3. Question
Directions for the following items: 3-5

Passage 10
Research suggests that there are creatures that do not know what light means at the bottom of the sea. They do not have either eyes or ears; they can only feel. There is no day or night for them. There are no winters, no summers, no sun, no moon and no stars. It is as if a child spent its life in darkness in bed, with nothing to see or hear. How different our own life is! Sight shows us the ground beneath our feet and the heavens above us-the sun, moon, stars, shooting stars, lightning and the sunset. It shows us day and night. We are able to hear voices, the sound of the sea and music. We feel, we taste, and we smell. How fortunate we are!

Question 4 of 10
4. Question
In an interview the probability of Praveen to got selected is 0.4. The probability of Geetha to got selected is 0.5. The probability of Sam to got selected is 0.6. The probability of Suresh to got selected is 0.8. What is the probability that at least 2 of them got selected on that day?
Correct
Solution: A
Required probability=1 – no one got selected – 1 got selected
No one got selected = (1-0.4) x (1-0.5) x (1-0.6) x (1-0.8) = 0.024
1 got selected= 0.4 x ((1 -0.5) x (1-0.6) x (1- 0.8) ) + 0.5 x ((1-0.4) x (1 -0.6) x (1-0.8)) +0.6 x ((1-0.4) x (1-0.5) x (1 -0.8)) + 0.8 x ((1-0.4) x (1-0.5) x (1-0.6))
= 0.016 + 0.024 + 0.036 + 0.096 = 0.17
So, Required probability = 1 – 0.024 – 0.17 = 0.806Hence, option (a) is correct.
Incorrect
Solution: A
Required probability=1 – no one got selected – 1 got selected
No one got selected = (1-0.4) x (1-0.5) x (1-0.6) x (1-0.8) = 0.024
1 got selected= 0.4 x ((1 -0.5) x (1-0.6) x (1- 0.8) ) + 0.5 x ((1-0.4) x (1 -0.6) x (1-0.8)) +0.6 x ((1-0.4) x (1-0.5) x (1 -0.8)) + 0.8 x ((1-0.4) x (1-0.5) x (1-0.6))
= 0.016 + 0.024 + 0.036 + 0.096 = 0.17
So, Required probability = 1 – 0.024 – 0.17 = 0.806Hence, option (a) is correct.

Question 10 of 10
10. Question
When we speak of ‘Freedom of Press’, we usually mean it in a very technical sense. That is we mean freedom from direction or censorship from the Government. In India, the press is free in this restricted sense. But the real restrictions on the press come from, (i) the advertisers from whom it gets money and (ii) the man or company who owns the newspaper. So even if an editor dares to support a public policy like a ban on smoking in public places, he may not always be successful in pursuing this because his paper may be owned by a company which produces cigarettes. Such restrictions are often invisible unlike Government censorship and are worse.
Which of the following statements sums up the writer’s intention?
Correct
Correct Answer: D Explanation:
Option A is an extreme sentence and those should be avoided.
Option B is wrong. According to the passage unseen factors control press freedom not people’s freedom.
Option C is wrong. Minimum control of press from government is necessary according to the passage.
Hence the correct answer is D.
