Q:

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :One of the many young scientists who chose to throw in their lot with Rutherford was an Oxford physical chemist, Frederick Soddy.
S6:We now know that Gamma rays are a particularly fierce form of X-rays.
P:His association with Rutherford lasted only two years, but that was long enough to change the whole face of physics.
Q:He was just 23.
R:They found that thorium changed into a new element, thorium X, and in the process gave off what was apparently a gas and at the same time a third type of ray, which they named after the Greek letter ‘Gamma’.
S:When he teamed up with Rutherford,they investigated thorium which, as Marie Curie had shown, was radioactive.

The proper sequence should be 

A) P Q S R B) Q P S R
C) Q P R S D) Q S R P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) P Q S R

Explanation:

The starting statement talked about the young scientist Frederick Soddy. So the next statement would be talking about his contribution with Rutherford and how long the association lasted. So, the continuing statement would be P. So, P being the first statement eliminates all other options. Thus, the correct sequence is PQSR.

Q:

In the following question, a passage is given which describes a situation. From the given options, mark the correct inference that can be drawn from the passage. If none of the inferences follow, mark option 5, “None of these” as the answer.
In nearly all human populations a majority of individuals can taste the artificially synthesized chemical phenylthiocarbonide (PTC). However, the percentage varies dramatically-- from as low as 60% in India to as high as 95% in Africa. That this polymorphism is observed in non- human primates as well indicates a long evolutionary history which, although obviously not acting on PTC, might reflect evolutionary selection for taste discrimination of other, more significant bitter substances, such as certain toxic plants.

A) Human beings show the same taste profile as primates. B) Humans prefers substances that are naturally sweet.
C) Only a minority of the human population have an indeterminant taste profile. D) A majority of the human population have an indeterminant taste profile.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Only a minority of the human population have an indeterminant taste profile.

Explanation:

The passage clearly states that several characteristics are shared between humans and primates with respect to their taste profiles. It also states that it is because of evolution. But to infer that both species share the same profile would be incorrect making option a incorrect. The passage is all about the human ability to discern different tastes. One cannot infer about the likability of certain tastes from the given passage making option 2 incorrect. In the first sentence itself the passage talks about how majority of the human population can taste a certain artificial flavour. Thus, it can be inferred that majority of the human population have a determinant taste profile making the opposite as stated in option 3 also correct. This also makes option 4 incorrect.
