The correct answer is Ethanol + Methanol​.

• Ethanol + Methanol​ is denatured alcohol.
• Denatured alcohol is ethanol that has additives to make it poisonous, bad-tasting, foul-smelling, or nauseating to discourage its recreational consumption.
• The term denatured alcohol refers to alcohol products adulterated with toxic and/or bad tasting additives (e.g., methanol, benzene, pyridine, castor oil, gasoline, isopropyl alcohol, and acetone), making it unsuitable for human consumption.
• The most common additive used is methanol (5–10%), giving rise to the term methylated spirits. Denatured alcohol is used as a lower-cost solvent or fuel for home-scale or industrial use.

Key Points

• Denatured alcohol is ethanol or grain alcohol that contains additional chemicals called denaturants that make it unfit for human consumption.
• Denatured alcohol is fine for some types of lab work and as an ingredient in certain products, but it's not safe to drink.
• Ethanol is an organic chemical compound. It is simple alcohol with the chemical formula C₂H₆O.
• Its formula can be also written as CH₃−CH₂−OH or C₂H₅OH and is often abbreviated as EtOH.

Additional Information

• Alcohol (ethanol or ethyl alcohol) is the ingredient found in beer, wine, and spirits that causes drunkenness.
• Alcohol is formed when yeast ferments (breaks down without oxygen) the sugars in different food. 

The correct answer is Amlanand Ghosh.

Key Points

• Prof Amlanand Ghosh excavated the Kalibangan site in 1952.
• The Kalibangan civilization is supposed to older than 4000 BC.
• This Rajasthan civilization was the first metropolis state in India.
• Kalibangan lies along with the left Bank of the dried-up bed of river Ghaggar.
• The site contains both pre-Harappan and Harappan remains, and therein can be seen the transition between the two cultures.
• Although the pre-Harappan culture worked copper and produced pottery, it had no writing system, and its ruins lack the orderly layout and use of baked brick that is found in the later Harappan sites.
• The Harappan remains include a cemetery and a fortified citadel. 

Additional Information

• Ratna Chandra Agrawal: 
  • Bhinmal Civilization was first founded by Ratna Chandra Agrawal in 1953-54 AD.
  • Bhinmal civilization is founded in the Jalore District of Rajasthan.
• Ratan Lal Mishra: 
  • Ganeshwar civilization was first founded in 1977 by historian Ratan Lal Mishra.
  • This Ganeshwar civilization is more than 4000 years old and the estimated time period was 2500 – 2000 BC.

The correct answer is SRAM.

​Key Points

• SRAM memory devices are very much similar, mainly in terms of speed, to the cache memory.
• SRAM stands for Static random-access memory.
• Static random-access memory is a type of random-access memory that uses latching circuitry to store each bit.
• SRAM is volatile memory; data is lost when power is removed.
• The term static differentiates SRAM from DRAM which must be periodically refreshed.

Additional Information

• Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of semiconductor memory that is typically used for the data or program code needed by a computer processor to function.
• Flash memory, also known as flash storage, is a type of nonvolatile memory that erases data in units called blocks and rewrites data at the byte level.
• EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage.
