Read the passage given below and answer the question based on your
understanding of the passage:
To survive, thrive and beat the completion in today’s brutally competitive
world one has to manage the future. Managing the future means managing the
information. In order to manage the information, in order to deliver high quality
information to the decision makers at the right time, in order to automate the
process of data collection, collation and refinement, organizations have to make
information technology (IT) an ally, harness its full potential and use in the best
way possible.
We have seen that in today’s competitive business environment, the key
resource of every organization is information. If the organization does not have an
efficient and effective mechanism that enable it to give the decision-makers the right
information at the right time, then the chances of the organization succeeding in the
next millennium are very remote.
The three fundamental characteristics of information are accuracy, relevancy
and timeliness. The information has to be accurate, it must be relevant for the
decision maker and it must be available to the decision maker when he needs it. Any
organization that has the mechanism to collect, collate, analysis and present high
quality information to its employees, ‘thus enabling them to make batter decisions,
will always be one step ahead of the competition. Today, the time available for an
organization to react to the changing market trends in very short. To survive, the
organization must always be on its toes, gathering and analyzing the data-both
internal and external. Any mechanism that will automate this information gathering
and analysis process will enhance the chances of the organization to beat the
competition.

Read the passage given below, and answer the Questions that follow based on
your understanding of the passage :
The growth of the Internet and its ubiquitous use in study and work creates
new areas of concern. Town (2003) notes the problem of information illiteracy
within higher education:
Students are relying uniformly on the web and show a lack of understanding
about the resources available to them “because all the information is in the same
place”. The web may have “changed everything” but in doing so it has created a new
problem of information illiteracy; that of false confidence in the Internet as a
complete information resource (Town, 2003).
There is such a proliferation of content across such a range of areas, available
with such immediacy that the sheer volume of information can seem overwhelming.
For sufferers of this “Information anxiety” the simplicity of the Google search
interface must act as a claiming tonic. It is not demanding of the information seeker
in the formation of search terms and almost always produces vast numbers of hits.
It even helps out with your spelling.
Faced with such a bewildering array of electronic sources of information the
ease and immediacy of retrieval becomes as important as the quality of the
resources retrieved. This may be the most significant challenge to the information
profession in the information society, to map and signpost the information
landscape. This has been the traditional role of the librarian and whilst the
information domain is changing the core principles of the profession remain as
important to society as ever.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions based on your
understanding of the passage.
Digital devices measure and display discrete quantities. Most clocks, for
example are analog in nature and have hands that sweep along a continuous scale as
do the needles on speedometers Digital clocks, however, display discrete numbers
standing for the time. The numbers are either there or they are not, and they click
into position virtually instantaneously. In fact, speed and accuracy are
distinguishing features of most digital devices, because analog equipment comes in a
poor second on both counts. A valid comparison can be made between slide rules,
which are analog, and pocket calculators, which are digital.
Accepts information in a unitary form, i.e., letters, symbols and numbers.
These may represent anything the computer user wishes. All calculations and
processing of the incoming data are done on the digital computer. Thus, all the
mathematical rules and functions may be applied and the results are printed out in
conventional letters, symbols or numbers. Thus, these are general purpose
computers suitable for information processing in general.
“Hybrid” computers have been developed to take advantage of the strength
of both analog and digital devices. Typically, analog computers will measure
physical quantities such as temperature or pressure and then relay the data to
digital computers, which, because of their greater speed and accuracy, can perform
statistical computations on the data easily. The output is then displayed in a
convenient form for the human beings responsible for conducting or monitoring the
operation in question.
Because of their unique capabilities for symbol manipulation, digital
computers loom for more important in applied information science than the other
types, and it is to them that we shall be referring when we speak of computers from
now on.

146. The distinguishing features of digital devices are :

(i) Speed (ii) Accuracy (iii) Timeliness (iv) Easy to Carry

Information is a resource whose generation consumes time and money and
whose use conserves time and money. The industrial environment in India is
making a quantum jump in the field of technology absorption and innovation. New
companies, both in the public and private sector, have been started in the past two
years and most of the monopoly business is coming to an end. In other words, the
industrial environment is becoming more and more competitive. Information is one
of the major resources which will help the company win a competitive edge.
Electronics industry is both an important and competitive industry. It has grown
514% from 1970, with an average growth rate of 15% per annum. It is hoped that
by 1990 the computer industry would be a Rs. 665 crore sector. There are more
than 100 companies in India now manufacturing computers. The survival in this
industry by a company largely depends on its openness to adopt new technologies,
introduce state-of-the art products, new marketing strategies etc. For this the
company needs information on the technology, environment and competition. The
types of information generally sought by a company include economic information,
legal information, information on personnel relations, public relations, technology
trends, market trends etc.

Answer: (D)

Read the passage given below, and

answer the question based on your
understanding of the passage:

To survive, thrive and beat the

competition in today’s brutally
competitive world, one has to manage the
future. Managing the future means
managing the information. In order to
manage the information, in order to
deliver high quality information to the
decision makers at the right time, in order
to automate the process of data collection,
collation and refinement, organizations
have to make Information Technology
(IT) an ally, harness its full potential and
use it in the best way possible.
We have seen that in today’s
competitive business environment, the
key resource of every organization is
information. If the organization does not
have an efficient and effective mechanism
that enables it to give the decision-makers
the right information at the right time,
then the chances of that organization
succeeding in the next millennium are
very remote.
The three fundamental
characteristics of information are
accuracy, relevancy and timeliness. The
information has to be accurate, it must be
relevant for the decision- maker and it
must be available to the decision-maker
when he needs it. Any organization that
has the mechanism to collect, collate,
analyse and present high quality
information to its employees, ‘thus
enabling them to make better decisions,
will always be one step ahead of the

competition. Today, the time available for

an organization to react to the changing

Note: Read the passage gien below, and answer the question based on your
understanding of the passage.

One of the major drawbacks of the legacy systems was that it did not have
an integrated approach. There would be an accounting system for the finance
department, a production planning system for the manufacturing department, an
inventory management system for the stores department, and so on. All these
systems would perform in isolation. So if a person wanted some information which
had to be derived from any of these tow systems, he had to get the necessary reports
from both systems and then correlate and combine the data.
But in reality, an organization cannot function as islands of different
departments. The production planning data is required for the purchasing
department. The purchasing details are required for the finance department and so
on. So if all the information islands, which were functioning in isolation, were
integrated into a single system, then the impact of that would be dramatic, For
example, if the purchase department can see the production planning details, it can
make the purchasing schedule, if the finance department can see the details of the
purchase as soon as it is entered in the system, it can plan of the cash flow that will
be necessary for the purchases.
Because the systems work in isolation, collecting and analyzing the data
needed for the functioning departments, as well as getting information about some
aspect that is dependent on more than one department, becomes a difficult task. But
no business executive or decision maker can take good decisions with the isolated
data that he will get from the various reports produced by each department. Even if
he collates the data and produces the information that he requires, he would have
lost valuable time that would have been better spent in decision-making for that
process.

296. The following system can survive in isolation:

(A) Accounting system
(B) Planning system
(C)Inventory management system
(D) No system

Rolland Munro describes accountability as an informal giving that is part of

everyday conversation, as well as more formal transactions generally involving
some sort of documentary artifact (what we archivists refer to as a “record”). He
notes that the authors move “between accounts as stories, explanations and reasons
for conduct on the one hand and accounts as coded representations, records, often
in the form of numbers, on the other hand”. Each of these modes mediates the other
in what he refers to as “accountability relationships.” “Distributions of materials and
devices are as much as effect of the giving and calling for accounts, as they are
integral to the business of producing and consuming accounts”. Records are both
intermediaries in the accountability process and evidence of it.
In our daily language we often refer to accountability as something that
must be achieved, rather than as something that is done informally yet continuously.
The difference here is between viewing accountability as a thing represented by an
artifact, such as a record, and thinking about accountability as a process in which
people and records must interact to achieve accountability. In this latter view, the
focus on accountability becomes an analysis of the methods people use to engage in
accountability relations.

To survive, thrive and beat the completion in today’s brutally competitive
world one has to manage the future. Managing the future means managing the
information. In order to manage the information, in order to deliver high quality
information to the decision makers at the right time, in order to automate the
process of data collection, collation and refinement, organizations have to make
information technology (IT) an ally, harness its full potential and use in the best
way possible.

information at the right time, then the chances of the organization succeeding in the
next millennium are very remote.
The three fundamental characteristics of information are accuracy, relevancy
and timeliness. The information has to be accurate, it must be relevant for the
decision maker and it must be available to the decision maker when he needs it. Any
organization that has the mechanism to collect, collate, analysis and present high
quality information to its employees, ‘thus enabling them to make batter decisions,
will always be one step ahead of the competition. Today, the time available for an
organization to react to the changing market trends in very short. To survive, the
organization must always be on its toes, gathering and analyzing the data-both
internal and external. Any mechanism that will automate this information gathering
and analysis process will enhance the chances of the organization to beat the
competition.

Answer: (D)

Read the passage given below, and answer the questions based on
your understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 46-50)
Invention is the creation of an idea that can be translated to practice. It is
also the process of bringing new technology into being. Invention is goal directed,
the process is orderly, and it is essentially an intellectual process. An inventor is
generally not a big reservoir of existing knowledge or of past failures. A substantial
part of a scientist’s time is spent in collecting facts. The greater a scientist’s
familiarity with the great scientific works, the greater will be his own power of
invention. Ingenuity is the younger brother of imagination. Theoretical creation is
an intermediate step between invention and discovery. A scientist, who is familiar
with a number of methods attached to a problem, is most likely to solve the greatest
number of problems.
Invention is the basic ingredient of innovation. Innovation is of two kinds,
i.e., in product and service. It is a slow process. Innovations which started several
years ago may bear fruit now. Innovation involves the bringing of an invention into
commercial use. In some cases, invention and innovation merge into one another.
Invention and innovation have been the foundations of industrial development in
most advanced countries. Innovation brings about competition and competition
brings about efficiency. Of the total innovation process, research is only a part.
Research may invent, but invention can only be utilized by the complicated and
complex process of innovation. Innovation is more often the result of recognizing
and adapting an idea than of invention a new one. Utilization of technical
information including research outputs can result in an industrial innovation.
Innovators achieve success, but not imitations. In the past, innovation came
from individual scientists. Individual inventors were responsible for innovation. In
modern industry it is rarely the case, teams of scientists are really responsible for
inventions and innovations. Success in invention and innovation depends not only
on originality and imagination but also on knowing what and how to invent and
innovate.

426. What is an invention?

(A) It is the idea that has the characteristics of application.
(B) A theoretical idea regardless of application.

Answer: (A)

427. An invention involves

(A) Collection & application of past data.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions based on your
understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 46-50)
In the late 1990s the publishing world launched a new system into the
information and publishing world called Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). DOIs are
alphanumeric character strings that identify objects in an electronic environment.
DOIs are universal, unique and permanent identification tags for online
content that is registered in an online directory. DOIs can cover any form of digital

files such as text, image, video, audio or even software. DOIs can also cover many
levels of content. For example, it might tag an entire book, a chapter in the book,
illustrations, individual sentences, or perhaps the book’s index. It is a system that
identifies creation endeavours and uniquely marks the content of these items. It is
intended to individualize information units on the Web.
DOIs can be placed in a variety of places, such as in the object itself, in an
information structure that contains the object, on a Web page that describes the
element, in a database or as an entry in an indexing system.
The identifier tags have no intrinsic meaning, as a classification code does.
They are content labels, each being unique and without duplicates. The identifiers
are stored in a directory that allows the lookup of the current Internet address of
the copyright owner and where the information now resides. The author, publisher
or current owner is responsible for maintaining the response page, which presents
data about the information item and the conditions of its use.
The directory of DOIs routes inquiries to the up-to-date sites on the Internet
for accessing the content of the object. When addresses change, the directory will
route the query to where the content is currently located or to where information is
given concerning how to obtain it. Over time, when objects move around or change
ownership, the directory keeps tabs on these changes.
Although the major purpose of the DOI system is the management of
intellectual property, indexing and abstracting services, as well as document
delivery services will find DOIs a useful tool.

Read the passage below and answer the questions based on understanding of
the passage. (Question Nos. 46 – 50) :
Communication media have evolved along with technological
transformations and progress. Man’s inborn need to communicate led to the first
medium for the global transmission of information – the printing press, followed by

the rotary printing press. But the need for information has always been in
continuous growth, so that inventions such as telegraph had to be adopted for
information transmission by waves. Indeed, the radio was one of the society’s great
technological and democratizing advances. But there is no doubt that television has
succeeded in making McLuhan’s idea of the existence of a television tribe a reality.
Large companies, which control access to information by methods that are close to
being a monopoly, wage fierce battles in order to control mass media, especially
television.
The “fourth power’ collects, disseminates and preserves a great quantity of
information. This information is thematically diverse and exists in a wide variety of
formats and media. In order to control such an important business asset, almost all
television broadcasters have set a documentation service that is responsible for
satisfying journalists’ information needs and for the maintenance of the firm’s
intellectual and cultural heritage.
Documentation centres are just the visible aspects of a great documentation
web involving different classes of documents, varied media and the diverse
requirements of end users. The computerization of documentation structures is a
reality that is sustained by a constant exchange of information between
documentalists and communication scientists, aimed at enabling the preservation of
information and access to this information by means of a standard set of
parameters.
The thematic descriptors must describe, viewed and referred content in the
audiovisual documents with precision. Thematic identification has a special
importance since it is the usual method for accessing information. For these fields,
different television companies use different proprietary ad hoe tools, with thesauri
being the formula employed to control vocabulary. There have also been
experiments aimed at developing effective tools based on faceted classifications. The
fact that audio-visual information has to be analysed from two different
perspectives in order to understand the challenges offered by this kind of document
should be considered. The visual and the sonorous sometimes are complementary,
and consequently must be studied and analysed by the information manager. Sound
and visual tracks do often collaborate to create a joint informative message, but it is
also very common the case where both contribute to create quite different
meanings.

Read the passage given below, and answer the questions based on your
understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 46-50)
One of the problems with automatic classification techniques is that they
normally involve processing the whole collection in response to every request; this

is inefficient, because we know in advance that a substantial part of the collection

will not be relevant to the request. One of the major objectives of an information
retrieval system is to allow the user to discard with the minimum of effort any items
not relevant to an enquiry. Classification schemes set out to achieve this by grouping
items according to specified characteristics; provided that our specification meets
the user’s needs, this grouping will be helpful, but if it does not, our organization of
information may prove to be a positive hindrance instead of a help. There has been a
substantial amount of research into computer techniques which would achieve the
same end, by reducing the size of the collection to be searched in response to any
given request. The classical Aristotelian definition of classification states that a class
consists of a set of objects having a given characteristic in common, possession of
that characteristic being a necessary and sufficient condition for class membership.
A document may be described by a number of terms, derived or assigned, and that
we expect to retrieve in answer to a request a set of documents which match the
request closely but rarely exactly. This arises because the terms used to
describe documents fall into a number of classes, and we can never be exhaustive in
our characterization. In other words, we hope to retrieve a set of documents which
maximizes the match between the query and the description of the classes into
which the desired documents fall, without expecting the match to be exact in
classical terms. Aristotelian classification assumes a single essential element;
documentary classification assumes that related document will share a number of
elements, without necessarily having all of those specified in a particular query.

576. One of the problems of automatic classification is that :

(A) It does not process the whole collection to answer a query.
(B) It processes the part collection to answer a query.
(C) It processes the whole collection to answer a query.
(D) The substantial part of the processed collection will be relevant.
Answer: (C)

577. One of the major objectives of an IR system is

(A) To help the user to express their actual need.
(B) To help the user to discard irrelevant items with the minimum effort.
(C) To help the user not to discard irrelevant items with the minimum effort.
(D) To help the user to maximize their effort to locate an irrelevant item.
Answer: (B)

578. What does the research in computer techniques aim at?

(A) To increase the size of the collection to be searched not in response to any given
request.
(B) To increase the size of the collection to be searched in response to any given

Read the passage given below, and answer the questions based on your
understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 46-50)
The primary concern with the longevity of digital documents is the “viewing
problem” (Besser, 2000). Unlike analog or physical information, which tends to exist
independent of human involvement, digital information needs constant intervention
to survive. History has shown that digital documents are problematic by default.
Whereas we can actually look at the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted 500 years ago, it
is difficult if not impossible to simply view documents on 8-in. Floppy disks created
in the last 20 years, even if there has been an immediate, proactive role in
preserving them. Without concerted effort on the part of archivists and
preservationists, digital objects quickly become obsolete or inaccessible due to
unforeseen, although anticipated, advances in information technology. The variable
media art community currently utilizes four digital preservation strategies, all
focused on the end product. The first three methods have technical origins
and are based on general digital preservation practices. Related to “the viewing
problem”, they are: refreshing, the upgrade of storage mechanisms; migration, the
premeditated upgrade of file formats; and emulation, which focuses on development
of operating systems able to run obsolete media. The fourth option, developed by
and for the new media art community, is reinterpretation (Depocas et al., 2003),
where the curators attempt to recreate a work given comprehensive documentation
of the original artefact. Migration and emulation are the two primary methods in
managing the problem of obsolete file formats (Waters & Garrett, 1996). Migration
focuses on the files themselves, periodically updating files in new software formats.
The second method of preservation is emulation, which can be either at the system
or the software level. System emulation focuses on developing systems that mimic
the hardware used to create or run the original artefact.

Read the following passage and answer the questions 46-50 :

Computing is in nature a problemdriven science and therefore PBL

approaches have been applied to teach various subjects. Kay et al. (2000) describe
PBL in foundation courses in computer science. The course is driven by specific
problems related to programming skills and the instructors have set specific criteria
to measure the success of their approach at the end of each problem. Having applied
the approach for three years the authors of the study conclude that the PBL
approach promoted the collaboration among students and their problem solving
abilities.
A problem-based approach is used in a software development project
(O’Kelly and Gibson, 2006). The authors claim that, with this approach, students are
provided with the freedom to think for themselves, activate their prior knowledge
and acquire new knowledge in an explorative and creative way. Another study
supports that lecture based approaches are not stimulating and the computer skills
learnt are not transferable to other situations (Lai, 2005). The author applied PBL in
teaching pre-school teachers popular computer applications such as Microsoft
Office.

Based on their evaluation of the activities, the author concludes that the
course was motivational and also promotes higher order thinking skills.
Ellis et al. (1998) refer to the full problem-based learning and the guided problem-
based learning approaches. In full problem-based learning, the nature of the
problem guides and drives the entire learning experience. There are no formal
expositions of knowledge from the “expert”, and the students develop resources
based on requirements they determine. In guided problem-based learning, students
have a problem to solve as a group.

676. What was the result of problem based learning approach ?

(A) Improved peer coordination
(B) Promoted collaboration among students
(C) Applied to teach subjects
(D) Applied to teach only computer science
Answer: (B)

677. What are the advantages of PBL application in teaching ?

(A) Self study
(B) Exploration of literature
(C) Acquire soft skills
(D) Freedom to think
Answer: (D)

678. What are the limitations of lecture based approach ?

(C) Not repetitive
(D) Transferable to others
Answer: (B)
