Q11. Last week, a space scientist named
Abel Mendez observed a strange signal. He hasn’t observed anything like this in
his entire life. But this mysterious space signal is probably not from Aliens
stated the young scientist.

Which of the following could be the
most likely reason why Abel dismissed the possibility of the signal being sent
from Aliens?

(i)
It appeared only when Mendez and his colleagues had their telescope pointed
at a single star - an unassuming red dwarf called Ross 128 just 11 light-years
away.

(ii) Mendez's signal was initially
detected during a campaign to observe nearby red dwarfs. Several of these stars
are thought to be candidates to host planets that may be hospitable to life.

(iii) Such a signal could also be a
result of an interaction between the star and an orbiting planet. In addition,
it's possible that the signal is coming from another space phenomenon that the
astronomers haven't identified yet.

Only (iii)

Only (ii)

Only (i)

Both (i) and (iii)

None of these

Solution:

In this question, we have to choose an option
which negates the possibility of the signal being sent from aliens.

Option (i) does not negate the possibility of
the signal being an alien signal, it simply mentions an additional fact which
specifies the origin of the space signal.

Option (ii) supports the possibility of the
signal being sent from aliens by pointing out that these types of dwarf stars
considered as being hospitable to the alien life.

Option (iii) negates the possibility of the
signal being sent from aliens by pointing out the other possibilities about the
origin of the signal.

Q12. Statement: D Roopa, the Karnataka police officer whose report to the media
had alleged that AIADMK chief VK Sasikala is enjoying VIP facilities in a
Bengaluru prison, was transferred today. So was her boss HN Satyanarayana Rao,
the state's Director General of Prisons, whom she had accused of accepting a
bribe for favours to Ms Sasikala.

Which of the following is the most likely
reason that led to the transfer of D Roopa?

(i) Ms Roopa had alleged that Ms Sasikala had
been given an exclusive kitchen and other facilities after she paid a bribe of
about Rs. 2 crore.

(ii) The action was taken against Ms Roopa for
violating her service rules by going to the media.

(iii) Mr Rao, transferred just days before his
retirement, had called her allegations "wild and baseless" and
insisted that no special treatment was being given to Ms Sasikala.

Abdul Karim Telgi, the kingpin of a multi-crore stamp paper fraud, was another
jail inmate getting special benefits.

Only (i)

Only (ii)

Only (iii)

Only (iv)

None of these

Solution:

In this question, we have to choose an option
which mentions the most likely reason for the transfer of D Roopa.

Option (i) is not a correct choice as one
cannot be transferred on the grounds of whistle blowing.

Option (ii) is correct as it mentions that she
breached the service rules by going to media which could very well be the
reason for her transfer.

Option (iii) is not a correct choice as Mr Rao
denying the allegations of Ms Roopa cannot be the reason for her transfer.

Option (iv) is not a correct choice as one
cannot be transferred on the grounds of whistle blowing.
