Question Discussion & Solution

Here the pattern is,

0.15552 ÷ 0.3 = 0.5184,

0.5184 ÷ 0.3 = 1.728,

1.728 ÷ 0.3 = 5.76,

Similarly, we have :

5.76 ÷ 0.3 = 19.2

The correct answer is Hard Disk.

• In a typical desktop computer,  Hard disk memory sizes would be the largest.
• had a capacity of 1 to 8 terabytes, with the largest-capacity drives reaching 20 terabytes (single-disk drives, "dual" drives are available up to 24 TB).
• Smaller, laptop internal 2.5-inch drives, are available up to 5 TB.
  • Register> RAM> Cache> Hard disk.

​​Key Points

• RAM 
  • RAM is a hardware element where the data being currently used is stored.
  • It is a volatile memory.
  • Two types of RAM are
    • Static RAM, or (SRAM) and
    • Dynamic RAM, or (DRAM).
• Register
  • A register holds instructions or data that the processor is working on or will be working on shortly.
  • They form part of the processor and are capable of holding only one item at a time.
• Cache 
  • Cache memory is an area in the computer where codes and instructions are stored.
• Hard disk
  • A hard disk drive is an electromechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage.

Additional Information

• There are four major storage levels on the computer:
  • Internal – 
    • Processor registers and cache.
  • Main –
    • The system RAM and controller cards.
  • On-line mass storage –
    • Secondary storage.
  • Off-line bulk storage –
    • Tertiary and Off-line storage.

The correct answer is Mercury.

Key Points

• Mercury is used in thermometers because it remains in liquid form throughout a wide range of temperatures i.e -37.89 degrees Fahrenheit to 674.06 degrees Fahrenheit.
• The mercury thermometer was invented by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in Amsterdam.
• Mercury has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than alcohol. 
• A thermometer with alcohol is used to measure low temperature because its freezing point is low i.e -1170C.
• It is Impossible to measure high temperatures because it’s a low boiling point.
• The thermometer with mercury cannot be used to measure the very low temperature because its freezing point is high i.e -400C.
• Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature.
• It's used in thermometers because it has a high coefficient of expansion.
• It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures. 
• It has a shiny appearance and doesn't stick to the glass surface of the glass.

The correct answer is Punishment shall not be less than seven years, but which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.

• Under Section 370, whoever commits the offence of trafficking shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than seven years, but which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.

​ Important Points

•  Section 370 -
  • ​Trafficking means whoever, for the purpose of exploitation, a. recruits b. transports c.harbours, d.transfers, or e. receives, a person or persons, by-
    • ​using threats,
    • using force, or any other form of coercion,
    • by abduction,
    • by practising fraud, or deception,
    • by abuse of power,
    • by inducement, including the giving or receiving of payments or benefits, in order to achieve the consent of any person having control over the person recruited, harboured, transported, transferred, or received, commits the offence of trafficking. 
• The expression "exploitation" shall include any act of physical exploitation or any form of sexual exploitation or practices similar to slavery, servitude, or the forced removal of organs.
• The consent of the victim is immaterial in the determination of the offence of trafficking.

The correct answer is Chhattisgarh.

• Mahanadi river originates from the mountainous terrain of Chhattisgarh.

Key Points

• It originates from many mountain rivers with its origin water located in the Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh.
• The river originates from an extension of the Eastern Ghats.
• It flows in Odisha where it joins the Bay of Bengal.
• Other names of Mahanadi are Kanaknandini, Chitrapalal, Mahasweta, Nilotpala etc.
• Hirakud Dam is built on the Mahanadi. It is the longest earthen dam in the world.​
