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:

A boy sitting in a train moving with a uniform velocity drops a coin outside. A man standing outside the train will find the trajectory of the coin to be

A) a parabola B) a circle
C) a horizontal straight line D) a vertical straight line
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a parabola

Explanation:

Parabola, because when the coin is dropped at a particular point, it has the same velocity as the running train. So by Newton's first law, it continues its motion horizontally with that velocity. But then, it is also pulled down by earth's gravity continuously. In this situation its horizontal motion gives way to the parabolic motion until it reaches the ground.

Q:

How would you use qsort() function to sort an array of structures?

Answer

#include "string.h"


#include "stdlib.h"


struct stud


{


       int rollno;


       int marks;


       char name[30];


};


int sort_m (struct stud *, struct stud *);


int sort_name (struct stud *, struct stud *);


int sort_marks (struct stud *, struct stud *);


 


main()


{


static struct stud ss[] = {


                                            { 15, 96, "Akshay" },


                                            { 2, 97, "Madhuri" },


                                            { 8, 85, "Aishvarya" },


                                            { 10, 80, "Sushmita" }


                                   };


int x,w;


clrscr();


w = sizeof (struct stud);


 


printf ('\nIn order of roll numbers:");


qsort (ss, 4, w, sort_rn);


for(x=0; x<4;x++)


     printf ("\n%d%s%d", ss[x].rollno, ss[x].name,ss[x].marks);


 


printf("\n\nIn order of names:");


qsort(ss, 4, sort_name);


 


for (x=0; x<4;x++)


      printf("\n%d%s%d",ss[x].rollno, ss[x].name,ss[x].marks);


printf("\n\nIn order of marks:");


qsort(ss,4,w,sort_marks);


 


for (x=0;x<4;x++)


      printf ("\n%d%s%d",ss[x].rollno,ss[x].name,ss[x].marks);


}


int sort_rn (struct stud *t1, struct stud *t2)


{


     return (t1->rollno-t2->rollno);


}


 


int sort_name (struct stud *t1, struct stud *t2)


{


     return (strcmp(t1->name,t2->name));


}


int sort_marks (struct stud *t1, struct stud *t2)


{


     return (t2->marks-t1->marks);


}

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.
