Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Bori Bunder.

Key Points

• The Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR) was a predecessor of the Central Railway whose headquarters was at the Bori Bunder in Bombay (later, the Victoria Terminus and presently the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus).
• The Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company was incorporated on 1 August 1849 by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company Act 1849 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. 
• On 21 August 1847, it entered into a formal contract with the East India Company for the construction and operation of a railway line, 56 km long, to form part of a trunk line connecting Bombay with Khandesh and Berar and generally with the other presidencies of India.
• On 1 July 1925 its management was taken over by the Government.
• On 5 November 1951, it was incorporated into the Central Railway.

If '+' means 'divide by', '-' means 'add to', '×' means 'subtract from' and '/' means 'multiply by',

{(16 × 6) - (2 / 3)} + (3 - 1)] / 2

Now put the right symbol we get-

= [{(16 - 6) + (2 × 3)} / (3 + 1)] × 2

Now we apply BODMAS rule-

= [{10 + 6} / 4] × 2

= [16 / 4] × 2

= 4 × 2

= 8

Hence, "8" is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Angiosperm.

Key Points

• Angiosperms are also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta.
  • They are flowering and seed-producing plants.
  • It consists of 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera, and 3,00,000 known species.
  • Their seeds develop in the ovaries of flowers and are surrounded by a protective fruit.
  • Examples of angiosperms are fruits, vegetables, grains, and flowers.
  • Angiosperms are classified as Monocotyledons (monocots) and Dicotyledons (dicots) where monocots are flowering plants whose seeds contain only one embryonic leaf or cotyledon and dicots are flowering plants whose seeds contain two embryonic leaves or cotyledons.

Additional Information

• Thallophyta
  • The plant body is not differentiated from roots, stems, and leaves.
  • They are commonly called algae.
• Bryophyta
  • These are small terrestrial plants.
  • They show differentiation in the body design, with stem, leaf-like structures, and root-like structures.

The correct answer is Lead and Tin.

Key Points

• Soldering is the process of joining two metal objects together by a third soft metal alloy which is called solder.
• Solder is a metal alloy that melts at a lower temperature than the metals being soldered.
• A commonly used alloy is solder, which is an alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb).
• The alloy of tin-lead solder is a mixture of 63% tin and 37% lead. 63/37 solder melts at 183°C.
• So, Alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb) is used for welding electrical wire together.

Additional Information

• Element Tin (Sn) belongs to Group 14 of the periodic table.
  • Atomic Number - 50
  • Atomic Mass  - 118.710 amu.
• Element Lead (Pb) belongs to Group 14.
  • Atomic Number - 82
  • Atomic Mass - 207.2 amu.

Explanation:

• The metallic property of the elements of the periodic table decreases when we move across the group whereas it increases when we go down the group, as we go down the number of electrons increases and thereby their distance from the nucleus increases. 
• This increase causes them to shed more electrons and thereby have a greater electropositive or metallic character. 

Among the given compounds Na shows maximum Metallic character.
