Here is the List of Questions with Answers along with explanation
Que 1. Doctor Blade is used to
remove the excess of the ink from the platen/plate of the printing surface, in
case of …..
a. Lithography
b. Screen Printing
c. Intaglio Printing
d. Letter Press Printing
Answer - c) Intaglio Printing
Explanation: The major components of a rotogravure press (Intaglio Printing)
include the engraved cylinder (the plate), the ink fountain, a doctor
blade is used to remove the ink from the nonprinting area, and the
impression roller.
Que 2. Optical Character Reader
feature in Video Spectral Comparator is used to read …..
a. Handwritten/Printed
mated on security document
b. Passport Data Page
c. Signature
d. Bank Note Serial Numbers
Answer - b) Passport Data Page
Explanation: OCR feature in VSC enables user to read and verify ICAO codes on
passports, ID cards and visas.
Que 3. In simulated forgeries;
forger pays attention to the …..
a. Pen pressure of the
writings
b. Movement of writings
c. Speed of writings
d. Manner of formation and shape of characters
Answer - d) Manner of formation and shape of characters
Explanation: The simulated forgery, or “free hand forgery” as
it is sometime known, is the usual bill of fare for the questioned
document examiner. This forgery is constructed by using a genuine
signature as a model. The forger generates an artistic reproduction of
this model. Depending on his skill and amount of practice,
the simulation may be quite good and bear remarkable pictorial similarity to
the genuine signature.
Que 4. “Trash Marks” are looked
for and are useful in the examination of ….
a. Photocopies
b. Intaglio Printing
c. Typewritten Documents
d. Offset Printing
Answer - a) Photocopies
Explanation: Specks of dirt present on glass of photocopier machine is
known as Trash Mark. Trash mark that result from dirt on the
glass will leave a mark on the photocopy.
Que 5. Two signatures when
exactly superimpose over each other, it is sign of …..
a. Poor skilled signature
b. Forged signatures
c. Genuine signature
d. Skillful signature
Answer - b) Forged signatures
Explanation: Signature
forgery refers to the act of falsely
replicating the signature of another person where superimposed
signature can be created with the help of technology. This
can be best examined by using VSC instruments.
Que 6. Optical fibre works on
the …..
a. Principle of refraction
b. Scattering
c. Interference
d. Total Internal Reflection
Answer - d) Total Internal Reflection
Explanation: An optical fiber is
a cylindrical dielectric waveguide (non-conducting waveguide) that transmits
light along its axis, by the process of total internal
reflection. The fiber consists of a core surrounded by a cladding layer,
both of which are made of dielectric materials.
Que 7. Nobel Laureate Dennis
Gabor is known for scientific work on …..
a. Scanning Electron
Microscope
b. Holography
c. X-Ray Diffraction
d. Electrostatic Detection
Apparatus
Answer - b) Electrostatic Detection Apparatus
Explanation: Holography is the science and practice of making holograms. A
hologram is a photographic recording of a light field, rather than an
image formed by a lens. The holographic medium, i.e., the object produced
by a holographic process (which itself may be referred to as a hologram) is usually unintelligible when viewed under diffuse ambient
light. Holography was invented by Dennis
Gabor in 1948.
Que 8. Which of the following
statements is NOT true?
a. A questioned sample is
sometimes referred to as a disputed sample
b. A class characteristic is one that enables writing to be uniquely identified
c. Individual
characteristics are unique to a particular writer
d. Class characteristics
enable writing to be placed into a particular category
Answer - b) A class characteristic is one that enables writing to be uniquely identified
Explanation: Class
Characteristics are properties of
physical evidence that can be associated only with a group and never
with a single source. If evidence is determined to possess
class characteristics it may serve as a mechanism to reduce the number of
suspects, but it cannot be directly connected to one person
or source.
Que 9. Assertion (A):
Identification of the author of forged signatures may be possible in case of
free hand forgeries.
Reason (R): Because it is a process where a
forger tries to hide his own writing habits unsuccessfully:
a. (A) is correct and (R)
is wrong
b. (A) is wrong and (R) is
correct
c. Both (A) and (R) are correct.
d. Both (A) and (R) are
wrong.
Answer - c) Both (A) and (R) are correct.
Explanation: Signatures examined by the forensic document examiner for authenticity
will eventually be categorized as genuine, or not genuine, if
the examination leads to a definitive opinion. “Forgery” in a
strict sense is a legal term and its use as a conclusion should probably be avoided by the questioned document examiner. Often a signature in of itself may be valid, but the manner in which it has been
acquired or affixed to the document, or the sequence of
events involved in its use are fraudulent.
Que 10. Statement I - “Avoidance
of own writing characteristics without following others
writing habits”.
Statement II- “Avoidance of own writings
characteristics and efforts of following others writing habits”.
Statement I & II are two statements refer
to:
a. Forgery of signatures/
writings
b. Forgery and disguise
respectively
c. Traced forgery of
signatures
d. Disguise and forgery respectively
Answer - d) Disguise and forgery respectively
Explanation: Disguised writing is
any deliberate attempt to alter one's handwriting to prevent recognition.
Anonymous letters, blackmail attempts, ransom notes, threats, and
similar documents are created by writers who feel their altered handwriting
cannot be attributed to them. Forgery typically is
defined as writing or altering a document with the intent to defraud. Document
examiners may be able to determine whether a document was altered
or written by someone other than the stated author, but determining whether the
writer's intent was to defraud is left up to a judge or jury.
