Q:

Statement I :

A person may suffer from tuberculosis if she/he frequently visits crowded place.

Statement II :

Bacteria of tuberculosis spread through droplets by sneezing or coughing.

 

A) Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Explanation:

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a type of bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

It's spread when a person with active TB disease in their lungs coughs or sneezes and someone else inhales the expelled droplets, which contain TB bacteria.

One would have to spend prolonged periods (several hours) in close contact with an infected person to catch the infection yourself.For example, TB infections usually spread between family members who live in the same house. It would be highly unlikely for you to become infected by sitting next to an infected person on a bus or train. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.

Q:

(which is sold) P (for its horn) Q (the Rhinoceros is hunted by poachers) R (at high prices) S

The correct sequence should be

A) S Q P R B) Q R S P
C) R Q P S D) Q P S R
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) R Q P S

Explanation:

Since, the starting statement carries a subject; R will be the first statement. The next statement describes why are they hunted, so Q follows P, as it states that what is being done with the horns. S would be the concluding statement and thus form a coherent paragraph.

The correct formation would be, ‘The Rhinoceros is hunted by poachers for its horn which is sold at high prices.’
