Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is 60%.

Key Points

• Rajasthan is India's only state that has a real hot desert within its territory.
  • Vast stretches of sand dunes of different kinds - longitudinal dunes, barchans, transverse dunes - are characterized by physiography.
  • Almost 60% area of the THAR Desert in India falls in Rajasthan.

Additional Information

• In reality, a portion of the Thar Desert extending into Pakistan is the Great Indian Desert, covering the districts of Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jalor, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Ganganagar, Churu, Jhunjhunun, Sikar, Nagaur, and Pali.
• The total area of the arid tract is 233,100 square kilometres or approximately three-fifths of the Rajasthan State.
• The rock exposures in the Thar region are predominantly of Aravali gneiss and schist, Malani granites, and Vindhyans, indicating that Thar is part of the peninsular block's western extension.
• Jurassic and Eocene marine formations belong to the rock exposures in the Barmer - Jaisalmer - Bikaner tract to the extreme west and north, whereas those in the central area of Jalor - Siwana - Jodhpur - Khinwasar tract are of igneous rocks, often overlaid by Vindhyan sedimentaries.
• There is also proof of a great culture that had flourished in the past there.
• The deep-seated formations, such as the Jaisalmer Lathis, are small potable water zones with local recharge facilities.
• The blown sand superimposes large stretches of alluvium contributed by ancient rivers in their submerged channels.
• Recurring aridity has endowed this tract with items such as gypsum, potash, common salt, at different stages of geological times. Phosphorus, and bentonitic and ceramic clays.

Important Points

•  The question has been cancelled

The correct answer is A solid in gas.

Concept:

• A system made up of a substance distributed or scattered as minute particles of solid droplets of a liquid or extremely tiny bubbles of gas into the body of another substance is called a dispersion system.
• A dispersion system is a two-phase system.
• The distributed substance is called the dispersed phase and the continuous medium around it is called the dispersion medium.
• Depending upon the particle size of the dispersed phase, the dispersion system may be classified as 1. True solutions 2. Colloidal solutions 3. Suspensions.

Explanation:

Classification of colloids based on the type of phases:

• The colloidal system is heterogeneous in nature and consists of two phases called the dispersion medium and the dispersed phase.
• The component that is present in a small amount and behaves like a solute is called the dispersed phase and the component present in excess is called dispersion medium.
• Depending on the nature of dispersed phase and dispersion medium, colloids can be classified as:

• From the above table, it is clear that smoke contains solid particles suspended in the gaseous phase.
• Hence, smoke is a dispersion of solid in gas.

Important Points

• Gas in the gas phase is true solution. 

The correct answer is chemical energy.

Key Points

• The dry cell is a type of electric battery which is used for portable electrical devices.
• Electricity is produced through the dry cells from electrochemical energy. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
• A common dry cell is a zinc-carbon cell.
• The electrolyte is immobilized as a paste by a dry cell, with just enough humidity in it to allow current to flow.
• Like a wet cell, a dry cell can work without spilling in any direction, because there is no free liquid in it.
• The versatility makes it ideal for mobile devices.
• The first wet-cell batteries, in comparison, were usually fragile glass containers featuring lead rods sticking from an open-top.
• Hence, they required careful handling to prevent spillage.
• The dry-cell battery development made a significant advance in battery safety and portability.
• Batteries render electricity from chemical energy.
• Batteries consist of one or more different parts, or cells, which contain an electrolyte called a chemical.
• Every cell has two electrodes that are electrically conductive immersed in its electrolyte.
• The electrodes consist of different materials; one releases electrons into the electrolyte, and the other absorbs them.
• Once an electrical system is attached to the electrodes, an electrical current passes through it and supports its operation with electric power.
• The energy contained in the dry cell is therefore in the form of chemical energy.

Additional Information

• Thermal energy
  • It is also called heat energy 
  • It is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
  • The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
  • Thermal energy is energy that comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a temperature rise.
• In physical sciences, mechanical energy
  • It is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
  • It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system.
  • The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant.
• Nuclear power
  • It is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity.
  • Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay, and nuclear fusion reactions.
  • Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants.

Rickshaw, bus and train are the means of transport.

Mobile and radio are the means of communication, so out of the given options only letter is a mean of communication.

The correct answer is Mehrangarh Fort.

Key Points

• Mehrangarh Fort was built on Chidiyatunk Hill.
  • It was built by Rao Jodha in 1459 AD.
  • It is also known as Gad Chintamadi / Suryagarh / Kagmukhi.
  • Its shape looks like a peacock.
  • Jaipol, Lohapol, Fatehpol are the main entry gates in Fort.
  • Dhanna and Bheeva 10 Pillars Chhatri Is also situated in Fort.
  • Rathod's Family Goddess (Kuldevi) Nagnechi Mata Temple is also situated in it.
  • Rudyard Kipling said that it was built by Fairies and Angels.
  • Chamunda Mata Temple, Suri Mosque, Murali Manohar and Anand Dhan Ji Temple are also some viewable places in Fort.
