Journalism / Mass Communication QUESTION #6366

The first Indian sound film, Alam Ara (1931), directed by Ardeshir Irani, was significant for multiple reasons. Which of the following is the MOST historically accurate statement about this film?

It was the first film shot in colour in the Indian subcontinent
It was the first Indian film with a soundtrack, released on March 14, 1931, and contained seven songs✔️
It was the first film produced in Pakistan after independence
It was the first silent film produced in the subcontinent

Correct Answer Logic:

Alam Ara (1931), directed by Ardeshir Irani for Imperial Film Company, holds the distinction of being India's first talkie film (a film with a recorded sound track). It was released on 14 March 1931 at Bombay's Majestic Cinema. The film was 10,500 feet long, ran for seven weeks, contained seven songs, and was a romantic costume drama. Its success proved that there was a huge market for “talkies and musicals,” and the entire film industry quickly switched to sound production. Note: Ardeshir Irani also directed Kisan Kanya (1937), which was the first colour film (Option A is therefore incorrect). The first silent feature film of the subcontinent was Raja Harishchandra (1913) by Dadasaheb Phalke. The first Pakistani film after independence was Teri Yaad (1948).

Question 3

A Buyer orders 'Grade A' wheat. The Seller delivers 'Grade B' wheat. The Buyer notices the defect immediately but stays silent and uses the wheat. Can the Buyer later sue for breach?

Yes, because the goods did not conform to the contract.
No, because the Buyer accepted the goods by failing to reject them.✔️
Yes, but only if the Seller acted in bad faith.
No, because 'Grade B' is a reasonable substitute.

Correct Answer Logic:

Under UCC §2-602 and §2-606, failure to make an effective rejection after a reasonable opportunity to inspect signifies acceptance.

Question 4

A firm has a Current Ratio of $1.31$ and a Quick Ratio of $0.53$. If the firm utilizes cash to pay off a portion of its Accounts Payable, what is the impact on these ratios?

Both ratios will decrease.
Both ratios will increase.✔️
The Current Ratio will increase, but the Quick Ratio will decrease.
Both ratios will remain unchanged.

Correct Answer Logic:

If the Current Ratio is greater than $1$, paying off debt with cash increases the ratio because the numerator and denominator decrease by the same amount, moving the ratio further from $1$ [cite: 36, 38].

Question 7

In IR spectroscopy, the fingerprint region is found in the range:

4000–2500 cm$^{-1}$
2500–1500 cm$^{-1}$
1500–600 cm$^{-1}$✔️
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

The fingerprint region in IR spectroscopy is the range from approximately 1500 to 600 cm$^{-1}$. This region contains complex, overlapping absorption bands arising from C–O, C–N, C–X stretching and various bending vibrations that are unique to each molecule — like a molecular fingerprint. The region 4000–2500 cm$^{-1}$ is the functional group region (X–H stretches).

CISA QUESTION #1736

Question 10

When problems are identified during an audit engagement, what is the appropriate way for the auditor to handle the remediation process?

The auditor should assume ownership of the issue and actively participate in developing a corrective action plan.
The auditor should determine the severity of the issue and then prescribe a specific solution after evaluating the business impact.
The auditor can add substantial value by defining the detailed remediation steps required to fix the problem.
The auditor must not take ownership of identified problems and should limit involvement to providing general guidance — leaving the auditee responsible for designing their own remediation plan.✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

Auditor objectivity and independence require that the auditor never become an active participant in fixing the problems they have identified. Once an auditor takes ownership of a remediation plan, they can no longer independently and objectively evaluate whether the remediation is adequate — they have effectively become part of the process they are supposed to audit. The auditor's proper role is to identify, describe, and provide general context for problems; solution design belongs to the auditee.

D < 0✔️
D = 0

Correct Answer Logic:
