CAT CRACKER MAY 03






1  An input signal emerging from 'P' reaches 'R' tracing the longest possible path. How many intermediate
nodes the signal must pass through?
(1) 2 (2) 3 (3) 4 (4) 5


2 . What is the path a signal must trace if it reaches 'X' to 'Y' through the longest path?
(1) X – P – A – N – R – M – Y (2) X – P – A – M – Y
(3) X – P – N – A – M – Y (4) X – P – R – N – A – M – Y


3. If no signal can pass through the node 'P', then what is the length of the shortest path (in nm) from 'A'
to 'Y'?
(1) 12 (2) 13 (3) 14 (4) 16


4. Which of the following can never be the time taken by an input signal to reach 'Y' from 'N'?
(1) 2.6 mili-second (2) 2.8 mili-second (3) 3.6 mili-second
(4) 4.6 mili-second


5. If a device is installed at node 'N' which delays the passing signal by 0.4 mili-second, then in how
many of the following cases, the time taken by the signal to reach its destination will get affected by it?
I. Signal moving from 'X' to 'M' through the shortest path
II. Signal moving from 'R' to 'Y' through the longest path
III. Signal moving from 'A' to 'Y' through the shortest path
IV. Signal moving from 'P' to 'Y' through the shortest path
(1) 0 (2) 1 (3) 2 (4) 4


Q 6-9 



6 By the reference to commonness, the rhetoricians are trying to imply
(1) An understanding that would revolutionize the media in the future.
(2) A meeting ground for people who are not in favour with digital technology.
(3) A common view which creates a need to think and argue about the future of journalism.
(4) A common understanding which makes it clear that the future of journalism is bleak.


7 The author 's attitude towards the title of the forum is one of
(1) Sarcasm (2) Dissonance (3) Concord (4) Ambivalence


8. Which of the following does not represent the future scenario of journalism as advocated by the
author?
(1) The journalist who has accurate knowledge of truth will stand to gain.
(2) The knowledge of truth that a journalist possesses will make the traditional modes of journalism
redundant.
(3) A journalist taking on the responsibilities of a legislator and also articulating universal and necessary
truths.
(4) None of the above.

9. The primary purpose of the author in the passage is to
(1) Clarify the background before he makes a particular argument about the future of journalism in
the changing mediascape.
(2) Give examples to support the fact that universal knowledge and universal truth will be the pillars
of future journalism.
(3) Assert that digital technology is creating change in the mediascape and that journalists have to be
prepared for the same.
(4) Attack traditional journalism and point out its inability to adjust to the changing mediascape.

Shruti: Neha would not make an effective teacher. She is too lenient to fail students and too critical to
reward any student with good marks.
An assumption central to the argument above is that

(1) effective teachers fail a certain percentage of their students and reward the rest with high marks.
(2) a teacher must be capable of either rewarding students with high marks or failing students in
order to be
an effective teacher.
(3) it is impossible to fail a student and then later reward him with high marks.
(4) in order to fail or reward her students, Neha must be an effective teacher.
