Q:

Which IIT institute has collaborated with the British Geological Survey (BGS) to turn Varanasi into a smart city  ?

A) IIT Kharagpur B) IIT New Delhi
C) IIT Pune D) IIT Indore
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) IIT Kharagpur

Explanation:

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur has collaborated with the British Geological Survey (BGS) to turn Varanasi into a smart city. As part of the project, three dimensional geological modelling of the geology under Varanasi will be prepared to help improve the building of new transport and service infrastructure. The project includes application of geo-scientific methods like drilling, geological, geophysical, tectonics, hydrogeological and remote sensing. It would be the first major 3D subsurface urban study and planning of its kind in India, with the ultimate aim of developing methodologies and input of suburban geology for planning and hazard risk assessment. The purpose of the project is to develop the methodologies and approaches of urban geosciences and engineering of Varanasi as a pilot for other Indian cities.

Q:

Is Nitrogen an Inert gas?

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

Nitrogen is found as a diatomic molecule (N2) in nature. There is a triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms.


 


The triple bond is pretty strong. Therefore, it needs a lot of energy to break those bonds and participate in a reaction. So nitrogen is commonly referred to as and used as an inert gas (high abundance & low cost.) However, it’s not truly inert like most noble gases. Nitrogen does react if the conditions are met. But those conditions are not exactly mild, but are not as extreme as for noble gases.


 


It forms nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide with oxygen, ammonia with hydrogen, and nitrogen sulfide with sulfur.

Q:

88%of 370 +24% of 210-x =118 find x

Answer

From the given equation,


88x370/100 + 24x210/100 - 118 = x


=> x = 325.6 + 50.4 - 118


x = 258.

Q:

A cup of hot coffee is placed on a metal table in a room. By which of the following methods does it lose heat?

A) conduction and convection only B) conduction and radiation only
C) convection and radiation only D) conduction, convection and radiation
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) conduction, convection and radiation

Explanation:

Part of the heat is conducted away by the metal table. Convection currents in air near the surface of the coffee are set up which accounts for some heat loss. Heat is also lost by radiation from the hot coffee to the surroundings. Most of the heat is lost by the last method.

Q:

Select the correct statement about the process of scientific inquiry.

A) The goal of scientific research is to prove the stated hypothesis. B) It is possible to test hypotheses, such as those involving historical events, without conducting experiments.
C) If the results of an experiment do not support the hypothesis that is tested, the experiment is badly designed. D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) It is possible to test hypotheses, such as those involving historical events, without conducting experiments.

Explanation:

The correct statement among the given options about the process of scientific inquiry is "It is possible to test hypotheses, such as those involving historical events, without conducting experiments."

 

Although it is not possible to carry out experiments to test hypotheses about evolutionary relationships between living groups or about the timing of the origin of major evolutionary innovations, such hypotheses can be evaluated by making predictions about the expected findings that would result from these hypotheses. Data can then be collected to test whether these predictions are correct.
