Question Discussion & Solution

The Correct Answer is Option 1 i.e Baking powder.

• Baking powder:
  • Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda and tartaric acid .
  • Tartaric acid has been added to baking powder to neutralize the bitterness produced by sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) .
• Baking soda:
  • It is commonly known as sodium bicarbonate.
  • Sodium bicarbonate is a white crystalline solid.
  • It is used in baking products like cakes, cookies etc.
• Washing Soda:
  • It is commonly known as Na2CO3 or sodium carbonate.
  • It is used in softening of hard water.
  • It is commonly used as a cleaning agent for domestic purposes.It is also used in the manufacturing of paper, soap, textiles, paints, etc.
• Vinegar:
  • Vinegar is produced from fermentation of alcohol.
  • Vinegar is the natural source for acetic acid.
  • It is widely used as a flavouring agent in most of the cuisines.

Concept:

• Nutrition is a process by which an organism consumes and uses food materials.
• According to WHO, Nutrition is the intake of food, considered in relation to the body's dietary needs.
• There are various modes of nutrition mainly Autotrophic, Heterotrophic, Chemoautotrophic, Saprophytic,  etc.

Explanation:

• Holophytic or autotrophic nutrition: In this type of nutrition the organisms prepare their food by themselves. Eg - green plants.
• Plants prepare their food by the process called photosynthesis. 
• During photosynthesis, plants trap solar energy or light energy with the help of chloroplast present in the green leaves and convert it into Chemical energy
• A pigment called chlorophyll is present in the chloroplasts which are required in trapping sunlight
• Plants utilize Carbon dioxide and Water for the synthesis of carbohydrates during photosynthesis, oxygen is liberated as a side product
• This gaseous exchange occurs through the stomata present on the leaf surface

• These events can be demonstrated by the following equation:

  \(\rm \underset{(Carbon\ dioxide)}{6CO_2} + \underset{(Water)}{6H_2 O} \xrightarrow[Chlorophyll]{Sunlight} \underset{(Carbohydrates)}{C_6H_{12}O_6} + \underset{(Oxygen)}{6O_2}\)

Therefore, Plants require CO₂, Chlorophyll, Sunlight and water for autotrophic nutrition and hence the correct option will be ''All of these''.

The correct answer is Silicon.

• An integrated circuit, or IC, is a small chip that can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer, microprocessor, or even computer memory.
• An IC is a small wafer, usually made of silicon, that can hold anywhere from hundreds to millions of transistors, resistors, and capacitors.
• An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material that is normally silicon.

Key Points

• Silicon is a highly pure, easy to use, and cheap semiconductor, perfect for the now huge computer chip industry.
• Silicon is used because it can be used as either an insulator (doesn't allow electricity to flow) or a semiconductor (allows a little flow of electricity).

Important Points

The advantages of ICs :

• Extremely small in size.
• Low power consumption.
• Reliability.
• Reduced cost.
• Very small weight.
• Easy replacement. 

The correct answer is Penalty for sexual harassment and breach of a woman's dignity.

• The main issue of Section 354 of the Penal Code highlights the Penalty for sexual harassment and breach of a woman's dignity.

Key Points

• Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code:
  • It states that whoever assaults or uses criminal force to any woman, intending to outrage or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby outrage her modesty, shall be punished with impris­onment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.

Additional Information

• Section 326B of the Indian Penal Code deals with Penalty for throwing acid or attempting to throw.
• Section 498A  of the Indian Penal Code deals with Penalty for dowry harassment and Penalty for domestic violence.

The logic is,

In the first image, there are six lines in the first column and there is a four-sided figure in the second column.

In the second image, there are eight lines in the first column and there is a six-sided figure in the second column.

So, it means that the number of sides of a figure in the second column is decreasing by two from the number of lines in the first column.

Since, in third image there are five lines so the answer figure must be a three-sided figure.

Thus, the correct figure is as follows:
