Q23:
In the eleventh century, people noticed that if a small hole were put
in one wall of a darkened room, then light coming through the
aperture would make a faint picture of the scene outside on the
opposite wall of the room. A room like this was called a camera
obscura. Artists later used a box to create a camera obscura, with a
lens in its opening to make the picture clearer. But it was not possible
to preserve the image that was produced in the box.
In 1727, Johann Heinrich Schulze mixed chalk, silver, and nitric acid
in a bottle. He found that when the mixture was subjected to light, it
became darker. In 1826, Joseph Nicephore Niepce put some paper
dipped in a light-sensitive chemical into his camera obscura, which he
left exposed in a window. The result was probably the first permanent
photographic image.
The image Niepce made was a negative, a picture where all the white
parts are black and all the black parts are white. Later, Louis
Daguerre found a way to reverse the black and white parts to make
positive prints. But when he looked at the pictures in the light, the
chemicals continued to react and the pictures went dark. In 1837, he
found a way to fix the image. These images are known as
daguerreotypes.
Many developments of photographic equipment were made in the
nineteenth century. Glass plates coated with light-sensitive chemicals
were used to produce clear, sharp, positive prints on paper. In the
1870s, George Eastman proposed using rolls of paper film, coated
with chemicals, to replace glass plates. Then, in 1888, Eastman began
manufacturing the Kodak camera, the first "modern" lightweight
camera that people could carry and use.
During the twentieth century, many technological improvements were
made. One of the most important was color film. Color film is made
from layers of chemicals that are sensitive to red, green, and blue
light, from which all other colors can be made. Despite the fact that
the space age has witnessed the creation of an array of technological
marvels, even the ability to take photographs of distant galaxies from
above the Earth's atmosphere via orbiting satellites, the basic
principles of photography have not changed since Niepce took his
first fuzzy negative pictures.

Q31:
The manager of a theater is planning a seven-day festival of movies
from the 1950s. A total of fourteen movies will be shown, each as
part of a double bill to run for one day of the festival. The fourteen
movies will include examples of five genres (types): three westerns,
two musicals movies, three animated movies, two science fiction
movies and four dramas. The schedule for the festival is subject to
the following restrictions.
Two movies of the same genre may not appear on the same double
bill, and movies of the same genre may not be shown three days in
succession.
Day 1 of the festival must include a musical movie.
Day 3 must include a science fiction movie.
Day 4 must include an animated movie.
Day 5 may not include a drama.

Which of the following is a possible schedule of double features for

days 3, 4 and 5?

Drama and science fiction; western and animated; musical and western

Drama and musical; science fiction and animated; drama and western

Q36:
The countries E, F, G, H, I, J and K form alliances. Each alliance
contains no fewer than two and no more than four countries.
Each country enters into one and only one alliance.
Only one of H or K allies with I.
K allies with just two other countries.
E and H do not ally together.

If G, I and K do not ally amongst themselves either altogether or

individually, then H is in an alliance with

F
