ANS:C - given points are inaccessible

Two Point Problem:.

It is basically a resection method.

Resection is a method of plane table surveying in which location of a plane table is unknown. Location of a plane table is determined by looking it to known points. It can be determined through:.

1. Two-point problem.
2. Three-point problem.

The problem of finding the plotted position of the station point occupied by the plane table with the help of plotted positions of two well-defined points is known as solving a two-point problem.

Hence, the orientation of plane-table, by solving the two-point problem, is adopted only when the given points are inaccessible. Two points should be well-known points.i.e Whose position have already been plotted on the plan are selected.

ANS:B - 37.5 A

or V = 37.5 V.

ANS:B - NuBus

ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) : is a 16-bit internal bus of IBM PC. It was a proprietary bus, which allowed only IBM to create peripherals and the actual interface. ISA bus allowed a computer to automatically detect and setup computer ISA peripherals, such as a modem or sound card.

NuBus : is a 32-bit parallel computer bus. It is the expansion bus for versions of the Macintosh computers starting with the Macintosh II and ending with the Performa. It is no longer used and was replaced mostly by the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) and other parallel buses.

EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) : is a standard bus architecture that extends the ISA standard to a 32-bit interface.

It was developed in part as an open alternative to the proprietary Micro Channel Architecture (MCA).

MCA (Micro Channel architecture) : was a proprietary 16- or 32-bit parallel computer bus introduced by IBM.

PCI Bus (Peripheral Component Interconnect) : is a local bus developed by Intel Corporation. Most modern PCs include a PCI bus in addition to a more general ISA expansion bus. PCI has been replaced with PCI Express (PCIe).

ANS:A - turbine

The working of a turbine pump characterizes mixed flow. Here's why:

• Turbine Pump: A turbine pump is a type of centrifugal pump that operates with an axial flow impeller. The impeller design in a turbine pump allows for a combination of radial and axial flow characteristics. This results in a mixed flow pattern where the fluid both moves radially outward and axially through the impeller.
• Mixed Flow: Mixed flow pumps combine characteristics of both centrifugal and axial flow pumps. In these pumps, the fluid flows through the impeller in both radial and axial directions, resulting in a mixed flow pattern. This type of flow pattern is advantageous for applications where moderate to high flow rates and moderate heads are required.
• Other Options:
  • Piston Pump: Piston pumps operate based on reciprocating motion of pistons to displace fluid, and they typically do not characterize mixed flow.
  • Diaphragm Pump: Diaphragm pumps use a flexible diaphragm to create pressure differentials for fluid movement and do not typically exhibit mixed flow characteristics.

ANS:C - Peaceful use of nuclear power

The partnership between the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) aims to promote the peaceful use of nuclear power across India. This initiative focuses on educating and sensitizing the public about the scientific and beneficial aspects of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

ANS:A - Meghalaya

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma has announced Government that the government has earmarked Rs 300 crore from the externally aided projects to make an investment in early childhood education programmes.

ANS:B - 1.29

The Lancet study projects India's fertility rate to drop to 1.29 in 2050, down from just under 2 in 2021. This significant decline is part of a global trend where the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has decreased from over 4.8 children per woman in 1950 to 2.2 in 2021, with further reductions predicted in the future.

ANS:D - Karnataka

Hardly paid attention to for two decades, the Archaeological Survey of India has now taken up conservation work at this important Buddhist site near Kalaburagi district in Karnataka.
