Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd number pair in the given alternatives.
Option 1: 6 – 217
Option 2: 5 –126
Option 3: 4 – 63
Option 4: 3 – 28
Correct Answer: 4 – 63
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 6 – 217→(6)3 + 1 = 216 + 1 = 217 Second option: 5 – 126→(5)3 + 1 = 125 + 1 = 126 Third option: 4 – 63→(4)3 + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65 ≠ 63 Fourth option: 3 – 28→(3)3 + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28
So, the third option does not follow the pattern. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Which among the following has the same dimension as that of energy?
Option 1: Moment of inertia
Option 2: Torque
Option 3: Linear momentum
Option 4: Angular momentum
Correct Answer: Torque
Solution : The correct option is Torque.
The dimension of Torque is ML2T-2, which is similar to energy. M represents mass, L represents length, and T represents time.
Energy is a fundamental concept in physics and refers to the ability or capacity to do work. It exists in various forms and can be transferred or converted between different forms.
Torque is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Solution : The first option is correct.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The higher you go, the cooler it is.
Question : Comprehension: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Unlike its Nordic neighbours, Sweden decided early on in the pandemic to forgo lockdown in the hope of achieving broad immunity to the coronavirus. While social distancing was promoted, the government allowed bars, restaurants, salons, gyms, and schools to stay open. Initially, Sweden saw death rates from COVID-19 that were similar to those of other European nations that had closed down their economies. But now, the Scandinavian nation's daily death toll per 1 million people is 8.71 compared to the United States 4.59, according to the online publication 'Our World in Data'. Sweden's mortality rate is the highest in Europe. "I'd say it hasn't worked out so well," said Dr. George Rutherford, professor of epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco. "I think the mortality in Norway is something like ten-fold lower. That's the real comparator." (Norway's daily death rate is less than 0.01 per 1 million people.) "If you let this go, don't try very hard, or go about it in somewhat of a more restrained way than we have here, this is the price you pay," Rutherford said. "Maybe it didn't hurt businesses, but you have twice the mortality rate of the United States. All those people who died were part of families, and they were citizens and part of the fabric of Swedish society. And now they're gone because of a policy that hasn't worked out quite the way they thought it would." Scientists estimate herd immunity for the coronavirus is reached when 70–90% of the population becomes immune to a virus, either by becoming infected or getting a protective vaccine. Despite its relaxed response, Sweden is nowhere near hitting that goal. Tests on 1,118 Stockholm residents carried out by Sweden's Public Health Agency over one week in late April showed that only 7.3% had developed the antibodies needed to stave off the disease. "I think herd immunity is a long way off if we ever reach it," Björn Olsen, a professor of infectious medicine at Uppsala University, told Reuters after the release of the antibody findings. Rutherford said we can keep doing non-pharmaceutical interventions like contact tracing, mask-wearing, and isolation quarantines, but also develop drugs that work better treating people who already have the infection so they don't require critical care in a hospital.
Question: The death rate in Norway is:
Option 1: 4.59 per 1 million people
Option 2: 1.01 per 1 million people
Option 3: 8.71 per 1 million people
Option 4: 0.01 per 1 million people
Correct Answer: 0.01 per 1 million people
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation: Dr. George Rutherford compares Sweden's mortality rate with that of Norway, stating that Norway's daily death rate is less than 0.01 per 1 million people, which is significantly lower than Sweden's 8.71 per 1 million people.
Therefore, the correct answer is 0.01 per 1 million people.

Question : Which scientist explained that cells divide and new cells are formed from pre-existing cells?
Option 1: Theodor Schwann
Option 2: Rudolf Virchow
Option 3: Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek
Option 4: Robert Hooke
Correct Answer: Rudolf Virchow
Solution : The correct answer is Rudolf Virchow.
The first explanation of how cells divide and create new cells from pre-existing cells (omnis cellula-e cellula) was provided by Rudolf Virchow in 1985. He made changes to Schleiden and Schwann's hypothesis to give cell theory its final form. Every living thing is made up of cells and cell products. Every cell originates from a pre-existing cell.
