Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Chittorgarh.

Key Points

• Bojunda Stromatolite Fossil Park is situated in Chittorgarh
• The Bojunda Stromatolite Fossil Park was in the news in May 2021 because the Department of Mines and Geology, in collaboration with the Chittorgarh district administration, proposed the creation of a 12-hectare geopark at this location.
• The original park was roughly 3.5 hectares in size, but it has now been reduced to 0.5 hectares.

Additional Information

• About Stromatolite
  • Stromatolites are layered bio-chemical mounds, column or sheet-like sedimentary rocks created in shallow water by biofilms of microorganisms capturing, binding, and cementing sedimentary grains.
  • Stromatolites are fascinating windows into the origins and evolution of life on our planet.​

 CONCEPT:

• Electromagnetic waves or EM waves (Lightwave): The waves that are formed as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field and they are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave is called an electromagnetic wave.
• The accelerating charged particle produces an electromagnetic (EM) wave.
• A charged particle oscillating about an equilibrium position is an accelerating charged particle.
• Electromagnetic waves do not require any matter to propagate from one place to another as it consists of photons.
• Hence they can move in a vacuum 

Properties of Lightwaves:

• Not have any charge or we can say that they are neutral.
• Propagate as a transverse wave with both wave and particle nature.
• They move with the velocity the same as that of light i.e 3 × 108 m/s.
• It contains energy and they also contain momentum.
• They can travel in a vacuum also and always travel in a straight line.

EXPLANATION:

• All of the above-given statements are true.
• Light travels in a straight line until its path is obstructed.
• Light has dual nature, that is, it shows both waves as well as particle nature.
• Light is a transverse wave as the particles of lightwave vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Concept-

• The stem is the ascending part of the axis bearing branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
• It develops from the plumule of the embryo of a germinating seed.
• The stem bears nodes and internodes. 
• The main function of the stem is spreading out branches bearing leaves, flowers, and fruits.
• It conducts water, minerals, and photosynthates. 

Explanation-

• Some stems perform the function of storage of food, support, protection, and of vegetative propagation. 
• The stem may not always be typically like what they are expected to be.
• They are modified to perform different functions.
• Underground stems of potato, ginger, turmeric, zaminkand, Colocasia are modified to store food in them.

Therefore turnip is not the stem.

Additional InformationTurnip

• Roots in some plants change their shape and structure and become modified to perform functions other than absorption and conduction of water and minerals.
• They are modified for support, storage of food, and respiration.
• Taproots of carrot, turnip, and adventitious roots of sweet potato, get swollen and store food.

The correct option is, i.e. Brain.

• Hypothalamus-
  • The Hypothalamus is a part of Brain that plays a crucial role in many important functions of the Human Body.
  • The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus in the brain.
  • The hormones from the hypothalamus govern physiological functions such as temperature regulation, thirst, hunger, sleep, mood, and the release of other hormones within the body.
  • Hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland.

The correct answer is Ajmer.

Key Points​​

• Luni river:
  • The river originates at the confluence of two streams Saraswati and Sagarmati near Govindgarh of Ajmer district.
  • It flows in Ajmer, Nagaur, Pali, Jodhpur, Barmer. Jallore and drains in Rann of Kutch.
  • The water is fresh till Balotars of Barmer after that its water becomes salty.
  • The main tributaries of Luni joining from the left are the Lilri, the Guhiya, the Sukri, the Jawai, the Bandi (Hemawas), the Khari Bandi, the Sukri Bandi, and the Sagi.
  • Jojri is the only major tributary that joins the Luni river from the right.
  • The Dantiwada dam and the Sipu dam are constructed on the Luni river.
  • The main irrigation scheme in the Luni basin is Jawai dam, Jaswant Sagar dam, Hemavas, Sardar samand.

Additional Information

• Jaipur:
  • ​​Banganga, Bandi, Dhund, Morrel, Sabi are the river that flows in Jaipur.
  • Jaipur is also known as the 'Pink City', of India.
• Udaipur:
  • ​Banas, Ahar, Berach, Wakal, Gomti, Som, Jakham, Sabarmati, Sei are the river that flows in Udaipur.
• Nagaur:
  • ​​Luni, Mantha, Harsor are the rivers that flow in Nagaur.
