Question Discussion & Solution

Hence, “21” will come next.

The correct answer is ​Wide Area Network (WAN).

Key Points

• A global system of interconnected computers, using a standardized Internet Protocol suite for communication and sharing information is called the Internet.
• World Wide Web or ‘www’ is a collection of web pages that can easily be published on the Internet and read by millions of its users. 
• The first development was the introduction of host-to-host network interactions.
• This was first observed in ARPANET in 1969.
• It was developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (APRA) of the Department of Defence, U.S. It was one of the first general usages of computer networks.

Important Points

• A personal area network, or PAN, is a computer network organized around an individual person within a single building. This could be inside a small office or residence.
• A typical PAN would include one or more computers, telephones, peripheral devices, video game consoles, and other personal entertainment devices.
• A local area network, or LAN, consists of a computer network at a single site, typically an individual office building. A LAN is very useful for sharing resources, such as data storage and printers.
• LANs can be built with relatively inexpensive hardware, such as hubs, network adapters, and Ethernet cables.
• A metropolitan area network, or MAN, consists of a computer network across an entire city, college campus, or small region. A MAN is larger than a LAN, which is typically limited to a single building or site.
• Depending on the configuration, this type of network can cover an area from several miles to tens of miles. A MAN is often used to connect several LANs together to form a bigger network.
• When this type of network is specifically designed for a college campus, it is sometimes referred to as a campus area network, or CAN.
• A wide area network, or WAN, occupies a very large area, such as an entire country or the entire world. A WAN can contain multiple smaller networks, such as LANs or MANs. The Internet is the best-known example of a public WAN. 

Key Points 

Spleen is an organ on the left side of the abdomen below the stomach. 

It performs two major functions:

1. Storage of blood - Blood vessels of spleen can alter their thicker and become wider or narrower depending on the situation. In case of emergency situations like trauma & severe injuries where a lot of blood gets lost, the spleen expand its vessels and hold the blood. This reserve blood is then transported to the organ where blood is required. For this reason the spleen is also called the blood bank of human body.
2. Filtration of blood - Spleen filters the blood & removes the old & dead RBCs. It acts like a maze from which healthy RBCs can easily pass while the old & dead RBCs get stuck in it. These are then broken down in the spleen by macrophages. For this reason the spleen is also called as The Graveyard of RBCs.

Additional Information 

Heart:

• The heart is a mesodermally derived organ, that is present in the thoracic cavity, in between the two lungs, slightly tilted to the left. It has the size of a clenched fist. It is protected by a double-walled membranous bag, pericardium, enclosing the pericardial fluid.

Liver:

• The liver is the largest gland of the human body. It performs the function of detoxification of harmful substances in the body
• For example, it converts harmful ammonia into urea,  It also breaks down alcohol and other such substances in the blood. 

Bone marrow :

• Bone marrow refers to the tissue located in the hollow interior of long bones. It is composed of adipose tissue, areolar tissue, and blood cells.
• Bone marrow is mainly of two types – red and yellow

CONCEPT:

Electric Charge: It is a physical property of a matter that experiences a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

• Electric charges create electric fields.

• Two types of charges are found – 1.) Positive charge. 2.) Negative charge
• Force experienced when charge placed in the electromagnetic field is \({{F}^{\to }}=q\times {{E}^{\to }}\) where q = charge of the body (in coulomb). \({{E}^{\to }}\) = intensity of the electric field.
• SI unit of charge is Coulomb and the symbol is C. One coulomb is equal to the charge on 6.241 x 10¹⁸ protons.

Inductor: It is a passive electric component that stores energy in the form of magnetic field lines. It is a simple loop of wire.

• The inductance of the inductor could be measured by equation L = Φ / I where ϕ is magnetic flux and I is a current flowing through it.
• SI unit of inductance is Henry.
• Energy stored in Inductor U = ½ (LI²).

Capacitor: It is a device consisting of two conducting "plates" separated by an insulating material (dielectric). It stores energy in the form of an electric field with the help of an electric charge.

• The capacitance of a capacitor is measured by equation C = q /Δ v where q is charge and ∆ V is a potential difference.
• SI Unit of capacitance is Farad.
• Energy stored in Capacitor U = ½ (CV²)

Resistance: It is a measure of how the device reduces the flow of electric current, basically it opposes the flow of charges.

• Further, it states the ratio of the applied voltage to electric current flows through it.
• R = V/I [R is resistance, V is the potential difference and I is electric current].
• Also, R = ρ × (L/A) [where ρ is specific resistance of the material, l is the length of conductor and A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor].
• The unit of resistance is volt/ampere or ohm (Ω).
• It does not store energy.

Transformer: It is an electrical device that converts A/C current from one voltage to another.

EXPLANATION:

• A capacitor stores energy in the form of electrical charges and fields.
• Here, C_o = Capacitance, V = voltage, A = area of the plates, d = distance between them.

\(\Rightarrow {{C}_{o}}=\frac{{{Q}_{o}}}{V}=\frac{{{\epsilon }_{o}}A}{d}\)

Important Points

• Remember Electric field lines are stored in capacitor & magnetic field lines are stored in Inductor.

The correct answer is Football.

Key Points

• 'Bandodkar Gold Trophy' is associated with the sports of Football. 
• The Bandodkar Gold Cup was made of pure gold weighing several kilos.
• The trophy was instituted in 1970, by then Chief Minister, the late Dayanand Bandodkar.
• The Bandodkar Gold Cup was one of the top football tournaments in business in that era.
• The tournament was disbanded in 1994, only to be revived some years back by the Association.
