Nation: President :: State:_____
  • a)
    Chief Minister                       
  • b)
    Governor    
  • c)
    Minister                                            
  • d)
    Leader       
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Akshara chauhan answered
In the context of the relationship between a nation and its leader, the corresponding relationship between a state and its leader is that of a Governor. The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:
A nation is a sovereign political entity that is typically governed by a President. The President is the head of state and is responsible for representing the nation both domestically and internationally. The President is usually elected by the citizens of the nation and holds significant executive powers.

Similarly, a state is a subnational political entity within a nation. It is typically governed by a Governor who serves as the head of the state government. The Governor is responsible for representing the state's interests and implementing state policies. The Governor is usually appointed or elected within the state, depending on the specific constitutional provisions of the nation.

The role of a Governor is similar to that of a President at the state level. Both positions involve executive authority and leadership responsibilities. The Governor represents the state within the nation, interacts with the federal government, and oversees the implementation of state laws and policies.

The Governor is appointed to the position by the President or elected by the citizens of the state, depending on the constitutional framework of the nation. In some cases, the Governor may also serve as the ceremonial head of the state, performing duties such as opening and closing legislative sessions, granting pardons, and awarding honors.

Therefore, the correct analogy for the relationship between a nation and its leader (President) is the relationship between a state and its leader (Governor). The Governor serves as the chief executive of the state, just as the President serves as the chief executive of the nation.

Mira kapoor answered
Contradicting Views on Technically Qualified Young Indians

Introduction:
The statement suggests that many technically qualified young Indians are unable to find employment opportunities despite graduating from colleges.

Contradicting Statement:
Option D contradicts this view. It suggests that the majority of technically qualified persons are migrating from India to developed countries for better opportunities.

Explanation:
- Many technically qualified Indians are seeking opportunities abroad: The option D suggests that there is a significant number of technically qualified persons who are leaving India to seek better opportunities in developed countries. This contradicts the idea that there are not enough opportunities for them in India.
- Brain drain: The migration of technically qualified persons from India to other countries is often referred to as "brain drain." This suggests that there is a surplus of highly skilled individuals in India who are looking for better opportunities elsewhere.
- India's loss: The migration of highly skilled individuals is often seen as a loss for India. These individuals could contribute to the development of the country if they stayed and worked in India. This contradicts the idea that there are not enough opportunities for technically qualified individuals in India.

Conclusion:
Option D contradicts the view that there are not enough opportunities for technically qualified young Indians in India by suggesting that many of them are leaving the country to seek better opportunities abroad.

Lock, Shut, Fasten
  • a)
    Window
  • b)
    Block
  • c)
    Iron
  • d)
    Door
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Devendra murthy answered
Understanding the Question
The question asks to identify which term does not belong with the others in the context of locking mechanisms. The options provided are:
- a) Window
- b) Block
- c) Iron
- d) Door
Analyzing the Options
- Window: This is an opening in a wall, typically covered with glass. Windows can have locks, but they are not inherently a locking mechanism.
- Block: This term is quite general. It can refer to something that obstructs or prevents movement but is not specifically related to a locking mechanism.
- Iron: This material is often used in the construction of locks, doors, and security systems. It relates to the strength and durability of locking mechanisms.
- Door: This is a barrier that can be locked. Doors are directly associated with the concept of locking, as they frequently use locks for security.
Identifying the Odd One Out
The correct answer is option 'D' (Door) because:
- While "Window," "Block," and "Iron" can all relate to the concept of security or obstruction in different contexts, "Door" is inherently a locking mechanism.
- "Block" does not specifically indicate a locking system or item, making it less relevant than "Door."
Conclusion
In summary, the odd term here is "Block" as it is the least specific to locking mechanisms compared to "Window," "Iron," and "Door."
Thus, the correct answer is option 'D'.

Ecosystems function like intricate networks, where each organism plays a specific role, much like workers in a coordinated system. Understanding these roles and their relationships reveals the delicate balance that sustains life. Ecologists argue that analyzing these connections helps predict environmental changes and informs conservation strategies. Critics, however, caution that oversimplifying these relationships risks missing their complexity, potentially leading to flawed policies.

In a forest ecosystem, the
sun
is a power source, fueling plant growth.
Trees
act as architects, building habitats with their branches and roots stabilizing soil.
Herbivores
, like deer, are consumers, trimming vegetation to prevent overgrowth.
Predators
, such as wolves, are regulators, maintaining herbivore populations to protect plant life.
Decomposers
, like fungi, are recyclers, breaking down dead matter to replenish soil nutrients. Each role is interdependent, forming a web of relationships that ensures stability.

For example of a pond ecosystem:
Algae
serves as the power source, producing energy via photosynthesis.
Aquatic plants
are architects, providing structure and oxygen.
Fish
act as consumers, feeding on algae to control its spread.
Herons
are regulators, preying on fish to balance the system.
Bacteria
are recyclers, decomposing waste to enrich the water.

The relationships can be expressed as analogies: the sun is to trees as algae is to aquatic plants (power source to architect). Similarly, herbivores are to predators as fish are to herons (consumer to regulator). These analogies highlight functional similarities across ecosystems, aiding ecologists in comparing systems. However, critics argue that analogies may oversimplify unique interactions, such as a predator’s impact on soil health, which could lead to misinformed conservation efforts.

Consider Maya, an ecologist studying a grassland ecosystem. She identifies
grass
as the power source** and
bison
as consumers. To complete her analysis, she needs to map relationships using analogies based on the forest or pond models. For instance, what role in the grassland corresponds to wolves in the forest? Such questions test the ability to apply relational patterns while critically assessing the limits of analogical reasoning in complex systems.
Which pair completes the analogy:
Sun is to herbivores in the forest ecosystem as algae is to ____ in the pond ecosystem?
  • a)
    Herons
  • b)
    Bacteria
  • c)
    Fish
  • d)
    Aquatic plants
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Devansh Malik answered
Understanding the Analogy
In the analogy "Sun is to herbivores in the forest ecosystem as algae is to ____ in the pond ecosystem," we need to identify what role corresponds to herbivores in the context of the pond ecosystem.
Breaking Down the Components
- Sun in Forest Ecosystem: The sun is the primary energy source that fuels plant growth, which in turn supports herbivores.
- Herbivores in Forest Ecosystem: These are the consumers that feed on the plants (e.g., trees) and help regulate plant growth.
- Algae in Pond Ecosystem: Similar to how the sun provides energy to plants, algae produces energy through photosynthesis, establishing the foundational energy source for the pond ecosystem.
Identifying the Corresponding Role
- Consumers in Pond Ecosystem: In the pond ecosystem, the primary consumers that feed on algae are fish. They play a crucial role in controlling the growth of algae, much like herbivores maintain plant growth in the forest.
- Options Analysis:
- a) Herons - These are predators, not consumers.
- b) Bacteria - These are decomposers, not primary consumers.
- c) Fish - These are the consumers feeding on algae.
- d) Aquatic plants - These are analogous to trees, not to herbivores.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is c) Fish, as they directly consume algae in the pond ecosystem, just as herbivores consume plants in the forest ecosystem. This analogy highlights the functional similarities in energy transfer and consumer roles across different ecosystems, underscoring the interconnectedness of ecological relationships.

TR : VX :: MK : ?
  • a)
    QP
  • b)
    QR
  • c)
    OQ
  • d)
    OP
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anoushka dubey answered
Understanding the Relationship
To solve the analogy TR : VX :: MK : ?, we need to identify the pattern connecting the first pair of letters and apply the same logic to the second pair.
Analyzing the First Pair (TR : VX)
- Letter Positions:
- T is the 20th letter of the alphabet.
- R is the 18th letter of the alphabet.
- V is the 22nd letter of the alphabet.
- X is the 24th letter of the alphabet.
- Observing the Pattern:
- From T (20) to V (22): +2
- From R (18) to X (24): +6
The first letters increase by 2, and the second letters increase by 6.
Applying the Same Logic to MK
- Letter Positions:
- M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.
- K is the 11th letter of the alphabet.
- Calculating the Increments:
- For M: 13 + 2 = 15 (which corresponds to O)
- For K: 11 + 6 = 17 (which corresponds to Q)
Thus, MK transforms into OQ by applying the same increments as in the first pair.
Conclusion
The answer to the analogy MK : ? is OQ, which matches option 'C'. This consistent approach of identifying letter positions and increments leads us to the correct solution.

Sound : Medium:: Light:?

ZY : CD :: SR:?
  • a)
    RS
  • b)
    VW
  • c)
    EP
  • d)
    PQ
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
Z shifts back by 24 positions to C (Z - 24 = C). Y shifts back by 24 positions to D (Y - 24 = D). Applying the same pattern to the second pair "SR," we need to shift each letter back by 24 positions:
S shifts back by 24 positions to E (S - 24 = E).
R shifts back by 24 positions to P (R - 24 = P).
So, the completed analogy is SR: EP.

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

Dharini sharma answered
Reason for the shift from local grocery stores to supermarkets by the smaller brands:

Higher visibility:
- Supermarkets offer higher visibility to smaller brands compared to local grocery stores due to the larger footfall and wider customer base.

Lower distribution costs:
- Smaller brands can break into newer markets with the help of supermarkets without having to invest substantially in distribution, unlike in local grocery stores.

Cost-effective pricing:
- Although supermarkets charge smaller brands 10% higher than bigger brands, the overall profit generated from supermarkets can be higher due to the increased sales volume.

Lack of visibility at local grocery stores:
- Smaller brands are outnumbered by bigger brands at local grocery stores, leading to lower visibility and hence lower sales.
Therefore, the shift from local grocery stores to supermarkets by smaller brands can be attributed to reasons such as higher visibility, lower distribution costs, cost-effective pricing, and lack of visibility at local grocery stores.

Has seen a significant decrease in global carbon emissions. This reduction is mainly attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown measures implemented by many countries.

The pandemic led to a decrease in industrial activities, transportation, and overall economic output, resulting in a sharp decline in carbon emissions. Factories and businesses were temporarily shut down, and travel restrictions were imposed, leading to a decrease in the use of fossil fuels.

According to a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, global carbon dioxide emissions decreased by around 2.4 billion metric tons in 2020, which is a reduction of about 7%. This is the largest annual decrease in emissions ever recorded.

The decrease in carbon emissions during the pandemic highlights the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through changes in human behavior and societal patterns. It also emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable and low-carbon alternatives in various sectors such as transportation, energy, and manufacturing.

However, experts warn that this reduction is temporary and not a sustainable solution to combat climate change. Once the pandemic is under control and economic activities resume, carbon emissions are likely to rebound unless long-term measures are put in place.

Governments and policymakers should take this opportunity to invest in green technologies, renewable energy sources, and sustainable practices. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy and adopting cleaner energy sources will be crucial in ensuring a sustainable future and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

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

Namita verma answered
Solution:

The skewed sex ratio against women in India is a serious issue and needs to be addressed immediately. The following steps can be effective in reversing the trend:

(A) Ban on scanners/sonography: The use of scanners/sonography for determining the sex of the foetus has been misused by many people in India to selectively abort female foetuses. Therefore, a complete ban on the use of scanners/sonography on expecting mothers at all health centres can prevent the misuse of this technology.

(B) Incentive scheme: The government can announce a substantial incentive scheme for couples who have at least one girl child. This can encourage people to have girl children and can help in improving the sex ratio.

(C) Awareness campaign: The government can launch a nationwide campaign to create awareness against female foeticide. This can help in educating people about the importance of having girl children and the consequences of female foeticide.

Thus, all three steps can be effective in reversing the trend of skewed sex ratio against women in India. Hence, the correct option is (D) All (A), (B) and (C).

Fog: Visibility:: AIDS:?
  • a)
    Health
  • b)
    Resistance
  • c)
    Virus
  • d)
    Death
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajveer Sen answered
Understanding the Analogy
The analogy presented is "Fog: Visibility :: AIDS: ?". In this analogy, we need to identify a term that relates to AIDS in the same way that fog relates to visibility.
Analyzing the First Pair: Fog and Visibility
- Fog is a weather condition that significantly reduces visibility.
- When fog is present, it obscures what we can see, making it difficult to navigate or perceive our surroundings clearly.
Connecting the Second Pair: AIDS
To find the correct relationship for AIDS, we must consider what AIDS does in a similar manner:
- AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a condition that severely impairs the body's immune system.
- As a result, individuals with AIDS face a significant resistance to infections and diseases.
Examining the Options
- a) Health: This is too broad and does not specifically relate to AIDS.
- b) Resistance: This option directly correlates with how AIDS diminishes the body's ability to resist infections.
- c) Virus: While HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) is important, the term does not express the impact of AIDS itself.
- d) Death: Although AIDS can lead to death, it does not represent the immediate consequence of the condition in the same way fog impacts visibility.
Conclusion
Thus, the best choice in the analogy is b) Resistance, as it effectively captures the essence of how AIDS affects the immune system, similar to how fog affects visibility.

Read the following information carefully and answer the question which follows.
A recent report points to the fact that what stands between girls in village Regari and a good education is the lack of transport to and from the only school in the area.
Which of the following can be inferred from the given statement?(An inference is something which is not directly stated but can be inferred from the given facts.)
  • a)
    Everyone living in Regari faces problems in commuting.
  • b)
    Discrimination against girls is more evident in Regari than in other villages in India.
  • c)
    The report has shown Regari in a poor light.
  • d)
    The school in Regari is not at a walking distance from the village.
  • e)
    There is also a lack of institute for higher learning in Regari.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Bijoy Chavan answered
**Inference from the given statement:**

The given statement suggests that the lack of transport is the main obstacle preventing girls in village Regari from accessing education. From this statement, we can infer the following:

**d) The school in Regari is not at a walking distance from the village.**

This can be inferred from the fact that the lack of transport is mentioned as the main issue. If the school were within walking distance, the lack of transport would not be a significant problem. Therefore, it can be inferred that the school is located at a distance from the village, making it difficult for the girls to reach it without transportation.

This inference is supported by the statement that "what stands between girls in village Regari and a good education is the lack of transport to and from the only school in the area." The phrase "to and from" indicates that the distance between the village and the school is such that transportation is required both ways.

It is important to note that the other options cannot be inferred from the given statement:

a) The statement does not provide information about the commuting problems faced by everyone in Regari. It specifically mentions the lack of transport as the barrier to girls' education.

b) The statement does not provide any comparison with other villages in India, so we cannot infer that discrimination against girls is more evident in Regari.

c) The statement does not provide any information about the overall condition of Regari, so we cannot infer that the report has shown Regari in a poor light.

e) The statement only mentions the lack of transport to the school, so we cannot infer anything about the availability of higher learning institutes in Regari.

Govind dube answered
Understanding the Terms
The terms Tamilian, Gujarati, and Punjabi refer to specific cultural and linguistic groups within India. Each group has its own distinct language, traditions, and history, but they all share a common national identity as Indians.
Significance of "Indian"
- Cultural Diversity: India is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and religions. Tamilian, Gujarati, and Punjabi communities contribute to this rich tapestry.
- National Identity: Despite their regional differences, these groups are united under the Indian flag. They celebrate India's independence and participate in national events together.
- Constitutional Framework: The Indian Constitution recognizes the diversity of its people while promoting unity. This is reflected in the protection of various languages and cultures.
Why Not Other Options?
- Aryan: This term generally refers to a linguistic group and does not encompass the broader cultural identity of the mentioned communities.
- Dravidian: While the Tamilian community is part of the Dravidian linguistic family, this term does not apply to Gujaratis and Punjabis.
- Barbarian: This term is outdated and carries a pejorative connotation, which is not applicable in the context of discussing the Indian communities.
Conclusion
In summary, the term "Indian" accurately represents the shared national identity of Tamilian, Gujarati, and Punjabi communities, highlighting their individual uniqueness while celebrating their collective belonging to India.

Effect of Deteriorated Roads in the City during Monsoon

The deteriorated condition of the roads in the city during the first two months of monsoon, resulting in the development of big potholes, can have several possible effects. Among the given options, option B seems to be the most plausible effect. Let's discuss why.

1. Option A: The municipal corporation has repaired all the roads in the city before the onset of monsoon with good quality material.
This option suggests that the municipal corporation has already repaired all the roads with good quality material before the monsoon. Therefore, it contradicts the given cause, which states that the roads have deteriorated during the monsoon. Hence, this option cannot be a possible effect of the cause mentioned.

2. Option B: A large number of people have developed spine-related injuries after regularly commuting long distances by road within the city.
This option is a likely effect of deteriorated roads with big potholes. When roads are in poor condition, it becomes challenging for vehicles to navigate smoothly. Potholes can cause sudden jolts and jerks to vehicles, leading to accidents and injuries. Spine-related injuries are not uncommon in such cases, especially if people are regularly commuting long distances on these damaged roads. Therefore, option B can be a possible effect of the cause mentioned.

3. Option C: The municipal corporation has been careful in choosing the contractors for repairing roads in the past.
This option talks about the past actions of the municipal corporation in selecting contractors for road repairs. However, it does not directly relate to the current condition of the roads during the monsoon. Hence, option C is not a probable effect of the given cause.

4. Option D: People always complain about potholed roads during the monsoon months.
This option is a general statement that people tend to complain about potholed roads during the monsoon months. While this statement may be true, it does not necessarily address the specific effect of the deteriorated roads mentioned in the cause. It is more of a common observation rather than a direct consequence of the cause. Therefore, option D is not a strong possible effect.

Based on the above analysis, option B is the most likely effect of the deteriorated condition of the roads during the monsoon. It directly addresses the potential harm caused to people due to the poor road conditions, particularly spine-related injuries resulting from regular commuting on damaged roads.

As we see honest is related to truthful, so obdurate is related to Adamant. Both have similar meanings.

(A)  As an innovation is a standalone product in the market, it reaps in all the profit till the ‘innovators’ imitate it. ‘Imovation’, however, is not profitable as there are many imitated products in the market at the same time, all reducing each other’s profits.
(B) Brand X duplicated Brand Y’s mobile phones with exactly the same features and same price range but failed to make an impact in the market.
(C) No one remembers the innovators after some time because they did not turn their idea into success. On the other hands, the imitators did what they had to just at the right time.

Anirudh Mehra answered
Contradiction of the fact that imitation of products is a successful market strategy:

Statement A:
- This statement contradicts the fact that imitation of products is a successful market strategy.
- It highlights that 'imovation' may not be as profitable as pure innovation because imitators have to compete with multiple similar products in the market, reducing each other's profits.
Therefore, statement A contradicts the idea that imitation of products is always a successful market strategy.
