The correct answer is (d) Siaha

• Siaha district recorded 1,651 pig deaths, making it the most severely affected among the four districts impacted by the recent ASF outbreak in Mizoram.

• The outbreak has had a significant impact on local pig farming and the rural economy, with Siaha at the center of both the health and financial crisis.

Information Booster:

• Over 3,050 pigs died in April 2025 due to ASF in Siaha, Lawngtlai, Lunglei, and Mamit districts.

• The Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department declared 46 localities as ASF-infected zones.

• Nearly 1,000 pigs were culled as part of containment efforts.

• The economic loss in 2024 alone was Rs 336.49 crore, with 15,000 pigs dead and 24,200 culled.

• ASF is non-transmissible to humans but is fatal to pigs and has no effective vaccine.

Additional Information:

• Previous ASF outbreaks in Mizoram caused:

  • 2021: 33,417 pig deaths, Rs 334.14 crore loss.

  • 2022: 12,800 deaths, Rs 210.32 crore loss.

  • 2023: 1,139 deaths, Rs 15.77 crore loss.

• The disease spreads via direct contact, contaminated feed, and materials.

• The government is providing compensation to over 100 affected families.

• Despite recurring outbreaks, lack of a vaccine and favorable climatic conditions make control efforts challenging in the region.

Correct Answer is: Client

Given: Doctor : Patient :: Lawyer : ?

A Doctor treats a Patient.

Similarly,

A Lawyer deals with a Client.

Thus, correct option is (d).

The correct answer is (d) Hydrogen

Explanation:

Hydrogen (H) is the first element in the periodic table with an atomic number of 1.

• It is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe.
• Hydrogen is a non-metal but is sometimes placed in Group 1 (alkali metals) due to its single electron.
• It exists as a diatomic molecule (H₂) in nature and is used in fuel cells, ammonia production, and rocket fuel.

Information Booster:

Key Properties of Hydrogen:

• Atomic Number: 1
• Atomic Mass: 1.008 u
• Symbol: H
• State at Room Temperature: Gas
• Most Abundant in: Stars, the Sun, and gas planets.

Why is Hydrogen Important?

• Used in fuel cells for clean energy.
• Essential for water formation (H₂O).
• Key component in organic molecules.

Additional Knowledge:

Oxygen (O₂)

• Symbol: O
• Atomic Number: 8
• Atomic Mass: 16 u
• Electronic Configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
• Allotropes: O₂ (dioxygen, essential for life), O₃ (ozone, protects from UV radiation).

Nitrogen (N₂)

• Symbol: N
• Atomic Number: 7
• Atomic Mass: 14 u
• Electronic Configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p³
• Allotropes: Exists as diatomic nitrogen (N₂) under normal conditions.

Given:

Find the first five multiples of 3

Concept Used:

Solution:

First five multiple of 3 are

3 × 1 = 3

3 × 2 = 6

3 × 3 = 9

3 × 4 = 12

and 3 × 5 = 15

Average of first five multiples of 3 are

∴ The average of first five multiples of 3 is 9.

Given:

Time in the clock = 8:45

Formula Used:

To find the angle between the hour hand and minute hand we need to subtract the distance travelled by hour hand and distance travelled by minute hand

Solution:

Given:

The dealer marks the price 20% above the cost price.

The dealer allows a 20% discount on the marked price.

Formula Used:

After observing, we can see figure option D will complete the pattern as depicted below:

Thus, option D is correct.

The Correct Answer is: (C) acidic or basic nature

Explanation:

The pH scale is a numeric scale ranging from 0 to 14, used to measure the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a solution. The term pH stands for "potential of Hydrogen", and it reflects the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution. A pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution (like pure water), and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic (alkaline) solution.

Information Booster:

• pH < 7 → Acidic (e.g., lemon juice, vinegar)

• pH = 7 → Neutral (e.g., pure water)

• pH > 7 → Basic/Alkaline (e.g., soap, baking soda)

• The pH scale is logarithmic, meaning each unit represents a 10-fold change in H⁺ ion concentration.

• pH is measured using pH paper, universal indicator, or digital pH meters.

• The scale was introduced by Søren P. L. Sørensen in 1909.

Logic:

Minimum number of straight lines = 12

Thus, option (B) is right.

Given:

Arun's present age is 1/3​​ of his uncle’s present age

After 5 years, the sum of their ages will be 86 years

Solution:

Let Arun's present age = x

Then, uncle's present age = 3x

After 5 years

Arun's age = x + 5

Uncle's age = 3x + 5

Sum of their ages after 5 years

(x + 5) + (3x + 5) = 86

x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 86

4x + 10 = 86

4x = 76

x = 19
