Question 19

– Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow

I drop Khasnobis at the Park Hotel – I suspect he has a booze session there – and dart quickly out of the heart of Calcutta. The Salt Lake City is on the right side of a alodrous road leading to the Calcutta airport. This new township is relatively clean and its roads are broad – Bengal’s Chief Minister lives here – but it lacks the tang of old Calcutta. It has some bizarre buildings. My guest house, for instance, is an architectural flimflam. One first walks into a cavernous hall painted pastel blue. A concrete carbuncle erupts right at the centre of its otherwise flat roof. Its cavity is painted baby pink. Mock Corinthian pilasters protrude from its walls. At the end of

the hall is a flight of stairs, which leads to a set of rooms with ornate wooden doors. One of the rooms is mine. My room usually smells dank, but today it is prussic acid. I call the caretaker.

“What is this smell?”

He wrinkles his nose and sniffs the air.

“It is room freshener, sir.” He fishes out a container from one of the side cupboards and hands it over to me. It is indeed the room freshner. It assures you of a redolence of wild roses. “I was happy with dank, friend”. “Sir?” “Never mind. Is there another room vacant? I can’t sleep in this room.”

The caretaker wrings his hands. “No room is vacant on this floor sir. I could ask one of the guests to swap his room with yours.” “No, I don’t want that. What about the rooms on the top floor?”

“We have two rooms on the top floor, sir. One of them is vacant. But it is not air- Conditioned.” “I don’t mind sleeping there. Kindly get the roon ready for me.”

The night is breezy and pleasant. I light up a mosquito repellent and, in the whirring Comfort of the ceiling fan, lapse into a delicious sleep. I wake up with a start, sweating all over. The ceiling fan has ceased whirring. The power must have gone off. The mosquito coil eyes me with an orange glow. Where is Ghosh sleeping now? Does he have a ceiling fan in his room? Or a mosquito coil? Does he have a room at all? Is he sleeping in the open? As I stand up and walk towards the window the ceiling fan begins its drone. The light that comes from a

window a few yards across from mine is not strong enough to illuminate my room but bright enough to show me what is going on in that room. I silently draw the Curtains and get back to bed. I am not a voyeur. Based on the information given in the passage about the narrator’s place of Accommodation, find out the option that is erroneous.

  1. The rooms with ornate wooden doors were not on the topmost floor of the guest house And were air-conditioned and occupied.
    1. The guest house opens into a huge hall painted in pastel blue which has a false ceiling at the center of the room done in baby pink.
    1. The single storey guest house, located in old calcutta, is an example of bizarre buildings in the area and is itself a sham of architectural design.

Question 22

– Read the passage and answer the question

When we arrive at the crucial tension at the heart of gender identity politics, and one that most of its proponents either haven’t noticed, or choose to ignore because it can only be resolved by rejecting some of the key tenets of the doctrine. Many people justifiably assume that the word ‘transgender’ is synonymous with ‘transesxual’, and means something like : having dysphoria and distress about your sexed body, and having a desire to alter that body to make it more closely resemble the body of opposite sex. But according to the current terminology of gender identity politics, being transgender has nothing to do with a desire to change your sexed body. What it means to be trasngender is that your innate gender identity does not match the gender you were assigned at birth. This might be the case even if you are perfectly happy and content in the boy you possess. You are transgender simply of you identify as one gender, but socially have been perceived as another. It is a key tenet of the doctrine that the vast majority of people can be described as ‘cisgender’, which means that our innate gender identity matches the one we were assigned at birth. But as we have seen, if gender identity is a spectrum, then we are all non-binary, because none of us inhabits the points represented by the ends of that spectrum. Every single one of us will exist at some unique point along that spectrum, Determined by the individual and idiosyncratic nature of our own particular identity, and our own subjective experience of gender. Given that, it’s not clear how anybody ever could be cisgender. None of us was assigned our correct gender identity at Birth, for how could we possibly have been? Once we recognise that the number of gender identities is potentially infinite, we are forced to concede that nobody is deep down cisgender, because nobody is assigned the correct gender identity at birth. In fact, none of us was assigned a gender identity

at birth at all. We were placed into one of two sex classes on the basis of our potential reproductive function, determined by our external genitals. We were then raised in accordance with the socially prescribed gender norms for people of that sex. We are all educated and inculcated into one of two roles, long before we are able to express our beliefs about our innate gender identity, or to determine for ourselves the precise point at which we fall on the gender continuum. So defining transgender people as those who at birth were not assigned the correct place on the gender spectrum has the implication that every single one of us is transgender; there Are no cisgender people. The logical conclusion of all this is: if gender is a spectrum, not a binary, then everyone is trans. Or alternatively, there are no trans people. Either way, this a profoundly unsatisfactory conclusion, and one that serves both to obscure the reality of female oppression, as well as to erase and invalidate the experiences of transsexual people. The way to avoid this conclusion is to realize that gender is not a spectrum. It’s not a spectrum, because it’s not an innate, internal essence or property. Gender is not a fact about persons that we must take as fixed and essential, and then build our social institutions around that fact. Gender is socially constructed all the way through, an externally imposed hierarchy, with two classes, occupying two value positions: male over female, man over woman, masculinity over femininity. The truth of the spectrum analogy lies in the fact that conformity to one’s place in the hierarchy, and to the roles it assigns to people, will vary from person to person. The solution is not to reify gender by insisting on ever more gender categories that Define the complexity of human personality in rigid and essentialist ways. The Solution: is to abolish gender altogether. We do not need gender. We would be better

off without it. Gender as a hierarchy with two positions operates to naturalise and perpetuate the subordination of female people to male people, and constrains the Development of individuals of both sexes. Reconceiving of gender as an identity spectrum represents no improvement.The solution to an oppressive system that

puts people into pink and blue boxes is not to create more and more boxes that are any colour but blue or pink. The solution is to tear down the boxes altogether. Which statement is true among the four options?

  1. Social structures around the globe have become amorphous and porous, making it very easy for the average citizen to express his/her beliefs about their distinctive gender identity.
  2. Family and society mould us, educate us and inculcate progeny into one of two roles. As infants, expression of disparate attractions, identity or beliefs is non-existent.
  3. From ancient times, Indian government has been inclusive about all manner of sexual identity and our relifious texts are replete with people professing vaious identities.
  4. The author is a leader of social mores and religion, enabling her to understand the vicissitudes among human beings.

Question 23

– Though Nature dictates biology, gender politics is social. Which option

Correctly reflects this truism?

  1. The rules of natural law are intrinsic to humans. But human nature and positive law may be independent of it. Society and governments want to legislate, and not necessarily Accept man’s inherent rights.
    1. It is in the best interest of natural order that men and women follow the ancient rule of hunter-gatherer and nurturer. There is a higher order and meaning in this division of labour, and society should follow it.
    1. Though biology and birth are factual and fixed, a result of evolution or God, gender politics is a socially constructed pyramid, imposed by the stronger or richer, that says man occupies a higher position and has power over women.
    1. Power play and politics manipulates the economically or socially weak for political benefit routinely. Toxic ideas of gender shape social identity and political thought. In this, Nature is left far behind, an expedient accomplice.

Question 24

– Which is the simplest way to describe a transgender, according to the

  1. The description is about people who enjoy the freedom to exercise their individual Choices in any way.
    1. The description is about outcasts and outliers in society, who simply cannot fit into the normal social dynamics.
    1. It describes a person who feels wronged by parents and society and straightjacketed into Apersona they are not. 4. The description is about the instinctual personality at a person discovered as antithetical to what was originally and natally dispensed.

Question 25

– Would you infer from the passage that ‘cisgender’ humans occupy at

least half of the population?

    1. It is conjectured that there are some who are comfortable in their personalities/skin, possibly identify wholly with a social or biological construct and accept the cisgender theory to describe themselves.
    1. Almost all humans are not hundred percent classically masculine or feminine but have inimitable crossover personality traits. E.g. a man may be ultra sensitive, or a lady a highly reasonable stoic. This implies we are unique and non binary, not a true cisgender
    1. If man considers himself an animal, albeit an evolved one, then a clear male-female gender universe makes an equitable universe, where different labels do not have any meaning.
    1. Our subjective experience about gender influences the adult we will eventually become, regardless of what we were called at birth. It is a choice of some societies, and thus Cisgender offers clarity place and position. Reasoning Ability

Question 1

Jack and Jill are playing string game. Jack has given Jill two strings A and B.

Jill has to derive a string C from A,by deleting elements from string A, such that string C does not contain any element of string B. Jill needs help to do this task. She wants a program to do this as she is lazy. Given strings A and B as input ,give string C as Output. Example 1: • Input: tiger -> input string A ti -> input string B • Output: ger -> Output string C • Explanation: After removing “t” and “i” from “tiger”, we are left with “ger”. So, the answer is “ger”.

Example 2: • Input: processed -> input string A esd -> input string B • Output: proc -> Output string C • Explanation: After removing “e” “s” and “d” from “processed”, we are left with “proc”. So, the answer is “proc”.

Example 3: • Input: talent -> input string A tens -> input string B • Output: Al -> Output string C

Explanation: After removing “t” “e” and “n” from “talent”, we are left with “al”. So, the answer is “al”.

C++ #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;

int main() { string a,b; Cin>>a; Cin>>b; string c = " "; for(int i=0; i< a.length();i++){ for(int j=0; j< b.length()-1;j++){ if(a[i]==b[i]) Continue; else C+=a[i]; } }

Question 2

Mahesh and Suresh are playing a new game “Checkers“. This is a very simple game But becomes challenging when more expert players are playing. Below is the description of the game and rules: The game is played by 2 players. This game consists of an N*M matrix. Each of the cells is background lit by lights. And these cells are either Green or Black. The green and black cells are randomly lit

And will be represented with 1’s and 0’s respectively. Green cells are the cells that needs to be captured. Black cells cannot be captured Everyone is in the race to capture the maximum number of cells possible. In a single chance, a player can capture all those adjacent cells which share an edge. Once there is no adjacent edge the chance breaks and the next player will play. Mahesh always starts the game and Suresh is second. Both players are playing optimally, find out how many cells Suresh captures. Input: • N and M, size of matrix A[i][j] for all 1<=i<=N and 1<=j<=M Let us try to understand it with an example Consider the matrix below N = 4 M = 4 A= 1001 0110 0110 1001 If Mahesh plays first, he will try to capture most of the 1’s, he will capture A[2][2], A[2][3], A[3][2] and A[3][3]. Now there is no adjacent cells left. So, the chance will be given to Suresh. Now Suresh’s turn. He can capture either of A[1][1] or A[4][1] or A[4][7] or A[4][4]. He will capture any one cell, and as there is no adjacent deft, the chance will now be given to Mahesh. The game proceeds and then again Suresh’s turn will come, and he will again be able to choose only 1 cell and finally Mahesh will end the game by choosing the final cell. Like this Mahesh has captured 6 cells and Suresh has captured only 2 cells. Hence 2 is the answer. Example 1: • Input: 2 2 -> Input integer, N, M 1 1 -> Input integer, A[i] 1 1 -> Input integer, A[N] • Output: 0 -> Output • Explanation: In the above scenario, it is very clear that if Mahesh plays first, he will capture all the cells As all the cells are adjacent to each other. There will be nothing left for Suresh. Hence the cells captured by Suresh will be 0. Hence the answer is 0. Example 2: • Input: 4 4 -> Input integer, N, M 1001 -> Input integer, A[i] 0110 -> Input integer, A[i+1] 0110 -> Input integer, A[i+2] 1001 -> Input integer, A[N] • Output: 2 -> Output • Explanation: If Mahesh plays first, he will try to cover most of the 1’s, he will cover A[2][2], A[2][3], A[3][2] and A[3][3]. Now there is no adjacent cells left. So, the chance will be given to Suresh. Now Suresh’s turn. He can capture either of A[1][1] or A[4][1] or A[4][1] or A[4][4]. He will capture any one cell, and as there is no adjacent left, the chance will now be given to Mahesh. The game proceeds and then again Suresh’s turn will come, and he will again be able to choose only 1 cell, and finally Mahesh will end the game by choosing the final cell. Like this Mahesh has captured 6 cells and Suresh has captured only 2 cells. Hence 2 is the answer.
