Comprehension
Roopa has some flowers with her when she leaves from her home. She has to worship 4 deities to whom she presents flowers. She moves from her home with X number of flowers and goes to the bank of the river nearby. She dips the number of flowers in the river and the number of flowers doubles. She then goes to the first deity and presents Y number of flowers to him. She then again goes to the river and dips the flowers in the river. The number of flowers again double. She then goes to the second deity and presents him with Y number of flowers. Then she again goes to the river and dips the flowers. The number of flowers again doubles. She then goes to the third deity, presents him with Y flowers and again goes to the river, dipping the flowers. The number of flowers again doubles. Finally, she goes to the last deity and presents him with Y number of flowers. Now she finds that she is not left with any flowers.
Question: 1
If at the time Roopa moves out from her house, she has 30 flowers, then how many did she present to each deity?
If at the time Roopa moves out from her house, she has 30 flowers, then how many did she present to each deity?
Show Hint

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Let the number of flowers Roopa has when she starts be \( X \). As she presents flowers to the deities, the number of flowers doubles each time she dips them in the river. Let’s follow the pattern step by step, starting with the number of flowers she presents to the first deity and moving through each deity.
The correct number of flowers presented is calculated based on the doubling pattern and the starting value of \( X \). Since we know she has 30 flowers, this gives us a final answer of 32 flowers.

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The minimum number of flowers presented depends on the total number of flowers Roopa has, and the pattern of doubling and presenting flowers. Since there’s not enough specific information to determine the exact initial number of flowers Roopa had, the Correct Answer is that it cannot be determined from the given details.

- The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage.
Certain codes may, of course, be so widely distributed in a specific language community or culture, and be learned at so early an age, that they appear not to be constructed – the effect of an articulation between sign and referent – but to be ‘naturally’ given. Simple visual signs appear to have achieved a ‘near-universality’ in this sense: though evidence remains that even apparently ‘natural’ visual codes are culture specific. However, this does not mean that no codes have intervened; rather, that the codes have been profoundly naturalized. The operation of naturalized codes reveals not the transparency and ‘naturalness’ of language but the depth, the habituation and the near-universality of the codes in use. They produce apparently ‘natural’ recognitions. This has the (ideological) effect of concealing the practices of coding which are present.- CAT - 2024
