The question asks for the total number of member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) as of October 2020. This requires knowledge of the organizational structure and membership of international bodies like WHO.
C) 194 — As of October 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) had 194 member states. This number has been consistent since South Sudan joined in 2011 and Niue and the Cook Islands became associate members in 2017, bringing the total to 194 member states and 2 associate members. The question specifically asks for member states, not associate members.
The question asks to identify the Viceroy of British India responsible for organizing the statistical survey of India. This requires knowledge of the administrative reforms and initiatives undertaken by various Viceroys during their tenure.
D) Lord Mayo — Lord Mayo (1869-1872) is credited with organizing the statistical survey of India. He also initiated the first systematic census in India in 1872, though it was not synchronous. His administration focused on financial decentralization and agricultural reforms, for which accurate data was crucial.
When two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal to the ratio of their perimeters. We can use this property to find the length of the unknown side.
Identify the given information:
Recall the property of similar triangles regarding perimeters and corresponding sides:
If two triangles are similar, the ratio of their perimeters is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.
So, for \(\Delta XYZ \sim \Delta LMN\), we have:
\[ \frac{\text{Perimeter}(\Delta XYZ)}{\text{Perimeter}(\Delta LMN)} = \frac{XY}{LM} = \frac{YZ}{MN} = \frac{ZX}{NL} \]Substitute the given values into the ratio involving \(XY\) and \(LM\):
\[ \frac{48}{32} = \frac{XY}{12} \]Solve for \(XY\):
First, simplify the ratio \(\frac{48}{32}\). Both numbers are divisible by 16:
\[ \frac{48 \div 16}{32 \div 16} = \frac{3}{2} \]Now, the equation becomes:
\[ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{XY}{12} \]Multiply both sides by 12 to find \(XY\):
\[ XY = \frac{3}{2} \times 12 \]\[ XY = 3 \times 6 \]\[ XY = 18 \text{ cm} \]A) 18 cm is the correct length of side XY, as calculated using the property of similar triangles.

The problem requires us to decode a pattern from a given word-to-code mapping and then apply that pattern to a new word. We need to analyze the positional changes or transformations of each letter from the original word to its coded form.
Word: P I S T A
Code: O G P P V
The pattern is a decreasing shift: \(-1, -2, -3, -4, -5\).
Z J J K I X
Correct Option: C) ZJJKIX
To convert a decimal representation of hours into hours, minutes, and seconds, we need to separate the whole number part (hours) from the decimal part. The decimal part then needs to be converted into minutes by multiplying by 60, and any remaining decimal part from the minutes needs to be converted into seconds by multiplying by 60 again.
The given time is 9.23 hours. The whole number part is 9, so we have 9 hours.
The decimal part is 0.23 hours. To convert this to minutes, multiply by 60 (since 1 hour = 60 minutes).
\[ \text{Minutes} = 0.23 \times 60 \] \[ \text{Minutes} = 13.8 \]So, we have 13 whole minutes.
The decimal part from the minutes calculation is 0.8 minutes. To convert this to seconds, multiply by 60 (since 1 minute = 60 seconds).
\[ \text{Seconds} = 0.8 \times 60 \] \[ \text{Seconds} = 48 \]So, we have 48 seconds.
Putting it all together, 9.23 hours is 9 hours, 13 minutes, and 48 seconds.
Correct Option: B) 9 hours, 13 minutes, 48 seconds
The question asks to identify the economist who coined the term 'Hindu rate of growth' to describe India's slow economic growth during a specific period. This requires knowledge of prominent economists associated with Indian economic history and their contributions.
B) Raj Krishna is widely credited with coining the term 'Hindu rate of growth' in 1978. He used this phrase to describe the low annual growth rate of the Indian economy (around \(3.5\%\)) from the 1950s to the 1980s, which was perceived as stagnant and insufficient for poverty alleviation and development.
The question asks for the location of the Radio Astronomy Centre of India. This is a factual question requiring knowledge of major scientific research facilities in India.
Correct Option: D) Udhagamandalam is the correct answer. The Radio Astronomy Centre (RAC), a national facility of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), is located in Udhagamandalam (Ooty), Tamil Nadu. It operates the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT).
