सरळ सेवा परीक्षेसाठी इंग्रजी सराव प्रश्नपत्रिका १३ उत्तरासह | English Question Paper 13 With Answer

Read the following passage and answer the question given below:
We flew to Mahe, the largest of the islands in the Seychelles, and immediately took another
small plane to the second biggest island, called Praslin. It’s still pretty small; I think it’s only
about ten miles in diameter. It really was like a perfect storybook island, with a beach and
white sand and perfect temperature. The other extraordinary thing about Praslin is that it
has an ancient forest called the Valley de Maie, not been touched for millions of years.
We went to an extraordinary island called Curieuse, where we saw giant tortoises; even a
small child could ride on one of these tortoises; then went to Cousin Island, which is a
beautiful bird sanctuary. We then traveled to Denis Island for one week, a private island
which just has a hotel and you really feel as if you are Robinson Crusoe on this island; with
these beautiful perfect beaches and blue-green sea.
Question: How wide is Praslin Island?

Read the following passage and answer the question given below:
In June 1902, Harry Jackson left his fingerprints on the windowsill of an apartment, looked
in and stole a set of billiard game he found on the table. He was jailed on the basis of his
fingerprints, thus making history for Scotland Yard.
No two fingerprints of people match. Even identical twins who have the same DNA do not
have the same fingerprints! Fingerprints remain unchanged throughout the lifetime of a
person; even if the outer skin were to get bruised or damaged, the new skin grows to
exactly match the original one.
The epidermis, which is the skin that we see, is the thickest in the palms and soles
compared to other places. The skin here has lines or ‘friction ridges’ unlike other places.
These vary in length and width, branch off, end suddenly, and, for the most part, form distinct
patterns. Fingerprints are the patterns in the ridge.
Question: Which was the first investigating agency to use fingerprinting as a means to
crime detection?
