CAT Question of the Day
The question below contains a paragraph followed by alternative summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the paragraph.

Looking at it almost three centuries later, one realizes that no work was more seminal in the development of modern physics and astronomy than Newton's Principia. Its conclusion that the force retaining the planets in their orbits is one in kind with terrestrial gravity ended forever the view dating back at least to Aristotle that the celestial realm calls for one science and the sub lunar realm, another. Just as the Preface to its first edition had proposed, the ultimate success of Newton's theory of gravity made the identification of the fundamental forces of nature and their characterization in laws the primary pursuit of physics.

OPTIONS
 
 1)Viewed retrospectively, Newton's theory of gravity was vital for the development of modern physics and made the identification of the fundamental forces of nature its primary pursuit.
 2)Newton's Principia ended the view that terrestrial gravity was different from the celestial realm and gave it the direction of finding the forces of nature and their characterization.
 3)Newton's Principia is the most influential work in modern physics and its ultimate success was in making the identification of the fundamental forces of nature its chief purpose.
 4)Newton's Principia ended the Aristotelian view earth was different from the celestial realm and made the pursuit of gravity the chief purpose of modern science.
Tip of the Day
Natural numbers ending in 0, 1, 5 and 6 have unit's digit cyclicity of 1. Numbers ending in 2, 3, 7 and 8 have a cyclicity of 4 and numbers ending in 4 have a cyclicity of 2. In generel, after every four consecutive powers of any natural number, the digit in the unit's place repeats itself.
