The guru of a yogi lives in a Himalyan cave, 1000 km away from the house of the yogi . The yogi claims that whenever he thinks about his guru, the guru immediately knows about it. Calcualte the minimum possible tiem interval between the yogi thinking about the guru and the guru knowing about it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here `S = 1000 km = 10^(6) m `
The process requires minimum possible time if the velocity is maximum. We know that maximum velocity can be that of light (i.e. `3xx 10^(8) m /s)`
` Time = Distance / Speed `
` = 10^(6) / 3 xx 10^(8) = 1 /300 s `

  • The world dismisses curiosity by calling it idle, or mere idle curiosity - even though curious persons are seldom idle. Parents do their best to extinguish curiosity in their children because it makes life difficult to be faced every day with a string of answerable questions about what makes fire hot or why grass grows. Children whose curiosity survives parental discipline are invited to join our university. Within the university, they go on asking their questions and trying to find the answers. In the eyes of a scholar, that is mainly what a university is for. Some of the questions that scholars ask seem to the world to be scarcely worth asking let alone answering. They ask questions too minute and specialized for you and me to understand without years of explanation. If the world inquires of one of them why he wants to know the answer to a particular question he may say, especially if he is a scientist, that the answer will in some obscure way make possible a new machine or weapon or gadget. He talks that way because he knows that we world understands and respects utility. But to you who are now part of the university, he will say that he wants to know the answer simply because he does not know it. The way a mountain climber wants to climb a mountain simply because it is there. similarly a historian when asked by outsides why he studies history may come out with argument that he has learnt to repeat on such occasions. Something about knowledge of the past making it possible to understand the present and mould the future. But if you really want to know why a historian studies the past, the answer is much simpler: something happened, and he would like to know what. All this does not mean that the answer which scholars find to their questions have no consequences. They may have enormous consequences but these seldom from the reason for asking the question or pursuing the answer. It is true that scholars can be put to work answering questions for the sake of the consequences as thousands are working now, for example, in search of a cure for cancer. But this is not the primary function of the scholar, for the consequences are usually subordinate to the satisfaction of curiosity. Choose the most appropriate passive construction of the sentence: 'He is doing his job well.'

    A
    His job is done well by him.
    B
    His job is being done well.
    C
    He has been doing his job well.
    D
    His job is being well done

  • Each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from others. But the peoples of the world have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who always tries to do as little as he possibly can and to get as much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and is ready to accept what is offered in return, is rare everywhere. Both these types are usually unconscious of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about his 'rights', he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant easy life. The man who is always doing more than his sheer talks of 'duties' feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not society to the individual. As a result of their view, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely. The man who talks about his 'rights':

    A
    avoids meeting other people
    B
    avoids hard work
    C
    knows his duties well
    D
    believes in hard work

  • Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow : Robin was handsome and well built, full of fun and good humour and very popular among his friends. His parents were proud of him though his father worried about his high-spirited nature. Robin's mother had a brother called Squire Gamwell who lived in the far away city of Nottingham. She had not met him for many years and she was also keen that Robin meet his uncle. "My Lord", she said one day to her husband. "I have not met my brother for a long time. I wish to go to Nottingham to visit him". "You cannot go alone", replied her husband. "The roads are not safe and you might be attacked by robbers. But you know it is harvest time and I cannot accompany you."Can I take Robin with me?" She asked eagerly. "He is strong enough to protect me. I know I will be safe with him." Her husband agreed. A great deal of preparation was necessary before they could start out on the long journey. They had to travel by horse, and they had to make sure there was enough food and drink to last the journey. "Good luck go with you!" called Robin's father as the two set out on the forty-mile journey. After travelling all day Robin and his mother reached Nottingham at last. Robins uncle was pleased to see them. "So this is my nephew!" he said as he helped Robin's mother down from the horse. The lad looked well built and intelligent. He yelled to his son, "He Will come and meet your cousin." Will Gamwell came to the door. He was a tall, fair-haired youth of about the same age as Robin. Robin's father was worried about his-

    A
    humour
    B
    popularity
    C
    high spirited nature
    D

    Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follow them: 1. Actually, besides the God-given natural ability to think, two more things are necessary in order to think effectively. These are knowledge and organisation. The reason you can't think clearly about certain problems is that you do not have enough relevant knowledge or experience pertaining to them. If you have no knowledge of a subject, you have no starting point for your thoughts, or you will think from a wrong premise and, of course, think incorrectly. Since thought is the "go" sign for action, it seems likely that you will act incorrectly and do the wrong thing. 2. Obviously, the next thing to worry about is how to go about obtaining this relevant knowledge. Again, you must take the time to go out and search for it, if it pertains to some particular problem you must solve. Apart from definite and particular problems, your relevant knowledge can only be acquired through experience, from society in general, from listening to others and from reading. 3. Don't think because you converse with other people almost constantly, and read quite a bit, that you are necessarily acquiring all the knowledge you are exposed to. One important ingredient may be missing – that is, interest. You must have a spontaneous and genuine interest and/or curiosity about a subject in order to gain much knowledge about it. One good way, incidentally, of being interested in others is to stop thinking of yourself so much. Listen a little more than you talk and you may learn something. Another way of acquiring knowledge is to read with your mind instead of only with your eyes. 4. The salesman who wants to have a ready answer for any argument must know his product inside out. He makes it his business to learn all he can about it. The executive who has a reputation for always coming up with good practical ideas at the conference table may appear to be pulling these ideas out of the air, but nothing could be further from the truth. He has probably spent a good deal of time studying all the problems that may come up. He is not the type who shuts off his thinking ability the moment he leaves his office. He does research into his business, he is genuinely interested in it. 5. There you have some work cut out for you. If you want to think clearly and effectively about your own line of endeavour (or anything else), learn all you can about it! On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the question What are the two more things necessary for thinking effectively besides the God-given ability to think?
