Questions 61 - 65 carry two marks each.
61. The recent news that local hospitals have had to reroute seriously ill patients because
the community's critical-care beds are full is worrisome. Earlier this week, four of the
six local hospitals ran out of space for the critically ill and had to turn people away.
Federal law requires hospitals to treat anyone who walks in. As a result of having to
treat large numbers of uninsured patients, the emergency rooms often become an
economic drain on their hospitals. Doctors now want to set up their own free standing
ambulatory surgical facilities and diagnostic centers. Critics contend this would leave
hospitals with less revenue and the same number of indigents to treat.
A bill was recently introduced to phase out the need for a "certificate of public need"
for non-hospital based facilities, provided those facilities met stringent regulations and
requirements. This would have made it easier to set up alternative facilities to help
indigent patients. The finance committee balked at the hefty price and killed the bill,
another
casualty
of
a
failed
legislative
session.
Unfortunately, the problem of access to medical care for those of limited means is not
going to go away anytime soon and, despite the well-intended regulations, too-full
hospitals compromise everyone's welfare. Healthy competition with small
neighborhood surgical and diagnostic centers may be what is necessary to help dampen
rising medical costs. But under no circumstances should the hospitals be forced to care
for everybody without health insurance while competitors operate free of the burden of
caring for those unable to pay.
According to the passage, which of the following is cited as a factor which has
contributed to the overburdening of hospitals?
I. Failure to pass legislation which would have mitigated the problem
II. Limited access to medical care for the poor
III. Federal law
(A) I only
(C) I and II
(B) III only
(D) I, II, and III
62. Ram and Hari started from A and B, towards B and A at 6.00 am and 7.00 am

destinations. Ram reaching B turns back and catches up with Hari before Hari reaches A
at 11.00 am. At what time will Hari reach A.
(A) 7.00 pm
(B) 4.00 pm
(C) 5.00 pm
(D) 6.00 pm

63. A person has the capability of thinking 100 lines of code in five minutes and can type
100 lines of code in 10 minutes. He takes a break for five minutes after every ten
minutes. How many lines of codes will he complete typing after an hour?
(A) 100
(B) 250
(C) 350
(D) 600
64. A solid, four-inch cube of wood is coated with blue paint on all six sides. Then the cube
