CAT Question of the Day
Six books; by six different authors; having different coloured covers are kept in a stack. Book by Tolstoy is not at the top. Tolstoy’s book does not have a blue, grey or green cover. There are at least two books between the books written by Plato and Heller. Books of authors whose names start with the same letter are not adjacent to each other. Third book from the top has a grey cover. Plato’s book had a white cover. Books having grey and green covers are adjacent to each other. Red and black covered books are at the bottom and the top, not necessarily in the same order. The other books are by Dostoevsky, Dickens and Shakespeare.

Which of the following statements are false?
  1. If Plato’s book is second from the top then cover of Heller’s book is green.
  2. If Heller’s book has a red cover then the cover of Dostoevsky’s book must be blue.
  3. If Plato’s book is the second book from the top, then the book by Heller has blue cover.

Tip of the Day
If all the coefficients of the different powers of x in an equation are positive, the equation does not have any positive root and if all the coefficients of even powers of x of an equation are of one sign and all the coefficients of the odd powers of x are of the opposite sign, the equation does not have any negative root.
Last year's Question of the day (10-Apr-13)
Answer the following based on the passage given below.

The development, defense, and contestation of preferential affirmative action has proceeded along two paths. One has been legal and administrative as courts, legislatures, and executive departments of government have made and applied rules requiring affirmative action. The other has been the path of public debate, where the practice of preferential treatment has spawned a vast literature, pro and con. Often enough, the two paths have failed to make adequate contact, with the public quarrels not always very securely anchored in any existing legal basis or practice. The ebb and flow of public controversy over affirmative action can be pictured as two spikes on a line, the first spike representing a period of passionate debate that began around 1972 and tapered off after 1980, and the second indicating a resurgence of debate in the 1990s leading up to the Supreme Court's decision in the summer of 2003 upholding certain kinds of affirmative action. 

It can be inferred from the passage that the "two paths failed to make adequate contact" mainly for which of the following reasons?

OPTIONS
 
 1)The development of affirmative action proceeded along two clearly defined paths based on the rules made by the government and on the pros and cons of affirmative action.
 2)The discussion on affirmative action was more intellectual in nature and was not based on the existing legal and administrative procedures prevalent in the society.
 3)The public controversy regarding affirmative action took two different directions in the period from 1972 to 1980 and in the period from 1990 to 2003.
 4)The courts, legislatures, and executive departments of government took decisions that were completely against public sentiments about preferential affirmation.
