EC: Electronics & Communication Engineering
Duration: Three Hours Maximum Marks: 100
Read the Instructions carefully.
1. This question paper contains 22 pages.
2. All Questions in this Paper are Objective type.
3. There are a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks.
4. Questions 1 – 25 will carry 1-mark each, questions 26 – 55 carry 2-marks
each.
5. Questions 50 – 51 are common data questions and question pairs (52 – 53)
and (54 –55) are linked answer questions. The answer to the second
questions of the linked answer question depends on the answer to the first
question of the pair. If the first question is wrongly answered or is un-
attempted, then the answer to the second question will not be evaluated.
6. Questions 56 – 65 belong to general aptitude (GA). Questions 56 – 60 will
carry 1-mark each, and questions 61 – 65 will carry 2-marks each. The GA
questions will begin on a fresh page starting from page 20.
7. Un-attempted questions will carry zero marks.
8. Wrong answers will carry NEGATIVE marks. For Questions 1 – 25 and
Questions 56 – 60, 1/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. For
Questions 26 – 51 and Questions 61 – 65,2/3 mark will be deducted for
each wrong answer.
9. The questions pairs (52 – 53), and (54 – 55) are questions with linked
answers. There will be negative marks only for wrong answers to the first
question of the linked answer question pair i.e. for Question 52 and 54, 2/3
will be deducted for wrong answer. There is no negative marking for
Question 53 and 55.

Questions 61 - 65 carry two marks each.
61. The recent news that local hospitals have had to reroute seriously ill patients because the community's critical-care beds are full is worrisome. Earlier this week, four of the six local hospitals ran out of space for the critically ill and had to turn people away. Federal law requires hospitals to treat anyone who walks in. As a result of having to treat large numbers of uninsured patients, the emergency rooms often become an economic drain on their hospitals. Doctors now want to set up their own free standing ambulatory surgical facilities and diagnostic centers. Critics contend this would leave hospitals with less revenue and the same number of indigents to treat. A bill was recently introduced to phase out the need for a "certificate of public need" for non-hospital based facilities, provided those facilities met stringent regulations and requirements. This would have made it easier to set up alternative facilities to help indigent patients. The finance committee balked at the hefty price and killed the bill, another casualty of a failed legislative session. Unfortunately, the problem of access to medical care for those of limited means is not going to go away anytime soon and, despite the well-intended regulations, too-full hospitals compromise everyone's welfare. Healthy competition with small neighborhood surgical and diagnostic centers may be what is necessary to help dampen rising medical costs. But under no circumstances should the hospitals be forced to care for everybody without health insurance while competitors operate free of the burden of caring for those unable to pay.
According to the passage, which of the following is cited as a factor which has contributed to the overburdening of hospitals?
I. Failure to pass legislation which would have mitigated the problem II. Limited access to medical care for the poor
III. Federal law
(A) I only
(B) III only
(C) I and II
(D) I, II, and III
