In the given text, the blanks are numbered (i)—(iv). Select the best match for all the blanks.
From the ancient Athenian arena to the modern Olympic stadiums, athletics \( (i) \) the potential for a spectacle. The crowd \( (ii) \) with bated breath as the Olympian artist twists his body, stretching the javelin behind him. Twelve strides in, he begins to cross-step. Six cross-steps \( (iii) \) in an abrupt stop on his left foot. As his body \( (iv) \) like a door turning on a hinge, the javelin is launched skyward at a precise angle.
Show Hint
- hold, waits, culminates, pivot
- holds, wait, culminates, pivot
- hold, wait, culminate, pivots
- holds, waits, culminate, pivots
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
"waits" (ii) agrees with the singular "crowd",
"culminate" (iii) fits the sequence, and "pivots"
(iv) corresponds to the action of the body. Conclusion. The correct answer is \( (4) \).

The 12 musical notes are given as \( C, C^\#, D, D^\#, E, F, F^\#, G, G^\#, A, A^\#, B \). Frequency of each note is \( \sqrt[12]{2} \) times the frequency of the previous note. If the frequency of the note C is 130.8 Hz, then the ratio of frequencies of notes F# and C is:
- In a computer game, each move requires pressing a button. When the button is pressed for the first time, as a move, the computer randomly chooses a cell from a 4x4 grid of sixteen cells and puts an "X" mark on that cell. When the button is pressed subsequently, the computer randomly chooses a cell from the remaining unmarked cells and puts an "X" mark on that cell. This goes on till the end of the game. The game ends when either all the cells in any one row, or all the cells in any one column, are marked with "X". What is the maximum possible number of times a player has to press the button to finish the game?

The diagram below represents a road network connecting five towns, namely Meeren, Lannisport, Winterfell, Oldtown, and Gulltown. The maximum speed limits along any stretch of road are as shown in the diagram. The straight road that connects Meeren to Gulltown passes through Oldtown. Another straight road, running west to east, connecting Meeren to Winterfell, passes through Lannisport. Further, two straight roads, one from Lannisport to Oldtown and another from Winterfell to Gulltown, are perpendicular to the road joining Meeren to Winterfell, and run from south to north.
Consider a car always travelling at the maximum permissible speed, and always taking the shortest route. It takes 1 hour to reach Oldtown from Meeren, 2 hours to reach Gulltown from Oldtown, and 45 minutes to reach Winterfell from Gulltown. (For this problem, always consider the shortest route in terms of distance.)

Consider a process with transfer function: \[ G_p = \frac{2e^{-s}}{(5s + 1)^2} \] A first-order plus dead time (FOPDT) model is to be fitted to the unit step process reaction curve (PRC) by applying the maximum slope method. Let \( \tau_m \) and \( \theta_m \) denote the time constant and dead time, respectively, of the fitted FOPDT model. The value of \( \frac{\tau_m}{\theta_m} \) is __________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
Given: For \( G = \frac{1}{(\tau s + 1)^2} \), the unit step output response is: \[ y(t) = 1 - \left(1 + \frac{t}{\tau}\right)e^{-t/\tau} \] The first and second derivatives of \( y(t) \) are: \[ \frac{dy(t)}{dt} = \frac{t}{\tau^2} e^{-t/\tau} \] \[ \frac{d^2y(t)}{dt^2} = \frac{1}{\tau^2} \left(1 - \frac{t}{\tau}\right) e^{-t/\tau} \]- GATE CH - 2025
