History, if viewed as a repository not merely of anecdotes or chronology, could produce a decisive transformation in the image of science by which we are now possessed. That image has previously been drawn, even by scientists themselves, mainly from the study of finished scientific achievements as these are recorded in the classics and, more recently, in the textbooks from which each new scientific generation learns to practice its trade.
Which of the following best summarises the above paragraph?
Option (b) which states different ways of looking at History can produce altogether different knowledge is true because each and every line of the above paragraph shows how study of History can provide altogether different knowledge. These days history is not mere date wise representation of facts rather it is turning to be scientific in its approach.

The Yoga system is divided into two principal parts -- Hatha and Raja Yoga. Hatha Yoga deals principally with the physiological part of man with a view to establish his health and train his will. The processes prescribed to arrive at this end are so difficult that only a few resolute souls go through all the stages of its practice. Many have failed and some have died in the attempt. It is therefore strongly denounced by all the philosophers. The most illustrious Shankaracharya has remarked in his treatise called Aparokshanubhuti that "the system of Hatha Yoga was intended for those whose worldly desires are not pacified or uprooted.”
Which of the following option best summarises Shankaracharya's comments on Hatha Yoga ?
The last sentence, "the system of Hatha.......or uprooted," clearly mentions that Hatha Yoga is for those who cannot control their desires easily. B, C and D are clearly out of context and can be ruled out. Again in E, the adjective 'strong' before worldly desires makes it an inappropriate choice. Among 'for those who cannot control their desires easily' and 'ill-suited for those with strong worldly desires' the earlier one is more appropriate.
For many years, skeptics scoffed at the idea that plants respond to environmental stimuli other than those that directly affect the process of photosynthesis. Recent studies, however, offer contradictory evidence that seems to suggest that music, for instance, can have a direct and positive effect on plant development. Plants that were kept in the presence of music during the first six weeks of development grew considerably faster and showed fewer signs of disease than those plants developed in silence. The "music-advantaged" plants were also 35 percent more likely to survive the process of transplantation initially than were the "music-disadvantaged" plants.
A logical critique of the study cited above would most likely raise which one of the following questions?
Do we know for sure that all the conditions of the experiment other than music were identical? If not, the results are garbage.
