Read the passage to answer question 4-9
No actual black hole has yet been located or studied, but the concept has
provided endless imaginative fodder for science fiction writers and endless
theoretical fodder for physicists and astrophysicists.
Black holes are one of the more exotic theoretical manifestations of general
relativity. The standard model for the formation of a black hole involves the
collapse of a large star. For extremely massive stars that are four to five
times the mass of our sun, the exclusion principle—the resistance between
the molecular particles within the star as they are compressed—will not be
strong enough to offset the gravity generated by the star's own mass. The

star's increasing density will overwhelm the exclusion principle. What
follows is runaway gravitational collapse. With no internal force to stop it,
the star will simply continue to collapse in on itself, until it reaches a point
of infinite density and zero volume, a phenomenon known as a singularity.
The star now disappears from the perceivable universe, like a cartoon
character who jumps into a hole and pulls the hole in after him. What this
process leaves behind is
a different kind of hole—a profound disturbance in spacetime, a region
where gravity is so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape from it.
Any object falling within the boundary of a black hole will be sucked in and
will disappear from our universe forever.
What would happen to an object, such as an astronaut, as it vanished into
the black hole? Physicists have been amusing themselves with this
question for years. Most believe that the astronaut would be destroyed by
the intense gravitational forces within the black hole, or would explode in a
flash of gamma rays as he or she approached the singularity at the hole's
core. Theoretically, an astronaut who managed to survive the passage
would experience some very strange things, including acute time
distortion, which would enable him or her to know, in a few brief seconds,
the entire future of the universe in all its detail.

ANALYTICAL REASONING
Questions 10-13
The supervisor of a commuter airline is scheduling pilots to fly the round-
trip from City X to City Y. The trip takes only two hours, and the airline has
one round-trip flight in the morning and one round-trip flight in the
afternoon, each day, Monday through Friday. Pilots must be scheduled in
accordance with the following rules:
Only W, X, and Y can fly the morning flight.
Only V, X, and Z can fly the afternoon flight.
No pilot may fly twice on the same day.
No pilot may fly on two consecutive days.
X must fly the Wednesday morning flight.
Z must fly the Tuesday afternoon flight.
[Link] of the following must be true?
A. W flies the Monday morning flight
B. X flies the Monday afternoon flight
C. Y flies the Tuesday morning flight
D. Z flies the Thursday afternoon flight
[Link] X flies on Friday morning, which of the following must be true?
A. X does not fly on Monday afternoon
B. V flies on Friday afternoon
C. W flies Thursday morning
D. Y flies Thursday morning
[Link] X flies only one morning flight during the week, which of the
following must be true?
A. W flies exactly two days during the week
B. X flies exactly three days during the week
C. Y flies only one day during the week
D. Z flies Monday afternoon and Friday afternoon
[Link] W is not scheduled to fly at all during the week, all of the following
must be true EXCEPT
A. X flies on Monday morning
B. V flies on Monday afternoon
C. Y flies on Thursday morning
D. Z flies on Friday afternoon
Should present trends continue, within five years it will be cheaper for
audio enthusiasts to build their stereo systems around sets of separate,
high quality tuners and amplifiers, rather than around integrated tuners
and amplifiers, known as receivers. While receivers have been considered
the necessary compromise for those with budget restrictions, recent
Sample Paper APPLICATION DEVELOPER 5

trends in retail pricing seem destined to change that perception. The
average retail price of a high-quality tuner has declined at a rate of 20
percent each of the last two years, and the average retail price of a high-
quality amplifier has declined at the rate of 35 percent for each of those
years. At the same time, the average retail price of integrated receivers
has declined only 12 percent.
[Link] evaluating the claim made in the passage above, information about
which of the following would be most useful?
A. the average life expectancy of stereo tuners as compared to
the average life expectancy of stereo amplifiers
B. the number of integrated receivers sold each year and the
number of sets of separate tuners and amplifiers sold each
year
C. the present average retail price of an integrated receiver and
the present average retail price of a tuner and amplifier set
D. the number of separate tuner and amplifier sets expected to
be purchased over the next five years and the number of inte-
grated receivers expected to be purchased over the next five
years
