Population explosion, malnutrition and ill health are the problems that modern scientists examine for solutions. The agriculture scientists are required to concentrate not only on large production, but also more on improved varieties and protein-rich foods to ward off the ills of malnutrition. The medical scientists responsibilities is not limited to the manufacture of drugs to cure diseases, they must invent medicines to rpotzumanity from epidemics. UoJess important is the area of war and weapons.

The large scale devastation in Japan by the atom bomb is a stigma on the lair name of scientist. The modem scientist must make a point not to help in the proliferation of atomic weapons. They should rather devote their energies to the peaceful uses of atomic energy for the emancipation of humanity from hunger and diseases. They must realise that the benefit of their researches and inventions should reach the hands of all, the rich and poor a like.

What does the expression 'malnutrition' used in the passage mean?

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions. Anthropologists have placed together with the little they know about the history of left-handednessand right -hand handedness from indirect evidence. Though early men and women did not leave a written record,they did leave tool bones and pictures. Stone Age hand axes and hatches made from stone that was carefullychipped away made from sharp cutting edges. In some, the pattern of chipping shows that these tools andweapons were made by right-handed people, designed to fit comfortably into a right hand. Other Stone Ageimplements were made by or for the left-hander. Prehistoric pictures, painted on walls of caves, provided furtherclues to the handedness of ancient people. A right-hander finds it easier to draw faces of people and animalsfacing towards the left whereas a left-hander finds it easier to draw faces towards the right. Both kinds of faceshave been found in ancient paintings. On the whole, the evidence seems to indicate that prehistoric people wereeither ambidextrous or about equally likely to be left or right-handed. But in the Bronze Age, the picture changed.The tools and weapons found from that Period are mostly made for right-handed use. The predominance of right-handedness among humans today had apparently already been established.

What is the main idea conveyed through the passage ?

Choose an option to replace the phrase given in bold. The bank has hired a consultant who will look into any issues which arise during the merger.

Read the following passage and answer questions 114 to 116 based on it. I do not wish to cast aspersions on the corporate takeover. On the contrary, it is a key facilitator of creative destruction and doubtless the most effective remaining means by which shareholder voices can mold a corporation. But while the change in management is often necessary, you cannot effectively run a corporation with differing authoritative voices espousing opposing corporation goals. It has to be one or the other. If the boards are riven with conflicting interests, corporate governance will suffer. If directors cannot agree with the CEO's strategy, they should replace him. Corporate dissonance, of course, is unavoidable in periods of transition. But it is not a value to be pursued for its own sake. A cacophony produces only red ink. What according to the author facilitates creative destruction?

Direction:Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions: You might think you’ve experienced VR, and you might have been pretty impressed. Particularly, if you’re a gamer, there are some great experiences to be had out there(or rather, in there)today. But over the next few year, in VR as in all fields of technology, we're going to see things that make what is cutting-edge today look like space invaders. And although the games will be amazing, the effects of this transformation will be far broader, touching on our work, education, and social lives. Today's most popular VR applications involve taking total control of user's sense (sight and hearing, particularly) to create a totally immersive experience that places the user in a fully virtual environment that feels pretty realistic. Climb up something high and look down, and you're likely to get a sense of vertigo. If you see an object moving quickly towards your head, you'll feel an urge to duck out of the way. Very soon, VR creators will extend this sensory hijacking to our other facilities-for example, touch and smell to deepen that sense of immersion. At the same time, the devices we use to visit these virtual worlds will become cheaper and lighter, removing the friction that can currently be a barrier. I believe Extended Reality (XR)-a term that covers Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed reality (MR)-will be one of the most transformative tech trends of the next five years. It will be enabled and augmented by other tech trends, including super-fast networking, that will let us experience VR as a cloud service just like we currently consume music and movies. And Artificial Intelligence (AI) will provide us with more personalised virtual worlds to explore, even giving us realistic virtual characters to share our experiences with.

The passage states all the following about VR application expert.
