Q.22 In the first floor of a shopping mall, there are 150 electric lights numbered from 1 to 150.
Each light has its own switch and is currently switched off. Suppose a man switch on all the
lights and then switch off every second light. Then, for every third light, he off each light which
in the state of on and turn on each light which in the state of off. He follows the same pattern for
every fourth light, every fifth light, and so on up to every 150th light. Which numbered lights
will be in the state of on when the trials are complete?
1) Square numbers                          
2) Prime numbers                          
3) Odd numbers                          
4) Even numbers                          
Correct Option : 1
Solution : At first the man switch on every light. (that is from 1 to 150); i.e., he changes all the
switches whose numbers are the multiples of one.

Let it be his first trial. 

Then, he switch off every second light. i.e, 2, 4, 6, 8,...,148,150 numbered lights are getting off;
i.e, he changes all the switches whose numbers are the multiples of two. 

Let it be his 2nd trial. 

And, then he changes the status of every 3rd light.(i.e, 3, 6, 9, 12,...,147, 150); i.e, he changes all
the switches whose numbers are the multiples of three. 

Let it be his 3rd trial. 

Proceeding like this, Finally, he changes the status of 150th light. i.e, he changes all the switches
whose numbers are the multiples of 150. This is his 150th trial. 
In this situation it is easy to see that every light whose number is a perfect square will be on at
the end of the procedure, and all other lights will be off. 
For example the switch of the 24th light will be touched by the man in his 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th,
8th, 12th and 24th trails. (Note that, these are the factors of 24.) 
Therefore, he changes the status of the 24th light in his trails whose numbers are the factors of
24. 
i.e, by the trail numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. 
i.e, 8 trails (an even number) and this means the lights will be in on/off/on/off/on/off/on/off. 
Now, all the light numbers with an even number of factors will end up in off. (Here, 24th light -
even number of trials - end up with off). 
Remember the fact that, "all the perfect squares have an odd number of factors and all numbers
except perfect squares have an even number of factors when we include 1 and the number
itself".
For a perfect square say 36, we have the factors 1,2,3,4,6,9,12, an odd number(7) and the light
will be on/off/on/off/on/off/on. (Here, 36th light - odd number of trials - end up with on). 

Hence, we conclude that all the lights whose numbers are perfect squares will be on at the
completion of the trials.

passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.

Fire fighters are often asked to speak to school and community groups about the importance of
fire safety, particularly fire prevention and detection. Because smoke detectors reduce the risk
of dying in a fire by half, fire fighters often provide audiences with information on how to install
these protective devices in their homes. Specifically, they tell them these things: A smoke
detector should be placed on each floor of a home. While sleeping, people are in particular
danger of an emergent fire, and there must be a detector outside each sleeping area. A good site
for a detector would be a hallway that runs between living spaces and bedrooms. Because of the
dead-air space that might be missed by turbulent hot air bouncing around above a fire, smoke
detectors should be installed either on the ceiling at least four inches from the nearest wall, or
high on a wall at least four, but no further than twelve, inches from the ceiling.

Detectors should not be mounted near windows, exterior doors, or other places where drafts
might direct the smoke away from the unit. Nor should they be placed in kitchens and garages,
where cooking and gas fumes are likely to cause false alarms. " 
Q.46 A smoke detector should NOT be installed near a window because
1) outside noises may muffle the sound of the detector                          
2) a draft may pull smoke away from the detector                          
3) a draft may create dead-air space

Book clubs are a great way to meet new friends or keep in touch with old ones, while keeping up
on your reading and participating in lively and intellectually stimulating discussions. If you’re
interested in starting a book club, you should consider the following options and
recommendations.

The first thing you’ll need are members. Before recruiting, think carefully about how many
people you want to participate and also what the club’s focus will be. For example, some book
clubs focus exclusively on fiction, others read nonfiction. Some are even more specific, focusing
only on a particular genre such as mysteries, science fiction, or romance. Others have a more
flexible and open focus. All of these possibilities can make for a great club, but it is important to
decide on a focus at the outset so the guidelines will be clear to the group and prospective
member.

After setting the basic parameters, recruitment can begin. Notify friends and family, advertise in
the local newspaper, and hang flyers on bulletin boards in local stores, colleges, libraries, and
bookstores. When enough people express interest, schedule a kick-off meeting during which
decisions will be made about specific guidelines that will ensure the club runs smoothly. This
meeting will need to establish where the group will meet (rotating homes or a public venue such
as a library or coffee shop); how often the group will meet, and on what day of the week and at
what time; how long the meetings will be; how books will be chosen and by whom; who will
lead the group (if anyone); and whether refreshments will be served and if so, who will supply
them. By the end of this meeting, these guidelines should be set and a book selection and date
for the first official meeting should be finalized.

Planning and running a book club is not without challenges, but when a book club is run
effectively, the experience can be extremely rewarding for everyone involved. "
Q.51 According to the passage, when starting a book club, the first thing a person should do is
1) Hang flyers in local establishments.

3) Decide on the focus and size of the club.
