Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Sunderban Delta.

• Sunderban Delta is the largest delta in India.

Key Points

• Sunderbans has spread over 1330.10 sq. km.
• It is formed by the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers in West Bengal and Bangladesh. 
• Sundarbans is also known for the mangrove forest which is one of the largest such forests in the world.
• Sundarbans was included in the World Heritage site in 1987.
• East Flowing Rivers are known as Delta forming rivers
  • East flowing rivers do not form estuaries.
  • East flowing rivers fall in the Bay of Bengal.

Additional Information

• A delta is a depositional feature of a river which is formed at the mouth of the river. 
• Largest River without is Delta Narmada and Tapti.

The pattern followed here is:

Hence, ‘JGW’ complete the series.

Important Points

Email bomb

It is an attack on your inbox that involves sending massive amounts of emails to your address. Sometimes these messages are complete gibberish, but more often they’ll be confirmation emails for newsletters and subscriptions.

Additional Information

Spoofing 

It is the act of disguising a communication from an unknown source as being from a known, trusted source. Spoofing can apply to emails, phone calls, and websites, or can be more technical, such as a computer spoofing an IP address, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), or Domain Name System (DNS) server.

Smurf Attack

It is a form of a DDoS attack that causes packet flood on the victim by exploiting/abusing ICMP protocol. When deployed, large packets are created using a technique called “spoofing”. The phony source address that is now attached to these packets becomes the victim, as their IP is flooded with traffic. The small ICMP packet generated by the tool causes big trouble for a victim, hence the name Smurf.

Ping storm

It is a condition in which the Internet ping program is used to send a flood of packets to a server to  test its ability to handle a high amount of traffic or, maliciously, to make the server inoperable

Hence Option 1 is correct

Concept:

Latent heat: It is the amount of heat needed to change the state of a unit mass of any substance without changing its temperature.

i.e., we can say that heat needed to supply for changing its state will be directly proportional to the mass m of the substance.

∴Q ∝ m

i.e.,Q = mL

The SI unit of Latent heat is J/Kg and the CGS unit is Cal/g respectively.

Where,

m = mass of an object

L = Latent heat

Q = amount of heat needed to change the state of matter of mass m 

Explanation:

From the above explanation, we can see that Amount of heat needed to melt a unit mass of a substance is directly proportional to the amount of mass of an object since the Latent heat of a material is constant.

i.e., Q ∝ m ⇒ Q = mL

Thus the unit of latent heat can be expressed as \(L=\frac{Q}{m}\Rightarrow L=\frac{Joules}{kg}\)

Concept-

• When the functioning of one or more organs or systems of the body is adversely affected, characterized by various signs and symptoms, we say that we are not healthy, i.e., we have a disease.
• Diseases can be broadly grouped into infectious and non-infectious.
• Diseases that are easily transmitted from one person to another, are called infectious diseases.
• Infectious diseases are very common and every one of us suffers from these at some time or other. Some of the infectious diseases like AIDS are fatal.
• Non-infectious disease cancer is the major cause of death.

Important Points

• Hepatitis B is a liver disease that is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
• The virus is known to interfere with the functions of the liver and cause pathological damage.
• It can be both acute or chronic disease.
• HBV is spread by contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person.

Explanation-

• Human beings have been abusing the water bodies around the world by disposing of them all kinds of waste.
• We tend to believe that water can wash away everything not taking cognizance of the fact that the water bodies are our lifeline as well as that of all other living organisms.
• Sewage from our homes as well as from hospitals is likely to contain many undesirable pathogenic microorganisms.
• Its disposal into the water without proper treatment may cause an outbreak of serious diseases, such as dysentery, typhoid, jaundice, cholera, etc.

Therefore Hepatitis-B is not a contaminated water disease.

Mistake Points

• Jaundice and Hepatitis B are not the same.
• Hepatitis B is a disease, while jaundice is a symptom.
• Jaundice symptom can be caused by many different reasons and Hepatitis B is just one of them. It can also be caused due to contaminated water.

Additional Information

Jaundice

• Jaundice can spread through contaminated water.
• It is a disease caused due to the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood and blood tissues.
• The disease causes yellowish discoloration of the skin, eyes, and other mucous membranes. 
• It is common in newborn babies because the newborn’s liver is not fully developed.
• Symptoms of Jaundice are fever, abdominal pain, weight loss, drowsiness, vomiting, etc.

Cholera

• Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal disease that can kill within hours if left untreated.
• It is caused due to the consumption of contaminated food or water.
• The provision of safe water and sanitation is critical to control the transmission of cholera and other waterborne diseases.
• It is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholera.
• People may feel pain in their abdomen, nausea, vomiting, or watery Diarrhoea.
