Journalism / Mass Communication QUESTION #6352

In Wilbur Schramm and Osgood's Interactive Model (1954), what fundamental improvement was introduced over Shannon-Weaver's earlier model?

It removed the concept of noise entirely from the communication process
It introduced the concept of encoding and decoding as simultaneous, two-way activities along with feedback and the field of experience✔️
It restricted communication to technological channels only
It replaced the receiver with an automated decoder

Correct Answer Logic:

Shannon-Weaver (1947) modelled communication as a linear, one-way process concerned mainly with engineering fidelity. The major criticisms were: (1) it ignored the meaning of messages, and (2) it treated communication as unidirectional. Wilbur Schramm (1954), working with Osgood, addressed both gaps. He conceived encoding and decoding as simultaneous, reciprocal activities — both sender and receiver are continuously encoding and decoding at the same time. He added the critical concept of the field of experience (the psychological frame of reference that each party brings), and incorporated feedback as an essential loop. The model also included context and recognised that meaning is negotiated, not merely transmitted. This made it far more applicable to human (as opposed to machine) communication.

Verbal Reasoning QUESTION #8072

Question 2943

Given that $p$ and $q$ are different prime numbers, $r$ is the least prime number greater than $p$, and $s$ is the least prime number greater than $q$.

Compare:

Column A: $r - p$

Column B: $s - q$

Column A is greater
Column B is greater
The two quantities are equal
The relationship cannot be determined✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

The difference between a prime and the next prime varies. For example:

$3 - 2 = 1$ (gap of 1)
$5 - 3 = 2$ (gap of 2)
$7 - 5 = 2$ (gap of 2)
$11 - 7 = 4$ (gap of 4)
$23 - 19 = 4$ (gap of 4)

Since $p$ and $q$ are different primes and we don't know which specific primes they are, the gaps $r - p$ and $s - q$ could be equal or different.

For instance:

If $p = 2$ and $q = 3$: then $r = 3, s = 5$, so $r - p = 1$ and $s - q = 2$, making Column B greater
If $p = 3$ and $q = 2$: then $r = 5, s = 3$, so $r - p = 2$ and $s - q = 1$, making Column A greater

Since the relationship depends on which primes are chosen, it cannot be determined from the given information.

Law QUESTION #9513

Question 2950

A and B are parties to a civil suit. After the Court records evidence and hears arguments, it reserves judgment. Before pronouncing judgment, the presiding Judge is transferred. The new Judge wants to rehear the case from the beginning. A objects. Is the new Judge entitled to rehear the case from scratch?

No; only the original Judge can pronounce judgment
Yes; a new Judge must always start the trial afresh
Yes; all evidence must be re-recorded before the new Judge
No; the new Judge may pronounce judgment on the basis of the evidence recorded by his predecessor, though he may in his discretion rehear any part if he considers it necessary for justice✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

Order XVIII Rule 15 CPC provides that where a Judge is succeeded by another and the case has been partly heard, the new Judge may act on the evidence already recorded, though he may re-examine any witness if necessary. The case need not be reheard from the beginning unless the new Judge considers it essential for proper adjudication.

Accounting & Finance QUESTION #9621

Question 2957

Which of the following correctly distinguishes between a 'Provision' and a 'Reserve' in financial accounting?

Both are created at the discretion of management and may be used for any purpose
A provision is shown as a deduction from an asset or as a liability; a reserve is shown as part of equity✔️
A reserve reduces profit even if the entity has made a loss; a provision does not affect profit
Provisions are created only when the exact amount of a future obligation is known

Correct Answer Logic:

A provision is created out of necessity to show a true profit (charged to P&L) and is shown either as a deduction from the related asset (e.g., provision for bad debts) or as a current liability (e.g., accrued expenses). A reserve is an appropriation of profit, shown on the equity/liability side of the balance sheet, and is created at management's discretion only when profits exist.

Mathematics QUESTION #1266

Question 2959

For $f(x,y)=xy-2x$ on the triangular region with vertices $(0,0)$, $(4,0)$, $(0,4)$, the absolute minimum value is:

$-8$✔️
$0$
$-4$
$4$

Correct Answer Logic:

On boundary edge from $(0,0)$ to $(4,0)$ ($y=0$): $f=-2x$, minimum at $x=4$: $f=-8$. Interior critical point: $f_x=y-2=0\Rightarrow y=2$; $f_y=x=0\Rightarrow x=0$, giving $f(0,2)=0$. Checking all boundaries, the absolute minimum is $-8$ at $(4,0)$.
