The question asks to identify an animal species that is special or endemic to the Western Ghats region. This requires knowledge of the distribution and endemicity of various animal species found in India.
The Nilgiri tahr is an endangered mountain ungulate that is endemic to the Nilgiri Hills and parts of the Western Ghats in southern India. Its distribution is highly restricted to these high-altitude grasslands and rocky cliffs. This makes it a species special to the Western Ghats.
Correct Option: D) Nilgiri tahr is an endangered species endemic to the Western Ghats, particularly the Nilgiri Hills. Its restricted habitat makes it special to this region.
A statement is given followed by two inferences. Decide which of the inferences can be drawn from the given statement.
Statement:
Some students who do not perform well in the written exam still rank high in the merit list for admission to College A.
Inferences:
1. Candidates who perform well in the written exam never make it to the merit list for admission to College A.
2. Criteria other than written examinations are also considered for admission to College A.
Only 2 can be inferred.
Neither 1 nor 2 can be inferred.
Only 1 can be inferred.
Both 1 and 2 can be inferred.
The problem asks us to evaluate two inferences based on a given statement. We need to determine which inference logically follows from the statement. The statement indicates that some students who perform poorly in the written exam can still achieve a high rank in the merit list for College A.
A) Only 2 can be inferred. Inference 2 logically follows from the statement because if students with poor written exam scores can still rank high, it implies that other criteria are being used for admission.
The question asks to identify a characteristic property of metalloids. Metalloids are elements that have properties intermediate between those of metals and non-metals. We need to evaluate each given option in the context of metalloid properties.
D) Semiconductor — Metalloids like silicon and germanium are well-known for their semiconductor properties, meaning their electrical conductivity is intermediate between that of metals and insulators. This is a defining characteristic of many metalloids and is crucial for their applications in electronics.
The question asks for the date when ISRO's Mangalyaan (Mars Orbiter Mission - MOM) successfully entered Mars' orbit. This requires recalling the specific date of this significant event in India's space history.
C) 24 September 2014 — This is the correct date when ISRO's Mangalyaan successfully entered the orbit of Mars, making India the first Asian nation to reach Mars orbit and the first country in the world to do so on its maiden attempt.
The question asks for the term that describes a number having factors other than 1 and itself. This is a fundamental definition in number theory. We need to recall the definitions of prime, composite, odd, and even numbers to identify the correct term.
B) composite — A composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that has at least one factor other than 1 and itself. For example, the number 6 has factors 1, 2, 3, and 6. Here, 2 and 3 are factors other than 1 and 6.
The problem requires us to decipher a coding pattern between two given words and then apply the same pattern to a new word. We will analyze the positional values of the letters in the given pair to find the rule.
The word HRMGL is coded as DMGZD.
The pattern of subtraction is -4, -5, -6, -7, -8.
The coded word for NDCKR is JYWDJ.
B) JYWDJ is the correct option as it matches the coded word derived from applying the established pattern.
The question asks to identify the type of fraction where the numerator is strictly less than the denominator. We need to recall the definitions of different types of fractions.
A proper fraction is defined as a fraction where the absolute value of the numerator is less than the absolute value of the denominator. When dealing with positive numbers (as is typical in introductory fraction definitions unless specified otherwise), this means the numerator is strictly less than the denominator. For example, \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{3}{4}\), \(\frac{5}{7}\) are all proper fractions because their numerators are less than their denominators. The value of a proper fraction is always between 0 and 1 (exclusive).
Study the given pattern carefully and select the letter from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
The given pattern consists of a 3x3 grid with letters arranged in a specific sequence. The goal is to identify the pattern or sequence and determine the letter that replaces the question mark.
Correct Option: D) O
The remainder, when 1141 + 3 is divided by 10, is:
To find the remainder when an expression is divided by 10, we need to determine the last digit of the expression. The last digit of a number is its remainder when divided by 10. We will find the last digit of \(11^{41}\) and then add 3 to it, finally finding the last digit of the sum.
The last digit of powers of 11 follows a simple pattern:
It is clear that any positive integer power of 11 will always have 1 as its last digit. This is because the last digit of the base is 1, and multiplying any number ending in 1 by another number ending in 1 will always result in a number ending in 1.
Based on the pattern identified in step 1, the last digit of \(11^{41}\) is 1.
The expression is \(11^{41} + 3\). Since the last digit of \(11^{41}\) is 1, the last digit of \(11^{41} + 3\) will be the last digit of \(1 + 3\).
\[ 1 + 3 = 4 \]Therefore, the last digit of \(11^{41} + 3\) is 4.The remainder when a number is divided by 10 is its last digit. Since the last digit of \(11^{41} + 3\) is 4, the remainder when it is divided by 10 is 4.
Correct Option: D) 4
The question asks for the year when the new Indian Flag Code became effective. This is a factual question related to Indian national symbols and their regulations.
Correct Option: B) The new Flag Code of India became effective on January 26, 2002, allowing private citizens to display the national flag freely, subject to certain regulations.
