12. Q4
X is a Japanese shōnen manga series created by Osamu Tezuka which was serialized in
the Manga Shōnen magazine from November 1950 to April 1954.
The anime series has enjoyed popularity worldwide.
As a number of journalists and fans watched Disney's animated feature film The Lion King they
noticed characters and events in the story resembling those of X. Although the two works
follow different screenplays, there are strong artistic similarities, and The Lion King contains
numerous sequences that closely match X's.
Alleged similarities in the characters, beginning with the protagonist lion cubs X and Simba,
include the evil lions, the one-eyed Claw and Scar, the sage mandrils Dan'l and Rafiki, the
animated birds Pauley Cracker and Zazu, and the pair of hyena sidekicks.
Numerous scenes from the both films show striking similarity. For example, both films feature
the protagonist looking up at clouds in the shape of his father lion.
The similarity is alluded to in a scene from an episode from The Simpsons called "'Round
Springfield", where a parody of Mufasa in the clouds tells Lisa Simpson, "You must avenge my
death, X... er, I mean Simba!“

15. Q5
The murder case of Kitty Genovese was never intended to be a psychological
experiment, however it ended up having serious implications for the field.
According to a New York Times article, almost forty neighbours witnessed the
event of Kitty Genovese being savagely attacked and murdered in Queens, New
York in 1964, but not one neighbour called the police for help.
Some reports state that the attacker briefly left the scene and later returned to
“finish off” his victim. It was later uncovered that many of these facts were
exaggerated (there were more likely only a dozen witnesses and records show that
some calls to police were made).
What this case later become famous for is the “X effect,” This effect has led to
changes in medicine, psychology and many other areas.
What is X and what does the effect mean ?

17. Answer
X- Bystander . It means that the more bystanders that are
present in a social situation, the less likely it is that
anyone will step in and help.

18. Q6
X is an English saying meaning "equivalent retaliation".
It is also a highly effective strategy in game theory. An agent using this
strategy will first cooperate, then subsequently replicate an opponent's
previous action. If the opponent previously was cooperative, the agent is
cooperative. If not, the agent is not.
X has been very successfully used as a strategy for the iterated prisoner's
dilemma. The strategy was first introduced by Anatol Rapoport in Robert
Axelrod's two tournaments, held around 1980. Notably, it was (on both
occasions) both the simplest strategy and the most successful in direct
competition.
