Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Throughout history, the intricacies of the human mind have been the subject of fascination and inquiry. From ancient philosophers to modern-day neuroscientists, the workings of the brain have been studied and analysed in an attempt to unravel its mysteries. However, despite centuries of research, much remains unknown about the complexities of human cognition and consciousness.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the human mind is its ability to create and imagine. The human mind has the capacity to conceptualise and bring into being ideas that were previously unknown or unimaginable, from artistic expression to scientific discovery. The process of creativity has captured the attention of scholars and laypeople alike and is both enigmatic and awe-inspiring.
There have been many theories proposed to explain the process of creativity. Some suggest that it is a purely subconscious process, while others argue that creativity is a result of conscious effort and intentional problem-solving. Still others suggest that creativity arises from a combination of conscious and subconscious processes.
Despite the ongoing debate over the nature of creativity, one thing is clear: it is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon. Creativity can manifest in a wide range of human activities, from the creation of art and literature to the development of scientific theories and inventions. It can occur in both individual and collective contexts and can be driven by a variety of factors such as curiosity, passion, or the desire for recognition.
Creativity also has the potential to bring about positive change in the world. Throughout history, creative individuals and groups have used their talents to address social, political, and environmental challenges, often inspiring others to take action and make a difference. From the abolitionist movement to the civil rights movement to the environmental movement, creativity has played a crucial role in promoting social justice and positive change.
Despite the many benefits of creativity, it is not without its challenges. The process of creative expression can be fraught with obstacles, from self-doubt and insecurity to external pressures and constraints. Moreover, not all creative ideas are successful or well-received, and many artists and innovators face rejection and criticism as they seek to bring their ideas to fruition. Despite these challenges, however, the human drive to create and imagine persists.
Individuals and groups continue to harness the power of creativity to make a difference in the world. From the humblest amateur artist to the most celebrated innovator, the human capacity for creativity remains one of our greatest strengths and sources of inspiration.
Question:
According to the passage, what is one of the challenges of creative expression?

Option 1: The absence of external pressures and constraints.

Option 2: The limited capacity of the human mind.

Option 3: The lack of appreciation for creative ideas.

Option 4: The overemphasis on conscious problem-solving.

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Question : If $x^{2}+y^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}=4$, then the value of $x^{2}+y^{2}$ is:

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 16

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : $x^{2}+y^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}-4=0$
$⇒x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-2+y^{2}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}-2=0$
$⇒(x-\frac{1}{x})^2+(y-\frac{1}{y})^2 = 0$
So, $x-\frac{1}{x}=0$ and $y-\frac{1}{y}=0$
⇒ $x^2-1=0$ and $y^2-1=0$
⇒ $x^2 = 1$ and $y^2 = 1$
$\therefore x^{2}+y^{2}= 1 + 1 = 2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
