Read the passage given below, and answer the questions based on your understanding of the passage. (Question Nos. 46-50)
                Invention is the creation of an idea that can be translated to practice. It is also the process of bringing new technology into being. Invention is goal directed, the process is orderly, and it is essentially an intellectual process. An inventor is generally not a big reservoir of existing knowledge or of past failures. A substantial part of a scientist’s time is spent in collecting facts. The greater a scientist’s familiarity with the great scientific works, the greater will be his own power of invention. Ingenuity is the younger brother of imagination. Theoretical creation is an intermediate step  between invention and discovery. A scientist, who is familiar with a number of methods attached to a problem, is most likely to solve the greatest number of problems.
                Invention is the basic ingredient of innovation. Innovation is of two kinds, i.e., in product and service. It is a slow process. Innovations which started several years ago may bear fruit now. Innovation involves the bringing of an invention into commercial use. In some cases, invention and innovation merge into one another. Invention and innovation have been the foundations of industrial development in most advanced countries. Innovation brings about competition and competition brings about efficiency. Of the total innovation process, research is only a part. Research may invent, but invention can only be utilized by the complicated and complex process of innovation. Innovation is more often the result of recognizing and adapting an idea than of invention a new one. Utilization of technical information including research outputs can result in an industrial innovation.
                Innovators achieve success, but not imitations. In the past, innovation came from individual scientists. Individual inventors were responsible for innovation. In modern industry it is rarely the case, teams of scientists are really responsible for inventions and innovations. Success in invention and innovation depends not only on originality and imagination but also on knowing what and how to invent and innovate.

Read the following passage and answer the questions 96-100 :
Computing is in nature a problemdriven science and therefore PBL approaches have been applied to teach various subjects. Kay et al. (2000) describe
PBL in foundation courses in computer science. The course is driven by specific problems related to programming skills and the instructors have set specific criteria to measure the success of their approach at the end of each problem. Having applied the approach for three years the authors of the study conclude that the PBL approach promoted the collaboration among students and their problem solving abilities.
A problem-based approach is used in a software development project (O’Kelly and Gibson, 2006). The authors claim that, with this approach, students are provided with the freedom to think for themselves, activate their prior knowledge and acquire new knowledge in an explorative and creative way. Another study supports that lecture based approaches are not stimulating and the computer skills learnt are not transferable to other situations (Lai, 2005). The author applied PBL in teaching pre-school teachers popular computer applications such as Microsoft Office.
Based on their evaluation of the activities, the author concludes that the course was motivational and also promotes higher order thinking skills.
Ellis et al. (1998) refer to the full problem-based learning and the guided problem-based learning approaches. In full problem-based learning, the nature of the problem guides and drives the entire learning experience. There are no formal expositions of knowledge from the “expert”, and the students develop resources based on requirements they determine. In guided problem-based learning, students have a problem to solve as a group.

(B) Exploration of literature
(C) Acquire soft skills
(D) Freedom to think
Ans: D
 
98. What are the limitations of lecture based approach ?
(A) Stimulating
(B) Not stimulating
(C) Not repetitive
(D) Transferable to others
Ans: B
 
99. Which types of approaches are described by Ellis ?
(A) Group based
(B) Expert based
(C) Lecture based
(D) Guided problem based
Ans: D
 
100. Which approach has no formal exposition of knowledge from experts ?
(A) Full problem based
(B) Guided problem based
(C) Expert based
(D) Both (A) and (B)
Ans: D
