Bahadur Shah regained the kingdom from Mughals in 1536 but he was killed by the Portuguese on board the ship when making a deal with them.

The answer is (c).

The resistance of a resistor is a property of the resistor and does not change when a current flows through it. The voltage across the resistor, the current through the resistor, and the energy dissipated by the resistor are all related to each other by the following equation:

V = IR

Where,

V is the voltage across the resistor,

I is the current through the resistor

R is the resistance of the resistor.

If the resistance of the resistor is constant, then the voltage across the resistor will be proportional to the current through the resistor. The energy dissipated by the resistor is equal to the product of the voltage across the resistor and the current through the resistor. Therefore, the energy dissipated by the resistor will also be proportional to the square of the current through the resistor.

In other words, if the current through a resistor doubles, then the voltage across the resistor will double and the energy dissipated by the resistor will quadruple.

So, the only quantity that remains constant when a current flows through a resistor is the resistance of the resistor.

The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty which extends the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits State Parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on December 11, 1997 and entered into force on February 16, 2005. There are currently 192 parties (Canada withdrew effective December 2012) to the Protocol.

The P-7 Heavy Drop Parachute System was designed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). So, the answer is (b).

This system is fully indigenous and being manufactured by L&T who makes the platform system, parachutes manufactured by Ordnance Factory.

This system has been made under the Make in India programme.

The DRDO is a government agency that is responsible for the development of defense technologies. It has a number of laboratories and research centers across India.

The P-7 Heavy Drop Parachute System is a state-of-the-art system that can be used to airdrop heavy equipment, vehicles, and supplies from aircraft. It is a valuable addition to India's defense capabilities.

Exercise Shantir Ogroshena is a multinational military exercise conducted between Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan.

It is a UN-mandated counterterrorism exercise that is designed to enhance cooperation and interoperability between the participating countries. The exercise was first held in 2021 and is held biennially.

The 2023 edition of Exercise Shantir Ogroshena was held from April 4 to April 12, 2023, at Bangabandhu Senanibas, Bangladesh.

The USA, UK, Russia, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Singapore also participated in this Exercise as observer.

The correct answer is (d) CNES.

The Thermal Infra-Red (TIR) payload for the TRISHNA (Thermal infraRed Imaging Satellite for High-resolution Natural resource Assessment) satellite is being provided by CNES, the French space agency.

Details:

· TRISHNA Satellite: TRISHNA is a collaborative mission between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the French space agency CNES.

The satellite is designed for high-resolution thermal infrared imaging, primarily to monitor and manage natural resources, water bodies, urban heat islands, and agricultural activities.

· The TIR payload is crucial for capturing thermal images that can be used to analyze temperature variations on Earth's surface. This data is vital for various applications, including climate monitoring, water management, and urban planning.

· CNES is responsible for developing and providing the Thermal Infra-Red (TIR) payload for the TRISHNA satellite. This collaboration leverages CNES's expertise in thermal imaging technology and complements ISRO's capabilities in satellite launch and mission management.

· While CNES provides the TIR payload, ISRO is responsible for the satellite bus, launch, and operations of the TRISHNA mission. This partnership highlights the international cooperation between India and France in advancing Earth observation technologies.

· Applications of TRISHNA: The data collected by TRISHNA will support various applications, such as monitoring water resources, analyzing land surface temperature, assessing agricultural conditions, and studying urban heat islands. These applications are essential for sustainable development and environmental management.

The first census of India was conducted in 1872 under the rule of Lord Mayo. The First Official Census in India was done in 1881 AD under Lord Rippon. It was called the First synchronised census.

The last census was held in 2011, whilst the next was to be held in 2021. But it has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India.

Over half the population resided in the six most populous states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.

Information is transmitted in the chemical form in the dendrites of a neuron. The dendrites are the tree-like extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. When a signal is received by a dendrite, it causes the release of neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters then travel across the synaptic cleft to the axon of the next neuron, where they bind to receptors and cause an electrical signal to be generated.

The cell body and axon of a neuron do not transmit information in the chemical form. The cell body contains the nucleus of the neuron, which is where the genetic material is located. The axon is the long, slender extension of a neuron that carries signals away from the cell body. Signals in the axon are transmitted in the electrical form.

So the answer is (a).

During a period of La Nina, the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Pacific Ocean will be lower than normal by 3 to 5 °C. Thus, it cools downs the temperature of the water.

This can have significant impacts on weather patterns around the world, including increased rainfall in some areas and drought in others.

It can affect ocean currents, marine ecosystems, and fisheries.

This cooling of the ocean can also lead to an increase in the upwelling of nutrient-rich waters from deeper in the ocean, which can have both positive and negative effects on marine life.
