Question Discussion & Solution

The pattern followed here is as follows,

The correct answer is carbon.

Key Points

• A fullerene is an allotrope of carbon whose molecule consists of carbon atoms connected by single and double bonds so as to form a closed or partially closed mesh, with fused rings of five to seven atoms.
  • The molecule may be a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, or many other shapes and sizes.
• Various allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite, lonsdaleite, fullerene, C-540, C-70, amorphous carbon, carbon nanotube.
• Diamond and crystalline silicon are isomorphous because they both have a three-dimensional tetrahedral structure.
• Allotropy, the existence of a chemical element in two or more forms, which may differ in the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids or in the occurrence of molecules that contain different numbers of atoms.

Additional Information

• When an element exists in more than one crystalline form, those forms are called allotropes; the two most common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite.
  • One of the allotropic form of a carbon is a fullerene in which “carbon atoms” are “arranged in a sphere”.
  • Each sphere has 60 carbon atoms and each carbon atom is linked by a single covalent.
  • The fullerene is considered as purest allotrope of “carbon” because they have “smooth structure” without having dangling bonds.

The correct answer is In 1600.

• In 1600, the East India Company was established.

Key Points

•  The Governor and company of merchants of London trading into the East Indies, popularly known as the English East India Company, were formed in 1600 AD.
• Captain William Hawkins arrived at Jahangir’s court (1609 AD) to seek permission to open a factory in Surat. A Farman was issued by Jahangir, permitting the English to build a factory in Surat (1613 AD).
• Sir Thomas Roe visited Jahangir’s court (1615 AD) as an ambassador of King James I to seek permission to trade in India.

Additional Information

• The Dutch East India Company established factories in India at Masulipatnam in 1605 AD, Pulicat (1610 AD), Surat (1616 AD), Bimlipatam (1641 AD), Karaikal (1645 AD).
• The French East India Company was formed in 1664 AD by Colbert under state patronage during the reign of Louis XIV. 

The correct answer is MICR.

Key Points

•  MICR- Magnetic Ink Character Recognition
  • It is a technology used primarily to identify and process checks.
  • The MICR on a check is the string of characters that appears at the bottom left of the check.
  • It consists of three groups of numbers, including the bank routing number, the account number, and the check number.

Additional Information

•  OCR- Optical Character Recognition
  • It is a widespread technology to recognize text inside images, such as scanned documents and photos.
  • It is used to convert virtually any kind of image containing written text (typed, handwritten, or printed) into machine-readable text data.
• OMR- Optical Mark Recognition
  • It is the process of reading information that people mark on surveys, tests, and other paper documents.
• IFSC- Indian Financial System Code
  • It represents the 11 digit character on our bank’s cheque leaves, or other bank-sponsored material.
  • This 11 character code helps identify the individual bank branches that participate in the various online money transfer options like NEFT and RTGS.

The Correct Answer is Option (2) i.e C.

• The C language is also known as the mother of all programming languages.
• C is a general-purpose programming language that is used for creating a variety of applications.
• C language was originally developed for writing operating systems. Unix Kernel and all of its supporting tools and libraries are written in C language.
• The C language is used for the following operations :
  • Operating systems
  • Development of new languages
  • Computation platforms
  • Embedded systems
  • Graphics and Games
• C++ and Java are the high-level languages and COBOL is a compiled English-like computer programming language.
