Q31) Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coin is the third coin from the top. Then
a) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.
a) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.
b) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move.
c) In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move.
d) Alice has no winning strategy.

Directions for Q36 to Q40: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would remove the conventionality, artificiality, and backward-looking ness, which were characteristic; of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him acquainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limited success has reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or public school education may be expected to know something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of scientific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce.
Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty years of education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect whatever. The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience, and, until the educational or social systems are altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and develop them.
Q36) The author implies that the 'professional schoolmaster' has
a. no interest in teaching science b. thwarted attempts to enliven education
c. aided true learning d. supported the humanists
e. been a pioneer in both science and humanities.
Q37) The author’s attitude to secondary and public school education in the sciences is
a. ambivalent. b. neutral
c. supportive d. satirical
e. contemptuous
Q38) The word ‘palpably’ in the passage most nearly means
a. empirically b. obviously
c. tentatively d. markedly
e. ridiculously
Q39) The author blames all of the following for the failure to impart scientific method through the education system except
a. poor teaching b. examination methods
c. lack of direct experience d. the social and education systems
e. lack of interest on the part of students
Q40) If the author were to study current education in science to see how things have changed since he wrote the piece, he would probably be most interested in the answer to which of the following questions?
a. Do students know more about the world about them?
b. Do students spend more time in laboratories?
c. Can students apply their knowledge logically?
d. Have textbooks improved?
e. Do they respect their teachers?
