The question asks to identify the individual authorized to act as the Chairperson of Lokpal from May 28, 2022. This requires knowledge of recent appointments and acting roles within the Lokpal body in India.
B) Justice Pradip Kumar Mohanty was authorized to act as the Chairperson of Lokpal with effect from May 28, 2022, following the retirement of the previous Chairperson, Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose. He was the senior-most judicial member at that time.
To find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock, we need to calculate the individual angles made by each hand with respect to the 12 o'clock position (which we consider as 0 degrees) and then find the absolute difference between these two angles.
The minute hand completes a full circle (360°) in 60 minutes. So, its speed is \(360^\circ / 60 \text{ minutes} = 6^\circ\) per minute.
At 5:26, the minute hand is at 26 minutes past the hour.
Angle of minute hand from 12:
\[ \text{Angle}_{\text{minute}} = 26 \text{ minutes} \times 6^\circ/\text{minute} = 156^\circ \]The hour hand completes a full circle (360°) in 12 hours. So, its speed is \(360^\circ / 12 \text{ hours} = 30^\circ\) per hour.
It also moves as minutes pass. In 60 minutes, it moves \(30^\circ\), so in 1 minute, it moves \(30^\circ / 60 = 0.5^\circ\) per minute.
At 5:26, the hour hand has moved past the 5 o'clock mark. The total time in hours from 12 o'clock can be expressed as \(5 \text{ hours} + 26/60 \text{ hours}\).
Angle of hour hand from 12:
\[ \text{Angle}_{\text{hour}} = (5 \text{ hours} \times 30^\circ/\text{hour}) + (26 \text{ minutes} \times 0.5^\circ/\text{minute}) \] \[ \text{Angle}_{\text{hour}} = 150^\circ + 13^\circ = 163^\circ \]The angle between the two hands is the absolute difference between their individual angles.
\[ \text{Angle}_{\text{between}} = |\text{Angle}_{\text{hour}} - \text{Angle}_{\text{minute}}| \] \[ \text{Angle}_{\text{between}} = |163^\circ - 156^\circ| = 7^\circ \]Correct Option: A) 7°
We need to find the present age of the younger person. We are given two conditions: the age difference between two persons and a relationship between their ages five years ago. We can set up a system of linear equations based on these conditions and solve for the unknown ages.
B) 20 years. The present age of the younger person is 20 years, as calculated from the equations.
The problem is a coding-decoding question. We need to identify the pattern or rule applied to transform the given words and then apply the same rule to the target word 'TRICK'. We will analyze the given examples to find the common transformation.
Correct Option: C) SQHBJ — This option correctly applies the identified pattern of shifting each letter one position backward in the alphabet.
The question asks for the year in which the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award was renamed as the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. This is a factual question related to current affairs and sports awards in India.
B) 2021 — The renaming of the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award to Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award took place in August 2021.
To find the loss percentage, we first need to calculate the actual loss by subtracting the selling price from the cost price. Then, we use the formula for loss percentage, which is (Loss / Cost Price) × 100.
Since the selling price is less than the cost price, there is a loss.
\[ \text{Loss} = \text{Cost Price} - \text{Selling Price} \]Substitute the given values:
\[ \text{Loss} = 2500 - 2375 = 125 \]The formula for loss percentage is:
\[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100 \]Substitute the calculated loss and the cost price:
\[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{125}{2500} \right) \times 100 \]Simplify the fraction:
\[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{1}{20} \right) \times 100 \]Perform the multiplication:
\[ \text{Loss Percentage} = 5 \% \]Correct Option: A) 5 %
The problem asks us to identify which of the given assumptions are implicit in the provided statement. An implicit assumption is something that is not explicitly stated but must be true for the statement to make sense or be valid. We need to evaluate each assumption independently against the statement.
B) Neither assumption I nor II is implicit
The following chart shows the production of an organization in various years from 2012 to 2016. Study the chart and answer the question.
What was the percentage increase in production from 2015 to 2016?
To find the percentage increase in production from 2015 to 2016, we need to calculate the difference in production between these years and then express this difference as a percentage of the 2015 production.
Thus, the percentage increase in production from 2015 to 2016 is 50%.
Correct Option: A) 50%
Three products, ____, ____ and ____ are produced in the chlor-alkali process.
Chlorine, Hydrogen, Na2CO3
Chlorine, oxygen, Na2CO3
Hydrogen, Chlorine, NaOH
Oxygen, Hydrogen, NaOH
The question asks to identify the three main products of the chlor-alkali process. This process is an important industrial method for producing several key chemicals by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (brine).
C) Hydrogen, Chlorine, NaOH — These are indeed the three primary products of the chlor-alkali process, as derived from the electrolysis of brine.
The question asks to identify the specific non-violent protest in 1930 that targeted the British monopoly on salt production. We need to recall the major movements led by Mahatma Gandhi and their specific objectives and timelines.
Correct Option: C) The Dandi March, also known as the Salt March, was a specific non-violent protest led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930 against the British salt monopoly. It marked the beginning of the wider Civil Disobedience Movement.
