Re: NIFT Previous Year Question Papers
UNDER GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN FASHION TECHNOLOGY PAPER-II - MANAGERIAL ABILITY TEST question paper is as given below: Directions (Q. Nos. 1-10) : Study the situation given below and answer these questions. On November 26, 1993, the airport police caught a youth Sravan Kumar trying to smuggle 98 dried bear gall bladders out the country. They looked like shriveled black mangoes, and no one but an expertcould say that the weird looking things came from an animal. Even experts could falter in identifying the species of the animal the gall bladders came from. This if thegall bladders came from the Himalayan brown bear as the airport police suspected, then Sravan Kumar should have been prosecuted under the law. Actually drugs made from bear gall bladder are used in Tibetan medicine as cures for various ailments including joint aches, rheumatism, cataracts, gall stones, cancer and even as aphrodisiacs. Since these drugs are highly reputed (despite their being actually useless), the intact gall bladders of bear sell in the international markets at phenomenal rates. This has caused poaching of bearsand the consequent fall in bear population. Sravan Kumar understood that he had been caught red-handed. The best way to circumvent the law was to deny that these were bear gall bladders. Consequently he asserted that the gall bladders had been taken out from pigs and not from bears. Since pig is not protected species in the Act, Sravan Kumar could goscot free. He banked upon the fact that the gall bladders of large mammals look quite alike and extremely difficult to distinguish one from the other. In effect, the question belonged to pigs or to bears. It was at this state that the airport police asked for my help. Despite common belief, forensic science doesn’t enter to solving murders, killings or assassinations. Forensic science is the application of scientific knowledge to solve any legal dispute. Since here thepolice did face a legal dilemma, forensic science could come to their rescue. During recent years, the law enforcement agencies involved in protecting wildlife are increasingly turning to forensic sciences to bring the culprits to book. Protected animals are killed either because of false beliefs in the curative powers of medicines made form their body part, or because of their valuable furs or hides or sometimes just for plain fun. Poaching of elephants for ivory is a common problem. But ivory comes from a number of sources (as many as fifteen), and often the criminals find it convenient to assert the ivoryis illegal, trading in the ivory of now extinct mammoths and mastodons is totally legal (where there would hardly a point in making it illegal, since mammoths and mastodons are already extinct). These is synthetic ivory too,which is plastic like material. Whenever smugglers are caught with ivory, their standard answer is that the ivory is from a mammoth which is completely legal. Forensic science once again comes to the rescue ofwildlife officers. It helps in differentiating Ivory coming various sources. Mammoth ivory is usually darker than elephant ivory, since it contains traces of iron which has oxidized over time, but that is not always the case. The best way ivory from various sourcescan be distinguished is by observing what are known as Schreyer lines. Ivory is criss-crossed by dentinal tubules, which can be seen under a scanning electron micro-scope (SEM) as straight lines. These tubules were first described by a German researcher Schreger, after whom these lines are named. These Schreger lines forma unique pattern in each species. For instance, whilein elephants, these lines always meet at an angle greater than 110 degrees, in mammoths, the form is a very conveniently basis for differentiating between the ivories of mammoth and elephant. 41 1. What was the question that turned up during theinvestigations that followed the confiscation of gall bladders? (a) Can experts easily distinguish between animals gallbladder and shriveled up mangoes? (b) Can experts easily distinguish between the gall bladders of bear and those of pigs? (c) Is it a matter of experience or of medical expertise that enable doctor to identify the species of the animals to which the gall bladders belong? (d) Is the police force better than doctor at identifying the species of the animals to which the gall bladders belong? 2. Why did Sravan Kumar say that the gall bladders had been taken out of pigs? (i) because pigs do not figure among the five schedules in the Indian Wildlife Protection Act of 1973. (ii) because he wanted to avoid prosecution. (iii) because he did not consider it morally wrong to say so (iv) because he had bribed a forensic scientist to support his statements (a) i only (b) i & ii only (c) i, ii, & iii only (d) ii & iii only 3. Why are the gall bladders of bears smuggled? (i) because they fetch lot of money (ii) because they are apparently useless (iii) because they are used for making drugs (a) i only (b) ii only (c) i & ii only (d) i & iii only 4. Which of the following statements is correct? (a) the weird looking things are shriveled black mangoes (b) the ‘ursus arctos’ is a protected species (c) the gall bladders of bears do not sell in the international market (d) Sravan Kumar was not a smuggler 5. What did Sravan Kumar base his hopes on? (a) the lack of expertise in the field of forensic science (b) the fact the gall bladders had been taken from bears and not pigs (c) the fact that the gall bladders of large mammals look quite alike (d) the fact that intact gall bladders sell in the international market 6. Why did the airport police seek the authors’ help? (a) because he is a detective (b) because he is an expert in the field of forensic science (c) because he is a foreigner, settled in India (d) because he is a great champion of Wild Life Protection in India 7. What was the legal dilemma? (a) whether to prosecute Sravan Kumar or to let him go scot free? (b) To determine whether the gall bladders belonged to pigs or bears. (c) To decide whether the bear is an endangered species (d) To decide whether the pig is an endangered species 8. Who are the culprits who need to be punished? (i) Poachers (ii) Those who kill animals for their organs (iii) Those who hunt protected animals for fun (a) i & ii only (b) i & iii only (c) ii only (d)i, ii, iii 9. Why is it convenient for criminals to claim that the ivory has come from a legally valid source? (a) because mammoths and mastodons have become extinct (b) because ivory comes from as many as fifteen sources (c) because ivory is impossible for anyone to distinguish one kind of ivory from another (d) because killing of elephants is prohibited in most countries 10. What is the best way of distinguishing ivory coming from various sources? (a) by testing the ivory contains traces of iron (b) by scrutinizing it closely to see whether it is darker than elephant ivory (c) by over serving the pattern of tubules on the ivory (d) by feeling the texture to note the difference |
