Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Liver. 

Key Points

• The liver is the largest gland in the human body.
  • It is made up of specialized cells called hepatocytes.
  • It is situated on the right side of the stomach in the human body.
  • The study of the liver is called hepatology.
  • It is the largest metabolic organ in the human body.
  • It is the organ that stores a large amount of vitamin A.
  • Ammonia and urea are produced in the liver.
  • Hepatitis is a viral disease that affects the liver.
  • The liver is known as the "chemical lab of the human body".
  • The liver is the highest temperature-producing organ.

Additional Information

• The brain is the center of coordination in the human body.
• The pancreas secretes enzymes and hormones.
  • Insulin and glucagon are the hormones secreted by Pancreas.
• The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the human body.
  • Thyroxin and calcitonin are the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland.
• Pituitary Gland
  • The pituitary gland is a gland that is located at the base of the brain and right behind the bridge of the nose. It is mainly responsible for sexual maturation, reproduction, etc.
  • The pituitary gland is also called the 'master endocrine gland' and it is a small pea-sized gland.
  • The pituitary gland is controlled by Hypothalamus. 
  • The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production.
  • The pituitary is called the master gland because it controls various other glands.
  • Hence, it could be concluded that the pituitary gland is also called the 'master endocrine gland' because it regulates the activities of other endocrine glands.

CONCEPT:

• Power is the ability to bend light and it is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens/mirror in meters.

Power (P) = 1/f

Where f is the focal length of the lens/mirror.

EXPLANATION:

As explained above, Dioptre is a unit of measurement of the optical power of a lens or curved mirror, which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length measured in metres.

And since the S.I unit of the focal length is the meter (m).

So the S.I unit of power = 1/(SI unit of focal length) = m-1 = Dioptre (D).

1 m-1 = 1 D

The variable is the basic unit of storage in a Java program. A variable is defined by the combination of an identifier, a type, and an optional initializer.

Variable names cannot be keyword, it is case- sensitive and the first character must be a letter.

In Java, all variables must be declared before they can be used. The basic form of a variable declaration is:

type identifier [ = value ][, identifier [= value ] …];

Examples:

int a, b;

int a = 10, b = 20, c = 30;

int a, b = 20, c;

Confusion point

In Java, variable name can also start with underscore character “_”, or a dollar sign “$”.

Best Possible answer is chosen.

Soil is one of the most important natural resources as mankind is dependent on soil for food. The soils of Rajasthan have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominately through the process of Lateralization.

Classification: The old system of classification was developed by scientists (Thorpe & Smith) of the U.S Department of Agriculture in 1949. The classification is based upon differences in climate and mineralogy. As per this system, soils of Rajasthan can be classified into 8 types:

1. Desert Soils
2. Dunes and Associated Soils
3. Brown Soils
4. Sierozems
5. Red Loams
6. Hill Soils (Lithosols)
7. Saline Sodic Soils (Solonchaks)
8. Alluvial Soils/and Black Soils

Brown soil:

• Brown Soils Major area of these soils is in the catchment area of Banas River.
• Districts – Tonk, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur, Bhilwara, Udaipur, and Chittorgarh
• Annual Rainfall – 50 cm to 75 cm is sufficient for Kharif crops.
• Texture – Sandy loam to clay loam.
• Colour – Ranges from greyish brown to yellow-brown.
• They are rich in calcium salts but have poor organic matter
• The use of fertilizers becomes essential to get a good harvest
• As the groundwaters are saline, soils irrigate with these waters have accumulated salts
• Tank irrigated soils have also developed a problem of the high water table.
• Rabi crops are grown under irrigation.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is option 4, i.e Carbon.

• Carbon forms the maximum number of compounds in the periodic table.
• Since carbon has the property of tetra valency and catenation so they can form a maximum number of compounds.
• Carbon exists in several allotropic forms. Graphite and diamond are examples of allotropes of carbon that have different properties.
• The atomic number of carbon= 6. It lies in the 14th group in the periodic table.
