Question Discussion & Solution

Bahlul Lodhi was the founder of the Lodhi Dynasty in 1451. By the end of the 15th-century Bahlul Lodi firmly established the Lodi dynasty at Delhi. He succeeded in bringing a large area of North India under his control. After his death, his son Sikandar Lodi succeeded him to the throne.

• In the sixteenth century the Lodi Empire, under Sultan Sikandar Lodi, in North India reached its zenith.
• The annexation of Dholpur paved the way for the expansion of Afghan rule in the regions of Rajputana and Malwa. The forts of Narwar and Chanderi were annexed while the Khanzada of Nagaur acknowledged the suzerainty of the Lodi Sultan in 1510-11.
• In short, the whole of North India, from Punjab in the northwest to Saran and Champaran in north Bihar in the east, and Chanderi to the south of Delhi were brought under the Lodi rule.
• Unlike his father, Sultan Ibrahim Lodi had to face the hostility of the 108 Political Structures Afghan nobility soon after his accession to the throne in 1517.

The rulers of Delhi:

The correct answer is Calcium carbonate.

Important Points

• Calcium carbonate and its forms:
  • In nature, calcium carbonate occurs in the forms of chalk, limestone, and marble.
  • Formation:
    • ​The skeletal remains of dead sea animals sink to the seabed. Over millions of years, layer build-up and pressure from the top layer changes the bottom layer into chalk. 
  • Earth movements due to earthquake lift the layer of chalk to the Earth's surface. 
  • The earth's movements can also cause the layers to sink further. Thus, high pressure and heat cause the chalk to turn into much harder limestone. 
  • The limestone deposit may stay below the Earth for a longer time and due to higher pressure and temperature, the limestone turns to marble.

The correct answer is www.gmail.com.

• www.gmail.com is not a search engine.

The correct answer is Register, Cache, RAM, Hard disk.

• Register

• RAM 
  • RAM is a hardware element where the data being currently used is stored.
  • It is a volatile memory.
  • Two types of RAM are
    • Static RAM, or (SRAM) and
    • Dynamic RAM, or (DRAM).
• Register
  • A register holds instructions or data that the processor is working on or will be working on shortly.
  • They form part of the processor and are capable of holding only one item at a time.
• Cache 
  • Cache memory is an area in the computer where codes and instructions are stored.
• Hard disk
  • A hard disk drive is an electromechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage.

• There are four major storage levels on the computer:
  • Internal –
    • Processor registers and cache.
  • Main –
    • The system RAM and controller cards.
  • On-line mass storage –
    • Secondary storage.
  • Off-line bulk storage –
    • Tertiary and Off-line storage.

Functional cohesion:

A module is said to possess functional cohesion, if different functions of the module co-operate to complete a single task.

Example of Functional cohesion

A module containing all the functions required to manage employees’ pay-roll displays functional cohesion
