The question asks about a specific scheme launched by the central government in December 2017 to protect a particular area in Assam from floods and erosion. This requires knowledge of current affairs and government initiatives related to disaster management and environmental protection in the region.
Correct Option: C) Majuli Island is a large river island in the Brahmaputra River in Assam. It has been severely affected by floods and erosion for decades, leading to significant land loss. Recognizing its ecological and cultural significance (it is a UNESCO World Heritage site nominee), the central government launched a dedicated scheme in December 2017 to protect it from the devastating effects of floods and erosion. The scheme involved anti-erosion measures and bank protection works.
To find the amount of electric charge flowing through a circuit, we use the fundamental relationship between current, charge, and time. The current is defined as the rate of flow of charge. Therefore, if we know the current and the time for which it flows, we can calculate the total charge.
Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, we convert 9 minutes to seconds:
\[ t = 9 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \frac{\text{seconds}}{\text{minute}} = 540 \text{ seconds} \]The relationship between current (\(I\)), charge (\(Q\)), and time (\(t\)) is given by:
\[ I = \frac{Q}{t} \]D) 405 C is the correct answer. The calculation shows that 405 Coulombs of charge flow through the circuit.
The question asks for the location of Essar Steel Limited, Hazira. This is a factual question related to industrial geography in India. Identifying the correct state requires knowledge of major industrial hubs and the companies associated with them.
Correct Option: B) Gujarat
Essar Steel Limited, Hazira, is a significant steel manufacturing facility located in Hazira, which is an industrial town near Surat in the state of Gujarat, India. Gujarat is known for its robust industrial infrastructure, including ports and manufacturing units.
The question asks us to evaluate the strength of two arguments regarding whether employee medical insurance should cover dental care. A strong argument is one that is logical, relevant, and provides a compelling reason to support or oppose the statement. A weak argument is often based on assumptions, irrelevant information, or partial truths.
C) Only argument I is strong. Argument I clearly states that dental treatment is costly and insurance would benefit employees, which is a valid and strong reason for its inclusion. Argument II makes a false generalization that all dental treatments include cosmetic changes, which is not true and thus makes the argument weak.
The question asks to identify the individual who first proposed the idea of a Constituent Assembly for India. This is a factual question related to the historical development of India's constitution-making process.
B) M.N. Roy — M.N. Roy, an Indian communist leader and an advocate of radical humanism, was the first to propose the idea of a Constituent Assembly for India in 1934. This idea was later officially adopted by the Indian National Congress in 1935.

The value of \(\left(-\sqrt{\frac{144}{576}}\right)\times-\frac{16}{\sqrt{64}}\) is:
To solve this problem, we need to simplify the given expression by evaluating the square roots and then performing the multiplication. We will simplify each term separately and then combine them.
The first term is \(-\sqrt{\frac{144}{576}}\).
First, find the square root of the numerator and the denominator separately:
\[ \sqrt{144} = 12 \] \[ \sqrt{576} = 24 \]So, the fraction inside the square root becomes:
\[ \sqrt{\frac{144}{576}} = \frac{\sqrt{144}}{\sqrt{576}} = \frac{12}{24} \]Simplify the fraction:
\[ \frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2} \]Therefore, the first term is:
\[ -\sqrt{\frac{144}{576}} = -\frac{1}{2} \]The second term is \(-\frac{16}{\sqrt{64}}\).
First, find the square root of the denominator:
\[ \sqrt{64} = 8 \]So, the second term becomes:
\[ -\frac{16}{\sqrt{64}} = -\frac{16}{8} \]Simplify the fraction:
\[ -\frac{16}{8} = -2 \]Now, multiply the simplified first term by the simplified second term:
\[ \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \times (-2) \]When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is positive:
\[ \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \times (-2) = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1 \]C) 1 — The step-by-step calculation shows that the value of the expression is 1.
Who among the following won the Best Director Award at the 62nd Filmfare Awards (2017) for the film Dangal?
Nitesh Tiwari
Kabir Khan
Rajkumar Hirani
Karan Johar
The question asks to identify the director who won the Best Director award at the 62nd Filmfare Awards (2017) for the film "Dangal". This requires knowledge of major film awards and their recipients for specific years.
The 62nd Filmfare Awards ceremony, honoring the best in Hindi cinema of 2016, was held on January 14, 2017. Nitesh Tiwari won the Best Director award for his critically acclaimed film "Dangal".
Correct Option: A) Nitesh Tiwari
A boy is walking at a speed of P km/h to cover a distance of 1 km. However, due to slippery ground, his speed decreases by Q km/h (P > Q). If he takes R hours to cover the distance, then find the relation between R and Q.
\( \frac{1}{R} \) = P - Q
R + P - Q
R = P + Q
\( \frac{1}{R} \) = \( \frac{1}{P} \) + \( \frac{1}{Q} \)
This problem involves the fundamental relationship between distance, speed, and time. We are given the initial speed, the reduction in speed, the total distance, and the time taken. We need to find the correct mathematical relationship between these variables.
Due to slippery ground, the boy's speed decreases. So, the actual speed at which he covers the distance is the initial speed minus the decrease in speed.
\[ \text{Actual Speed} = \text{Initial Speed} - \text{Decrease in Speed} \]\[ \text{Actual Speed} = (P - Q) \text{ km/h} \]The basic formula relating distance, speed, and time is:
\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]We have Distance = \(1\) km, Actual Speed = \((P - Q)\) km/h, and Time = \(R\) hours.
\[ 1 = (P - Q) \times R \]To match the options, we can express the equation in terms of \(\frac{1}{R}\) or \(R\).
Divide both sides by \(R\):
\[ \frac{1}{R} = P - Q \]This equation matches option A.
A) \( \frac{1}{R} \) = P - Q
As derived in the step-by-step explanation, the actual speed is \((P - Q)\) km/h, and the distance is \(1\) km. Using the formula \( \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \), we get \( 1 = (P - Q) \times R \). Rearranging this gives \( \frac{1}{R} = P - Q \).
