Directions (3-6): Study the following passage and answer the questions based on the given statements:
Bumblebees exposed to the insecticide imidacloprid tend to contribute less to the welfare of their colony than untreated bees, according to a report in Science today. Inside their nests, bees chronically eating this common pesticide were less active, didn’t care for larvae as much or pitch in on maintaining the nest, and had fewer social interactions, the researchers found.
“It’s very fascinating and gives us a much greater understanding of the mechanism behind the patterns that we’ve seen of reduced [bee] colony growth and reproduction,” says biologist MajRundlof of Lund University in Sweden who was not involved in the research.
Imidacloprid is one of a class of neonicotinoid neurotoxic insecticides that were developed during the 1980s and 1990s and are now “absolutely pervasive globally,” says biologist James Crall, a postdoc in the lab of Benjamin de Bivort at Harvard University, who led the research. In an agricultural context, neonicotinoids are most commonly applied to seeds in high concentrations, so that they pervade and protect the whole plant, explains Crall. “The problem with that is that it also gets into nectar and pollen on which bees and other beneficial insects feed,” he says.
3) Which of the following is an inference which can be made from the facts stated in the above paragraph?
a) Neonicotinoid is a kind of neurotoxic that triggers the crop production and reproduction of Bumblebees in a positive scale.
b) Imidacloprid alters the pattern of Bumblebees and it leads to less colony growth.
c) Bumblebees exposed to Imidacloprid are more active than untreated bees.
d) Reduction in the crop production due to use of Imidacloprid.
e) None of these
4) Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the facts stated in the above paragraph?
a) Now honeyproduction will never face a crisis like the crisis of 1980s due to the use of Imidacloprid.
b) Pesticide Exposure Alters Bumblebees’ Behaviour in Their Nests.
c) Neonicotinoids are most commonly applied to seeds in high concentrations, so that they pervade and protect the whole plant.
d) Maize growers are no more interested in the production of maize.
e) None of these
5) What we can say about the following statement?
“It’s very fascinating and gives us a much greater understanding of the mechanism behind the patterns that we’ve seen of reduced (bee) colony growth and reproduction”
a) Really impressive and the technology has proven ahead of lives
b) Definitely false and it is not necessary to find the mechanism behind bee colony by sparing the lives
c) Probably true
d) The technology driven changes are much more needed to reduce the growth of bee colonies.
e) Nothing can be said
6) Which of the following could be the course of actiondrawn from the facts stated in the above paragraph?
a) Govt should increase the subsidy on cash crops including apiculture
b) The Studies should be carried out to examine how nicotinoids might positively induce the growth of crops.
c) Banning the use of certain neonicotinoids, including imidacloprid, on all outdoor crops.
d) Govt should plan to import more crops from abroad rather than sparing the ecosystem.
e) None of these

b) 2500
c) 3000
d) 2457
e) 1250
10) What will be the resultant of the following code given below
Answers:
Directions (1-2):

Directions (7-10):
7) Answer: b)
Clearly, option B represents ‘208’ in given code language as follow:
8) Answer: d)
We have:
Clearly, required sum of digit = (2 + 0 + 8 + 6) = 16.
9) Answer: c)
10) Answer: d)
