Time, such as a quarter of an hour. You can divide 1 hour, that is 60 minutes, by quarter:
There are 15 minutes in one quarter. Therefore, “quarter to 4” or “quarter past 4” denotes the time to be 3:45 and 4:15, respectively.

The Central Board of Secondary Education has rolled out a new assessment framework for Classes 6-10 in English, Maths and Science in collaboration with the British Council.
  • Under the new system, teachers will be trained to create question papers and other assessment methods that test the actual competency of students in these subjects, rather than their ability to memorise chunks of text.
  • The new framework was launched by Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank.
  • It is aligned with the National Education Policy’s vision of achieving a global standard in assessments.
  • In the first phase, the framework will be implemented in select Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas, CBSE schools in Chandigarh, and a few private schools.
  • By 2024, it will be rolled out to 25,000 CBSE schools across the country, with 1.32 lakh teachers and two crore students.

After nearly two years of work, the merger of the Lok Sabha TV (LSTV) and the Rajya Sabha TV (RSTV) has been finalised and will be replaced by Sansad TV.
  • Retired IAS officer Ravi Capoor was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sansad TV. Mr. Capoor’s mandate is also to work out the nitty-gritty of the merger, including the integration of the assets and manpower.
  • In November 2019, a committee headed by former Prasar Bharati Chairman Surya Prakash was set up. It submitted a report in February 2020.
  • The Surya Prakash panel held a meeting with Members of Parliament from different political parties and they strongly recommended the continuation of the live telecast.
  • Under the banner of Sansad TV, the LSTV would continue to telecast live the House proceedings and the RSTV that of the Upper House.
  • During the inter-session period and beyond the working hours of Parliament, both will telecast common content to a large extent. The LSTV platform would telecast programmes in Hindi, while RSTV would do so in English.

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Indian Railways is going to launch 12 different trains in 12 different months in the year 2018. The names of the trains are as follows – Ashwagandha, Methika, Amalaki, Draksha, Chandan, Sunthi, Haridra, Haritaki, Lavanga, Ajmoda, Putiha and Rasona. Amalaki, Haridra and Lavanga will be launched in the months having the same first alphabet. Ashwagandha, Sunthi and Haritaki will be launched in the given order and in the months having the same number of alphabets. Chandan and Rasona will be launched after Lavanga is launched. Methika will be launched immediately before Haridra but after Draksha. Putiha will be launched in the month immediately after the month in which Lavanga will be launched. There are five months (excluding both their launch months) between the months in which Chandan and Ajmoda will be launched.
Q. If there are 4 months (excluding both their launch months) in between the launch of Ajmoda and Rasona trains, then in which month will be Draksha train launched?

Rhea Reddy answered  •  Oct 11, 2023
12 Months: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December
12 Trains: Ashwagandha, Methika, Amalaki, Draksha, Chandan, Sunthi, Haridra, Haritaki, Lavanga, Ajmoda, Putiha and Rasona

1) Amalaki, Haridra and Lavanga will be launched in the months having the same first alphabet. So these trains will be launched in January, June and July in no order.

2) Ashwagandha, Sunthi and Haritaki will be launched in the given order and in the months having the same number of alphabets.
Of all the months, February, November and December are the only three which has same number of alphabets. Hence, Ashwagandha will be launched in the month of February, Sunthi in November while Haritaki in December.

3) Methika will be launched immediately before Haridra but after Draksha.
This states that Methika will be launched in the month of May immediately before Haridra, which will be launched in the month of June. And Draksha can be launched either in the month of March or April.

4) Putiha will be launched in the month immediately after the month in which Lavanga will be launched.
So, Lavanga has to be launched in the month of July, so that Putiha can be launched in the next month i.e. August.

5) Chandan and Rasona will be launched after Lavanga is launched.
So, Chandan and Rasona can be launched in the months of September or October.

6) There are five months (excluding both their launch months) between the months in which Chandan and Ajmoda will be launched.
Therefore, Ajmoda can be launched either in the month of March or April.

If there are 4 months between Ajmoda and Rasona, then Draksha will be launched in the month of March.

Two single phase transformers A and B are operating in parallel having different impedance and identical x/r ratio. Also impedance of A is more than that of B,then A
  • a)
    shares lesser kVA
  • b)
    share more kVA
  • c)
    equal kVA as of B
  • d)
    total kVA
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Poulomi Ahuja answered
When two single-phase transformers operate in parallel with different impedances and identical x/r ratios, the transformer with the higher impedance will share less of the total load compared to the transformer with the lower impedance. This is because the current (and hence power) shared by each transformer is inversely proportional to its impedance.
Given that transformer A has more impedance than transformer B, transformer A will share less kVA of the load.
Therefore, the correct option is: shares lesser kVA
