The question asks to identify the chairman of the National Commission on Farmers (NCF) when it was constituted in 2004. This requires knowledge of key appointments in Indian agricultural policy.
A) MS Swaminathan was indeed the chairman of the National Commission on Farmers (NCF) when it was constituted on November 18, 2004. He is widely recognized for his contributions to agricultural science and policy in India.
Which country hosted the 58th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2025, where India discussed the Strategic Action Plan 2025-2029?
The question asks to identify the host country for the 58th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2025, where India's Strategic Action Plan 2025-2029 was discussed. This requires knowledge of future international events and the host countries for major financial institution meetings.
C) Italy is the correct answer. Italy is scheduled to host the 58th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2025.
This question tests knowledge of demographic projections for India, specifically the population forecast by the National Commission on Population (NCP) for the year 2036. Such figures are often cited in government reports and economic surveys, making them important for competitive exams.
Correct Option: B) The National Commission on Population's report "Population Projections for India and States 2011-2036" clearly states that India's population is projected to be 1.52 billion by 2036.
The problem presents an analogy between letter-clusters. We need to identify the pattern or relationship between the first pair of letter-clusters and apply the same logic to the second pair to find the missing clusters.
Option A provides # = JGM and % = URX. The pattern observed is that each letter in the first cluster is shifted forward by 5 positions in the alphabet to get the corresponding letter in the second cluster. Applying this to JGM gives OLR (J+5=O, G+5=L, M+5=R). Applying this to PMS gives URX (P+5=U, M+5=R, S+5=X). This consistency confirms Option A as correct.
The problem asks us to find a number-pair that follows the same mathematical relationship as the given pairs: (50, 4) and (80, 7). We need to identify the pattern between the first and second numbers in the given pairs and then apply it to the options.
B) 70, 6
Let's apply the pattern to this option: \((\text{First Number} / 10) - 1 = \text{Second Number}\).
For (70, 6): \((70 / 10) - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6\). This matches the second number in the pair. Therefore, option B follows the established rule.
This is a linear arrangement puzzle. We need to deduce the seating order of seven people (I, J, K, L, O, P, Q) based on the given clues and then determine the number of people between O and Q.
A) Three
Walking at \( \frac{2}{5} \) of his normal speed, Abhijeet is 48 minutes late in reaching his office. The usual time taken by him to cover the distance between his home and his office is:
This problem involves the relationship between speed, distance, and time. When distance is constant, speed is inversely proportional to time. We can use this relationship to find the usual time taken by Abhijeet.
Let the normal speed of Abhijeet be \(S\) and the usual time taken be \(T\).
The distance between his home and office is constant. Let this distance be \(D\).
The relationship between speed, distance, and time is given by \(D = S \times T\).
When Abhijeet walks at \(\frac{2}{5}\) of his normal speed, his new speed \(S'\) is \(\frac{2}{5}S\).
Due to this reduced speed, he is 48 minutes late. So, the new time taken \(T'\) is \(T + 48\) minutes.
Since the distance \(D\) is the same, we can write:
\[ D = S' \times T' \] \[ S \times T = \left(\frac{2}{5}S\right) \times (T + 48) \]We can cancel \(S\) from both sides of the equation (assuming \(S \neq 0\)):
\[ T = \frac{2}{5}(T + 48) \]Now, solve for \(T\):
\[ 5T = 2(T + 48) \] \[ 5T = 2T + 96 \] \[ 5T - 2T = 96 \] \[ 3T = 96 \] \[ T = \frac{96}{3} \] \[ T = 32 \text{ minutes} \]B) The usual time taken by Abhijeet is 32 minutes, which matches our calculation.
The problem requires us to modify a given number by adding 2 to each of its digits. Then, we need to identify the odd digits in this new number and calculate their sum.
The sum of all the odd digits in the new number is 24.
Correct Option: C) 24
The question asks about the reporting structure established by the Regulating Act of 1773 for the governors of Madras and Bombay. This requires knowledge of the key provisions and administrative changes introduced by this significant act in British India.
B) The Governor General
The Regulating Act of 1773 made the Governors of Madras and Bombay subordinate to the Governor-General of Bengal. This was a significant step towards centralizing British administration in India, with the Governor-General becoming the supreme authority over the other presidencies in certain matters.
To find the median of a set of observations, we first need to arrange the observations in ascending order. Then, we identify the middle value. If the number of observations is odd, the median is the single middle value. If the number of observations is even, the median is the average of the two middle values.
Therefore, the median of the given observations is 79.
Correct Option: D) 79
