  • Presently, the government announces minimum support prices for 23 crops.

The correct answer is river.

Key Points

• The landform named ‘meander’ is created by a river.
• A meander is a winding curve or twist in a river.
• They are typically found in the middle and inferior course of a river.
• This is due to the vertical erosion is substituted by a sideways form of erosion called lateral erosion, plus deposition within the floodplain.
• A meander is one of a category of steady sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or another watercourse.
• It is generated by a stream or river swinging from side to side as it flows across its floodplain or shifts its channel within a valley.
• A meander is generated by a stream or river as it erodes the sediments including an outer, concave bank (cut bank), and deposits this and other sediments downstream on an inner, convex bank which is typically a point bar.

The correct answer is Right to property.

Key Points

• Right to Property
  • The right to property was a Fundamental Right under the original constitution but later repealed it.
  • The 44th constitutional amendment act, 1978 inserts article 300-A.

  • Right to Constitutional Remedies-32

The correct answer is CO2.

Key Points

Carbon dioxide

• Carbon dioxide gas is used in the preparation of soda water. This process is known as carbonation, which is a process that causes the water to become effervescent.
• The amount of carbon dioxide that can be dissolved in water is described by Henry's Law.
• Carbon dioxide extinguishers work by displacing oxygen or taking away the oxygen element of the fire triangle.
• The carbon dioxide is also very cold as it comes out of the extinguisher, so it cools the fuel as well.
• It is because carbon dioxide does not support combustion.
• When sprayed on the burning object it stops the supply of oxygen and extinguishes fire.

Additional Information

• Carbon dioxide is the most commonly used gas for extinguishing fires.
• Sodium bicarbonate is used to release a cloud of Co2, especially in class A and class B fires, thus releasing the oxygen and smothering the fire
• Carbon dioxide is an acidic colorless gas with a density about 53% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide molecules consist of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas.
• Molar mass: 44.01 g/mol
• Formula: CO2
• Boiling point: -78.46 °C

The correct answer is protein.

Key Points

• Lack of protein in the diet causes Kwashiorkor. Protein is found in every cell of the human body.
• Protein is needed in the human body's diet to repair and regenerate cells.
• This is how a healthy human body regenerates cells on a regular basis.
• Protein is particularly necessary for growth in children and during pregnancy.
• When the body is deficient in protein, growth and regular bodily functions slow down, and kwashiorkor develops.
• Proteins are in charge of keeping the body's fluid balance.
• Inadequate protein causes fluid to migrate to parts of the body where it shouldn't be, accumulating in the tissues.
• Fluid retention, often known as edoema, is caused by a fluid imbalance across the walls of capillaries.

Important Points

• A protein is an exceedingly complex natural molecule made up of amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds.
• Proteins are found in all living species and contain a variety of biologically important molecules such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies.

The correct answer is Eyes.

Key Points

• Trachoma
  • It is a bacterial infection that affects your eyes. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
  • It is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis.
  • Trachoma is contagious, spreading through contact with the eyes, eyelids, and nose or throat secretions of infected people.
  • It can also be passed on by handling infected items, such as handkerchiefs.
  • At first, trachoma may cause mild itching and irritation of your eyes and eyelids. Then you may notice swollen eyelids and pus draining from the eyes. Untreated trachoma can lead to blindness.
  • Trachoma is the leading preventable cause of blindness worldwide.
  • Most trachoma cases occur in poor areas of Africa, where 85% of people with active disease reside.
  • In areas where trachoma is prevalent, infection rates among children under 5 can be 60% or more.
  • Early treatment may help prevent trachoma complications.

Additional Information

• The four most common eye conditions leading to loss of vision or blindness are:
  • Cataracts.
  • Diabetic retinopathy.
  • Glaucoma.
  • Age-related macular degeneration.
