Passage
The unique Iron Age Experimental Centre at Lejre, about 40 km west of Copenhagen, serves as a
museum, a classroom and a place to get away from it all. How did people live during the Iron Age? How
did they support themselves? What did they eat and how did they cultivate the land? These and a
myriad of other questions prodded the pioneers of the Lejre experiment.
Living in the open and working 10 hours a day, volunteers from all over Scandinavia led by 30 experts,
built the first village in the ancient encampment in a matter of months. The house walls were of clay,
the roofs of hay - all based on original designs. Then came the second stage - getting back to the basics
of living. Families were invited to stay in the 'prehistoric village' for a week or two at a time and rough it
Iron Age-style.
Initially, this experiment proved none too easy for modern Danes accustomed to central heating, but it
convinced the centre that there was something to the Lejre project. Little by little, the modern Iron
Agers learnt that their huts were, after all, habitable. The problems were numerous - smoke belching
out from the rough-and-ready fireplaces into the rooms and so on. These problems, however, have led
to some discoveries: domed smoke ovens made of clay, for example, give out more heat and consume
less fuel than an open fire, and when correctly stoked, they are practically smokeless.
By contacting other museums, the Lejre team has been able to reconstruct ancient weaving looms and
pottery kilns. Iron Age dyeing techniques, using local natural vegetation, have also been revived, as have
ancient baking and cooking methods.
Select the correct answer option based on the passage.
Amcat-Q22: What is the main purpose of building the Iron Age experimental center?
a) Prehistoric village where people can stay for a week or two to get away from modern living
b) Replicate the Iron Age to get a better understanding of the time and people of that era
c) To discover the differences between a doomed smoke oven and an open fire to identify the more
efficient of the two
d) Revive activities of ancient women such as weaving, pottery, dyeing, cooking and baking
Answer : b
Amcat-Q23: What is the meaning of the sentence "Initially, this experiment proved none too easy for
modern Danes accustomed to central heating, but it convinced the centre that there was something to
the Lejre project."?
a) Even though staying in the huts wasn't easy for the modern people, the centre saw merit in the
simple living within huts compared to expensive apartments
b) Staying in the huts was quite easy for the modern people and the centre also saw merit in the simple
living within huts compared to expensive apartments
c) The way of living of the Iron Age proved difficult for the people of the modern age who are used to
living in luxury
d) The way of living of the Iron Age proved very easy for the people of the modern age since it was hot
inside the huts, and they were anyway used to heated rooms
Answer : c
Amcat-Q24: What can be the title of the passage?

a) Modern techniques find their way into pre-historic villages
b) Co-existence of ancient and modern times

Passage
Fasting is an act of homage to the majesty of appetite. So I think we should arrange to give up our
pleasures regularly-our food, our friends, our lovers- in order to preserve their intensity, and the
moment of coming back to them. For this is the moment that renews and refreshes both oneself and
the thing one loves. Sailors and travelers enjoyed this once, and so did hunters, I suppose. Part of the
weariness of modern life may be that we live too much on top of each other, and are entertained and
fed too regularly.
Once we were separated by hunger both from our food and families, and then we learned to value both.
The men went off hunting, and the dogs went with them; the women and children waved goodbye. The
cave was empty of men for days on end; nobody ate, or knew what to do. The women crouched by the
fire, the wet smoke in their eyes; the children wailed; everybody was hungry. Then one night there were
shouts and the barking of dogs from the hills, and the men came back loaded with meat.
This was the great reunion, and everybody gorged themselves silly, and appetite came into its own; the
long-awaited meal became a feast to remember and an almost sacred celebration of life. Now we go off
to the office and come home in the evenings to cheap chicken and frozen peas. Very nice, but too much
of it, too easy and regular, served up without effort or wanting. We eat, we are lucky, our faces are
shining with fat, but we don't know the pleasure of being hungry any more.
Too much of anything-too much music, entertainment, happy snacks, or time spent with one's friends-
creates a kind of impotence of living by which one can no longer hear, or taste, or see, or love, or
remember. Life is short and precious, and appetite is one of its guardians, and loss of appetite is a sort of
death. So if we are to enjoy this short life we should respect the divinity of appetite, and keep it eager
and not too much blunted.
Amcat-21: What is the author's main argument in the passage?
a) The olden times, when the roles of men and women were clearly divided, were far more enjoyable
than the present time
b) There is not enough effort required anymore to obtain food and hence the pleasure derived is not the
same
c) People who don't have enough to eat enjoy life much more than those who have plentiful
d) We should deny ourselves pleasures once in a while in order to whet our desires and feel more alive
Answer : d
Amcat-Q22: What are the benefits of fasting?
a) It is an act against the drawbacks of appetite
b) It brings joy in eating, and one learns to appreciate food
c) It is the method to understand how civilization evolved
d) It is a punishment for the greedy and unkind
Answer : b
Amcat-Q23: What commonality has been highlighted between the sailors and hunters?
a) Neither were fed nor entertained regularly
b) They renew and refresh themselves regularly
c) They were regularly separated from their loved ones and things they liked
d) The roles of men and women were clearly divided for both professions
Answer : c
Amcat-Q24: 'The long-awaited meal became a feast to remember and an almost sacred celebration of
life', what does this line imply?
a) After so many days of being hungry, the cave men and women felt alive once again after eating the
food
b) People respected and were thankful for getting food after days of being hungry and also of being
united with their loved ones
c) Cave men and women ate and celebrated together with the entire community making the feast really
enjoyable
d) Cave men and women enjoyed themselves in the feast and performed a ceremony to thank the Gods
for their safe return back home

Paper 4
Passage
The Kingdom of Spain was created in 1492 with the unification of the Kingdom of Castile and the
Kingdom of Aragon. For the next three centuries Spain was the most important colonial power in the
world. It was the most powerful state in Europe and the foremost global power during the 16th century
and the greater part of the 17th century. Spain established a vast empire in the Americas, stretching
from California to Patagonia, and colonies in the western Pacific.
Spain's European wars, however, led to economic damage, and the latter part of the 17th century saw a
gradual decline of power under an increasingly neglectful and inept Habsburg regime. The decline
culminated in the War of the Spanish Succession, where Spain's decline from the position of a leading
Western power, to that of a secondary one, was confirmed, although it remained the leading colonial
power.
The eighteenth century saw a new dynasty, the Bourbons, which directed considerable effort towards
the institutional renewal of the state, with some success, peaking in a successful involvement in the
American War of Independence.
The end of the eighteenth and the start of the nineteenth centuries saw turmoil unleashed throughout
Europe by the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, which finally led to a French occupation of
much of the continent, including Spain. This triggered a successful but devastating war of independence
that shattered the country and created an opening for what would ultimately be the successful
independence of Spain's mainland American colonies.
Following a period of growing political instability in the early twentieth century, in 1936 Spain was
plunged into a bloody civil war. The war ended in a nationalist dictatorship, led by Francisco Franco
which controlled the Spanish government until 1975.

Amcat-Q1: What was the result of Napoleanic wars?

Amcat-Q9: A person wanted to withdraw X rupees and Y paisa from the bank. But cashier made a
mistake and gave him Y rupees and X paisa. Neither the person nor the cashier noticed that.After
spending 20 paisa, the person counts the money. And to his surprise, he has double the amount he
wanted to withdraw.
Find X and Y. (1 Rupee = 100 Paisa)
Answer :
he wants to withdraw x rupee and y paisa
but he obtained y rupee and x paisa after spending 20 paisa remaining amount = y rupee and (x-20)
paisa
it is given that y rupee (x-20) paisa = 2(x rupee y paisa)
on comparison we get y = 2x and x-20 = 2y but on solving we shall get x as a negative number which is a
contradiction
an other case is also possible
y rupee (x-20) paisa = 2(x rupee y paisa)
so y rupee (x-20) paisa = 2(x rupee) 2(y paisa)
or y rupee (x-20) paisa = (2x+1) rupee (2y-100) paisa
y = 2x+1, x-20 = 2y-100
on taking y = 2x+1 in second equation, we get x-20 = 2(2x+1)-100
or x-20 = 4x+2-100 or 3x = 78 or x = 26, y = 53
Amcat-Q10: Integer x = 40, y = 35, z = 20, w = 10

AMCAT-Q1 : A system that can run multiple concurrent jobs on a single CPU have a process of
choosing which task hast to run when, and how to break them up, called “scheduling”. The
Round-Robin policy for scheduling runs each job for a fixed amount of time before switching to
the next job. The waiting time for a job is the total time that it spends waiting to be run. Each
job arrives at particular time for scheduling and certain time to run, when a new job arrives, It is
scheduled after existing jobs already waiting for CPU time
Given list of job submission, calculate the average waiting time for all jobs using Round-Robin
policy.
The input to the function waitingTimeRobin consist of two integer arrays containing job arrival
and run times, an integer n representing number of jobs and am integer q representing the
fixed amount of time used by Round-Robin policy. The list of job arrival time and run time
sorted in ascending order by arrival time. For jobs arriving at same time, process them in the
order they are found in the arrival array. You can assume that jobs arrive in such a way that CPU
is never idle.
The function should return floating point value for the average waiting time which is calculated
using round robin policy.
Assume 0<=jobs arrival time < 100 and 0<job run time <100.
