'Flights', a novel about travel in the 21st century and human anatomy is written by which of the following Booker prize winner (2018) writers?
Taslima Nasreen
Arundhati Roy
Olga Tokarczuk
Virginie Despentes
The question asks to identify the Booker Prize winner (2018) who wrote the novel 'Flights', which deals with themes of travel and human anatomy. This requires knowledge of contemporary literature and specific literary awards.
C) Olga Tokarczuk — Olga Tokarczuk won the Man Booker International Prize in 2018 for her novel 'Flights'. The novel is known for its unique structure and exploration of themes related to travel, human anatomy, and the transient nature of existence.
The question asks about the origin of the development of the 'Flying-V' aircraft concept. This is a factual question related to current affairs and technological advancements in aviation. To answer correctly, one needs to recall which country's researchers are associated with this specific project.
Correct Option: C) The Flying-V aircraft concept was developed by researchers in the Netherlands, specifically from TU Delft in collaboration with KLM.
Three wires of resistance 3 ohm, 6 ohm and 9 ohm are connected in a parallel. What will be the total resistance of the circuit?
11 ohms
\( \frac{11}{18} \) ohms
\( \frac{18}{11} \) ohms
18 ohms
To find the total resistance of resistors connected in parallel, we use the formula for equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit. The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of individual resistances.
Correct Option: C) \( \frac{18}{11} \) ohms
Which of the following is true regarding CO2?
It is a linear electrovalent molecule.
It has a white foggy colour and a pungent gas-like smell.
It is not soluble in water, ethanol and acetone.
The solid form of CO2 is called dry ice.
The question asks to identify the correct statement about carbon dioxide (\(\text{CO}_2\)). We need to evaluate each option based on the known chemical and physical properties of \(\text{CO}_2\).
Correct Option: D) The solid form of \(\text{CO}_2\) is called dry ice.
This problem involves finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers given their ratio and their Highest Common Factor (HCF). We will use the fundamental relationship between two numbers, their HCF, and their LCM.
Let the two numbers be \(A\) and \(B\). We are given that their ratio is \(3:4\). So, we can write:
\[ \frac{A}{B} = \frac{3}{4} \]This means we can express the numbers as multiples of a common factor. Since the HCF is given as 4, we can write the numbers as:
\[ A = 3 \times \text{HCF} \]\[ B = 4 \times \text{HCF} \]Substitute the given HCF value, which is 4:
\[ A = 3 \times 4 = 12 \]\[ B = 4 \times 4 = 16 \]Now we have the two numbers: 12 and 16. We need to find their LCM.
We can use the property that for any two positive integers \(A\) and \(B\):
\[ A \times B = \text{HCF}(A, B) \times \text{LCM}(A, B) \]Substitute the values of \(A\), \(B\), and HCF into the formula:
\[ 12 \times 16 = 4 \times \text{LCM} \]Calculate the product on the left side:
\[ 192 = 4 \times \text{LCM} \]Solve for LCM:
\[ \text{LCM} = \frac{192}{4} \]\[ \text{LCM} = 48 \]B) 48 — The LCM of the two numbers (12 and 16) is 48, which is correctly derived using the relationship between the numbers, their HCF, and LCM.
This is a seating arrangement and direction-based reasoning problem. We need to deduce the seating positions and the directions each person is facing based on the given clues. We will use a systematic approach to place each person and determine their facing direction.
Based on our deductions:
The question asks for the direction M is facing.
B) South. As determined in the step-by-step analysis, M is facing South.
The question asks to identify the person among the given options who has NOT received a Nobel Prize. This requires knowledge of Nobel laureates from India or of Indian origin.
Correct Option: B) Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures of the 20th century for his philosophy of nonviolent resistance (Satyagraha). He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize five times (in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and 1948), but he never actually received the award. The Nobel Committee has expressed regret for this omission in retrospect.
To determine which argument is strong, we need to evaluate each argument's relevance, factual accuracy, and logical strength in relation to the given statement. A strong argument should provide a compelling reason for or against the statement, based on generally accepted facts or principles.
Correct Option: B) Only argument II is strong.
The question asks to identify the edible part of a potato plant. This requires knowledge of plant morphology and common edible plant parts.
Correct Option: D) Stem. The edible part of a potato plant is a modified underground stem called a tuber, which stores food.
The question asks to identify the INCORRECT statement among the given options related to computer and internet history/terminology. We need to evaluate each statement for its factual accuracy.
Comparing the options, statement D contains a clear and unambiguous factual error.
Correct Option: D) In internet terminology, IP means Internet Practice. This statement is incorrect because IP stands for 'Internet Protocol'.
