A recently discovered bird species named 'Himalayan Forest Thrush' was found in ________. (as of 2016)
Dehradun
Northeast India
Uttarakhand
Ladakh Region
The question asks about the discovery location of the 'Himalayan Forest Thrush' as of 2016. This requires knowledge of recent ornithological discoveries in India.
Correct Option: B) Northeast India
The Himalayan Forest Thrush was formally described as a new species in 2016. It was identified from populations in Northeast India and parts of China, distinguishing it from the Plain-backed Thrush (Zoothera mollissima) which inhabits the same region but at higher altitudes and in different habitats. The discovery highlighted the biodiversity richness of the region.
The question asks for an alternative name for Leprosy. This is a direct factual recall question related to medical terminology and common disease names. We need to identify the historically and scientifically recognized alternative name for Leprosy from the given options.
Correct Option: B) Hansen's disease — Leprosy is also known as Hansen's disease, named after the Norwegian physician Gerhard Armauer Hansen, who identified the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae in 1873 as the causative agent of the disease.
The question asks to identify the odd one out among the given options in relation to World Heritage Sites. This requires knowledge of which of these landmarks are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Correct Option: A) Rashtrapati Bhavan is the odd one out because, unlike the other options, it is not a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
One side of a rectangle is 12 m and its diagonal is 13 m. Find its area.
To find the area of a rectangle, we need its length and width. We are given one side (which can be considered either length or width) and the diagonal. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the other side, as the diagonal of a rectangle forms a right-angled triangle with two adjacent sides.
Let the given side of the rectangle be the length, \(l = 12 \text{ m}\).
Let the diagonal of the rectangle be \(d = 13 \text{ m}\).
Let the unknown side (width) be \(w\).
In a rectangle, the diagonal, length, and width form a right-angled triangle. According to the Pythagorean theorem:
\[ l^2 + w^2 = d^2 \]Substitute the given values into the equation:
\[ (12 \text{ m})^2 + w^2 = (13 \text{ m})^2 \]Calculate the squares:
\[ 144 \text{ m}^2 + w^2 = 169 \text{ m}^2 \]Solve for \(w^2\):
\[ w^2 = 169 \text{ m}^2 - 144 \text{ m}^2 \]\[ w^2 = 25 \text{ m}^2 \]Take the square root to find \(w\):
\[ w = \sqrt{25 \text{ m}^2} \]\[ w = 5 \text{ m} \]Now that we have both the length and the width, we can calculate the area of the rectangle. The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
\[ \text{Area} = l \times w \]Substitute the values of \(l\) and \(w\):
\[ \text{Area} = 12 \text{ m} \times 5 \text{ m} \]\[ \text{Area} = 60 \text{ m}^2 \]Correct Option: A) 60 m\(^2\)
The question asks to identify the coach of the Indian U-19 cricket team for the 2016 World Cup. This is a factual recall question related to sports history, specifically Indian cricket.
Correct Option: A) Rahul Dravid was indeed the coach for the Indian U-19 team during the 2016 World Cup held in Bangladesh. He played a crucial role in mentoring young talents during that period.
Read the given statements carefully and answer the question.
Statement:
I. Domestic price of petrol has gone down.
II. International price of crude oil has decreased.
I is the cause and II is the effect.
II is the cause and I is the effect.
I and II are independent of each other.
I and II are effects of independent causes.
This question asks us to identify the cause-and-effect relationship between two statements: a decrease in the domestic price of petrol and a decrease in the international price of crude oil. We need to understand how these two factors are related in the global and domestic economy.
B) II is the cause and I is the effect. This option correctly identifies that a fall in international crude oil prices is the primary reason for a decrease in domestic petrol prices.
This problem involves calculating the actual distance between two places given a map scale and the distance measured on the map. The key is to use the provided scale to convert the map distance into the actual distance.
Actual Distance \(=\) Map Distance \(\times\) Scale Factor
\[ \text{Actual Distance} = 22.25 \text{ cm} \times 18.5 \frac{\text{km}}{\text{cm}} \] \[ \text{Actual Distance} = 411.625 \text{ km} \]Thus, the actual distance between places A and B is \(411.625 \text{ km}\).
Correct Option: A) 411.625
The question asks to identify the odd one out from the given options. This requires understanding the nature or category of each option and finding the one that doesn't fit with the others.
Correct Option: B) Silicon Valley is the odd one out because it is a technological hub located in the USA, while the other three (Silent Valley, Indus Valley, Damodar Valley) are geographical regions located in India or historically associated with the Indian subcontinent.
The question asks to identify the badminton player who received the Arjuna Award in 2015. This requires knowledge of sports awards and their recipients in specific years.
Correct Option: A) Kidambi Srikanth was conferred the Arjuna Award for badminton in 2015. He is a prominent Indian badminton player who has achieved significant success on the international stage.
If 'you are john' is written as 'net let fat', 'who are you' is 'let wet net' and 'john is good' is 'get set fat', which represents 'is'?
This is a coding-decoding problem where words are assigned specific codes. We need to identify the code for the word 'is' by comparing the given statements and eliminating common codes for common words.
Words common to both statements are "you" and "are".
Codes common to both statements are "net" and "let".
Therefore, "you" and "are" correspond to "net" and "let" (not necessarily in that order).
The word common to both statements is "john".
The code common to both statements is "fat".
Therefore, "john" represents "fat".
Since "you are john" is "net let fat", and we know:
This information is consistent, but doesn't help isolate "is" yet.
We have "john is good" is "get set fat".
We already know "john" = "fat".
So, the remaining words "is" and "good" must correspond to the remaining codes "get" and "set".
However, we cannot definitively determine whether "is" is "get" or "set". Both are possible.
D) cannot be determined
Based on the analysis, the word "is" can be either "get" or "set". There isn't enough information to uniquely identify the code for "is".
