Question : A drainage pattern where a river is joined by its tributaries approximately at right angles is____
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : The correct answer is Trellis.
A Trellis Drainage Pattern is one in which tributaries come together at sharp angles, generally approaching straight angles. These form when sedimentary rocks are folded or inclined and subsequently eroded to varied degrees based on their strength. Example- Satluj river follows
Question :
Meibomian glands are located in:
Eye
Ear
Option 3: Nose
Option 4: Skin
Solution : The correct option is the eye.
Mammalian eyelids, including human eyelids, have meibomian glands. These glands emit an oily material called meibum which prevents tears from evaporating off the surface of the eye. This oily layer also aids in the stability of the tear
Question : Which of the following is a highly electropositive element that readily gives up an electron to obtain a stable electronic configuration?
Option 1: Chlorine(Cl)
Option 2: Oxygen (O)
Option 3: Sodium(Na)
Option 4: Nitrogen(N)
Correct Answer: Sodium(Na)
Solution : The correct option is Sodium(Na).
Sodium is a highly electropositive element. It belongs to Group 1 of the periodic table, also known as the alkali metals group. Elements in this group, including sodium, have a single valence electron in their outermost energy level. When sodium
Question : If $a \cot \theta+b \operatorname{cosec} \theta=p$ and $b \cot \theta+a \operatorname{cosec} \theta=q$, then $p^2-q^2$ is equal to ____.
Option 1: $b^2-a^2$
Option 2: $a^2-b^2$
Option 3: $b-a$
Option 4: $a^2+b^2$
Correct Answer: $b^2-a^2$
Solution : $a \cot \theta+b \operatorname{cosec} \theta=p$ $b \cot \theta+a \operatorname{cosec} \theta=q$ So, $p^2-q^2$ = $(a \cot \theta+b \operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2 - (b \cot \theta+a \operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2$ = $a^2 \cot^2 \theta+b^2 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta + 2×a \cot \theta×b \operatorname{cosec} \theta$ – $(b^2 \cot^2 \theta+a^2 \operatorname{cosec}^2\theta+2×b \cot \theta×a \operatorname{cosec} \theta)$
Question : Direction: If SPANK is coded as PSNAK, then THROW is coded as?
Option 1: HTWOR
Option 2: HTWRO
Option 3: HTROW
Option 4: HTORW
Correct Answer: HTORW
Solution : Given:
SPANK → PSNAK
In the coded language,
S ⇔ P; A ⇔ N
Similarly, THROW will be coded as:
T ⇔ H; R ⇔ O
THROW → HTORW
Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Which one of the following is also called a 'power house' of the cell?
Option 1: Golgi body
Option 2: Mitrochondria
Option 3: Ribosome
Option 4: Lysosome
Correct Answer: Mitrochondria
Solution : The correct answer is Mitrochondria.
The Mitrochondria is also known as the cell's powerhouse. Mitochondria are organelles found in every eukaryotic cell. They are in charge of turning food into energy in the form of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency.
Question : If $\small a^{4}+1=\left [\frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}}\right ]\left (4b^{2}-b^{4}-1\right),$ then what is the value of $a^{4}+b^{4}?$
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 16
Option 3: 32
Option 4: 64
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $a^{4}+1=\frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}}( 4b^{2}-b^{4}-1)$ ⇒ $\frac{(a^{4}+1)}{a^2}=\frac{1}{b^{2}}( 4b^{2}-b^{4}-1)$ ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=4 -b^2-\frac{1}{b^2}$ ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}+2+b^2+\frac{1}{b^2} +2 =0$ ⇒ $(a-\frac{1}{a})^2+(b-\frac{1}{b})^2=0$ So, $(a-\frac{1}{a})^2=0 \;$and$\; (b-\frac{1}{b})^2=0$ ⇒ $a-\frac{1}{a}=0 \; $ and$\; b-\frac{1}{b}=0$ ⇒ $a=\frac{1}{a} \; $ and$\; b=\frac{1}{b}$ ⇒ $a^2=1 \;$ and $\; b^2 = 1$ $\therefore a^{4}+b^{4}=2$ Hence, the correct answer
