This is a linear arrangement puzzle. We need to deduce the exact order of the seven boxes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) stacked one above the other using the given clues. We will build the arrangement step-by-step, starting with the most definitive clues.
This means F is the topmost box.
Arrangement so far (from top to bottom):
1. F
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Since F is at position 1, B must be at position 5 (1 + 3 + 1 = 5).
Arrangement so far:
1. F
2.
3.
4.
5. B
6.
7.
Since B is at position 5, D must be at position 4.
Arrangement so far:
1. F
2.
3.
4. D
5. B
6.
7.
D is at position 4. So, G can be at position 2 (one box between G and D) or position 6 (one box between D and G). Let's consider both possibilities:
Thus, Case 1 is the correct arrangement so far:
1. F
2. G
3.
4. D
5. B
6.
7. C
The remaining boxes are A and E, and the remaining empty positions are 3 and 6. For A to be above E, A must be at position 3 and E at position 6.
Final Arrangement:
1. F
2. G
3. A
4. D
5. B
6. E
7. C
From the final arrangement, the boxes below D (at position 4) are B, E, and C. There are 3 boxes below D.
Correct Option: C) 3
The question asks for India's rank in the Gender Inequality Index (GII) 2022 among 193 countries. This requires knowledge of recent reports and indices, which is a common topic in competitive exams.
A) 108 — India achieved the rank of 108 in the Gender Inequality Index (GII) 2022, as per the Human Development Report 2023/2024.
The question asks to identify a structural-functional issue in a plant that would specifically hinder gas exchange through leaves but not significantly affect water absorption by roots. We need to analyze each option's impact on both processes.
B) Disrupted stomatal apparatus on aerial organs. The stomatal apparatus directly regulates the opening and closing of stomata, which are the primary pores for gas exchange (CO\(_2\) and O\(_2\)) and transpiration in leaves. If this apparatus is disrupted, gas exchange will be severely hindered. This issue affects the leaves and aerial parts, having no direct impact on water absorption by the roots.
The question asks to identify an example of a chemical change among the given options. A chemical change results in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties, often irreversible. A physical change alters the form or appearance of a substance but not its chemical composition, and is often reversible.
A) Burning wood — Burning wood is a chemical change because the wood reacts with oxygen to form new substances like ash, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, which have different chemical properties from the original wood. This process is generally irreversible.
The question asks about the primary function of the Tab key when navigating through options in a dialog box or menu using the keyboard. We need to identify the standard behavior of the Tab key in such scenarios.
Correct Option: C) To move the focus to the next available option or control. This is the primary and most common function of the Tab key in dialog boxes and menus, allowing sequential navigation through interactive elements.
The problem involves finding the measure of the smaller of two supplementary angles. We know that supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. We are also given a relationship between the two angles: the larger angle is 28 degrees more than the smaller one. We can set up a system of two linear equations based on this information and solve for the angles.
Define the variables:
Let the smaller angle be \(x\) degrees.
Let the larger angle be \(y\) degrees.
Formulate the first equation based on the definition of supplementary angles:
Since the angles are supplementary, their sum is 180 degrees.
\[ x + y = 180^\circ \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \]Formulate the second equation based on the given relationship:
The larger angle is 28 degrees more than the smaller one.
\[ y = x + 28^\circ \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \]Substitute Equation 2 into Equation 1:
Replace \(y\) in Equation 1 with \((x + 28^\circ)\).
\[ x + (x + 28^\circ) = 180^\circ \]Solve for \(x\):
Combine like terms:
\[ 2x + 28^\circ = 180^\circ \]Subtract \(28^\circ\) from both sides:
\[ 2x = 180^\circ - 28^\circ \]\[ 2x = 152^\circ \]Divide by 2:
\[ x = \frac{152^\circ}{2} \]\[ x = 76^\circ \]Find the larger angle (optional, but good for verification):
Substitute \(x = 76^\circ\) into Equation 2:
\[ y = 76^\circ + 28^\circ \]\[ y = 104^\circ \]Verify the sum:
\(x + y = 76^\circ + 104^\circ = 180^\circ\). This confirms our calculations are correct.
The question asks for the smaller angle, which is \(x\).
Correct Option: A) The smaller angle is \(76^\circ\).
The question asks about the main focus of two specific Sangam anthologies, Purananuru and Patirruppattu, from the Ettuttokai collection. To answer this, one needs knowledge of Sangam literature classifications and the themes associated with these particular works.
A) Heroism and praises of kings and their deeds. Both Purananuru and Patirruppattu are prime examples of 'Puram' literature, which celebrates the valor, generosity, and rule of kings, as well as warfare and public life. Purananuru details various aspects of external life, including war, heroism, and the praise of patrons, while Patirruppattu specifically eulogizes Chera kings.
The question asks to identify the specific architectural component of South Indian temples, which is a stepped or pyramidal structure located above the sanctum (garbhagriha). This requires knowledge of the terminology used in Dravidian temple architecture.
Correct Option: C) Vimana. In South Indian (Dravidian) temple architecture, the Vimana is the stepped or pyramidal tower that rises directly above the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), housing the main deity. It is a defining feature of Dravidian temples.
The question asks about the meaning of the term 'Bhukti' in the context of post-Gupta administration. To answer this, one needs to recall the administrative divisions prevalent during the Gupta period and its aftermath in ancient India.
Correct Option: D) province — In the administrative structure of the Gupta and post-Gupta periods, 'Bhukti' was the term used for a province or a large administrative division, similar to a modern state or division.
The question asks about the geographical extent of the Eastern Coastal Plains of India. To answer this, one needs to recall the major physical divisions of India, specifically the coastal plains and their state-wise distribution.
Correct Option: B) West Bengal to Tamil Nadu
The Eastern Coastal Plains of India stretch from the deltaic plains of West Bengal in the north, covering the states of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and finally extending to Tamil Nadu in the south. This plain is broader than its western counterpart and is home to large river deltas formed by rivers like the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri.
