Solution
A certain radioisotope of \(^{235}_{92}U\) emits four alpha particles and three beta particles. The mass number and the atomic number of the resulting elements respectively are
A
219 and 87
B
84 and 223
C
223 and 87
D
219 and 81
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(^{235}_{92}U\) \(\to\) 4\((^{4}_{2}\alpha)\) + 3\((^{0}_{-1}e)\) + \(^{b}_{a}y\)
a + (4 + 2) + (3x - 1) = 92 \(\Rightarrow\) a = 87
b + (4 x 4) + (3 x 0) = 235 \(\Rightarrow\) b = 219
\(^{b}_{a}Y\) = \(^{219}_{87}Y\)

Solution
From the way the writer describes the typical condition of the poor in developing countries, one could conclude that
A
Rural poverty is a disease
B
The poor have no hope
C
Rural poverty is caused by rich
D
The problems of the poor are temporary
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
From the passage, one could conclude that the poor have no hope. The passage describes the typical condition of the poor in developing countries as one of limited work opportunities, under-employment or unemployment, low productivity, lack of access to land, mass migration to cities and ultimately a lack of hope in both rural and urban areas. The passage emphasises the dire situation faced by the poor and how they often have no prospects for improving their circumstances and that their chances of finding work are slim. This suggests a sense of hopelessness among the poor and this makes option B ("The poor have no hope") the most fitting conclusion based on the information provided.

A
Take the million figure literally
B
Appreciate numerous workplaces
C
Realize that the million figure is mere exaggeration
D
Appreciate the size of the work force
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The phrase “literally millions of workplaces” is used to emphasise the huge number of jobs needed in developing countries. The writer is stressing the scale and urgency of the problem. He wants the reader to understand that a very large number of workplaces are required, not necessarily to count an exact million. So, the phrase helps the reader appreciate how many workplaces are needed.

Solution
From the passage, it is obvious that women participate in politics
A
On equal basis with men
B
As leaders of men
C
To a limited extent
D
As chiefs and regents
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage explicitly mentions that "the degree of women participation in politics was yet much limited when compared to that of men." This statement indicates that, during the pre-colonial era, women's involvement in politics was not on an equal basis with men. The language used in the passage suggests a restricted or limited extent of women's participation in comparison to men. Therefore, option C, "To a limited extent," accurately reflects the information provided in the passage regarding the level of women's participation in politics during that historical period.
