Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Kalology.

Key Points

• The study of human beauty is called Kalology.
  • Kalology is the study of beauty and the ways in which beauty influences society.
  • This study is focused primarily on human attractiveness, rather than the broader field of aesthetics, and was popularized during the 19th century when philosophers attempted to codify beauty and create a uniform system for evaluating it.
  • A scale was even proposed, probably jokingly, which rated beauty in terms of the theoretical beauty of Helen of Troy, who allegedly had a face to launch 1,000 ships.

Additional Information

The pattern is:

15

15 × 3 - 3 = 42;

42 × 4 - 4 = 164

164 × 5 - 5 = 815;

815 × 6 - 6 = 4884

Option 3 is correct, i.e. p-block.

• Modern Periodic Table:
  • The Modern Periodic Table is classified into the following elements - p-block, s-block, d-block, and f-block.
  • The p-block elements include chalcogens, pnictogens, halogens, inert gases.
    • The 18^th group is known as Inert gas, zero groups, Nonreactive gases.
    • The 17^th group is known as Halogen.
    • The 16^th group is known as Chalcogen.
    • The 15^th group known as Pnictogen.
    • Pnictogen group refers to the choking property of nitrogen gas (as opposed to air, which contains oxygen as well as nitrogen).
    • Nitrogen family elements consist of atoms having 5 electrons in their outer energy level. Two of the electrons are in the s subshell, with 3 unpaired electrons in the ​p subshell.
  • The s-block elements include alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. 
  • The d-block elements include Transition elements.
  • The f-block elements include Inner Transition Elements.

Copper is a type of metal similarly, rupee is a currency of India.

The correct answer is Curvature of the lens.

Important Points

• Focal length of a lens depends on its curvature and the medium outside the lens.

Additional Information

• The ability of a lens to converge or diverge light rays depends on its focal length.
  • For example, a convex lens of short focal length bends the light rays through large angles, by focussing them closer to the optical centre.
  • Similarly, the concave lens of a very short focal length causes a higher divergence than the one with a longer focal length.
• The degree of convergence or divergence of light rays achieved by a lens is expressed in terms of its power.
  • The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length.
