1. Find out which underlined part of the sentence below has an error and mark the option accordingly.
Butterflies are considered as the main agent of transferring pollen grains. Sometimes, this gives rise
to different species of flowers, a true fascination unknown to the science world.
A. Sometimes, this gives rise to different
B. Considered as the main
C. Of transferring
D. Unknown to the science world
Answer: B
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Dogs, often hailed as humans’ best friends, have been the topic of many scientific studies looking
into how they might boost our well-being. It is likely that humans and dogs have shared a special
bond of friendship and mutual support ever since at least the Neolithic period — but why has this
bond been so long-lasting?
A recent study showed that owning a dog reduces a person’s risk of premature death by up to a
third. Also, researchers at the University of Harvard in Cambridge, MA, suggest that dog owners
have a lower risk of heart disease.Dogs can strengthen our health not just as we grow older, but also
much, much earlier than that: before we are even born. Research published last year suggests that
children who were exposed to dogs while still in the womb — as their mothers spent time around
dogs during pregnancy — had a lower risk of developing eczema in early childhood. When we
interact with dogs, our oxytocin levels shoot up. Since this is the hormone largely responsible for
social bonding, this hormonal “love injection” boosts our psychological well-being.
Previous studies analyzed in the review have revealed that dog owners have more positive social
interactions, and that the presence of canine friends makes people more trusting.
Moreover, dogs appear to reduce symptoms of depression and render people more resilient to stress.
That is why dogs are often used as therapy animals.

2. Inversion count in array
Problem statement
Let j and k be two indices in an array A.
If j < K and A[j] > A[k], then the pair (j,k) is known as an “Inversion pair”.
You are required to implement the following function:
int InversionCount(int *A, int n);
The function accepts an array ‘A’ of ‘n’ unique integers as its argument. You are required to
calculate the number of ‘Inversion pair’ in an array A, and return.
Note:
If ‘A’ is NULL (None in case of python), return -1
If ‘n’ <2, return 0
Example:
Input:
A: 1 20 6 4 5
n: 5
Output:
5
Explanation:
The inversion pair in array A are (20,6),(20,4),(20,5),(6,4) and (6,5), the count of the inversions are
5, hence 5 is returned.
The custom input format for the above case:
5
1 20 6 4 5
(The first line represents the size of the array, the second line represents the elements of the array)
Sample Input
A: 13 10 9 6 21 15 14
n: 7
Sample Output
9
The custom input format for the above case:
