Q:

If  1 1 1 1 = R
    2 2 2 2 = T
    3 3 3 3 = E
    4 4 4 4 = N

 

Then  5 5 5 5 = ?

A) Y B) Z
C) T D) X
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Y

Explanation:

If you add all the terms of the LHS of equality, then the last letter of the sum written in words would give you the RHS.

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 = FOUR

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 = EIGHT

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 = TWELVE

4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 = SIXTEEN

 

So, following the same pattern.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 = TWENTY

 

That gives us our answer to 5 5 5 5 =  "Y".

Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

 

It is a labour of love and the result of painstaking research. Chikankari - A Lucknawi Tradition by Paola Manfredi, an Italian, is a book that shows her close and long association with the craft. Lucknow’s chikankari is known across the world yet very little research or documentation has been done. Articles or features have appeared off and on but this book is amongst the first of its kind, which aims to document the vast treasure called Chikan. What makes the book extremely interesting is that unlike other books that tend to rely on second hand material, with exhaustive references and quotes, Paola Manfredi has filled her tome with passionate grass-roots level research. The narrative more in the nature of a personal journey, with all the quirks and street-smart practicality, makes the book refreshing. As Paola says in the book, it is not a scholarly or academic research but more of a documentation of the world of chikankari.

Paola questions the use of chikan as a word for embroidery, highlighting that it has a broader connotation encompassing haute couture, the fine art of making a garment, embroidering it and finishing it with finesse. She is no stranger to chikankari having worked with SEWA and several craftsmen. Her love for white on white embroidery also found a calling in chikan. Paola came to India to work in textile exports and as she says, “If you like textiles ... India is a heaven, an inexhaustible treasure trove.”

 

What makes the book, ‘Chikankari - A Lucknawi Tradition’ interesting?

A) It is based on personal experience and observation B) It contains all types of chikan designs
C) It is illustrated to highlight the beauty of the art D) The fact that it has been written by a foreigner
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) It is based on personal experience and observation

Q:

Explain Belady's Anomaly?

Answer

Also called FIFO anomaly. Usually, on increasing the number of frames allocated to a process virtual memory, the process execution is faster, because fewer page faults occur. Sometimes, the reverse happens, i.e., the execution time increases even when more frames are allocated to the process. This is Belady's Anomaly. This is true for certain page reference patterns.
