Anurag Kumar (IPS), a 1994-batch Indian Police Service officer, has been appointed as the Joint Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC). This appointment is significant in the context of government appointments.

The Government of Nepal  is an executive body and the central government of Nepal. Prior to the abolition of the Nepali monarchy in 2008, it was officially known as His Majesty's Government.

The head of state is the President and the Prime Minister holds the position of the Head of executive. The role of President is largely ceremonial as the functioning of the government is managed entirely by the Prime Minister who is appointed by the Parliament.

The heads of constitutional bodies are appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Constitutional Council, with the exception of the Attorney General, who is appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Prime Minister.

The correct answer is It is a closed system.
Key Points

• Ecosystem:
  • Ecosystem, a natural resource system, the complex of living organisms, their physical environment, and all their interrelationships in a particular unit of space.
  • An ecosystem is an open system that can be categorized into its abiotic constituents, including minerals, climate, soil, water, sunlight, and all other nonliving elements, and its biotic constituents, consisting of all its living members. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
  • Linking these constituents together are two major forces: the flow of energy through the ecosystem, and the cycling of nutrients within the ecosystem.
  • The fundamental source of energy in almost all ecosystems is radiant energy from the Sun.
  • The energy of sunlight is used by the ecosystem’s autotrophic, or self-sustaining, organisms. Consisting largely of green vegetation, these organisms are capable of photosynthesis i.e., they can use the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple, energy-rich carbohydrates.
  • The autotrophs use the energy stored within the simple carbohydrates to produce the more complex organic compounds, such as proteins, lipids, and starches, that maintain the organisms’ life processes.
  • The autotrophic segment of the ecosystem is commonly referred to as the producer level.

Additional Information

• The organic matter generated by autotrophs directly or indirectly sustains heterotrophic organisms.
• Heterotrophs are the consumers of the ecosystem; they cannot make their own food.
• They use, rearrange, and ultimately decompose the complex organic materials built up by the autotrophs.
• All animals and fungi are heterotrophs, as are most bacteria and many other microorganisms.
• Together, the autotrophs and heterotrophs form various trophic (feeding) levels in the ecosystem: the producer level, composed of those organisms that make their own food; the primary consumer level, composed of those organisms that feed on producers; the secondary consumer level, composed of those organisms that feed on primary consumers; and so on.
• The movement of organic matter and energy from the producer level through various consumer levels makes up a food chain.
• For example, a typical food chain in a grassland might be grass (producer) → mouse (primary consumer) → snake (secondary consumer) → hawk (tertiary consumer).
• Actually, in many cases the food chains of the ecosystem overlap and interconnect, forming what ecologists call a food web.
• The final link in all food chains is made up of decomposers, those heterotrophs that break down dead organisms and organic wastes.
• A food chain in which the primary consumer feeds on living plants is called a grazing pathway; that in which the primary consumer feeds on dead plant matter is known as a detritus pathway.
• Both pathways are important in accounting for the energy budget of the ecosystem.

Hence, the applicant meets all the criteria.

Explanation: A globe is a three-dimensional representation of the Earth, and it does not represent the Earth on a flat surface. The other options are limitations of the globe. The distortion is seen in the regions around the poles; details are given in the form of symbols, and it is difficult to study the detailed part of the Earth on a globe due to its small size and scale.

Given statements: K > M < L = Z = O < P.

Conclusions:

I. P < Z → False (As, L = Z = O < P → P > Z).

II. M = Z → False ( M < L = Z → M < Z and L = Z).

Hence, "Neither Conclusion I nor II correct".

i) Rohit walked 30m towards South.
ii) Took a left turn and walked 50m
iii) Again he took a left turn and walked 30m.
Drawing the Diagram as per the given information:

AB = CD = 50m
Thus we can see he is 50m far from the starting point.
Hence, the correct answer is "50m".

(i) The COD (Chemical oxygen demand) test is used to measure the content of organic matter of waste water, both biodegradable and non-biodegradble.

(ii) The COD test uses potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) solution that oxidizes both organic (predominate) and inorganic substances in a waste water sample.

(iii) The reagents for COD test are followings:

• Standard potassium dichromate solution (0.25N)
• Concentrated sulfuric acid
• Standard ferrous ammonium sulphate titrant (0.1N)
• Ferroin indicator solution.

• The National Quantum Mission was approved recently by the Union Cabinet. Its aim is to seed, nurture and scale scientific and industrial research and development and create an innovative ecosystem in quantum technology.

Q, R, S, T, U, and V are seated in a straight line facing North.

i) S is second to the right of T.

ii) T is second to the right of Q.

iii) R is to the immediate left of Q

iv) R is to the immediate left of Q and is second to the left of V.

Thus we can see there are two persons seating between S and V.

Hence, the correct answer is "Two".

The correct chronological order of the following famous Ancient Indian astronomers and mathematicians is:

I. Aryabhatta

II. Varahamihira

III. Brahmagupta

IV. Bhaskara

The chronological order of these astronomers and mathematicians can be determined based on the time periods in which they lived and made significant contributions to their respective fields.

• Aryabhatta: Aryabhatta was an ancient Indian mathematician and astronomer who lived during the 5th century. He is known for his work on mathematics, including the concept of zero and the decimal system.
