Direction (Qs. 108-110):
Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions:

6
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 lnvaders. 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 (Al) will provide us with more
personalized virtual worlds to explore, even giving
us realistic virtual characters to share our
experiences with.
108. The passage states all the following about VR
applications except.
(a) Vertigo is a major feature of all Al applications
(b) VR applications takes control of the user’s
senses
(c) VR applications creates a virtual environment
that feels pretty realistic
(d) Future Al will allow us to share our experiences
with realistic virtual characters

69. Ans. (b) 'Mitigate' is a verb which means 'to reduce
or to diminish'. Option B - to become greater, more
serious, or more extreme, or to make something do
this:
Therefore, the most appropriate antonym for

70. Ans. (d)











From Venn Diagram we can clearly see that neither I
nor II follows.

71. Ans. (a)





From Venn Diagram, we can see that only II follows.

72. Ans. (a)








From Venn Diagram, it is clear that neither I nor II
follows.

73. Ans. (b) 37
2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 38, 50, 65

+3 +5 +7 +9 +12 +12 +15
+11 +13
Hence 38 is wrong number.

74. Ans. (a) 30
30 - 35 = -5
-5 - 40 = -45
-45 - 45 = -90
-90 - 50 = -140
-140 - 55 = -195
-195 - 60 = -255
Hence, -145 is wrong. -140 should have come in
place of -145

75. Ans. (d) Green cover = B, C, E, F
Yellow cover = A and D
New volumes = A, B, D
Old volumes = C, E, F
Law reports = A, B, C
Medical extracts = D, E, F
Clearly, E and F are the two old medical extracts
with green covers.
