ANS:B - head varies as the square of speed.

With a constant diameter impeller of a centrifugal pump:

• Capacity (Q) varies directly as the square of speed: This statement is generally true. The capacity or flow rate (Q) of a centrifugal pump is directly proportional to the impeller speed (N) squared, assuming the pump operates under similar conditions and the impeller diameter remains constant. Mathematically, Q∝N2Q \propto N^2Q∝N2.
• Head (H) varies as the square of speed: This statement is not accurate. The head developed by a centrifugal pump is primarily dependent on the impeller speed (N) and is proportional to the square of the speed (N²). This relationship arises because the kinetic energy imparted to the fluid by the impeller varies with the square of its rotational speed.
• Horsepower input varies as the square of speed: This statement is also generally true. The power input (P) required to drive a centrifugal pump increases with the cube of the impeller speed (N³), assuming constant efficiency. Therefore, if efficiency is constant, power input varies directly with speed squared, not speed itself.

ANS:D - 6.5%

The urban jobless rate in India for Q3FY24, as per PLFS data analysis, is 6.5%. This indicates a positive trend in urban labour markets, with a slight decrease from the previous quarter and a significant improvement from the peak observed during the Covid-affected period in FY22.

ANS:A - Kanpur

Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Health Minister, laid the foundation stone for the AIISH Satellite Centre in Kanpur, aligning with the Prime Minister's vision to establish AIISH institutes nationwide.

ANS:B - Telangana

Telangana's Vikarabad district has been strategically chosen as the location for India's second Very Low Frequency (VLF) communication station, vital for naval communication with ships and submarines. The station is expected to be completed by 2027.

ANS:A - Bhopal

The 63rd Central Geological Programming Board (CGPB) Meeting convened in Bhopal, where the Geological Survey of India (GSI) unveiled its annual program for 2024-25. This program includes 392 Mineral Development projects, emphasizing the exploration of strategic and critical minerals like REE, Graphite, and Lithium. Additionally, 111 projects under Natural Hazard Studies/Public Good Geoscience aim to provide societal benefits, addressing state requests, disaster management, and fostering collaborations with universities and various authorities.
