View Solution
The series follows as:
3 × 4 + 1 = 13
13 × 5 + 2 = 67
67 × 6 + 3 = 405
405 × 7 + 4 = 2840 (2839)
2839 × 8 + 5 = 22717
Hence, the wrong term in the series is 2840.
Alternate method: 2840 is only even number and other are odd.

The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the best answer to each question.

In the dojo of the origami purist, there are only two rules: The folder may use just one sheet of square paper, and the paper
cannot be cut or torn in any way. Following these rules to make a figure like a peace crane, with four basic features—a head, a
tail, and two wings—is relatively easy, and origamists traditionally proceeded by trial and error, unfolding and refolding a piece
of paper until it started to resemble, say, a swan. For hundreds of years, origami's most complex patterns topped out at 20
steps.

These days patterns requiring more than 100 steps are common. Some of that competitive acceleration is due to Lang, who
transformed the art by writing a computer program that can generate the blueprint for ultracomplex origami sculptures. Even
with digital assistance, figuring out the sequence of folds that will create a beetle and all its ornaments is a mathematical
problem of staggering complexity. Still, the reigning champion of intricate origami is a 23-year-old Japanese savant named
Satoshi Kamiya. Unaided by software, he recently produced what is considered the pinnacle of the field, an eight-inch-tall
Eastern dragon with eyes, teeth, a curly tongue, sinuous whiskers, a barbed tail, and a thousand overlapping scales. The
folding alone took 40 hours, spread out over several months.

“It's like an extreme sport,” says Tom Hull, a mathematician at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, and longtime origami
enthusiast. The escalation in difficulty has grown so severe that Origami USA has been forced to add a new difficulty rating to
the four (simple, low intermediate, high intermediate, and complex) it has traditionally used. “People showing up to the complex
sessions were getting blown to smithereens,” Hull explains. “So now there's a new category: supercomplex.”

At its core, origami consists of just two folds, mountain and valley. A mountain fold is what you get if you crease a piece of
paper so that it stands up like a pup tent. A valley fold is the same thing turned upside down. Valley folding each corner of a
square so that they meet in the center creates something that looks a bit like a cheese blintz and is therefore known as a blintz
fold. Beyond these two basic folds, the grammar of origami proliferates rapidly. It's possible to blintz a petal fold, or double
blintz it. Likewise, combining a series of squash and petal folds yields a frog base—one of the four traditional bases (called kite,
fish, bird, and frog) from which many traditional origami animals are fashioned.

“All the parts of a base are linked together and can't be altered without affecting the rest of the paper, so that's the part you
have to calculate just right,” Lang says. A base with four flaps is relatively easy to make. Each flap is formed from one of the
corners of the square. Making a base with 17 flaps of the right size and in the right places—what you'd need to create Lang's
flying rhinoceros beetle—is exponentially more difficult. “Figuring out how to make good legs was all people did for years,” Tom
Hull says. “Doing a sixlegged beetle was a big, big deal.”

Lang resisted the challenge for a while. He spent most of the past two decades working as a laser physicist—first at Caltech,
then later for private firms in Silicon Valley—and devoted his off-hours to origami. By 2002, his interest in origami won out. He
quit his job and began folding paper for a living. Since then, he has created everything from a ruby-throated hummingbird to a
full-scale human (commissioned for a German trade show). The jobs are sometimes banal—there's a lot of demand for
cardboard fast-food containers that change shape—but every now and then Lang gets tapped for a more challenging project.
He has been asked to simulate the folds of a car's air bag when packed into a steering column and to design a telescope lens
that could be, shot into space, packed into a nine-foot cylinder and then unfurled to the size of a football field. He also recently
consulted on the development of an origami-inspired medical implant, which he can't talk about other than to say that it was
“big, permanent, and what keeps the person alive.” Origami also turns out to be useful for biological problems, such as
determining how proteins fold in the [Link], shot into space, packed into a nine-foot cylinder and then unfurled to the size of a
football field. He also recently consulted on the development of an origami-inspired medical implant, which he can't talk about
other than to say that it was “big, permanent, and what keeps the person alive.” Origami also turns out to be useful for
biological problems, such as determining how proteins fold in the body.

Over the past 15 years, Lang has been perfecting a program he wrote called TreeMaker, which can render a stick-figure sketch
into a crease pattern—the web of lines that would be left if a finished piece of origami were unfolded and then smoothed. The
software converts the sketch into a set of equations that calculate how the appendages of a complex animal form, like a deer,
should be distributed on the paper in a way that ensures they will neatly emerge during folding without leaving excess paper or
creating areas so wadded up that they can't be folded.

Calculating this, as mathematicians like to say when facing a daunting challenge, is not trivial. Fold a square piece of paper
diagonally, then fold it in half, and the result will be a small isosceles triangle. Switch the order of those folds—in half first, then
diagonally—and you end up with a squashed pentagon. The more folds a pattern has, the harder the problem of finding a
folding sequence becomes. For one of his TreeMaker-guided designs—a life-size, anatomically correct Maine lobster—Lang
was able to generate the crease pattern on the computer in just a few hours. Figuring out how to fold the 120-step pattern on a
sheet of paper about 20 inches square took him almost two years.

“The mind-set to do advanced design is fragile,” Lang says soberly. “You have to hold all these complex surfaces in your mind
and figure out how they interact. If you're pushing the edge of the envelope on something like this, you need total concentration.
Sometimes you'll have 5, 10, 20 creases, and you have to make them all happen at once. You need to develop an intuition
about it.”

To perfect their folding technique, Lang notes, rookies must also attend to details like not creasing folds too sharply. “Do that
and your piece will end up looking tatty. Plus, if there's a point where a lot of those creases come together, the paper can burst.
It just puts too much strain on the fibers."

The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the best answer to each question.

In the dojo of the origami purist, there are only two rules: The folder may use just one sheet of square paper, and the paper
cannot be cut or torn in any way. Following these rules to make a figure like a peace crane, with four basic features—a head, a
tail, and two wings—is relatively easy, and origamists traditionally proceeded by trial and error, unfolding and refolding a piece
of paper until it started to resemble, say, a swan. For hundreds of years, origami's most complex patterns topped out at 20
steps.

folding sequence becomes. For one of his TreeMaker-guided designs—a life-size, anatomically correct Maine lobster—Lang
was able to generate the crease pattern on the computer in just a few hours. Figuring out how to fold the 120-step pattern on a
sheet of paper about 20 inches square took him almost two years.

“The mind-set to do advanced design is fragile,” Lang says soberly. “You have to hold all these complex surfaces in your mind
and figure out how they interact. If you're pushing the edge of the envelope on something like this, you need total concentration.
Sometimes you'll have 5, 10, 20 creases, and you have to make them all happen at once. You need to develop an intuition
about it.”

To perfect their folding technique, Lang notes, rookies must also attend to details like not creasing folds too sharply. “Do that
and your piece will end up looking tatty. Plus, if there's a point where a lot of those creases come together, the paper can burst.
It just puts too much strain on the fibers."

Passage :
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The Cardinal and Jacques Leconte enter the room. In appearance, the Cardinal is something between an El Greco cardinal
and a Van Dyke noble lord. He has the tall, spare form, the elongated hands and features of the former, the trim pointed beard,
the imperial repose, the commanding authority of the latter. But the El Greco features are not really those of asceticism or inner
mystic spirituality. They are the index to a cold, refined but ruthless cruelty in a highly civilised controlled form. Neither is the
imperial repose an aloof mood of proud detachment. It is a refined expression of satanic pride of place and talent.

To a degree, the Cardinal's coldness is artificially cultivated. He has defined himself against his younger brother the Count
De'Winter and is the opposite to the overwrought emotionality of the latter. But the Cardinal's aloof mood is not one of bland
detachment. It is the deliberate detachment of the emotions into the most compact and formidable shape so that when he
strikes, he may strike with more efficient and devastating force. His easy movements are those of the slowly circling eagle just
before the swift descent with the exposed talons. Above all else, he is a man who never for a moment doubts his destined
authority as a governor. He derisively and sharply rebukes his brother the Count as easily and readily as he mocks his mistress
Carmen. His court dress is a long brilliant scarlet cardinal's gown with white cuffs and a white collar turned back over the red,
both collar and cuffs being elaborately scalloped and embroidered. He wears a small cape, reaching only to the elbows. His
cassock is buttoned to the ground, giving a heightened effect to his already tall presence. A richly jeweled and ornamented
cross lies on his breast, suspended from his neck by a gold chain.

Leconte, for his part, is the Renaissance “familiar”, dressed conventionally in somber black with a white collar. He wears a
chain about his neck, a suspended ornament, and a sword. Although a “bravo,” he must not be thought of as a leather jacketed,
heavy-booted, squat and swarthy ruffian. He is also not a sneering, leering, melodramatic villain of the Victorian gaslight
tradition. Like his black-and-white clothes, he is a colorful contradiction, a scholar-assassin, a humanist-hangman; introverted
and introspective, yet ruthless in action; moody and reluctant, yet violent. He is a man of scholarly taste and subtle intellectual
discrimination doing the work of a hired ruffian. Like Count De'Winter, he is inwardly tormented, but not by undiluted passion.
His dominant emotion is an intellectualised one, that of disgust at a world filled with knavery and folly, but in which he must play
a part and at that, a lowly, despicable one.

Answer : B
View Solution
Founder of Missionaries of Charity, Mother Teresa was born on August 26, 1910. She left her home when she was mere 18
and devoted most part of life working for poor and downtrodden. The missionary founded by her looks after people who are
dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis.
1. Mother Teresa also known as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, but her original name was Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu. The word
“Anjeze” means "a little flower" in Albanian.
2. In 1928, when Mother Teresa was just 18 years old, she left her family to devote her life into social service. She had joined
the Sisters of Loreto at Loreto Abbey in Rathfarnhan, Ireland to learn English with the view of becoming a missionary. She
never saw her mother or sister after leaving home.
3. Mother Teresa arrived in India in 1929, when she was mere 19. She spent most of her life in India.
4. Mother Teresa was baptized in Skopje a day after her birth. She later started to consider the day of her baptised, August 27,
as her "true birthday".
5. After arriving in India, Mother Teresa began her novitiate (the period of training and preparation that a Christian novice or
member of a religious order undergoes prior to taking vows in order to discern whether he or she is called to vowed religious
life) in Darjeeling.
6. Mother Teresa learned Bengali and taught at St. Teresa's School near her convent.
7. Mother Teresa took her religious vows on May 24, 1931 and chose to be named after Therese de Lisieux, the patron saint of
missionaries. Though a nun in the convent had already chosen the name, Agnes opted for its Spanish spelling - Teresa.
8. Mother Teresa was disturbed by the poverty surrounding her in Calcutta.
9. On September 10, 1946, Mother Teresa experienced what she later described as "the call within the call" when she travelled
by train to the Loreto Convent in Darjeeling from Calcutta for her annual retreat.
10. Mother Teresa began missionary work with the poor in 1948. She replaced her traditional Loreto habit with a simple white
cotton sari that had a blue border.
11. Mother Teresa adopted Indian citizenship. She also spent several months in Patna to attain basic medical training at Holy
Family Hospital and ventured to slums.
12. In 1950, Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation.
13. While teaching poor children in Calcutta, Mother Teresa did not have any supplies or equipment to impart knowledge, yet
she managed to teach the children to read and write by writing in the dirt with wooden sticks.
14. Mother Teresa rescued 37 children trapped in a front line hospital by brokering a temporary cease-fire between Israel and
Palestine. Accompanied by Red Cross workers, she traveled through the war zone to the destroyed hospital to evacuate the
young patients.
15. Mother Teresa received more than 120 honours and awards during her lifetime including the Ramon Magsaysay Peace
Prize in 1962 and Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
16. Mother Teresa was fluent in 5 languages - English, Hindi, Bengali, Albanian, and Serbian.
17. During her humanitarian missions, Mother Teresa suffered from numerous diseases and injuries. She had pneumonia,
malaria, suffered two heart attacks, and even broke her collar bone.

Status :

Given Answer : D
Answer : B
View Solution
The naval Battle of Swally, also known as Battle of Suvali, took place on 29–30 November 1612 off the coast of Suvali
(anglicised to Swally) a village near the Surat city (now in Gujarat, India) and was a victory for four English East India Company
galleons over four Portuguese galleons and 26 barks (rowing vessels with no armament).
This relatively small naval battle is historically important as it marked the beginning of the end of Portugal's commercial
monopoly over India, and the beginning of the ascent of the English East India Company's presence in India.
This battle also convinced the English East India Company to establish a small navy to safeguard their commercial interests
from other European powers and also from pirates. This small beginning is regarded as the root of the modern Indian Navy.

In FEB, Over 4,000 urban cities have been declared open defecation free (ODF) under the Swachh Bharat Mission, an official

Out of the total 4,378 urban cities, 4,140 have already been declared ODF in the country which is almost 95%.

2014 has increased to 98 per cent.
"Of the actual targets of building 62,42,220 individual toilets, more than 93 per cent have already been constructed. The
ministry has also achieved the 100 per cent target of building community and public toilets with the construction of five lakh
such toilets," the official said.
Apart from this, door-to-door collection of solid waste is in place in 72,503 municipal wards out of 84,229 wards, a target of 86
per cent achieved.
The scientific processing of solid waste has gone up over 50 per cent, which was around 18 per cent in 2014, the official added.
