Given:

Statement:

To fulfill the energy requirements, India should make efforts to make use of solar energy.

According to the given information:

Arguments:

I. Yes, the energy produced in India is mainly exhaustible.

This is a strong argument. Relying on exhaustible resources (like coal, oil, and natural gas) is unsustainable in the long term. Solar energy, being a renewable source, offers an alternative that can reduce dependency on exhaustible resources and ensure energy security

II. No. To set up solar energy plants, it will requires a lot of capital, which India lacks.​​

This is weak argument because although setting up solar plants requires capital, it is a long-term investment for sustainable energy. Also, saying "India lacks capital" is an overgeneralization; it depends on budget allocation and priorities.

Thus, the correct option is (c) Only argument I is strong.

Given:

If 'X + Y' means 'X is the brother of Y', 'X × Y' means 'X is the father of Y' and 'X / Y' means 'X is the mother of Y'.

Now, we check each options.

Option (a): S × T × R

Option (b): S /R /T

Option (c): S × R + T

Option (c) is the following would mean 'R is the son of S'.

Thus, correct option is (c).

The correct answer is:(B) Due to Refraction

Explanation:

Water appears shallower when viewed from the top due to the refraction of light. When light passes from the air (a less dense medium) into water (a denser medium), it bends or refracts towards the normal. This bending of light causes the water to appear shallower than it actually is. This effect is a result of the change in the speed of light as it moves from one medium to another.

Information Booster:

• Refraction occurs because light slows down when it enters a denser medium (like water), causing the light rays to bend.

• The phenomenon is governed by Snell's Law, which describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes through different media.

• The bending of light towards the normal makes objects under the water appear closer to the surface, hence making the tank seem shallower.

• This effect is why a stick partially submerged in water looks bent at the surface.

• The angle of refraction depends on the relative refractive indices of the two media (air and water).

Additional Information:

• Due to reflection: Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, but it does not cause the appearance of shallowness in water.

• Due to Diffraction: Diffraction occurs when light bends around obstacles or through small openings, but it is not the reason water appears shallower.

• Due to Total Internal Reflection: Total internal reflection occurs when light moves from a denser medium to a less dense medium at a critical angle, but it is not responsible for the appearance of shallow water in this case.

Given:

• Seven persons Hari, Arun, Maya, Kamal, Vimal, Priya and Dheeraj have their exams on different days of the week,
• starting from Monday and ending on Sunday of the same week.
• Kamal's exam is on Friday.
• Only one person has an exam between Vimal and Kamal.
• Vimal's exam is immediately after Hari.
• Priya's exam is on any one day before Dheeraj's but after Kamal's.
• Arun's exam is on Monday.

According to the given information:

So, Maya's exam is on Thursday.

Thus, the correct answer is (c).

The correct answer is: (c) The Palace of Illusions

Explanation:

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is the author of the novel "The Palace of Illusions", which was published in 2008. The book is a retelling of the Mahabharata from the perspective of Panchaali (Draupadi), one of the central female characters in the epic.

It explores her life, struggles, and the emotional depth of her experiences in a patriarchal world.

Information Booster:

• Divakaruni's writing often deals with themes of immigration, identity, and women's experiences.

• The book has received acclaim for its rich storytelling and historical insights.

Additional Information:

• The Feast of Roses: This is a book written by Indu Sundaresan, which is a historical novel about the life of Mughal Empress Nur Jahan.

• Malgudi Days: This is a famous collection of short stories by R. K. Narayan, centered around the fictional town of Malgudi.

• A Fine Balance: This book was written by Rohinton Mistry and explores the lives of four individuals in post-Independence India.

Given:

​NQRP → TWXV

EHIG → KNOM

LOPN → ?

Logic: Each letter is increasing by + 6 in alphabetical order.

​NQRP → TWXV​

N + 6 = T

Q + 6 = W

R + 6 = X

P + 6 = V

EHIG → KNOM:

E + 6 = K

H + 6 = N

I + 6 = O

G + 6 = M

As the similarly for : LOPN

L + 6 = R

O + 6 = U

P + 6 = V

N + 6 = T

Thus, LOPN → RUVT.

Thus, the correct option is (C) RUVT.

Given:

Teacher, Guitarist, Lawyer

From the given information Venn diagram will be:

There should be three circles, one for Teacher, one for Guitarist, and one for Lawyer.​

So, some teacher can be Lawyer, some teacher can be guitarist, and also some guitarist can be lawyer.

Thus, the correct option is: (b)

The correct answer is (A) Circular

Explanation:

When a charged particle enters a magnetic field perpendicular to its velocity, it experiences a centripetal force (Lorentz force) that causes it to move in a circular path. This happens due to the magnetic force being always perpendicular to the direction of motion.

Information Booster:

• The force acting is given by F = qvB.

• The direction of force is determined by the right-hand rule.

• The motion is uniform circular if speed remains constant.

• No work is done by the magnetic field as the force is perpendicular.

• This principle is used in cyclotrons and mass spectrometers.

• Radius of the path is r = mv/qB.

Additional Information:

• Elliptical – Occurs when both electric and magnetic forces act in a complex manner.

• Linear – Happens when no force acts or magnetic field is parallel to motion.

• Spiral – Forms when there is a velocity component parallel to the magnetic field.

Correct Answer is: Angle

First relation:

A Thermometer is an instrument used to measure Temperature.

Logic: Instrument → What it measures

Now, for Protractor:

A Protractor is an instrument used to measure Angles (like in geometry, usually degrees).

Now, let's look at the other options carefully:

Option A: Weight

Weight is measured by a Weighing Scale or a Spring Balance, not a Protractor.

Option B: Angle

Protractor is specifically designed to measure angles in degrees (°). (Follow)

Option C: Mass

Mass is measured by a Balance scale, not a Protractor.

Option D: Height

Height is measured with instruments like a Tape Measure, Altimeter, or simply a Ruler, not a Protractor.

Therefore,Protractor → Angle.

Thus, the correct ption is: (b)

Given: BDF,HJL, NPR. ?

Logic: Each letter is increasing by + 6 in alphabetical order.

First Letters Pattern:

B + 6 = H

H + 6 = N

N + 6 = T

Second Letters Pattern:

D + 6 = J

J + 6 = P

P + 6 = V

Third Letters Pattern:

F + 6 = L

L + 6 = R

R + 6 = X

So, the next term in the series is: TVX

Thus, the correct option is (b) TVX
