage, we conclude that sentences (b) and (c) are correct.
“These services save incalculable medical costs”, “An indirect indicator of the gains from communicable disease control is the small gap in life expectancy…”. Hence option (d) is the right choice.Incorrect

Question 128 of 200
128. Question
Category: EnglishRead the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Passage1:
The mental consequences of our online info crunching are not universally bad. Certain cognitive skills are strengthened by our use of computers and the Net. These tend to involve more primitive mental functions, such as hand eye coordination, reflex response, and the processing of visual cues. One much cited study of video gaming revealed that after just 10 days of playing action games on computers, a group of young people had significantly boosted the speed with which they could shift their visual focus between various images and tasks.
It’s likely that Web browsing also strengthens brain functions related to fast paced problem solving, particularly when it requires spotting patterns in a welter of data. A British study of the way women search for medical information online indicated that an experienced Internet user can, at least in some cases, assess the trustworthiness and probable value of a Web page in a matter of seconds. The more we practice surfing and scanning, the more adept our brain becomes at those tasks.
But it would be a serious mistake to look narrowly at such benefits and conclude that the Web is making us smarter. In a Science article published in early 2009, prominent developmental psychologist Patricia Greenfield reviewed more than 40 studies of the effects of various types of media on intelligence and learning ability. She concluded that “every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others.” Our growing use of the Net and other screen based technologies, she wrote, has led to the “widespread and sophisticated development of visual spatial skills.” But those gains go hand in hand with a weakening of our capacity for the kind of “deep processing” that underpins “mindful knowledge acquisition, inductive analysis, critical thinking, imagination, and reflection.”
We know that the human brain is highly plastic; neurons and synapses change as circumstances change. When we adapt to a new cultural phenomenon, including the use of a new medium, we end up with a different brain, says Michael Merzenich, a pioneer of the field of neuroplasticity. That means our online habits continue to reverberate in the workings of our brain cells even when we’re not at a computer. We’re exercising the neural circuits devoted to skimming and multitasking while ignoring those used for reading and thinking deeply.
Passage 2
Critics of new media sometimes use science itself to press their case, citing research that shows how “experience can change the brain.” But cognitive neuroscientists roll their eyes at such talk. Yes, every time we learn a fact or skill the wiring of the brain changes; it’s not as if the information is stored in the pancreas. But the existence of neural plasticity does not mean the brain is a blob of clay pounded into shape by experience.
Experience does not revamp the basic information processing capacities of the brain. Speed reading programs have long claimed to do just that, but the verdict was rendered by Woody Allen after he read Leo Tolstoy’s famously long novel War and Peace in one sitting: “It was about Russia.” Genuine multitasking, too, has been exposed as a myth, not just by laboratory studies but by the familiar sight of an S U V undulating between lanes as the driver cuts deals on his cell phone.
Moreover, the effects of experience are highly specific to the experiences themselves. If you train people to do one thing (recognize shapes, solve math puzzles, find hidden words), they get better at doing that thing, but almost nothing else. Music doesn’t make you better at math, conjugating Latin doesn’t make you more logical, brain training games don’t make you smarter. Accomplished people don’t bulk up their brains with intellectual calisthenics; they immerse themselves in their fields. Novelists read lots of novels, scientists read lots of science.
The effects of consuming electronic media are likely to be far more limited than the panic implies. Media critics write as if the brain takes on the qualities of whatever it consumes, the informational equivalent of “you are what you eat.” As with ancient peoples who believed that eating fierce animals made them fierce, they assume that watching quick cuts in rock videos turns your mental life into quick cuts or that reading bullet points and online postings turns your thoughts into bullet points and online postings.The author of Passage 1 indicates which of the following about the use of screen based technologies?

Choice (c) is the best answer. The author of Passage 1 indicates that people can benefit from using screen based technologies as these technologies strengthen “certain cognitive skills” (sentence 2 of paragraph 1) and the “brain functions related to fast paced problem solving” (sentence 1 of paragraph 2).

These tend to involve more primitive mental functions, such as hand eye coordination, reflex response, and the processing of visual cues. One much cited study of video gaming revealed that after just 10 days of playing action games on computers, a group of young people had significantly boosted the speed with which they could shift their visual focus between various images and tasks.
It’s likely that Web browsing also strengthens brain functions related to fast paced problem solving, particularly when it requires spotting patterns in a welter of data. A British study of the way women search for medical information online indicated that an experienced Internet user can, at least in some cases, assess the trustworthiness and probable value of a Web page in a matter of seconds. The more we practice surfing and scanning, the more adept our brain becomes at those tasks.
But it would be a serious mistake to look narrowly at such benefits and conclude that the Web is making us smarter. In a Science article published in early 2009, prominent developmental psychologist Patricia Greenfield reviewed more than 40 studies of the effects of various types of media on intelligence and learning ability. She concluded that “every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others.” Our growing use of the Net and other screen based technologies, she wrote, has led to the “widespread and sophisticated development of visual spatial skills.” But those gains go hand in hand with a weakening of our capacity for the kind of “deep processing” that underpins “mindful knowledge acquisition, inductive analysis, critical thinking, imagination, and reflection.”
We know that the human brain is highly plastic; neurons and synapses change as circumstances change. When we adapt to a new cultural phenomenon, including the use of a new medium, we end up with a different brain, says Michael Merzenich, a pioneer of the field of neuroplasticity. That means our online habits continue to reverberate in the workings of our brain cells even when we’re not at a computer. We’re exercising the neural circuits devoted to skimming and multitasking while ignoring those used for reading and thinking deeply.
Passage 2
Critics of new media sometimes use science itself to press their case, citing research that shows how “experience can change the brain.” But cognitive neuroscientists roll their eyes at such talk. Yes, every time we learn a fact or skill the wiring of the brain changes; it’s not as if the information is stored in the pancreas. But the existence of neural plasticity does not mean the brain is a blob of clay pounded into shape by experience.
Experience does not revamp the basic information processing capacities of the brain. Speed reading programs have long claimed to do just that, but the verdict was rendered by Woody Allen after he read Leo Tolstoy’s famously long novel War and Peace in one sitting: “It was about Russia.” Genuine multitasking, too, has been exposed as a myth, not just by laboratory studies but by the familiar sight of an S U V undulating between lanes as the driver cuts deals on his cell phone.
Moreover, the effects of experience are highly specific to the experiences themselves. If you train people to do one thing (recognize shapes, solve math puzzles, find hidden words), they get better at doing that thing, but almost nothing else. Music doesn’t make you better at math, conjugating Latin doesn’t make you more logical, brain training games don’t make you smarter. Accomplished people don’t bulk up their brains with intellectual calisthenics; they immerse themselves in their fields. Novelists read lots of novels, scientists read lots of science.
The effects of consuming electronic media are likely to be far more limited than the panic implies. Media critics write as if the brain takes on the qualities of whatever it consumes, the informational equivalent of “you are what you eat.” As with ancient peoples who believed that eating fierce animals made them fierce, they assume that watching quick cuts in rock videos turns your mental life into quick cuts or that reading bullet points and online postings turns your thoughts into bullet points and online postings.As used in sentence 1, paragraph 4 of passage 1, “plastic” most nearly means
Correct
Choice (c) is the best answer. In sentence 1 of paragraph 4, the author states, “We know that the human brain is highly plastic; neurons and synapses change as circumstances change.” In this context, the brain is “plastic” because it is malleable, or able to change.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because in this context “plastic” does not mean creative, artificial, or sculptural.Incorrect

Correct
Choice (b) is the best answer. In sentences 1 and 2 of paragraph 2, the author of Passage 2 explains how speed reading does not “revamp,” or alter, how the brain processes information. He supports this statement by explaining how Woody Allen’s reading of War and Peace in one sitting caused him to describe the novel as “about Russia.” Woody Allen was not able to comprehend the “famously long” novel by reading it speedily.
Choices (a) and (d) are incorrect because Woody Allen’s description of War and Peace does not suggest he disliked Tolstoy’s writing style or that he regretted reading the book. Choice (c) is incorrect because the anecdote about Woody Allen is unrelated to multitasking.Incorrect
