Journalism / Mass Communication QUESTION #6375

The Press Council of Pakistan is described in the textbook as “a euphemistic connotation of censorship.” According to Article 19 of the Constitution of Pakistan (1973), freedom of the press is guaranteed subject to reasonable restrictions in the interest of which of the following?

Only national security and defence
Only morality and decency
The glory of Islam, integrity/security/defence of Pakistan, friendly relations with foreign states, public order, decency, morality, contempt of court, defamation, or incitement to an offence✔️
Unlimited freedom — no restrictions are permissible under any circumstances

Correct Answer Logic:

Article 19 of the Constitution of Pakistan (1973) reads: “Every citizen shall have the right of freedom of speech and expression, and there shall be freedom of the press, subject to any reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the interest of the glory of Islam or the integrity, security, or defence of Pakistan or any part thereof, friendly relations with foreign states, public order, decency or morality or in relation to the contempt of court, defamation or incitement to an offence.” This is a comprehensive list of permissible restrictions. Critics of Pakistani press law note that the breadth of these restrictions — especially “glory of Islam” and “public order” — gives governments considerable room to restrict media freedom. The Freedom of Information Ordinance 2002, while acknowledging citizens' right to know, was also criticised for its restrictive list of disclosable records and 21-day response timeframe, which were seen as undermining the public's true right of access to government information.

General Ability and Fire Fighting QUESTION #5592

Question 1123

Which of the following is an example of the 'Starving' method of fire extinguishment?

Applying CO2 gas to the fire
Turning off a gas valve✔️
Using a fire blanket

Correct Answer Logic:

Starving a fire means removing the fuel source. Turning off a gas valve removes the fuel supply and therefore extinguishes the fire.

Psychology QUESTION #9729

Question 1124

According to the James-Lange Theory of emotion, which sequence correctly describes how emotions arise?

Stimulus → Emotion → Physiological response
Stimulus → Physiological response → Emotion✔️
Stimulus → Simultaneous emotion and physiological response
Stimulus → Cognitive appraisal → Emotion

Correct Answer Logic:

The James-Lange Theory proposes that emotions are the result of our perception of bodily (physiological) changes, not the cause. The sequence is: stimulus → physiological arousal → conscious emotional experience. For example, we feel afraid because we notice our heart racing, not the other way around. This theory is contrasted with the Cannon-Bard Theory, which argues that emotion and physiological response occur simultaneously.

Geography QUESTION #6305

Question 1127

Thermohaline circulation in oceans is primarily driven by:

Wind stress at ocean surface
Density differences caused by temperature and salinity variations✔️
Tidal forces from moon and sun
Coriolis effect deflecting ocean currents

Correct Answer Logic:

Thermohaline circulation (the global ocean conveyor belt) is driven by density gradients created by temperature (thermo-) and salinity (-haline) variations. Cold, salty water sinks in polar regions, driving deep ocean circulation, while warm water flows poleward at the surface.

Agronomy QUESTION #2028

Question 1128

In irrigation scheduling, the concept of 'allowable depletion' refers to:

The amount of water that can be applied per irrigation event
The fraction of total available soil water that can be depleted before crop stress occurs, typically 50% for most field crops✔️
The depth of irrigation water lost to evaporation
The time interval between two consecutive irrigations

Correct Answer Logic:

Allowable depletion (management allowable depletion, MAD) is the fraction of plant-available water (PAW) that can be extracted before plant stress affects yield. For most field crops, MAD = 50%, meaning irrigation is triggered when 50% of PAW is depleted to prevent yield loss.

Administration QUESTION #9609

Question 1131

A central bank raises its policy interest rate by 200 basis points. Trace the complete transmission mechanism to a small manufacturing firm's investment decision.

Higher policy rate → higher interbank lending rates → higher commercial lending rates → higher cost of capital for the firm → reduced NPV of investment projects → deferral of capital expenditure✔️
Higher policy rate → lower bond prices → higher equity risk premium → firm issues more equity to avoid expensive debt → diluted ownership but unchanged investment level
Higher policy rate → currency appreciation → cheaper imports → lower input costs for the firm → improved margins offset higher borrowing costs → net investment effect is neutral
Higher policy rate → reduced government borrowing → fiscal surplus → tax cuts → higher consumer demand → firm increases investment to meet demand

Correct Answer Logic:

The monetary policy transmission mechanism: policy rate rise → interbank rate rise → commercial bank lending rates rise (cost of debt increases) → firm's WACC rises → projects that were previously NPV-positive at lower WACC become NPV-negative at higher WACC → marginal investment projects are deferred or cancelled → aggregate capital expenditure falls. This is the investment channel of monetary transmission, and it explains why interest rate policy is the primary tool for managing aggregate demand and investment cycles.

Law QUESTION #9524

Question 1134

A decree is passed jointly against B, C and D for Rs. 900,000, each being jointly and severally liable. B pays the entire Rs. 900,000 to the decree-holder A and fully satisfies the decree. B then seeks to recover proportionate contribution from C and D. Can B do so through the same execution proceedings?

No; once B pays, all rights are extinguished including B's right of contribution
Yes; B can apply for execution against C and D for contribution in the same proceedings
Yes; B is deemed a decree-holder to the extent of the other shares
No; B's right to recover contribution from C and D is by way of a separate suit; the decree between A and the judgment-debtors cannot be used by one judgment-debtor against another in execution✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

The execution proceedings under a decree are for the benefit of the decree-holder against judgment-debtors. One judgment-debtor who pays the full amount satisfies the decree, discharging the others. B's right of contribution from C and D arises from separate equitable or legal principles and must be pursued by a separate suit, not through the original execution proceedings.

Chemistry QUESTION #5554

Question 1138

In which of the following processes does the bond order increase AND the magnetic character change from paramagnetic to diamagnetic?

$NO \to NO^+$✔️
$N_2 \to N_2^+$
$O_2 \to O_2^+$
$O_2 \to O_2^{2-}$

Correct Answer Logic:

$NO$: BO = 2.5, paramagnetic (1 unpaired $\pi^*$ electron). $NO^+$: BO = 3.0 (loses the unpaired $\pi^*$ electron), diamagnetic. Bond order increases (2.5 → 3.0) AND changes from paramagnetic to diamagnetic. Other options either decrease bond order or don't change magnetic character as required.
