A jar contained a mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio of 4:1. When 10 litres of the mixture was taken out and 10 litres of liquid B was poured into the jar, this ratio becomes 2:3. The initial quantity of liquid A contained in the jar was a) 4 litres b) 8 litres c) 16 litres d) 40 litres Ans. (d) Sol . Let the initial quantity of liquids A and B in the jar be 4x and x litres respectively After taking out 10 litres of the mixture Liquid A 4 4x- ×10= 4x-8 litres 5 Liquid B  Gain percent =100-40×100 =150% 40 Remaining oranges = 60 80% of the remaining oranges =60×80=48 100 These are sold at a profit of 75%  Their S.P. =48×175=84 100  Gain per cent = 84% 04. A shopkeeper purchased 510 eggs at the rate of Rs. 20 per dozen. 30 eggs were broken on the way.

  14. MOCK TEST Our propensity to look out for regularities, and to impose laws upon nature, leads to the psychological phenomenon of dogmatic thinking or, more generally, dogmatic behaviour: we expect regularities everywhere and attempt to find them even where there are none; events which do not yield to these attempts we are inclined to treat as a kind of ‘background noise’; and we stick to our expectations even when they are inadequate and we ought to accept defeat. This dogmatism is to some extent necessary. It is demanded by a situation which can only be dealt with by forcing our conjectures upon the world. Moreover, this dogmatism allows us to approach a good theory in stages, by way of approximations: if we accept defeat too easily, we may prevent ourselves from finding that we were very nearly right. It is clear that this dogmatic attitude, which makes us stick to our first impressions, is indicative of a strong belief; while a critical attitude, which is ready to modify its tenets, which admits doubt and demands tests, is indicative of a weaker belief. Now according to Hume’s theory, and to the popular theory, the strength of a belief should be a product of repetition; thus it should always grow with experience, and always be greater in less primitive persons. But dogmatic thinking, an uncontrolled wish to impose regularities, a manifest pleasure in rites and in repetition as such, is characteristic of primitives and children; and increasing experience and maturity sometimes create an attitude of caution and criticism rather than of dogmatism. My logical criticism of Hume’s psychological theory, and the considerations connected with it, may seem a little removed from the field of the philosophy of science. But the distinction between dogmatic and critical thinking, or the dogmatic and the critical attitude, brings us right back to our central problem. For the dogmatic attitude is clearly related to the tendency to verify our laws and schemata by seeking to apply them and to confirm them, even to the point of neglecting refutations, whereas the critical attitude is one of readiness to change them — to test them; to refute them; to falsify them, if possible. This suggests that we may identify the critical attitude with the scientific attitude, and the dogmatic attitude with the one which we have described as pseudo-scientific. It further suggests that genetically speaking the pseudo-scientific attitude is more primitive than, and prior to, the scientific attitude: that it is a pre- scientific attitude. And this primitivity or priority also has its logical aspect. For the critical attitude is not so much opposed to the dogmatic attitude as super-imposed upon it: criticism must be directed against existing and influential beliefs in need of critical revision — in other words, dogmatic beliefs. A critical attitude needs for its 14 raw material, as it were, theories or beliefs which are held more or less dogmatically. Thus, science must begin with myths, and with the criticism of myths; neither with the collection of observations, nor with the invention of experiments, but with the critical discussion of myths, and of magical techniques and practices. The scientific tradition is distinguished from the pre-scientific tradition in having two layers. Like the latter, it passes on its theories; but it also passes on a critical attitude towards them. The theories are passed on, not as dogmas, but rather with the challenge to discuss them and improve upon them. The critical attitude, the tradition of free discussion of theories with the aim of discovering their weak spots so that they may be improved upon, is the attitude of reasonableness, of rationality. From the point of view here developed, all laws, all theories, remain essentially tentative, or conjectural, or hypothetical, even when we feel unable to doubt them any longer. Before a theory has been refuted we can never know in what way it may have to be modified. 96. In the context of science, according to the passage, the interaction of dogmatic beliefs and critical attitude can be best described as: a) A duel between two warriors in which one has to die. b) The effect of a chisel on a marble stone while making a sculpture. c) The feedshare (natural gas) in fertilizer industry being transformed into fertilizers. d) A predator killing its prey. Ans. (b) Sol. Refer to lines 12-15 paragraph 4. 97. According to the passage, the role of a dogmatic attitude or dogmatic behaviour in the development of science is a) critical and important, as, without it, initial hypotheses or conjectures can never be made. b) positive, as conjectures arising out of our dogmatic attitude become science. c) negative, as it leads to pseudo-science. d) neutral, as the development of science is essentially because of our critical attitude. Ans. (a) Sol. Refer to lines 1-5, paragraph 5. 98. Dogmatic behaviour, in this passage, has been associated with primitives and children. Which of the following best describes the reason why the author compares primitives with children? a) Primitives are people who are not educated, and hence can be compared with children, who have not yet been through school. b) Primitives are people who, though not modern, are as innocent as children.

Ans. (d) Sol. Refer to lines 9-14 paragraph 2. 99. Which of the following statements best supports the argument in the passage that a critical attitude leads to a weaker belief than a dogmatic attitude does? a) A critical attitude implies endless questioning, and, therefore, it cannot lead to strong beliefs. b) A critical attitude, by definition, is centred on an analysis of anomalies and “noise”. c) A critical attitude leads to questioning everything, and in the process generates “noise” without any conviction. d) A critical attitude leads to questioning and to tentative hypotheses. Ans. (d) 15 Sol. Refer to lines 4-9, paragraph 6. 100. According to the passage, which of the following statements best describes the difference between science and pseudo-science? a) Scientific theories or hypotheses are tentatively true whereas pseudo-sciences are always true. b) Scientific laws and theories are permanent and immutable whereas pseudo-sciences are contingent on the prevalent mode of thinking in a society. c) Science always allows the possibility of rejecting a theory or hypothesis, whereas pseudo- sciences seek to validate their ideas or theories. d) Science focuses on anomalies and exceptions so that fundamental truths can be uncovered, whereas pseudo-sciences focus mainly on general truths. Ans. (c) Sol. Refer to lines 6-12, paragraph 3. Tilak Nagar-9311566241, Karol Bagh-8376934679, Pitampura-8376934648, Munirka-9650549487, Laxmi nagar-9953283708 www.vidyaguru.in
