Akshat Kumar answered
The correct answer is option 'D' - Nagathane.

The first Gas Cracker Plant has begun operations in Nagathane. Let's delve into the details to understand why Nagathane is the correct answer.

Gas Cracker Plant:
A gas cracker plant is a facility that processes natural gas or other hydrocarbons to produce ethylene, propylene, and other valuable chemicals. These chemicals serve as building blocks for various industries, including plastics, chemicals, and textiles. The establishment of a gas cracker plant can significantly contribute to the economic growth of an area.

Reasons why Nagathane is the correct answer:

1. Location: Nagathane is a village located in the Raigad district of Maharashtra, India. It is strategically situated near the Arabian Sea coast, making it an ideal location for a gas cracker plant. The proximity to the sea allows for easy transportation of raw materials and finished products, which is crucial for the plant's operations.

2. Infrastructure: Nagathane has well-developed infrastructure, including ports and transportation networks. This infrastructure facilitates the import of raw materials and export of finished products, ensuring smooth operations for the gas cracker plant.

3. Availability of Natural Gas: Natural gas is the primary feedstock for gas cracker plants. Nagathane is located in close proximity to the Mumbai High offshore oil fields, which are known to have significant natural gas reserves. This availability of natural gas makes Nagathane an ideal location for a gas cracker plant.

4. Economic Impact: The establishment of a gas cracker plant in Nagathane will bring significant economic benefits to the region. It will create job opportunities for the local population, attract investments, and stimulate ancillary industries. This will contribute to the overall development and prosperity of the area.

In conclusion, Nagathane is the correct answer because of its strategic location, well-developed infrastructure, availability of natural gas, and the positive economic impact it will have on the region.

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shruti Rane answered
Queenberry Rules is the name given to the rules in boxing. These rules were established in the late 19th century and have since then shaped the sport of boxing as we know it today. The rules were named after John Graham Chambers, also known as "The Marquess of Queensberry," who played a significant role in introducing and promoting these rules.

1. Background:
- During the 18th and early 19th centuries, boxing matches were often brutal and lacked any standardized rules.
- The fights were bare-knuckle and lasted for long durations, resulting in severe injuries and even deaths.
- To bring some order and safety to the sport, the Queensberry Rules were developed.

2. Introduction of the Queensberry Rules:
- The Queensberry Rules were introduced in 1867 and became the foundation for modern boxing.
- They were first published under the sponsorship of John Graham Chambers, a nobleman and boxing enthusiast.
- These rules were widely adopted and gradually replaced the previously unregulated practices.

3. Key Features of the Queensberry Rules:
- Gloves: The rules mandated the use of padded gloves in boxing matches. This helped to reduce the severity of injuries and made the sport safer for participants.
- Rounds: The fights were divided into rounds, typically lasting three minutes each, with specified rest intervals between rounds.
- Ring Size and Boundaries: The rules defined the size and shape of the boxing ring, including the ropes and the corners.
- Weight Divisions: The introduction of weight divisions allowed fair competition between fighters of similar weights.
- Banned Techniques: The Queensberry Rules prohibited certain techniques, such as hitting below the belt, headbutting, and wrestling.

4. Impact and Legacy:
- The Queensberry Rules revolutionized boxing, transforming it from a brutal spectacle to a regulated sport.
- These rules laid the foundation for modern boxing, shaping its structure, safety measures, and fair competition.
- The adoption of the Queensberry Rules led to the establishment of numerous boxing organizations and governing bodies, both at the national and international levels.

In conclusion, the Queensberry Rules are a set of regulations that transformed boxing into a regulated and safer sport. These rules were named after John Graham Chambers, who played a significant role in their introduction and promotion. The Queensberry Rules continue to govern professional boxing matches to this day.

India's biggest nuclear research reactor is

  • b)
    Circus
  • c)
    Dhruva
  • d)
    Purnima
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Mamali . answered
The Dhruva reactor is India's largest research reactor and primary source of weapons-grade plutonium. Originally named the R-5, this Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) first went critical on 8 August 1985 after 10 years of construction. Designed as a larger version of the CIRUS reactor, Dhruva was an indigenous project built to provide an independent source of weapons-grade plutonium free from safeguards. The Dhruva project cost 950 million rupees. The reactor uses heavy water (deuterium) as a moderator and coolant. Aluminum clad fuel rods containing natural uranium are burned to obtain a maximum power output of 100MW. At the time of the reactor's construction, India still had limited amounts of indigenously produced heavy water. The initial heavy water load was likely acquired through clandestine imports from China, Norway, and the Soviet Union through a German intermediary, although Indian officials have denied these allegations. After obtaining criticality, BARC had technical problems with the operation of Dhruva. The reactor was shutdown due to vibration problems that caused 4 metric tons of heavy water to overflow from the reactor core. The vibrations were caused by the high pressure flow of heavy water through the aluminum clad fuel assemblies. After analysis of the vibration problems and modification of the fuel design, the Dhruva reactor resumed limited operation January 1987. On 17 January 1988, Dhruva finally attained its full power of 100MW. Today, Dhruva serves as the primary source of spent fuel, which is reprocessed to obtain weapons-grade plutonium. It is estimated that the Dhruva reactor is capable of producing about 20-25kg of plutonium annually.

Safety standards at BARC have come under question after the revelation in 1991 that Dhruva was operated for nearly a month with a malfunctioning emergency coolant system. Also in October 1989, a reactor technician was accidentally locked inside a shielded room at Dhruva. The technician saved his life only by repeatedly shutting off the coolant pump to the reactor, causing the reactor to repeatedly shut down. The technician was found by chance an hour after the incident.

Assertion(A): Spring tides occur on new moon and full moon days.
Reason(R) : On these days the sun, the moon and the earth are in a straight line.
  • a)
    Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • b)
    Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • c)
    Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  • d)
    Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nilanjan Joshi answered
Explanation:

Spring tides occur on new moon and full moon days. This is because the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon on the earth is in the same direction on these days. The combined gravitational force causes the high tides to be higher than usual and the low tides to be lower than usual.

On these days the sun, the moon and the earth are in a straight line. This is because during full moon and new moon days, the moon is either directly between the sun and the earth or the earth is directly between the sun and the moon. This alignment causes the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon to add up, resulting in higher tides.

Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A'.

Which one of the following parts of the plant is used for the extraction of opium?

  • b)
    Flowers
  • c)
    Leaves
  • d)
    Roots
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Jhanvi Bajaj answered
Correct Answer :- a
Explanation : Opium (or poppy tears, scientific name: Lachryma papaveris) is dried latex obtained from the seed capsules of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum. Approximately 12 percent of opium is made up of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other synthetic opioids for medicinal use and for the illegal drug trade. The latex also contains the closely related opiates codeine and thebaine, and non-analgesic alkaloids such as papaverine and noscapine. The traditional, labor-intensive method of obtaining the latex is to scratch ("score") the immature seed pods (fruits) by hand; the latex leaks out and dries to a sticky yellowish residue that is later scraped off and dehydrated.
