The question asks to identify the recipient of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Biological Sciences for 2021 from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. This requires knowledge of recent scientific awards and their recipients.
The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology is one of the highest multidisciplinary science awards in India. For 2021, the award in Biological Sciences was given to Dr. Amit Singh from the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and Dr. Arun Kumar Shukla from the Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
Since the question specifically asks for the recipient from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, Dr. Amit Singh is the correct answer.
B) Amit Singh — Dr. Amit Singh, from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, was one of the two recipients of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Biological Sciences for 2021.
The problem is a coding-decoding question. We need to identify the pattern used to transform the given words and then apply the same pattern to the target word.
D) PHZJX is the correct code for 'NEVER' based on the identified pattern.
To solve this problem, we first represent the five consecutive even numbers algebraically. Then, we use the given sum to find the value of the first number. Once the numbers are known, we can easily calculate the sum of the third and fifth numbers.
Let the first even number be \(x\). Since the numbers are consecutive even numbers, they will differ by 2. So, the five consecutive even numbers can be represented as:
The sum of these five numbers is given as 2720. So, we can write the equation:
\[ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 2720 \]
Combine like terms:
\[ 5x + (2 + 4 + 6 + 8) = 2720 \] \[ 5x + 20 = 2720 \] Subtract 20 from both sides:
\[ 5x = 2720 - 20 \] \[ 5x = 2700 \] Divide by 5:
\[ x = \frac{2700}{5} \] \[ x = 540 \]
Using the value of \(x = 540\):
\[ \text{Sum} = 544 + 548 = 1092 \]
Correct Option: D) 1092
The question asks about the number of High Courts in India as of March 2022. This is a factual question related to the Indian judiciary. To answer correctly, one needs to recall the current number of High Courts.
B) 25. As of March 2022, India has 25 High Courts. The High Court of Andhra Pradesh and the High Court of Telangana were established on January 1, 2019, making them the 25th High Courts in the country.
The question asks to identify the first fullerene discovered. Fullerenes are a class of carbon allotropes. We need to recall the specific fullerene that was historically identified first.
B) C-60 is the correct answer because Buckminsterfullerene, or C-60, was the first fullerene to be identified and characterized.
The question asks about the primary function of bile salts in the digestion process. We need to recall the role of bile in fat digestion.
Correct Option: A) They break up big fat globules into small globules.
This statement accurately describes the process of emulsification, which is the primary role of bile salts in fat digestion. Emulsification increases the surface area for lipase action.
This problem involves arranging people based on their relative heights. We need to deduce the height order of all individuals mentioned and then use the given constraints about the number of people taller or shorter than specific individuals to determine the total number of people in the group.
First, let's list the given height relationships:
Now, let's combine all these relationships to form a single height sequence:
Let's link them:
\(E > C > B > F > A > D\)
This gives us a sequence of 6 distinct people: E, C, B, F, A, D.
Next, let's use the additional constraints:
Finally, let's count the total number of people in this complete sequence:
The sequence is \(X, E, C, B, F, A, D, Y, Z\).
Counting them, we have 9 distinct people.
The problem states, "If no other person is part of the group," which confirms that our derived sequence includes all individuals.
Refer to the following letter, number and symbol series and answer the question:
(Left) H T & Q % 9 D 6 @ 6 L & 4 P Z # 5 7 U * Y (Right)
How many such symbols are there in the series which are immediately preceded by a letter and also immediately followed by a number?
The problem asks us to identify the number of symbols in a given series that are immediately preceded by a letter and immediately followed by a number. We need to scan the series from left to right and apply this condition to each symbol.
D) Three
The question asks for the definition of an aquifer. We need to identify the option that accurately describes this geological formation.
D) Water stored underground between layers of hard rock — This definition accurately describes an aquifer. Aquifers are geological formations, such as layers of sand, gravel, or fractured rock, that can store and transmit significant quantities of groundwater. They are typically confined by less permeable or impermeable layers (often referred to as 'hard rock' in a general sense) above and below, which helps in retaining the water.
Study the given diagram carefully and answer the question. The numbers in different sections indicate the number of persons.
How many such Female Scientists are there who are NOT from an Urban area?
To solve this problem, we need to identify the number of Female Scientists who are not from an Urban area using the Venn diagram provided.
Correct Option: B) 4
