Minimizing Hypermetropia with Convex Lens
Hypermetropia is a refractive error of the eye in which the light entering the eye is focused behind the retina instead of on it, resulting in blurred vision of nearby objects. A convex lens is used to correct hypermetropia by converging the light rays and bringing them to focus on the retina.
How does a Convex Lens work?
A convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, which causes the light rays passing through it to converge. When a convex lens is placed in front of the eye, it converges the light rays and brings them to focus on the retina, which corrects hypermetropia.
Advantages of using a Convex Lens for Hypermetropia
1. Improved Vision: A convex lens helps to bring the light rays to focus on the retina, which results in clearer and sharper vision.
2. Ease of Use: Convex lenses are easy to use and require no maintenance.
3. Cost Effective: Convex lenses are cost-effective and readily available.
Conclusion
A convex lens is the best option to correct hypermetropia as it helps to converge the light rays and bring them to focus on the retina. It is easy to use, cost-effective, and readily available. It is important to consult an eye specialist to determine the right type and power of lens required to correct hypermetropia.

Alok Verma answered |
जब किसी धातु की सतह पर विद्युत चुम्बकीय विकरण (Electro Magnetic Radiation) जैसे X-किरण, पराबैगनी किरण, दृश्य प्रकाश पड़ती है तो उसकी सतह से इलेक्ट्रॉन निकलने लगते है, सरल शब्दों में यही प्रकाश विद्युत प्रभाव (Photoelectric effect) है।
इस क्रिया से जो इलेक्ट्रॉन निकलते है उसे प्रकाश इलेक्ट्रॉन (Photoelectron) कहते है। दृश्य प्रकाश का उपयोग केवल क्षारीय धातु पर ही यह प्रभाव दिखाता है जबकि X-किरण का जब उपयोग किया जाता है तो लगभग सभी धातुएँ प्रकाश विद्युत प्रभाव दिखाती है।

Sagar Sharma answered |
Understanding the Risks of Portfolio Investment
Portfolio investment is often considered unsafe compared to other types of foreign investments. Here’s why:
Market Volatility
- Portfolio investments primarily involve purchasing stocks, bonds, or other securities, which are subject to market fluctuations.
- Investors can face significant losses if the market experiences a downturn, making it riskier compared to more stable investments like Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Lack of Control
- Investors in portfolio investments typically have no control over the companies they invest in.
- This lack of influence can lead to unfavorable outcomes without any recourse for the investor.
Short-Term Focus
- Portfolio investments often emphasize short-term gains, which can lead to hasty decisions based on market trends rather than long-term value.
- This focus increases the risk of losses during market corrections.
Economic and Political Risks
- Portfolio investments are sensitive to changes in economic policies and political stability.
- Sudden changes can lead to rapid withdrawal of funds, impacting the overall market and individual investors.
Liquidity Risk
- In some situations, investors may find it challenging to sell their investments quickly without incurring substantial losses.
- This is particularly true in less liquid markets or during economic crises.
In summary, while portfolio investments can offer high returns, they come with considerable risks that make them less safe compared to options like FDI, NRI deposits, or external commercial borrowing, which often provide more stability and control.

Sagar Sharma answered |
Natural gas is a commercial source of energy. Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of plants and animals buried deep beneath the Earth's surface over millions of years. It is primarily composed of methane, with small amounts of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane.
Natural gas is extracted from underground reservoirs through drilling wells. It is then transported through pipelines to various facilities for processing and distribution. Once processed, it can be used for a variety of purposes, including heating, cooking, and electricity generation.
There are several reasons why natural gas is considered a commercial source of energy:
1. Abundance: Natural gas reserves are plentiful, making it readily available for commercial use. It is estimated that there are significant reserves of natural gas worldwide, ensuring a stable supply for energy needs.
2. Efficiency: Natural gas is a highly efficient source of energy. When burned, it produces less carbon dioxide emissions compared to other fossil fuels like coal and oil. This makes it a cleaner option for power generation and reduces the environmental impact.
3. Versatility: Natural gas can be used for various applications. It is commonly used for heating homes and businesses, as well as for cooking.

Sagar Sharma answered |
The correct answer is option 'A' - UNDP (United Nations Development Programme).
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a measure of human development and well-being in different countries. It is calculated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and provides a composite index that takes into account various factors related to human development.
The HDI is based on three dimensions of human development:
1. Life expectancy at birth: This dimension reflects the overall health and longevity of the population. It measures the average number of years a person is expected to live from birth.
2. Education: This dimension includes two indicators - mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling. Mean years of schooling refers to the average number of years of education received by people aged 25 and above. Expected years of schooling measures the number of years of education a child of school entrance age is expected to receive.
3. Gross national income (GNI) per capita: This dimension reflects the economic well-being of the population. GNI per capita is the total income of a country's residents, including income from abroad, divided by the population.
The HDI combines these three dimensions into a single index, which ranges from 0 to 1. A higher HDI value indicates higher levels of human development.
The UNDP prepares the HDI annually and publishes it in the Human Development Report. This report provides an overview of human development trends and challenges around the world. It helps policymakers and development practitioners understand the progress made in different countries and identify areas that need attention.
In conclusion, the Human Development Index is prepared by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). It is a comprehensive measure of human development and well-being, taking into account dimensions such as life expectancy, education, and income.
