The question asks about the national park where cheetahs were released in February 2025. This requires knowledge of recent conservation efforts related to cheetah reintroduction in India.
A) Kuno National Park — Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh is the designated site for the reintroduction of cheetahs in India. The project began in 2022 with cheetahs from Namibia and South Africa, and subsequent releases, including those planned for the future (like February 2025), are intended for this park.
The problem asks us to identify the letter-cluster pair that does not follow the same pattern as the others, based on the English alphabetical order. We need to analyze the relationship between the letters within each pair and between the two clusters in each option.
Let's assign numerical positions to the letters:
Now, let's analyze each option:
From the analysis, we can see a clear pattern:
A) PI - KJ is the letter-cluster pair that DOES NOT belong to the group because the pattern of letter progression is not consistent with the other options. While the second letter 'I' to 'J' follows a +1 pattern, the first letter 'P' to 'K' follows a -5 pattern, which is different from the +1 pattern observed in the other options.
The question asks about how the Nizam of Hyderabad projected his rule. To answer this, we need to recall the historical context of the Hyderabad State under the Nizams, particularly their political and religious identity and their relationship with the British and the surrounding regions.
Correct Option: C) The Nizam of Hyderabad tried to project his rule as a Muslim sovereignty in Deccan. This reflects the historical reality of the Nizam's identity, their cultural patronage, and their political aspirations within the broader context of British India.
In March 2025, which anniversary of National Defence Day was observed to honour the sacrifices of India's armed forces?
76th Anniversary
60th Anniversary
87th Anniversary
65th Anniversary
The question asks us to identify which anniversary of National Defence Day was observed in India in March 2025. We need to recall the anniversary number and understand the significance of the day in honouring the sacrifices and bravery of India's armed forces.
Understand National Defence Day:
National Defence Day is observed on 3 March every year in India to honour the sacrifices, bravery and dedication of the country's armed forces.
The day recognises the contributions of military personnel in safeguarding India's sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security.
Identify the anniversary observed in 2025:
India observed the 87th anniversary of National Defence Day on 3 March 2025.
The occasion served as a tribute to the courage, commitment and sacrifices of India's defence personnel in protecting the nation.
Understand the significance of National Defence Day:
Determine the correct answer:
National Defence Day was observed on 3 March 2025, marking its 87th anniversary.
Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
Correct Option: C) 87th Anniversary — India observed the 87th anniversary of National Defence Day on 3 March 2025 to honour the sacrifices, bravery and dedication of its armed forces. The day recognises their role in safeguarding the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security. Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
A) 76th Anniversary: This is incorrect because National Defence Day marked its 87th anniversary in March 2025, not its 76th anniversary.
B) 60th Anniversary: This is incorrect because the anniversary observed in March 2025 was the 87th, not the 60th.
D) 65th Anniversary: This is incorrect because India observed the 87th anniversary of National Defence Day in March 2025, not the 65th.
The problem requires us to modify a given number based on specific rules for its odd and even digits, then identify two specific digits in the new number, and finally calculate their sum.
Correct Option: A) 8 is the sum of the second digit from the left (6) and the second digit from the right (2) in the new number 4626420.
This problem involves calculating the net rate of filling a cistern when there's an inlet tap and an outlet hole. We'll determine the individual rates of filling and emptying, then find the combined rate, and finally use that to calculate the total time to fill the cistern.
Calculate the filling rate of the tap:
The tap fills the cistern in 8 hours. So, in one hour, the tap fills \(\frac{1}{8}\) of the cistern.
Calculate the emptying rate of the hole:
The hole empties the fully filled cistern in 10 hours. So, in one hour, the hole empties \(\frac{1}{10}\) of the cistern.
Calculate the net filling rate when both are open:
Since the hole is emptying while the tap is filling, the net rate will be the filling rate minus the emptying rate.
To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 40.
\[ \text{Net Rate} = \frac{5}{40} - \frac{4}{40} \]\[ \text{Net Rate} = \frac{1}{40} \text{ cistern/hour} \]Calculate the time taken to fill the cistern:
If the net rate is \(\frac{1}{40}\) of the cistern per hour, it means it takes 40 hours to fill the entire cistern.
Correct Option: C) 40 hours
The question asks for another name for the Great Himalayan range. This requires knowledge of the different divisions and nomenclature of the Himalayan mountain system.
Correct Option: B) The Great Himalayan range is also known as the Inner Himalayas because it is the innermost and northernmost of the three main parallel ranges of the Himalayas.
This is a coding-decoding problem where we need to find the common word between two given phrases and identify its corresponding common code. We will compare the phrases and their codes to find the unique mapping.
'friends good company' is coded as 'li ta ph'.
This means that 'friends', 'good', and 'company' correspond to 'li', 'ta', and 'ph' in some order.
'friends create nostalgia' is coded as 'ta bu cy'.
This means that 'friends', 'create', and 'nostalgia' correspond to 'ta', 'bu', and 'cy' in some order.
The word common to both phrases is 'friends'.
Now, let's look for the code that is common to both coded sequences:
The common code is 'ta'.
Since 'friends' is the only common word and 'ta' is the only common code, it logically follows that 'friends' is coded as 'ta'.
Correct Option: A) ta
