Read the passage below and answer the questions based on understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 46 – 50) :
Communication media have evolved along with technological transformations and progress. Man’s inborn need to communicate led to the first medium for the global transmission of information – the printing press, followed by the rotary printing press. But the need for information has always been in continuous growth, so that inventions such as telegraph had to be adopted for information transmission by waves. Indeed, the radio was one of the society’s great technological and democratizing advances. But there is no doubt that television has succeeded in making McLuhan’s idea of the existence of a television tribe a reality. Large companies, which control access to information by methods that are close to being a monopoly, wage fierce battles in order to control mass media, especially television.
The “fourth power’ collects, disseminates and preserves a great quantity of information. This information is thematically diverse and exists in a wide variety of formats and media. In order to control such an important business asset, almost all television broadcasters have set a documentation service that is responsible for satisfying journalists’ information needs and for the maintenance of the firm’s intellectual and cultural heritage.
Documentation centres are just the visible aspects of a great documentation web involving different classes of documents, varied media and the diverse requirements of end users. The computerization of documentation structures is a reality that is sustained by a constant exchange of information between documentalists and communication scientists, aimed at enabling the preservation of information and access to this information by means of a standard set of parameters.
The thematic descriptors must describe, viewed and referred content in the audiovisual documents with precision. Thematic identification has a special importance since it is the usual method for accessing information. For these fields, different television companies use different proprietary ad hoe tools, with thesauri being the formula employed to control vocabulary. There have also been experiments aimed at developing effective tools based on faceted classifications. The
fact that audio-visual information has to be analysed from two different perspectives in order to understand the challenges offered by this kind of document should be considered. The visual and the sonorous sometimes are complementary, and consequently must be studied and analysed by the information manager. Sound and visual tracks do often collaborate to create a joint informative message, but it is also very common the case where both contribute to create quite different meanings.

Read the passage below and answer the questions based on understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 46 – 50) :
Communication media have evolved along with technological transformations and progress. Man’s inborn need to communicate led to the first medium for the global transmission of information – the printing press, followed by the rotary printing press. But the need for information has always been in continuous growth, so that inventions such as telegraph had to be adopted for information transmission by waves. Indeed, the radio was one of the society’s great technological and democratizing advances. But there is no doubt that television has succeeded in making McLuhan’s idea of the existence of a television tribe a reality. Large companies, which control access to information by methods that are close to being a monopoly, wage fierce battles in order to control mass media, especially television.
The “fourth power’ collects, disseminates and preserves a great quantity of information. This information is thematically diverse and exists in a wide variety of formats and media. In order to control such an important business asset, almost all television broadcasters have set a documentation service that is responsible for satisfying journalists’ information needs and for the maintenance of the firm’s intellectual and cultural heritage.
Documentation centres are just the visible aspects of a great documentation web involving different classes of documents, varied media and the diverse requirements of end users. The computerization of documentation structures is a reality that is sustained by a constant exchange of information between documentalists and communication scientists, aimed at enabling the preservation of information and access to this information by means of a standard set of parameters.
The thematic descriptors must describe, viewed and referred content in the audiovisual documents with precision. Thematic identification has a special importance since it is the usual method for accessing information. For these fields, different television companies use different proprietary ad hoe tools, with thesauri being the formula employed to control vocabulary. There have also been experiments aimed at developing effective tools based on faceted classifications. The
fact that audio-visual information has to be analysed from two different perspectives in order to understand the challenges offered by this kind of document should be considered. The visual and the sonorous sometimes are complementary, and consequently must be studied and analysed by the information manager. Sound and visual tracks do often collaborate to create a joint informative message, but it is also very common the case where both contribute to create quite different meanings.

Read the passage given below, and answer the questions based on your understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 96-100)
One of the problems with automatic classification techniques is that they normally involve processing the whole collection in response to every request; this is inefficient, because we know in advance that a substantial part of the collection will not be relevant to the request. One of the major objectives of an information retrieval system is to allow the user to discard with the minimum of effort any items not relevant to an enquiry. Classification schemes set out to achieve this by grouping items according to specified characteristics; provided that our specification meets the user’s needs, this grouping will be helpful, but if it does not, our organization of information may prove to be a positive hindrance instead of a help. There has been a substantial amount of research into computer techniques which would achieve the same end, by reducing the size of the collection to be searched in response to any given request. The classical Aristotelian definition of classification states that a class consists of a set of objects having a given characteristic in common, possession of that characteristic being a necessary and sufficient condition for class membership. A document may be described by a number of terms, derived or assigned, and that we expect to retrieve in answer to a request a set of documents which match the request closely but rarely exactly. This arises because the terms used to describe documents fall into a number of classes, and we can never be exhaustive in our characterization. In other words, we hope to retrieve a set of documents which maximizes the match between the query and the description of the classes into which the desired documents fall, without expecting the match to be exact in classical terms. Aristotelian classification assumes a single essential element; documentary classification assumes that related document will share a number of elements, without necessarily having all of those specified in a particular query.
96. One of the problems of automatic classification is that :
(A) It does not process the whole collection to answer a query.
(B) It processes the part collection to answer a query.
(C) It processes the whole collection to answer a query.
(D) The substantial part of the processed collection will be relevant.

Read the passage given below, and answer the questions based on your understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 96-100)
One of the problems with automatic classification techniques is that they normally involve processing the whole collection in response to every request; this is inefficient, because we know in advance that a substantial part of the collection will not be relevant to the request. One of the major objectives of an information retrieval system is to allow the user to discard with the minimum of effort any items not relevant to an enquiry. Classification schemes set out to achieve this by grouping items according to specified characteristics; provided that our specification meets the user’s needs, this grouping will be helpful, but if it does not, our organization of information may prove to be a positive hindrance instead of a help. There has been a substantial amount of research into computer techniques which would achieve the same end, by reducing the size of the collection to be searched in response to any given request. The classical Aristotelian definition of classification states that a class consists of a set of objects having a given characteristic in common, possession of that characteristic being a necessary and sufficient condition for class membership. A document may be described by a number of terms, derived or assigned, and that we expect to retrieve in answer to a request a set of documents which match the request closely but rarely exactly. This arises because the terms used to describe documents fall into a number of classes, and we can never be exhaustive in our characterization. In other words, we hope to retrieve a set of documents which maximizes the match between the query and the description of the classes into which the desired documents fall, without expecting the match to be exact in classical terms. Aristotelian classification assumes a single essential element; documentary classification assumes that related document will share a number of elements, without necessarily having all of those specified in a particular query.
96. One of the problems of automatic classification is that :
(A) It does not process the whole collection to answer a query.
(B) It processes the part collection to answer a query.
(C) It processes the whole collection to answer a query.
(D) The substantial part of the processed collection will be relevant.
Ans: C
97. One of the major objectives of an IR system is
(A) To help the user to express their actual need.

Ans: B
98. What does the research in computer techniques aim at?
(A) To increase the size of the collection to be searched not in response to any given request.
(B) To increase the size of the collection to be searched in response to any given request.
(C) To reduce the size of the collection to be searched in response to any given request.
(D) To reduce the size of the collection to be searched not in response to any given request.
Ans: C
99. Aristotelian definition of classification states that :
(A) No class should have common characteristics.
(B) A class should consist of a set of common terms.
(C) A class should consist of related common characteristics.

Ans: D
100. Documentary classification assumes that
(A) A single element is essential.
(B) Related documents will share a number of elements having all those specified in a particular query.
(C) Related documents will share a number of elements, without necessarily having all those specified in a particular query.
