Question Discussion & Solution

A constructor is a member function of a class that initializes objects of a class. In C++, Constructor is automatically called when an object (instance of a class) creates. It is a special member function of the class.

Syntax

class_name(parameter1, parameter2, ...)

{

    // constructor Definition

}

Default Constructor

It is the constructor that doesn’t take any argument. It has no parameters.

Parameterized Constructors

It is possible to pass arguments to constructors. Typically, these arguments help initialize an object when it is created. 

Copy Constructor

A copy constructor is a member function that initializes an object using another object of the same class.

The correct answer is Vitamin A.

• Vitamin A causes Night Blindness.

Key Points

• Night blindness is a type of vision impairment also known as nyctalopia. People with night blindness experience poor vision at night.
• Vitamin was first invented by FG Hopkins.  However, the term vitamin was coined by C Funk. 
• Good sources of vitamin A include cheese, eggs oily fish.

Additional Information

• Vitamin B₁₂ deficiency may lead to a reduction in healthy red blood cells (anaemia). 
• Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits and vegetables.
  • Scurvy results from a deficiency of vitamin C in the diet.
• The signs and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include Fatigue, Bone pain, muscle weakness, muscle aches, or muscle cramps.
  • Rickets is caused due to deficiency of vitamin D
• Vitamin E deficiency can cause nerve and muscle damage loss of body movement control, muscle weakness, and vision problems.

The correct answer is 100.

• 100 per cent share of the Central Government in the 'Sambhar wetland project' under the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012 - 2017).

Additional Information 

• The objectives of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan were:
  • To create 50 million new work opportunities in the non-farm sector.
  • To remove gender and social gap in school enrolment.
  • To enhance access to higher education.
  • To reduce malnutrition among children aged 0–3 years.
  • To provide electricity to all villages.
  • To ensure that 50% of the rural population has access to proper drinking water.
  • To increase green cover by 1 million hectares every year.
  • To provide access to banking services to 90% of households.

The correct answer is Mr. Bulaki Das Kalla.

• As of June 2020, Mr. Bulaki Das Kalla is the Cabinet Minister of Culture and Archeology in Rajasthan.

Key Points

• Mr. Bulaki Das Kalla's constituency is Bikaner, Rajasthan.
• He is associated with the Indian National Congress.
• He is currently holding the portfolio of Cabinet Minister of Energy, Public Health & Engineering, Ground Water, Art, Literature, Culture & Archeology.

Additional Information

• Mr. Sachin Pilot is the Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
• Mr. Ashok Gehlot is the Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
• Mr. Shanti Kumar Dhariwal is the Minister of Local Self Government, Urban Development & Housing Department, Rajasthan.

OSI Model

• OSI stands for Open System Interconnection is a reference model that describes how information from a software application in one computer moves through a physical medium to the software application in another computer.
• OSI consists of seven layers, and each layer performs a particular network function.
• OSI model was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1984, and it is now considered as an architectural model for inter-computer communications.

There are seven OSI layers. Each layer has different functions. A list of seven layers are given below:

1) Physical Layer: 

• The main functionality of the physical layer is to transmit the individual bits from one node to another node.
• It is the lowest layer of the OSI model.

2) Data-Link Layer: 

• This layer is responsible for the error-free transfer of data frames.
• It defines the format of the data on the network.
• It provides reliable and efficient communication between two or more devices.

3) Network Layer: 

• It is a layer 3 that manages device addressing, tracks the location of devices on the network.
• It determines the best path to move data from source to destination based on the network conditions, the priority of service, and other factors.
• Logical Addressing and Routing are functions of the Network Layer.

4) Transport Layer: 

• The Transport layer is a Layer 4 ensures that messages are transmitted in the order in which they are sent and there is no duplication of data.
• The main responsibility of the transport layer is to transfer the data completely.

5) Session Layer:

• The Session layer is used to establish, maintain, and synchronizes the interaction between communicating devices.

​6) Presentation Layer:

• It acts as a data translator for a network.
• This layer is a part of the operating system that converts the data from one presentation format to another format.

7) Application Layer: 

• An application layer serves as a window for users and application processes to access network service.
• This layer provides network services to the end-users.
• HTTP is an application layer protocol designed within the framework of the Internet protocol suite. Its definition presumes an underlying and reliable transport layer protocol, and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is commonly used.

​Thus, HTTP is an application layer in the OSI Model of Networking.
