Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Chanhudaro was a tiny settlement (less than 7 hectares) as compared to Mohenjodaro (125 hectares), almost exclusively devoted to craft production, including bead-making, shell cutting, metal-working, seal-making and weight-making. The variety of materials used to make beads is remarkable: stones like carnelian (of a beautiful red colour), jasper, crystal, quartz and steatite; metals like copper, bronze and gold; and shell, faience and terracotta or burnt clay. Some beads were made of two or more stones, cemented together, some of stone with gold caps. The shapes were numerous - disc-shaped, cylindrical, spherical, barrel-shaped, and segmented. Some were decorated by incising or painting, and some had designs etched onto them.

Techniques for making beads differed according to the material. Steatite, a very soft stone, was easily worked. Some beads were moulded out of a paste made with steatite powder. This permitted making a variety of shapes, unlike the geometrical forms made out of harder stones. How the steatite micro bead was made remains a puzzle for archaeologists studying ancient technology. Archaeologists' experiments have revealed that the red colour of carnelian was obtained by firing the yellowish raw material and beads at various stages of production. Nodules were chipped into rough shapes, and then finely flaked into the final form. Grinding, polishing and finally drilling completed the process. Specialised drills have been found at Chanhudaro, Lothal and more recently at Dholavira. Nageshwar and Balakot, both settlements are near the coast. These were specialised centres for making shell objects including bangles, ladles and inlay - which were taken to other settlements. Similarly, it is likely that finished products (such as beads) from Chanhudaro and Lothal were taken to the large urban centres such as Mohenjodaro and Harappa.

Question:
What is the final process in the production of beads?

Option 1: Polishing

Option 2: Drilling

Option 3: Gringing

Option 4: Chipping

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Drilling


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The final process in the production of beads is drilling.

Explanation:
The passage mentions that after nodules of materials like carnelian were chipped into rough shapes, finely flaked into the final form, and underwent processes like grinding and

Question : A person can jump higher on the moon's surface than on the earth because : 

Option 1: The moon's surface is rough

Option 2: the acceleration due to gravity is smaller than that on the earth

Option 3: the moon is cooler than earth

Option 4: the moon has no atmosphere

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: the acceleration due to gravity is smaller than that on the earth


Solution : The correct option is - the acceleration due to gravity is smaller than that on the earth

The gravity of the Earth is six times stronger than that of the moon. This shows that

Question : Directions: In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives.
21 : 3 :: 574 : ?

Option 1: 23

Option 2: 82

Option 3: 97

Option 4: 113

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 82


Solution : Given:
21 : 3 :: 574 : ?

Divide the first number by 7 to obtain the second number in each pair.
Like, 21 : 3→21 ÷ 7 = 3
Similarly, follow the same pattern for 574 : ?→574 ÷ 7 = 82

So, 574

Question : $\frac{1+\cos \theta-\sin ^2 \theta}{\sin \theta(1+\cos \theta)} \times \frac{\sqrt{\sec ^2 \theta+\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}}{\tan \theta+\cot \theta}, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, is equal to:

Option 1: $\sin \theta$

Option 2: $\cos \theta$

Option 3: $\operatorname{cosec} \theta$

Option 4: $\cot \theta$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\cot \theta$


Solution : $\frac{1+\cos \theta-\sin ^2 \theta}{\sin \theta(1+\cos \theta)} \times \frac{\sqrt{\sec ^2 \theta+\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}}{\tan \theta+\cot \theta}$
$=\frac{1+\cos \theta-(1-\cos ^2 \theta)}{\sin \theta(1+\cos \theta)} \times \frac{\sqrt{1+\tan ^2 \theta+1+\operatorname{cot}^2 \theta}}{ \tan \theta+\cot \theta}$
$=\frac{\cos \theta+\cos ^2 \theta}{\sin \theta(1+\cos \theta)} \times \frac{\sqrt{(\tan \theta+\operatorname{cot} \theta)^2}}{\tan \theta+\cot \theta}$
$=\frac{\cos \theta(1+\cos \theta)}{\sin \theta(1+\cos \theta)}

Question : If cells are kept in a solution and the net result is that the cells swell up, then the solution is_____.

Option 1: Hypertonic solution

Option 2: Isotonic solution

Option 3: Hypotonic solution

Option 4: Acidic solution

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Hypotonic solution


Solution : The correct option is the hypotonic solution

A hypotonic solution has less solute than the solution on the other side of a membrane. Water from the surrounding solution enters the cells, causing them to expand and potentially explode.

Question : Recharging of water table depends on

Option 1: amount of rainfall

Option 2: relief of the area

Option 3: vegetation of the area

Option 4: amount of percolation

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: relief of the area


Solution : The correct option is relief of the area.

The recharging of a water table is closely linked to a region's relief or terrain. The topography of a region influences how water interacts with the terrain and, as a result, replenishes underground aquifers.
