Solved Questions & Explanations
20 questions with verified answers and explanations
A train 540 m long moves at 72 km/h. How long does it take to pass a platform of length 272 m?
Step-by-step solution: 1. Relative distance to cover = train length + platform length. 2. Convert speed to m/s: 72 * (1000/3600) = 20.00 m/s. 3. Time = Distance / Speed = (540 + 272) / 20.00 = 40.6 s.
$(47)^{25} – 1$ is exactly divisible by: (a) 21 (b) 24 (c) 23 (d) 19
We use the algebraic identity: $(a^n - b^n)$ is always divisible by $(a-b)$ for any positive integer $n$.
The emission scenarios labeled A1FI and B1 are components of which framework?
The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) was published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2000. It provided a set of scenarios used for climate change projections, including A1FI (fossil-fuel intensive) and B1 (a more sustainable, service-oriented economy), to model future greenhouse gas concentrations.
Which of the following organisms is known to be an intracellular parasite?
Plasmodiophora brassicae is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes clubroot disease in cruciferous plants. It invades the root cells of the host, causing abnormal cell division and enlargement, which results in the characteristic club-shaped galls on the roots that hinder water and nutrient uptake.
At which institution in England did Jauhar pursue higher studies?
He studied at Lincoln College, University of Oxford.
What is the primary function of the organization known as OPEC?
OPEC stands for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. It is a permanent intergovernmental organization created at the Baghdad Conference in 1960. Its primary objective is to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of its member countries, ensuring the stabilization of oil markets in order to secure an efficient, economic, and regular supply of petroleum to consumers and a steady income for producers.
Which term refers to the professional capability of employing various methods or approaches to facilitate learning?
The correct answer is 'Technique'. A technique is a specific method or approach used to achieve a particular goal or solve a problem. In this context, implementing different techniques allows for the implementation of various methods or approaches, providing the teacher with the flexibility needed to address diverse student needs and learning styles.
What is the nature of the Memorandum Joint Venture account?
The Memorandum Joint Venture account is classified as a nominal account because it is used to determine the profit or loss of a joint venture. It records all expenses and revenues related to the venture, which are temporary in nature and closed to the profit and loss account at the end of the venture period.
What is the magnetic flux through a coil when it is oriented perpendicular to the magnetic field lines?
Magnetic flux is defined by the formula Φ = B * A * cos(θ), where θ is the angle between the magnetic field vector and the area vector (normal to the coil). When the coil is perpendicular to the field lines, the area vector is parallel to the field lines (θ = 0°). Since cos(0°) = 1, the flux is at its maximum value.
Identify the segment containing an error: 'The number of students are increasing.'
'The number of' signifies a specific number/unit and takes a singular verb. Correct: 'is increasing'. (Contrast with 'A number of' which is plural).
Approximately how many spores are typically contained within a single sporangium of Polypodium?
In the genus Polypodium, the sporangium typically undergoes a series of meiotic divisions resulting in the production of 64 spores. This is a characteristic feature of many leptosporangiate ferns where the spore mother cell divides to form a tetrad, followed by further divisions.
Which budgeting method requires the justification of all expenses for each new period, evaluating alternative operational methods and effort levels to prioritize programs and allocate resources effectively?
Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is a strategic approach where every function within an organization is analyzed for its needs and costs. Unlike traditional incremental budgeting, ZBB starts from a 'zero base' each period, requiring managers to justify all expenses. This ensures that resources are allocated based on current priorities rather than historical spending patterns, making it highly effective for evaluating alternative operational methods and program efficiency.
What was the ethnic origin of the Ayyubid family?
The Ayyubids were of Kurdish origin, specifically from the Rawadiya tribe. They hailed from the town of Dvin in modern-day Armenia before moving to Iraq to serve the Zengi dynasty in Tikrit and later Mosul.
Which building features the world’s highest clock tower?
Its clock is situated over 400 meters high.
Compute 8.6 * 0.81.
Step-by-step solution: 1. Ignore the decimal points and multiply as whole numbers. 2. Count the total decimal places (three) and place the decimal accordingly. 3. The product is 6.966.
Calculate: sqrt(50) / sqrt(2)
Using the quotient property, merge the terms into one square root: sqrt(50 / 2). This simplifies to sqrt(25), which has a value of 5.
Which term describes an insect that actively hunts and consumes other insects, typically killing them to obtain a single meal?
Predators are free-living insects that actively search for, capture, and consume other insects, known as prey. Unlike parasites, which may live on or inside a host for an extended period, predators usually kill their prey quickly to consume them. This predatory behavior is a critical component of natural pest control, as many beneficial insects like ladybird beetles and lacewings act as predators to manage pest populations.
What was the original primary mandate of the FATF upon its establishment in 1989?
The mandate was expanded in 2001 to include combating terrorist financing (CTF) following the September 11 attacks.
The 'heartwood' of an old tree consists of:
As a tree ages, the oldest layers of secondary xylem stop conducting water and become filled with resins and tannins. This heartwood provides structural support, while the outer sapwood conducts water.
What conclusion can be drawn from the results of a well-designed psychological experiment?
In a properly designed experiment, variables are strictly controlled to isolate the effect of the independent variable. By maintaining consistency across conditions, researchers can confidently attribute any statistically significant differences in the dependent variable to the manipulation of the independent variable, thereby establishing a cause-and-effect relationship.
