For decades, Western culture has been reluctant to assign an inherent value or a purpose to
art--even as it continues to hold art in high esteem. Though we no longer seem comfortable
saying so, our reverence for art must be founded on a timeless premise; that art is good for
us. If we don't believe this, then our commitment in money, time and study--makes little
sense. In what way might art be good for us?The answer, I believe, is that art is a therapeutic
instrument. Its value lies in its capacity to exhort, console and guide us toward better
versions of ourselves and to help us live more flourishing lives individually and collectively.

Resistance to such a notion is understandable today, since ‘therapy’ has become associated
with questionable, or at least unavailing methods of improving mental health. To say that art
is therapeutic is not to suggest that it shares therapy’s methods but rather its underlying
ambition. To help us to cope better with existence. While several predominant ways of
thinking about art appear to ignore or reject the goal, their ultimate claim is therapeutic as
well.

Art capacity to shock remains for some a strong source of some of its contemporary appeal.
We are conscious that individually and collectively, we may grow complacent; art can be
valuable when it disrupts or astonishes us. We are particularly in danger of forgetting the
artificiality of certain norms. It was once taken for granted, for instance, that women should
not be allowed to vote and that the study of ancient Greek should dominate the curricula of
English schools. It’s easy now to see that those arrangements were far from inevitable, they
were open to change and improvement.

When Sebastian Errazuirz created dollar signs out of ordinary street markings in Manhattan,
his idea was to jolt passers-by into a radical reconsideration of the role of Money in daily
life- to shake us out of our unthinking devotion to commerce.

Question: The title that best suits for the passage is:

Several Companies have announced that they plan to continue the option of Working from
home after the Pandemic. The reasons being greater flexibility in balancing work and family
life and higher productivity due to time saved in commute to the workplace. For employers,
this is a cost-effective option as the travel expenses are low and there is less need for office
space. It is also believed that a home-officer has fewer distractions, thereby making the
employee more efficient.

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

On the contrary, it is observed that some employees may not be able to thrive in physically
isolated environments as they need social interaction to keep up their motivation.

While working from home-office provides increased flexibility for the work situation, it
could provide less flexibility in terms of collaborative work. There is a greater need for
structure, planning and clear communication in digital mode. Meetings need to be planned in
detail. The digital modality does have a few restrictions especially pertaining to
communication- related aspects of working. In the digital mode, making spontaneous and
necessary changes related to processes or projects proves to be quite challenging.

The subtle, yet significating, drawback of working exclusively is the inability to pick up cues
from the body language of colleagues, like we would, when we are in physical space

Mental health can affect daily living, relationships, and physical health. Factors in people's
lives, interpersonal connections, and biological factors can all contribute to mental health
disruptions. Looking after mental health can preserve a person’s ability to enjoy life. Doing
this involves reaching a balance between life activities, responsibilities, and efforts to
achieve psychological resilience. Conditions such as stress, depression, and anxiety can all
affect mental health and disrupt a person’s routine. Although mental health is in everyday
use, many conditions that doctors recognise as psychological disorders have physical roots.

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

Mental health is about not only avoiding active conditions but also looking after ongoing
wellness and happiness. Preserving and restoring mental health is crucial on an individual
basis, as well as throughout different communities and societies the world over. In the United
States, the National Alliance on Mental Illness estimates that almost 1 in 5 adults experience
mental health problems each year.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), in 2017, an estimated 11.2
million adults in the U.S., or about 4.5% of adults, had a severe psychological condition.
Everyone has some risk of developing a mental health disorder, no matter their age, sex,
income, or ethnicity. In the U.S. and much of the developed world, mental disorders are one
of the leading causes of disability. Social and financial circumstances, biological factors, and
lifestyle choices can all shape a person’s mental health. A large proportion of people with a
mental health disorder have more than one condition at a time. It is important to note that
good mental health depends on a delicate balance of factors and that several elements of life
and the world at large can work together to contribute to disorders.

Question: What is understood by “mental health disruptions”from the above paragraph?

a. Extreme illness of the mind and body

b. of the brain
c. Abnormal functioning of the mind
d. Lack of coordination between the brain and the other parts of the body

Question 1:
An automobile company manufactures both a two wheeler (TW) and a four wheeler (FW). A
company manager wants to make the production of both types of vehicle according to the given
data below:
1st data, Total number of vehicle (two-wheeler + four-wheeler)=v
2nd data, Total number of wheels = W

The task is to find how many two-wheelers as well as four-wheelers need to manufacture as per
the given data.

Example :
Input :
200 -> Value of V
540 -> Value of W

Output :
TW =130 FW=70

Explanation:
130+70 = 200 vehicles
(70*4)+(130*2)= 540 wheels

Constraints :
2<=W
W%2=0
V<W

Print “INVALID INPUT” , if inputs did not meet the constraints.

The input format for testing

The candidate has to write the code to accept two positive numbers separated by a new line.

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

First Input line - Accept value of V.
Second Input line- Accept value for W.

The output format for testing

Written program code should generate two outputs, each separated by a single space
character(see the example)
Additional messages in the output will result in the failure of test case

Solution in C++:

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

int main()
{
int v,w; cin>>v>>w;
float x=((4*v)-w)/2;
if((w&1) || w<2 || w<=v)
{cout<<"INVALID INPUT"; return 0;}
cout<<"TW="<<x<<" "<<"FW="<<v-x;
}

Solution in Python:

v=int(input())
97

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

w=int(input())
if (w&1)==1 or w<2 or w<=v:
print("INVALID INPUT")
else:
x=((4*v) -w)//2
print("TW={0} FW={1}".format(x,v-x))

Solution in Java:
import java.util.*;
public class Solution
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
int v=sc.nextInt();
int w=sc.nextInt();
float res=((4*v)-w)/2;
if(w>=2 && (w%2==0) && v<w )

Question 2:

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

Given a string S(input consisting) of ‘*’ and ‘#’. The length of the string is variable. The task is to
find the minimum number of ‘*’ or ‘#’ to make it a valid string. The string is considered valid if the
number of ‘*’ and ‘#’ are equal. The ‘*’ and ‘#’ can be at any position in the string.

Note : The output will be a positive or negative integer based on number of ‘*’ and ‘#’ in the input
string.

(*>#): positive integer

(#>*): negative integer
(#=*): 0

Example 1:
Input 1:
###*** -> Value of S

Output :
0 → number of * and # are equal

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

int main()
{
string s;
int a=0,b=0;
getline(cin,s);
for(auto i:s)

There is no need to distinguish work from occupation. Work is understood to be a necessity

that is done to sustain life in general and in particular, though occupation also contributes to
one's subsistence but it takes effort and energy in tandem with one’s willingness and requires
continuous endeavour. To proletariat class, the need to work is significant, because it does
not have to think about finding out the ways to release its energy. Since work brings palpable
benefits, it does instil a sense of satisfaction. Hence, work should be seen as a means to
achieve other ends but occupation is a goal itself, hence it should be agreeable and not done
as drudgery.

But if the element of need is minimised, some works are akin to occupation. All works where
artistic and imaginative faculties are to be employed such as writing, painting, playing or
social service, the need is negligible and want is paramount. Because these people are elated
at exploring the spontaneous creative energy and their doing so is the very reward of their
work. The higher is the pleasure, the greater will be the satisfaction. But for a lot of people
there should be an amalgamation of the pleasure of occupation and the necessity of work.
They always prefer an employment path trodden for them to be a path finder.\

In earlier times, the responsibility of an economic system to give work was neglected
because the entire system strived to make an enterprise to make only profit. But when the
profit dwindled, the capacity also came down, hence the workers, who were associated with
the costs of production, were hired when needed and laid off when not needed. They never
demanded work as a basic right. The labour movement everywhere emerged mainly as a
protest against treating the workers as commodities to be bought and sold without
considering their needs as _________
What was the chief cause of labour movement?

a. A need to share the wealth of owners

b. A desire to increase productivity
c. A resentment against treating workers as commodities
d. A move to mobilise women for work

Some of the most striking images from the early days of the pandemic, when public health
orders and lockdowns ground economies to a halt, were the arresting photos of the
Himalayas, suddenly visible from across the northern India, as decades of unreleasing smog
finally abated. Unbelievably, some locals glimpsed the immense mountain range for the first
time in their lives.

It’s never too late to clear things up. And the pandemic has revived a movement that its roots
in the 18th century, when the word “sustainability” was first coined (in German) to describe
a new approach to forestry enabling a continual harvest of wood. It’s a movement widely
believed to have entered the mainstream with the 1987 Our Common Future report - a UN-
backed initiative, overseen by Norway’s then prime minister. Gro Harlem Brundtland, which
laid out an ambitious pathway towards a ‘sustainable economy’. This left us with the
enduringly relevant definition of sustainability as ‘development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.

dough, local hiking), provides new momentum for calibrating cultural values and changing
the very trajectory of our globalised industrial society

In many ways, sustainability has been a success story. It has driven an unprecedented
increase in renewable energy, revived local and organic food markets, led to the start of the
phasing out of single-use plastics, catalysed circular economy systems and sparked an
unprecedented normalisation and institutionalisation of sustainability within governments,
NGOs, corporations and universities, making many organisations less wasteful, more energy-
efficient and more committed to the “triple bottom line”, which means weighing equally
social, environmental and financial wellbeing. The rise of theories such as Kate Raworth’s
“doughnut economics”, adopted by the city of Amsterdam, offer exciting new ways for such
ideas to be further adapted.

Which of the following is NOT a positive outcome of sustainability?

a. Promotion of local food without harmful chemicals

b. Rise in renewable energy
c. Ban on the production of fossil fuel
d. Cut in the use of harmful synthetic material

Question 2:
Given an integer array Arr of size N the task is to find the count of elements whose value is
greater than all of its prior elements.
Note : 1st element of the array should be considered in the count of the result.
For example,
Arr[]={7,4,8,2,9}
As 7 is the first element, it will consider in the result.
8 and 9 are also the elements that are greater than all of its previous elements.

Since total of 3 elements is present in the array that meets the condition.
Hence the output = 3.

Example 1:
Input
5 -> Value of N, represents size of Arr
7-> Value of Arr[0]
4 -> Value of Arr[1]
8-> Value of Arr[2]
2-> Value of Arr[3]

Question 3:
Airport security officials have confiscated several item of the passengers at the security check
point. All the items have been dumped into a huge box (array). Each item possesses a certain
amount of risk[0,1,2]. Here, the risk severity of the items represent an array[] of N number of
integer values. The task here is to sort the items based on their levels of risk in the array. The
risk values range from 0 to 2.

Example :
Input :
7 -> Value of N
[1,0,2,0,1,0,2]-> Element of arr[0] to arr[N-1], while input each element is separated by new line.

Output :
0 0 0 1 1 2 2 -> Element after sorting based on risk severity

Example 2:
input : 10 -> Value of N
[2,1,0,2,1,0,0,1,2,0] -> Element of arr[0] to arr[N-1], while input each element is separated by a

Most of the earth is covered with undrinkable water. Oceans cover 70% of Earth’s surface
and account for about 97% of all water. The average salt content of ocean water is 35 parts
per thousand, which is about 120 million tons of salt per cubic mile of seawater.

Where does all the salt come from? It comes mostly from the land. As rain forms and falls
through the air, it accumulates carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and becomes slightly
acidic. It then flows over the land, necrociting rocks and picking up small amounts of salt
and other dissolved minerals. At this point, the water is still fresh and drinkable. Once this
water flows into the ocean, some of the dissolved minerals are removed from it by biological
processes, but the salt remains. Additional salt is contributed by underwater hydrothermal
and volcanic activity.

The idea that salt was gradually deposited in the sea by rivers was first suggested by Edmond
Halley. He proposed that the salinity of seawater could be used to determine the age of the
ocean. Based on this theory Physicist Johnny Jolly came up with an estimate of 90 million
years, which was later calculated to be 4 billion years with the use of advanced technology.
Hailey’s scheme had a flow. He failed to account for the fact that some sea salt gets
concealed in the form of mineral deposits on the seafloor.

Question: Why was John Jolly’s estimate of the age of the oceans revised?

Options
a. Because the new estimate was calculated after a substantial time
b. Because John Jolly’s estimate accounted for the salt deposited on the seafloor
c. Because the precision of advanced technology used yieldied a far greater age
d. Because John Joly did not follow Hailey’s scheme to perform calculations.

Coding
Question 1:
A party has been organised on cruise. The party is organised for a limited time(T). The number
of guests entering (E[i]) and leaving (L[i]) the party at every hour is represented as elements of
the array. The task is to find the maximum number of guests present on the cruise at any given
instance within T hours.

Example 1:
Input :
5 -> Value of T
[7,0,5,1,3] -> E[], Element of E[0] to E[N-1], where input each element is separated by new line
[1,2,1,3,4] -> L[], Element of L[0] to L[N-1], while input each element is separate by new line.

Output :
8 -> Maximum number of guests on cruise at an instance.

Explanation:
1st hour:
Entry : 7 Exit: 1
No. of guests on ship : 6
2nd hour :
222

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

Entry : 0 Exit : 2
No. of guests on ship : 6-2=4
Hour 3:
Entry: 5 Exit: 1
No. of guests on ship : 4+5-1=8
Hour 4:
Entry : 1 Exit : 3
No. of guests on ship : 8+1-3=6
Hour 5:
Entry : 3 Exit: 4
No. of guests on ship: 6+3-4=5
Hence, the maximum number of guests within 5 hours is 8.

Example 2:
Input:
4 -> Value of T
[3,5,2,0] -> E[], Element of E[0] to E[N-1], where input each element is separated by new line.
[0,2,4,4] -> L[], Element of L[0] to L[N-1], while input each element in separated by new line

Output:
6
Cruise at an instance

Explanation:
Hour 1:
Entry: 3 Exit: 0
No. of guests on ship: 3
Hour 2:
Entry : 5 Exit : 2
No. of guest on ship: 3+5-2=6
Hour 3:
Entry : 2 Exit: 4
No. of guests on ship: 6+2-4= 4
Hour 4:
Entry: 0 Exit : 4
No. of guests on ship : 4+0-4=0
Hence, the maximum number of guests within 5 hours is 6.

Question 2:
At a fun fair, a street vendor is selling different colours of balloons. He sells N number of
different colours of balloons (B[]). The task is to find the colour (odd) of the balloon which is
present odd number of times in the bunch of balloons.

Note:
If there is more than one colour which is odd in number, then the first colour in the array which is
present odd number of times is displayed. The colours of the balloons can all be either upper
case or lower case in the array. If all the inputs are even in number, display the message “All
are even”.

Example 1:
7 -> Value of N
[r,g,b,b,g,y,y] -> B[] Elements B[0] to B[N-1], where input each element is sepārated by ṉew
line.

Output :
r -> [r,g,b,b,g,y,y] -> “r” colour balloon is present odd number of times in the bunch.

Explanation:
From the input array above:
r: 1 balloon
g: 2 balloons
b: 2 balloons
y : 2 balloons

Hence , r is only the balloon which is odd in number.

Question 12: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Fisheries are an important source of food,nutrition,employment and income in India. The

sector provides livelihood to about 16 million fishers and fish farmers at the primary level
and almost twice the number along the value chain. Fish being an affordable and rich source
of animal protein, is one of the healthiest options to mitigate hunger and malnutrition. The
sector has immense potential to more than double the fishers farmers incomes,as envisioned
by the government. Commencing as a purely traditional activity, fisheries have now
transformed into a commercial enterprise. The share of the fisheries sector in the total GDP

mainly due to the boom in brackish water aquaculture. India has rich and diverse fisheries
resources ranging from deep seas to lakes, ponds, rivers and more than 10% of the global
biodiversity in terms of fish and shellfish species. The utilized and underutilized vast and
varied inland resources offer great opportunities for livelihood and development and
ushering economic prosperity.

B. Provide a means of livelihood to millions of fisherman
C. Generate employment opportunities for many
D. Earn foreign exchange through export of sea food.

Question 16:
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

According to some natural scientists and economists, one potential step to reduce emissions and
mitigate climate change would be the widespread adoption of all electric vehicles (EVs), which
can be powered by electricity generated by sunlight, wind, and water. According to the US
Environmental Protection Agency, transportation emits more greenhouse gases than any other
sector in the US, because of its dependence on fossil fuels. Thus, emissions can be dramatically
reduced by widespread adoption of EVs. For this reason, manufacturing and sales of EVs have
been increasing in recent years. BUT these sales are slow to pick up.
This slow adoption could be due to many reasons .For instance, most people who might buy an
EV already own a car, so purchasing another one may not be a wise option .Such consumer
durable replacement decisions become barriers to the adoption of new technologically
innovative products.
Some consumers become so attached to their current gasoline-powered cars, that they become
reluctant to replace them exhibiting behavior of loss aversion. There are others who may be risk
averse- uncertain of their evaluations of the expected benefits
Functionality concerns such as the charging capacity of EV batteries, or the miles-per-charge of
such vehicles could also slow down purchase decisions.

Girls have regularly outshone boys in board exams And a tectonic shift may be underway in
India's higher education as well-women's gross enrolment ratio is now higher than that of men.

Coding
Question - 1:
A supermarket maintains a pricing format for all its products. A value N is printed on each
product. When the scanner reads the value N on the item, the product of all the digits in the
value N is the price of the item. The task here is to design the software such that given the code
of any item N the product (multiplication) of all the digits of value should be computed(price).

Example 1:
Input :
5244 -> Value of N

Output :
160 -> Price

Explanation:
From the input above
Product of the digits 5,2,4,4
5*2*4*4= 160
Hence, output is 160.

Solution in C++:

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

int main()
{
string s; cin>>s;
int p=1;
for(auto i:s) p*=(i-'0');
cout<<p;
}

269

Solution in Python:

n=input()
p=1
for i in n:
p*=int(i)
print(p)

Solution in Java:

import java.util.*;
class Solution
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
int n=sc.nextInt();
int res=1;

while(n>0)
{
res=res*(n%10);
n=n/10;
}
System.out.println(res);
}
}

Question 2:

A high- profile secret agency wants to handle all the messages sent and received in ciphers.
They need to build a program/ software where every mail sent or received in the organization
will be encrypted using some secret codes. One of formats used can be as follows:

270

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

Cipher f g h i j k l m n

Actual j k l m n o p q r

Cipher o p q r s t u v w

Actual s t u v w x y z

Cipher x y z a b c d e

The task is to encrypt the given string(str1) as per the ciphers given in the format above.

Note : String cannot have any special characters, space, number or any uppercase latter.

Example 1:
Input :
word -> value of str1

Output:
btwi -> after changing the character with the ciphers

w o r d
| | | |
b t w i
Hence the output if btwi

Example 2:

Question 22:

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was incorporated in May 1927. Its goal
was to achieve outstanding achievements in the different branches of film production, thus
improving the quality of all aspects of motion picture production.

The art director of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) Studios Cedric Gibbons sketched the
iconic statuette of the award. It was the figure of a knight holding a sword standing on a base
wrapped with a film reel. Los Angeles sculptor George Stanley realised this design in three
dimensions.

The statuette is thirteen and a half inches tall and weighs right and a half pounds. The design
of the statuette has never changed but the size of the base was changed in 1945 and remains
the same since then.

292

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

Every January, these golden statuette are hand-cast in bronze and then electroplated with 24
karat gold in Brooklyn. The first of the Academy Awards was given away on 16th May
1929. SInce then, over five thousand statuettes have been presented.

Officially named the Academy Award of Merit, the statuette is better known by its
nickname, Oscar. Sources have it that the Academy librarian and later executive director
Margaret Herrick said the statuette resembled her Uncle Oscar. Thereafter, the Academy
staff began referring to it as Oscar and the name stuck!

Which of the following best describes the purpose of incorporating the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences?

a. To honour outstanding achievements in the different branches of film production

b. To give away more than three thousand Academy Awards of Merit statuettes
c. To encourage art studies in Brooklyn to make bronze statuettes and electroplate them
in 24-karat gold
d. To encourage art directors and sculptors to design statuettes for awards

Answer - A

Question 23:

Which of the following statements about the Academy Awards statuette is TRUE?

Question 25:

A decade’s worth of telescope observations of the sun has revealed a startling mystery:
Gamma rays, the highest frequency waves of light, radiate from our nearest star seven times
more abundantly than expected. Stranger still, despite this extreme excess of gamma rays
overall, the narrow bandwidth of frequencies is curiously absent.

The surplus light, the gap in the spectrum, and other surprises about the solar gamma-ray
signal potentially point to unknown features of the sun’s magnetic field, or more exotic
physics. “It’s amazing that we were so spectacularly wrong about something we should
understand really well: the sun,” said Brian Fields, a particle astrophysicist at the University
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

The unexpected signal has emerged in data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a
NASA observatory that scans the sky from its outpost in low-Earth orbit. As more Fermi
data have accrued, revealing the spectrum of gamma rays coming from the sun in ever-
greater detail, the puzzles have only proliferated. “We just kept finding surprising things,”
said Annika Peter of Ohio State University, a co-author of a recent white paper summarizing
several years of findings about the solar gamma-ray signal. “It’s definitely the most
surprising thing I’ve ever worked on.”

Not only is the gamma-ray signal far stronger than a decades-old theory predicts; it also
extends to much higher frequencies than predicted, and it inexplicably varies across the face
294

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

of the sun and throughout the 11-year solar cycle. Then there’s the gap, which researchers
call a “dip” — a lack of gamma rays with frequencies around 10 trillion trillion hertz. “The
dip just defies all logic,” said Tim Linden, a particle astrophysicist at Ohio State who helped
analyze the signal. Fields, who wasn’t involved in the work, said, “They’ve done a great job
with the data, and the story it tells is really kind of amazing.”

An international round table conference will be held in india. Presidents from all over the world
representing their respective countries will be attending the conference. The task is to find the
possible number of ways(P) to make the N members sit around the circular table such that.
The president and prime minister of India will always sit next to each other.

Example 1:
Input :
4 -> Value of N(No. of members)

Output :
12 -> Possible ways of seating the members

Explanation:
2 members should always be next to each other.
So, 2 members can be in 2!ways
Rest of the members can be arranged in (4-1)! ways.(1 is subtracted because the previously
selected two members will be considered as single members now).
So total possible ways 4 members can be seated around the circular table 2*6= 12.
Hence, output is 12.

Example 2:
Input:
10 -> Value of N(No. of members)

Output :
725760 -> Possible ways of seating the members

Explanation:
2 members should always be next to each other.
So, 2 members can be in 2! ways
Rest of the members can be arranged in (10-1)! Ways. (1 is subtracted because the previously
selected two members will be considered as a single member now).
So, total possible ways 10 members can be seated around a round table is
2*362880 = 725760 ways.
Hence, output is 725760.

NOTE: After selecting your response to the sub question, you must click “SAVE AND
NEXT” button to move to the next sub question.

Information Processing Theory is cognitive theory that focuses on how the information is
encoded into our memory. The theory describes how our brains filter information, from what
we’re paying attention to in the present moment, to what gets stored in our short-term or
working memory and ultimately into our long-term memory.
The premise of Information Processing Theory is that creating a long-term memory is
something that happens in stages;first we perceive something through our sensory memory,
which is everything we can see, hear, feel or taste in a given moment; our short-term
memory is what we use to remember things for very short periods, like a phone number; and
long-term memory is stored permanently in our brains.
Developed by American psychologists including Goerge Miller in the 1950s, Information
Processing Theory has in recent years compared the human brain to a computer. The ‘input’
341

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

is the information we give to the computer- or to our brains- while the CPU is likened to our
short-term memory, and the hard-drive is our long-term memory.
Our cognitive processes filter information, deciding what is important enough to ‘save’ from
our sensory memory to our short-term memory, and ultimately to encode into our long-term
memory, imagining, problem-solving, our sense of judgement, and planning.

Which of the following about the human brain is TRUE?

Options:
a. It manages the input and shifts what it wants to store.
b. It carefully stores all the materials it is exposed to.
c. All human brains store the same information in the same way.
d. It produces the input in the same format when asked to.

Question 1:
Ab ‘N’ number of customers are waiting at a restaurant that is recently opened. After every ‘M’
minutes , a new customer arrives at the restaurant. Due to the huge crowd, customers have to
wait for their table at the restaurant. Only one customer is allowed at a time. The manager at the
reception desk asks each customer to wait for ‘X‘ minutes to get their table. The task is to
calculate the duration (in minutes) the last customer arrived needs to wait.

Example 1:
5 Value of N
3 Value of M
10 Value of X

Output :
28

Explanation:

Customers Customer 1 Customer 2 Customer 3 Customer 4 Customer 5

Arrival time 0 3 6 9 12

Duration 10 20 30 40
(min)
customer can
enter

Waiting time 0 7 14 21 28

The lasṭ customer arrives at the restauraṉt at the 12th minute, and he gets a table at 40
minutes. So, the total duration the last customer waited to get a table is 40-12=28 minutes.
Hence, the output is 28.

Example 2:
Input :
3 Value of N
5 Value of M
352

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

5 Value of X

Output :
0

Explanation:

Customers Customer 1 Customer 2 Customer 3

Arrival time 0 5 10

Duration(min) 0 5 10
customer can enter

Waiting time 0 0 0

The last customer arrives at the restaurant at the 10th minute, and he gets a table after 10
minutes. So, the total duration the last customer waited to get a table is 10-10=0. I.e. no need to
wait.
Hence , the output is 0.

Constraints:
0<N<=50
0<M<=60
0<X<=60

Question 2:
A furnishing company is manufacturing a new collection of curtains. The curtains are of two
colors aqua(a) and black (b). The curtains color is represented as a string(str) consisting of a’s
and b’s of length N. Then, they are packed (substring) into L number of curtains in each box.
The box with the maximum number of ‘aqua’ (a) color curtains is labeled. The task here is to
find the number of ‘aqua’ color curtains in the labeled box.
Note :
If ‘L’ is not a multiple of N, the remaining number of curtains should be considered as a
substring too. In simple words, after dividing the curtains in sets of ‘L’, any curtains left will be
another set(refer example 1)

Example 1:
Input :
bbbaaababa -> Value of str
3 -> Value of L

Output:
3 -> Maximum number of a’s

Explanation:
From the input given above.
Dividing the string into sets of 3 characters each
Set 1: {b,b,b}
Set 2: {a,a,a}
Set 3: {b,a,b}
Set 4: {a} -> leftover characters also as taken as another set
Among all the sets, Set 2 has more number of a’s. The number of a’s in set 2 is 3.

Social Networking sites allow users to connect to each other- the users have to first create
their personal information profiles before they can invite their friends or colleagues to access
their profiles and have instant message exchanges. These personal profiles can compromise
information, photograph and audio/video files. In an age of increasingly sophisticated
technology, large volumes of online personal content pose a big threat to user’s privacy.
With the flooding of digital cameras and smartphones that have advanced applications,
uploading of personal data, photos and Videos on the web has become child’s play. Privacy
has thus become a concern with many as multimedia applications are capable of making
public so much personal information without consent or approval.

According to Forrester Research, 75% of internet surfers use social networks. The official
site of facebook claims that the network added more than 210 crore subscribers in just one
year, which is almost the combined population of UK (63 crore) France (65 crore) and
Germany (82 crore). It may sound bizarre but it is true that every minute of the day, 40200
tweets are sent, 50 hours of video are uploaded to youTube and 50,000 apps are downloaded
from the App store, and around 3 lakh dollars are spent by consumers on online shopping.
Many users post highly personal details of their lives on social networks. It includes their
real names, addresses, family details, contact numbers, availability, likes and dislikes,
hobbies and relationships. Users are naive if they believe their postings on social media are
private and safe between them and their recipients. In reality once information is posted to
social networks, the user loses their ownership. It will not be offline again and remain for
millions of eyes. If this is hard to believe, try and Google yourself, Chances are that you will
get the shock of your life to see details you had never, ever wanted to go public.

The old civilisation of India was a concrete unity of man side developments in art,
architecture, literature, religion, morales and science, so far as it was understood in those
days. But the most important achievement of Indian thought was philosophy. It was regarded
as the goal of all the highest practical and theoretical activities, and it indicated the point of
unity amidst all the apparent diversities which the complex growth culture over a vast area
inhabited by different peoples produced.
It is not in the history of foreign invasions, in the rise of independent kingdoms at different
times, in the empires of this or that great monarch that the unity of India is to be sought. It
is essentially one of the spiritual aspirations and obedience to the law of the spirit, which
were regarded as superior to everything else, and it has outlived all the political changes

At the time when the ocean is threatened by climate change and pollution, coastlines are
ending and entire species of marine life are at risk of extinction, the role of oceanographers
has become more important than it ever was.

One of the most critical branches of oceanography today is biological oceanography. It is the
study of ocean’s plants and animals and their interactions with the marine environment. But
oceanography is not just study and research. It is also about using that information to help
379

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

leaders make smart choices about policies that affect ocean health. Lessons learned through
oceanography affect the ways humans use the sea for transportation, food, energy, water and
much more.

Today oceanographers are exploring a range of subjects as wide as the ocean itself.

For example, fishermen with the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance (NAMA) are working
with oceanographers to better understand how pollutants are reducing fish populations and
posing health risks to consumers of the fish.

Other teams are investigating how melting sea ice is changing the feed migration patterns of
whales that populate the ocean’s coldest region.

Visible impact of climate change on ocean includes all of the following EXCEPT_______

Options:
a. Melting of sea ice
b. Extinction of marine life
c. Studies in biological oceanography
d. Erosion of coastlines

Question 1:
An intelligence agency has received reports about some threats. The reports consist of numbers
in a mysterious method. There is a number “N” and another number “R”. Those numbers are
studied thoroughly and it is concluded that all digits of the number ‘N’ are summed up and this
action is performed ‘R’ number of times. The resultant is also a single digit that is yet to be
deciphered. The task here is to find the single-digit sum of the given number ‘N’ by repeating the
action ‘R’ number of times.
If the value of ‘R’ is 0, print the output as ‘0’.

403

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

Example 1:
Input :
99 -> Value of N
3 -> Value of R

Output :
9 -> Possible ways to fill the cistern.

Explanation:
Here, the number N=99
1. Sum of the digits N: 9+9 = 18
2. Repeat step 2 ‘R’ times i.e. 3 tims (9+9)+(9+9)+(9+9) = 18+18+18 =54
3. Add digits of 54 as we need a single digit 5+4

Hence , the output is 9.

Example 2:
Input :
1234 -> Value of N
2 -> Value of R

Output :
2 -> Possible ways to fill the cistern

Explanation:
Here, the number N=1234
1. Sum of the digits of N: 1+2+3+4 =10
2. Repeat step 2 ‘R’ times i.e. 2 times (1+2+3+4)+(1+2+3+4)= 10+10=20
3. Add digits of 20 as we need a single digit. 2+0=2
Hence, the output is 2.

Constraints:
0<N<=1000
0<=R<=50

Question 2:
There are ‘N’ number of houses in a village. Each house requires a voltage ‘V’ volts of electricity
to power up their home appliances. In this context, the houses are arranged in the form of a
matrix (row* columns) where ‘N’ is the order of the matrix. The amount of voltage supplied to
each house is calculated as current(i)*voltage(r) where ‘i’ is the row number and ‘r’ is the column
number. When the voltage supplied to the house (i*r) matches the value ‘V’, the appliances in
the house can work. The task here is to find the number of houses whose voltage value(i*r) is
the same as ‘V’. If none of the house’s value matches display a message “NO POWER”.

Example 1:
Input :
5 Value of N i.e. rows, columns=5
15 Value of V

Output :
2 number of houses whose i*r value matches

Explanation:
From the inputs given above
i=5, r=5
The below table represents values (i*r)

407

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

i/j 1 2 3 4 5

3 3 6 9 12 15

4 4 8 12 16 20

5 5 10 15 20 25

From the table above, we can deduce that the value v=15 occurs only in the houses(i,r)
(3,5) (5,3)
Hence, the output is 2.

Example 2:
Input :
3 Value of N i.e. rows=3, columns=3
10 Value of V

Output :
NO POWER number of houses where i*r value matches V

Explanation:
From the inputs given above
i=3 r=3
The below table represents values (i*r)

Dr. Jane Goodall’s journey to Gombe many years ago to study wild chimpanzees was not
simple; it was the result of a lot of hard work and dedication.

Her interest in animals, especially chimpanzees, was further fuelled by Louis Leakey, a
Paleoanthropologist, who she met quite accidentally while holidaying in Nairobi. Leaky and
his wife were studying human fossil fuels. When Leaky learnt about Jane’s extraordinary
love for animals, especially chimpanzees , he was once keen to associate her with his work in
the wild. And, when he learnt that Jane had no formal training, he arranged to send her to
London to study primates. After completing her study Goodall came back and worked in a
wild where she set up to observe chimpanzee behaviour. She made interesting observations.
One day she saw a chimp break off a twig, strip its bark and insert it inside it in a termite
mound. When he withdrew the twig, it was covered with delicious termites which were
readily licked. She also observed chimpanzees hunting, killing and even eating small colobus
monkeys.

In 1960, Jane reported chimpanzees using the blades of grass to fish out ants between the
holes in the trunks of trees and dirt on the ground. Suddenly what had so far been considered
a defining trait of humans only-- tool use and creation-- seemed to be challenged. Leaky,
who had often faced naysayers, quipped excitedly in response, “ Now we must redefine tool,
redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans”.

Suddenly, what had so far been considered - “A defining traits of humans only- tool used
and creation --was challenged

oppressed and no nation is left behind. When some nations are not represented, it creates
inequality which may stir violence. World peace can also be achieved by raising awareness
of the importance of world peace. Nations can create awareness among their citizens by
teaching them about the benefits that they will get when they have peaceful coexistence with
other nations.

Coding
Question 1:
Particulate matters are the biggest contributors to Delhi pollution. The main reason behind the
increase in the concentration of PMs include vehicle emission by applying Odd Even concept for
all types of vehicles. The vehicles with the odd last digit in the registration number will be
allowed on roads on odd dates and those with even last digit will on even dates.
Given an integer array a[], contains the last digit of the registration number of N vehicles
traveling on date D(a positive integer). The task is to calculate the total fine collected by the
traffic police department from the vehicles violating the rules.
Note : For violating the rule, vehicles would be fined as X Rs.

Example 1:
Input :
4 -> Value of N
{5,2,3,7} -> a[], Elements a[0] to a[N-1], during input each element is separated by a new line
12 -> Value of D, i.e. date
200 -> Value of x i.e. fine

Output :
600 -> total fine collected

Explanation:
Date D=12 means , only an even number of vehicles are allowed.
Find will be collected from 5,3 and 7 with an amount of 200 each.
Hence, the output = 600.

Example 2:
Input :
5 -> Value of N
{2,5,1,6,8} -> a[], elements a[0] to a[N-1], during input each element is separated by new line
3 -> Value of D i.e. date
448

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

300 -> Value of X i.e. fine

Output :
900 -> total fine collected

Explanation:
Date D=3 means only odd number vehicles with are allowed.
Find will be collected from 2,6 and 8 with an amount of 300 each.
Hence, the output = 900

Constraints:
0<N<=100
1<=a[i]<=9
1<=D <=30
100<=x<=5000

The input format for testing

The candidate has to write the code to accept 4 input(s).
First input - Accept for N(Positive integer) values (a[]), where each value is separated by a new
line.
Third input - Accept value for D(Positive integer)
Fourth input - Accept value for X(Positive integer )

The output format for testing

The output should be a positive integer number (Check the output in Example 1, Example e) if
no fine is collected then print ”0”.

Solution in Java :
import java.util.*;
class Solution
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
int n = sc.nextInt ();
int arr[] = new int[n];

449

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
arr[i] = sc.nextInt ();
int d = sc.nextInt ();
int x = sc.nextInt ();
int countEven = 0, countOdd = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)

{
if (arr[i] % 2 == 0)
countEven++;
else
countOdd++;
}

if (d % 2 != 0)
{
if (countEven == 0)
System.out.println ("0");
else
System.out.println (countEven * x);
}
else
{
if (countOdd == 0)
System.out.println ("0");
else
System.out.println (countOdd * x);
}
}
}

Question 2:
In a puzzle game, there are five blocks. Each block is assigned with some repeating numbers

450

Get PrepInsta Prime here - https://bit.ly/PI-Get-Prime

Block 1

1 -------------> 2-----------------> 3--------------> 4---------------> 5

9 ←---------- 8 ←--------------- 7←------------ 6←------------
10 ---------------> 11-------------> 12--------------> 13
So on

The number 1 starts from block-1,2 on block-2,3 on block -3, 4 on block-4 and 5 on block-5.
Again 6 on block-4 and so on.
Here we observe a pattern, the numbers 10,8 and 2 are on block-2 , 3,7 and 11 on the block 3
and so on.

Given a positive integer N. The task is to find the correct block to which the number assigned.

Example 1:
Input :
3 ---> Value of N

Output :
3 -> Block number

Example 2:
Input :
16 ---> Value of N

Output :
2 ---> Block number

The input format for testing

The candidate has to write the code to accept one input
First input - Accept value for number of N (Positive integer number)

The output format for testing

The output should be a positive integer (Check the output in Example 1, Example 2)

Solution in Java:
import java.util.*;
class Solution
