Read the following statements carefully:
Statement 1: China has used the Market system mechanism without losing political commitment to create additional social and economic opportunities.
Statement 2: India, Pakistan, and China have similar physical endowments but totally different Political systems.
Statement 1 is true: China has adopted a marketoriented approach since its economic reforms, while still maintaining strict political control. This approach has created additional social and economic opportunities for its citizens.
Statement 2 is true: While India, Pakistan, and China have similar geographical endowments, their political systems differ significantly. India is a democracy, Pakistan has had military interventions, and China is a oneparty communist state.
Conclusion: Both statements are true, reflecting the economic and political differences between these countries.
From the following data, estimate the value of Net Indirect Taxes (NIT):

Eight students (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) are playing musical chairs. The figure indicates their order of position at the start of the game. They play the game by moving forward in a circle in the clockwise direction.
After the 1st round, the 4th student behind P leaves the game.
After the 2nd round, the 5th student behind Q leaves the game.
After the 3rd round, the 3rd student behind V leaves the game.
After the 4th round, the 4th student behind U leaves the game.
Who all are left in the game after the 4th round?

The following figures show three curves generated using an iterative algorithm. The total length of the curve generated after 'Iteration n' is:

Two players \( A \) and \( B \) are playing a game. Player \( A \) has two available actions \( a_1 \) and \( a_2 \). Player \( B \) has two available actions \( b_1 \) and \( b_2 \). The payoff matrix arising from their actions is presented below:

Let \( p \) be the probability that player \( A \) plays action \( a_1 \) in the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium of the game.
Then the value of p is (round off to one decimal place).
Here are two analogous groups, Group-I and Group-II, that list words in their decreasing order of intensity. Identify the missing word in Group-II.
