Organizational Behavior: Challenges, Opportunities, and Impact
Unit 1 – Question 1
Q1. Define Organisational Behaviour (OB). What are the various challenges and opportunities faced by OB managers? How does OB help in dealing with these challenges? Explain with help of examples.
In today’s rapidly changing business world, understanding human behaviour at work has become essential for every manager. Organisational Behaviour (OB) is the study that focuses on understanding, predicting, and influencing the behaviour of individuals and groups in an organisation.

1. Proving the Tangent Sum and Difference Identity
Identity to Prove:
\tan (x+y) + \tan (x-y) = \frac{\sin (2x)}{\cos (2y) – \cos (2x)}
Proof Steps
Start with the Left-Hand Side (LHS) using the definition of tangent:
\tan (x+y) + \tan (x-y) = \frac{\sin (x+y)}{\cos (x+y)} + \frac{\sin (x-y)}{\cos (x-y)}
Combine the fractions:
= \frac{\sin (x+y)\cos (x-y) + \sin (x-y)\cos (x+y)}{\cos (x+y)\cos (x-y)}
Using the Sine Addition Formula, $\sin(A+B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B$:
= \frac{\sin [ (x+y) + (x-y)

Host Defense Mechanisms Against Viruses
Innate, Intrinsic, and Adaptive Immunity
- Innate Immunity: Non-specific, immediate response. Uses Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) to detect Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs).
- Intrinsic Immunity: Always present in cells (pre-existing defenses).
- Examples: TRIM proteins, MxA, Tetherin, autophagy, apoptosis.
- Adaptive Immunity: Specific, develops after infection.
- Two arms: T cells (cell-mediated) and B cells (antibody-mediated/humoral).

The Problem of Knowledge
“What is Truth?”, “Is knowledge possible?” and “If knowledge is possible, what is its origin?” are pervasive philosophical questions. Truth has been understood mainly as a correspondence with facts derived from sensation (as synthetic truth) or as a coherence between statements originating in reason (as analytical truth). However, some philosophers have defined truth in many other ways, and some of them have even rejected that truth really exists and that knowledge
