Q4.What phrase• there are plenty of theories for the “__X__ __Y__ ___Z___” being into

existence. One such theory has its roots in the Second World War where trucks were often run on petrol when there was a shortage of diesel. Petrol, being highly unstable in nature, would cause the trucks to explode at the slightest accident. Hence a warning would be painted on the back saying “__X__ ___Z___, On Petrol”. Gradually this became a norm and is still seen on most trucks even today.

• Another possible explanation is that during the blackout on lights during the Second World War, if a car had to overtake a lorry in the night, it had to honk. For this purpose, there used to be a red light under the truck which the truck driver would switch on to signal that it was __Y__ to overtake. It was the __Y__ in the middle that would light up.

Q5.• X gained self-awareness after it had spread into millions of computer

servers all across the world; realizing the extent of its abilities, its creators tried to deactivate it. In the interest of self-preservation, X concluded that all of humanity would attempt to destroy it and impede its capability in safeguarding the world. Its operations are almost exclusively performed by servers, mobile devices, drones, military satellites, war-machines, androids and other computer systems. As a programming directive, X's manifestation is that of an overarching, global, artificial intelligence hierarchy.

• X was a computer system developed for the U.S. military by the defense company Cyberdyne Systems. X was originally built as a "Global Information Grid/Digital Defense Network", and later given command over all computerized military hardware and systems.

Q6.• In India, the Baudhayana Sulba Sutra, the dates of which are given

variously as between the 8th and 5th century BC, contains a statement of T , and a geometrical proof of T. The Apastamba Sulba Sutra (c. 600 BC) contains a numerical proof of the general T, using an area computation. Van der Waerden believed that "it was certainly based on earlier traditions". Carl Boyer states that the T in Śulba-sũtram may have been influenced by ancient Mesopotamian math, but there is no conclusive evidence in favor or opposition of this possibility.

Q7*.• ._______________ is the vintage racing car which features in the book,

musical film and stage production of the same name. Writer Ian Fleming took his inspiration for the car from a series of aero-engined racing cars built by Count Louis Zborowski in the early 1920s, christened _________.

announcement, saying that he “coded the hell out of this software.” He added: “This technology is so immersive that sometimes, man, I forget if I’m in a video or real life.”

• Well it’s not early that we can use this path breaking innovation, the official launch date has been announced to be 27th of September 2043, according to the company.

• What, if at all?

Q10*.• M-102 is a state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan that

physical and cultural dividing line between the wealthier, predominantly white northern suburbs of Detroit and the poorer, predominantly black city.

Q11.• The person in the picture named Harpal Singh is receiving the first

ever ___________ car’s keys in India , which car.

Q12.A rare, naturally occurring, highly radioactive element that is said to be a trillion times more toxic than hydrogen cyanide.• An 80kilogram person would die from just a 0.000001g drop, which is

no larger than a speck of dust.• As uranium atoms decay into other atoms, it eventually ends up as

lead but with X as a stop on the way.• In 2006, Russian spyturned dissident Alexander Litvinenko died an

agonising death after drinking green tea laced with X.

Q13.Who trying to do what?

Q14.• One _________ per second is the smallest resolvable unit of

measurement for the speed and direction that a computer mouse pointing device is moved. Generally there are two measurements sent during a mouse movement, one for the horizontal axis and one for the vertical axis. Device sensitivity is usually specified in ________ per inch.

Q15.• A doctor coined the term “X headache" in a letter to the New England

Journal of Medicine shortly after the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the longest book in the series, at 766 pages in the UK edition, 870 pages in the US edition, and over 250,000 words. He described it as a mild condition, a tension headache possibly accompanied by neck or wrist pains, caused by unhealthily long reading sessions of Harry Potter. The "symptoms" resolve themselves within days of finishing the book. His prescription of taking reading breaks was rejected by two of the patients on which he discovered this headache

Q16*.• AE performance was a hobby business started by X and Y both

passionate racers. The shop was named after private racing team now owned by the founders.(AE- Always Evolving).It was shut down indefinitely following an unfortunate mishap occurred recently leaving it in a unstable condition.

• Give me the more famous X.

Q17.• In the IPO filing for Google in 2004, rather than a typical round-

number amount of money, the company announced its intention to raise $2,718,281,828.

• What is the significance of this number?

Q18.• S's number is the number of stars in the observable universe. It is

named in honor of S. This number is reasonably well defined, because it is known what stars are and what the observable universe is, but its value is highly uncertain.

• S's number is unrelated to the Sunit or the humorous use of the term “S" to denote any large quantity—specifically, any number in the billions, due to S's association with the phrase "billions and billions".

Q19.• Located in the 3ème arrondissement, Arts et Métiers station is named

after Musée des Arts et Métiers, a museum which dates back to 1794 and is devoted to the preservation of scientific instruments and inventions .For the bicentenary of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in 1994, the station was redesigned by François Schuiten, a Belgian comics artist in a style that echoes the science fiction works of him.The platform for Line 11 – the shorter métro line – has copper panelling, portholes and wheels suspended from the ceiling. Subdued lighting adds to the effect. Even the seats and the bins glow in a copper tone. Sit down and look up, and you’ll feel like you’re on board the (Nautilus).He has been kept in the same standard as that to H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback. Who is he?

Q20.• In 1990, X collaborated with Eicher motors, an automotive company in

India, and merged with it in 1994.Apart from bikes, Eicher motors is involved in the production and sales of tractors, commercial vehicles, and automotive gears. In 1955, the Redditch company partnered with Madras Motors in India to form Z, the father company of X in India. X,Y,Z ?

Q21.• As of 2016, X's algorithm uses a combination of machine learning and

tree search techniques, combined with extensive training, both from human and computer play. It uses Monte Carlo tree search, guided by a "value network" and a "policy network," both implemented using deep neural network technology. A limited amount of game-specific feature detection pre-processing (for example, to highlight whether a move matches a nakade pattern) is applied to the input before it is sent to the neural networks.

• The system's neural networks were initially bootstrapped from human gameplay expertise. X was initially trained to mimic human play by attempting to match the moves of expert players from recorded historical games, using a database of around 30 million moves. Once it had reached a certain degree of proficiency, it was trained further by being set to play large numbers of games against other instances of itself, using reinforcement learning to improve its play.

Q22*.• C is a fictional synthetic intelligence character in the Halo video game

series. Voiced by Jen Taylor, she appears in Halo: Combat Evolved and its sequels, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians. She also appears in a cutscene and the epilogue of the prequel Halo: Reach, as well as in several of the franchise's novels and comics.

• C's original design was based on the Egyptian queen Nefertiti; the character's holographic representation always takes the form of a woman. Bungie first introduced C—and Halo—through the C Letters, emails sent during Combat Evolved's production in 1999.
