MCQ-> Read the passage carefully and answer the given questionsThe complexity of modern problems often precludes any one person from fully understanding them. Factors contributing to rising obesity levels, for example, include transportation systems and infrastructure, media, convenience foods, changing social norms, human biology and psychological factors. . . . The multidimensional or layered character of complex problems also undermines the principle of meritocracy: the idea that the ‘best person’ should be hired. There is no best person. When putting together an oncological research team, a biotech company such as Gilead or Genentech would not construct a multiple-choice test and hire the top scorers, or hire people whose resumes score highest according to some performance criteria. Instead, they would seek diversity. They would build a team of people who bring diverse knowledge bases, tools and analytic skills. . . .Believers in a meritocracy might grant that teams ought to be diverse but then argue that meritocratic principles should apply within each category. Thus the team should consist of the ‘best’ mathematicians, the ‘best’ oncologists, and the ‘best’ biostatisticians from within the pool. That position suffers from a similar flaw. Even with a knowledge domain, no test or criteria applied to individuals will produce the best team. Each of these domains possesses such depth and breadth, that no test can exist. Consider the field of neuroscience. Upwards of 50,000 papers were published last year covering various techniques, domains of enquiry and levels of analysis, ranging from molecules and synapses up through networks of neurons. Given that complexity, any attempt to rank a collection of neuroscientists from best to worst, as if they were competitors in the 50-metre butterfly, must fail. What could be true is that given a specific task and the composition of a particular team, one scientist would be more likely to contribute than another. Optimal hiring depends on context. Optimal teams will be diverse.Evidence for this claim can be seen in the way that papers and patents that combine diverse ideas tend to rank as high-impact. It can also be found in the structure of the so-called random decision forest, a state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithm. Random forests consist of ensembles of decision trees. If classifying pictures, each tree makes a vote: is that a picture of a fox or a dog? A weighted majority rules. Random forests can serve many ends. They can identify bank fraud and diseases, recommend ceiling fans and predict online dating behaviour. When building a forest, you do not select the best trees as they tend to make similar classifications. You want diversity. Programmers achieve that diversity by training each tree on different data, a technique known as bagging. They also boost the forest ‘cognitively’ by training trees on the hardest cases - those that the current forest gets wrong. This ensures even more diversity and accurate forests.Yet the fallacy of meritocracy persists. Corporations, non-profits, governments, universities and even preschools test, score and hire the ‘best’. This all but guarantees not creating the best team. Ranking people by common criteria produces homogeneity. . . . That’s not likely to lead to breakthroughs.Which of the following conditions, if true, would invalidate the passage’s main argument?

MCQ->In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage. When Shah Jahan eternalised his love for Mumtaz, he must have believed that the river would be flowing forever. There was no solid ground on which the foundation could be built. So they used a well foundation, an engineering practice using deep wells to lower the water table and filling them with rocks and mortar. Finally they were capped with wooden, boxlike structures on which the mausoleum was constructed. The Yamuna is an integral part of the Taj’s design and there was no anticipation that it would dry or become narrow. But the river has narrowed and it is polluted. The wooden foundations are likely to become brittle and might disintegrate because, as Venice, built on a wooden foundation, shows, longevity of wood increases when it is submerged in water. When the wood is not exposed to oxygen there are no microorganisms to promote decay. A dry Yamuna could promote disintegration of the wooden foundations, the corrosive effect of the polluted water adding to the decay. Statement: To retain the structural integrity of the Taj Mahal, the river Yamuna must be restored and revived. Choose the appropriate one from the following options A -The statement is definitely true. B -The statement is probably true. C -The statement is cannot be det ermined. D -The statement is definitely false.....

MCQ->In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage.The strong olfactory sense elephants ar e known for has come as a blessing in disguise for the police in curbing illicit liquor trade in Uttarakhand’s Udham SinghNagar district. The animals find lahan, the substance used for brewing liquor, hidden in forests of Khatima in the district, and destroy them. Manufacturers brew it near nullahsdeep inside the forests or near the villages to avoid police raids as flowing water is required for fermentation.Lahan is sealed in barrels or polythene bags and buried for four to five days for fermentation. Elephants reach the spot by smelling the substance and destroy the barrels to consume the liquor, said Yogesh Upadhaya, inspector, Khatima police station. He said some traders keep the barrels on scaffoldings on trees but they are easily spotted by the police. “We have destroyed thousand litres of lahan in the past 23 months. They were stored in barrels on scaffoldings,” said Yogesh Upadhyay, inspector. “Miscreants place barrels of lahan on trees to keep them away from elephants. Elephants find them and destroy the barrels to consume the substance, causing heavy loss to the manufacturers,” he added. A villager, said: “The liquor is sold for Rs 80 to 100 per litre in villages. Since it is cheaper than liquor available in the market, people buy it even after knowing its impact on health. Elephants are playing vital role in curbing the trade.” Statement: Lahan is one of the costliest liquor that is available.Choose the appropriate one from the following options A The statement is definitely true.

MCQ->In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage. Using knives and shears, a pair of Russian spacewalkers on Tuesday cut samples of material around a mysterious hole in a Soyuz spacecraft docked on the International Space Station that a Moscow official suggested could have been deliberately sabotaged. The 2 mm cavity on the Soyuz spaceship docked at the ISS caused an air leak detected in August, two months after the craft’s last voyage. Roscosmos space agency said the aim was to discover whether the small but dangerous hole had been made on Earth or in space, to cut away the insulation covering the hole, take out a sample of the material around it to analyse and put new insulation over the area. Roscosmos chief stated that an investigation had ruled out a manufacturing error. The veteran cosmonauts struggled but eventually succeeded in their mission. Before this spacewalk, astronauts had only been able to examine the hole from inside the spacecraft. What made it especially hard is that the Soyuz spacecraft, unlike the ISS, was not designed to be repaired in spacewalks and has no outside railings for astronauts to hold onto. Statement: The mysterious hole in the Soyuz spacecraft is not due to manufacturing error.Choose the appropriate one from the following options A - The statement is definitely true. B - The statement is probably true. C - The statement cannot be determ ined. D - The statement is definitely false.....
