ANS:A - Yes

In these declarations, s1, s2 and s3 are all treated as char*, but s4 is treated as a char, which is probably not the intention.

ANS:C - at right angles to the contour

Just consider one point on one contour line and 2, 3 points on the consecutive contour line. The perpendicular line will be the steepest. Work pot and check on paper. Contour lines are horizontal. Slope angle I think >0 to 90 degree.
So steepest slope should be 90°. So, the right angles to contour.

ANS:C - ± 1% of full scale deflection

ANS:B - biochips

Biochip : is a logical device analogous to the silicon chip, whose components are formed from biological molecules or structures.

ANS:D - Develops high pressure

Out of the options listed, "Increase in thrust" is not typically considered an undesirable effect created by cavitation in a pump. Here’s an explanation of the effects of cavitation and why "Increase in thrust" does not fit:

1. Decrease in efficiency: Cavitation can lead to a decrease in pump efficiency due to reduced flow rates, increased power consumption, and potential damage to pump components.
2. Noise: Cavitation causes noise due to the collapse of vapor bubbles in the pump, which can be damaging and disruptive.
3. Damage to pump components: The collapse of vapor bubbles during cavitation can erode pump components, leading to increased maintenance and repair costs.
4. Vibration: Cavitation can induce vibration in the pump system, which can further contribute to mechanical wear and tear.

ANS:C - 1.34 million tonnes

The Indian government has approved the export of 1.34 million tonnes of Non-Basmati White Rice to seven countries. This export approval has been issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The approved exports are intended for seven countries, namely Nepal, Cameroon, Cote D’Ivoire, Republic of Guinea, Malaysia, Philippines, and Seychelles.

ANS:A - 6.3%

The FICCI Economic Outlook Survey predicts a 6.3% expansion in India's economy for the fiscal year FY24. This is a slight moderation from the 7.2% growth recorded in FY23, but it is still a healthy rate of growth. The survey attributes the expected slowdown to several factors, including the ongoing global economic uncertainty, the impact of the monsoon on agricultural output, and the rising cost of living.

ANS:C - Bengaluru, Cambridge Layout

India's first 3D-printed post office is located in Bengaluru, Karnataka. It was inaugurated on August 18, 2023, by the Union Minister for Railways, Communications, Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw. The post office is built using a technology called Contour Crafting, which uses a robotic arm to deposit layers of concrete to create a three-dimensional structure. The post office is 1,021 square feet in area and has a built-in solar power system.

ANS:C - 7.2%

The World Bank has estimated India's economic growth rate in FY22/23 to be 7.2%. This is a significant achievement, given the global challenges faced by the country during the year. The growth was primarily driven by strong domestic demand and a revival in the services sector. The World Bank has also projected India's economic growth rate to moderate to 6.3% in FY23/24. This is due to several factors, including the ongoing global economic uncertainty, the impact of the monsoon on agricultural output, and the rising cost of living.
