Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is All of the Above.

 Key Points

• Decision making structures require that the programmer specifies one or more conditions to be evaluated or tested by the program.
• It also involves a statement or statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be true, and optionally, other statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be false.
• C programming language provides the following types of decision-making statements.
• if...else statement
  • An if statement can be followed by an optional else statement, which executes when the Boolean expression is false.
• switch statement
  • A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values.
• C goto
  • The goto statement in C/C++ also referred to as the unconditional jump statement can be used to jump from one point to another within a function.

 Additional Information

• C break:
  • This loop control statement is used to terminate the loop.
  • As soon as the break statement is encountered from within a loop, the loop iterations stop there, and control returns from the loop immediately to the first statement after the loop.

Just as Needle is a part/component of the Clock, similarly Blade is a part/component of Fan.

Thus the related word pair is Fan : Blade.

The correct answer is Option(2).i.e.Alpha Decay.     

• In radioactivity, the emission consists of the Helium nucleus sustains under Alpha Decay. 
• Alpha Decay: 
  • It is basically responsible for the emission of the Helium nucleus. 
  • An alpha particle is consists of two neutrons & two protons which is the same as a helium nucleus.
  • We generally use 24He to implement an alpha particle which has a 2+ charge.
  • The original atomic number of the atom decreases by two (because of the loss of two protons), and its mass number decreases by four (because of the loss of four nuclear particles) when a radioactive atom throws down an alpha particle. 
• Emission of Alpha Particle: 
  •  The emission of an alpha particle can be present with a chemical equation: 
  • For example, the alpha-particle emission of uranium-235 is as follows:
       ²³⁵U₉₂→⁴He₂ + ²³⁵Th₉₀  

The disease Kala-Azar is caused by the protozoan Leishmania donovani

Leishmania donovani: 

• It is a parasitic protozoan belonging to the class Mastigophora or flagellata.
• It is a human parasite that is dimorphic (i.e. shows two forms) & digenetic in nature
• It causes the disease Kala-azar or Dumdum fever by sand fly (phelobotomus)
• The disease is spread by the bite of infected sand-fly
• It can affect the Skin (Cutaneous Leishmaniasis), the mucous membrane of the mouth, throat, and nose (Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis), Liver, lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow (Visceral Leishmaniasis)
• Symptoms include: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis - Skin ulcers
• Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis - Ulcers in mouth, throat, and nose, Nosebleed, Difficulty in breathing.
• Visceral Leishmaniasis - Weakness, weight loss, loss of appetite, enlarged spleen, liver, lymph nodes, a decrease in the production of blood cells.

The correct answer is 4°C.

• Freezing of Water:
  • As water freezes, cold water (or ice formed) comes on the surface and warm water goes down.
  • Since the freezing temperature of the water is 0ºC or 273 K.
  • So water at the bottom should be at a higher temperature.
  • Water density at 4ºC is more than the density of water at 0ºC, hence the correct option is 4ºC.

​Key Points

• Reason of low temperature at bottom of the top layer:
  • This is due to the process of convection.
  • When the temperature of the water at the top layer reaches the freezing point, it is converted to ice.
  • But ice is lighter than water, so it will not sink to the bottom.
  • So there will be ice on the top surface and water would remain at the bottom of the lake.
