The correct answer is UVC.
Explanation

• UVC radiation has the shortest wavelength among UV rays, ranging from 100 to 280 nm, making it the most harmful.
• The Earth's atmosphere, specifically the ozone layer, blocks almost all UVC radiation from reaching the surface.
• UVC radiation is primarily absorbed by atmospheric oxygen and ozone in the stratosphere before it can penetrate to lower altitudes.
• Unlike UV-A and UV-B, UVC does not contribute to environmental or health impacts on Earth's surface due to its complete absorption.
• UVC radiation is widely used in sterilization and disinfection technologies due to its ability to destroy microorganisms.

Other Related Points

• UV-A: Longest wavelength (315–400 nm); penetrates the atmosphere and reaches Earth’s surface, contributing to skin aging and tanning.
• UV-B: Medium wavelength (280–315 nm); partially absorbed by the ozone layer, can cause sunburn and skin cancer.
• Ozone Layer: A region in the Earth's stratosphere containing high concentrations of ozone; it plays a critical role in absorbing most of the sun’s harmful UV radiation.
• UV Radiation: Ultraviolet radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun, categorized into UV-A, UV-B, and UVC based on wavelength.
• Artificial UVC Sources: UVC radiation is produced artificially through lamps and devices used for sterilization in hospitals, labs, and industrial settings.

Statements:

R > S ≥ T ≥ W, W ≥ U < M

Conclusions:

I. U < S → False(as R > S ≥ T ≥ W, W ≥ U < M then R > S ≥ T ≥ W ≥ U ⇒ S ≥ U)

II. S = U → False (as R > S ≥ T ≥ W, W ≥ U < M then R > S ≥ T ≥ W ≥ U ⇒ S ≥ U )

As we can see either conclusion I or conclusion II is true as per the given information.

Hence, the correct answer is "Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.".

Remember BODMAS Rule:
One easy way to remember the BODMAS rule is to perform these steps:

​

Given equation: [{(12 × 7) - (4 ÷ 4)} + (3 - 4)] ÷ 3
After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get
[{(12 × 7) - (4 ÷ 4)} + (3 - 4)] ÷ 3
= [{(12 - 7) + (4 × 4)} ÷ (3 + 4)] × 3
= [{(5) + (16)} ÷ (7)] × 3
= [{21} ÷ (7)] × 3
= [3] × 3
= 9
Hence, "9" is the correct answer.

As per the given information the family tree diagram:
Case 1: When grandfather has only one son.

Case 2: When grandfather has two or more sons.

Here, 'Rima' is the 'Sister or cousin' of Anand.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The correct answer is Only assumption I is implicit.
Explanation

• Based on the given statement, inference - I follows but not II. The given statement tells that the mother is warning her child not to trouble her.
• So, if the statement is true, the first inference follows from the given statement i.e., the child will stop causing trouble because of the warning.

The statement is not sufficient to infer, in general, that all children are naughty.

The correct answer is Portable Document Format (PDF).

The correct answer is 3.
Concept:

• The MOD function accepts two real number operands as parameters and returns the residual after dividing the integer component of the first argument (the dividend) by the integer part of the second argument (the divisor). The data type returned is INT (or INT8 for remainders outside the range of INT).
• MOD(X,Y)
  • The above-mentioned function is from Microsoft Excel.
  • When two values are split, the MOD function returns the residual, which is referred to as the modulo function.

Explanation

• The mod function =MOD(27, 6) will produce the following value: 3.
• The given data,
  • 27 = B3
  • =MOD(B3, 6) may be written as =MOD(27, 6)
• The numerator is equal to 27.
• The denominator is equal to 6.
• As a result, 27/6 = 4 and the remaining (27 - 24) = 3
  • 27 - (6 × 4) = 27 - 24 = 3

Different methods of teaching mathematics have been proposed by different educators.

• Knowledge of these methods may help in working out a teaching-learning strategy.
• A teacher should adopt an approach considering the nature of the children, their interests and maturity and the resources available.

Explanation

• Teaching methods in mathematics:
  • Lecture method: The lecture method is useful in introducing new topics.
  • Play-way method: Playway method helps in developing desirable attitudes and skills. It gives confidence to learners.
  • Inductive-deductive method: Mathematics in the making is experimental and inductive. Induction is that form of reasoning in which a general law is derived from a study of particular objects or specific processes. 
  • Heuristic method:
• This method can also be named the ‘discovery method’:
  • It demands complete self-activity of self-learning on the part of the student.
  • For example: to find various characteristics of a rectangle by using a geometric box.
  • Through this method, the student learns to reason for himself.
  • It develops self-confidence, originality, independence of judgement and thinking power in the learner to make him an ever-successful student.

Hence, it can be concluded that the teaching method used by visually impaired students to find the various characteristics of a rectangle by using a geometric box is a heuristic method.

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation has been introduced as a school-based system of evaluation by the CBSE in 2009 with the enactment of the Right to Education Act.
Explanation

• CCE describes two different types of evaluations which include a summative and formative evaluation.
  • "Summative Evaluation", commonly known as "Assessment of Learning" is a type of evaluation which:
    • measures, certifies, and reports the level of students' learning by assessing them at the end of the term.
    • produces an accurate description of students' potential and achievement to promote them to the next grades.
  • "Formative evaluation", commonly known as "Assessment for Learning" is a type of evaluation which:
    • monitor the child's progress throughout the teaching-learning process and improves students' academic achievements.
    • diagnoses and removes the learning difficulties of students with appropriate strategies.

Hence, it could be concluded that in CCE, if one is a Summative evaluation, then the other evaluation is a "Formative evaluation".

A teaching method is a set of techniques logically coordinated to direct the student towards certain goals or objectives.
Explanation

• Brain Storming:
  • Brain Storming is a technique that involves generating s list of ideas in a creative and unstructured manner.
  • The goal of Brainstorming is to generate as many ideas as possible in a short period of time.
  • Brainstorming was founded by Alex F. Osborn as a brilliant counterattack on negative conference thinking.
  • This method assumes that the whole group can give more ideas than a person.
  • The purpose of brainstorming is to accumulate alternatives for any problem.

Other Related Points

• Discovery method: Discovery method is also known as the Heuristic method. The heuristic method is a method of teaching which involves our placing of children as for as possible in the attitude of discovery.
• Home assignment method: The home assignment method is a technique that comprises guided information, self-learning, writing skills, and report preparation among the learners.
• Project method: According to William Head Kilpatrick a project is a whole-hearted purposeful activity proceeding in a social environment.

Hence, we can conclude that Brain storming assumes that the whole group can give more ideas than a person.

Learner-centered or child-centered education (instruction):

• A child is the center of all the activities of learning, which may be curricular or co-curricular.
• The teacher will act as a facilitator, not a dictator( everything is a teacher).
• Instruction method means the teacher's way of teaching or instructing the children about what to do and how to do something, exploring things with curiosity, and doing things themselves.

Characteristics of learner-centers instruction:

• Learner-centered teaching methods shift the focus of activity from the teacher to the learners.
• The inductive method of teaching and learning is used (inductive method means giving example and then introducing the rule, known to unknown).
• A learner-centered approach views learners as active agents of society.
• Learner brings their own knowledge, past experiences, education, and ideas. This impacts how they take on board new information and learn. It differs significantly from a traditional instructor-centered approach.
• Teachers and students work as partners to get them both involved in the instruction and learning processes.
• In this course, you can acquire all the strategies, tips, and tools you need to shift your classroom to one that centers on the learner. This class will be learning by doing.
• Exploration of ideas and mistakes is also done by students.
• Overall a constructivist approach and learning environment are created
• Qualitative evaluation and assessment will be followed.
• A learning goal is more important than a performance test.
• The learner is the end and means of learning.
• Creativity is promoted.

Thus, we may say from the above discussion is that

• The learner is active in class
• Autonomy is mainly followed by the learner
• Participation and ideas learned will be welcomed even if its a mistake of the learner

But the less active and passive type of learner is not focused on the learner-centered instruction method.

Instruction is the complex process by which learners are provided with a deliberately designed environment to interact with, keeping in focus the pre-specified objective of bringing about specific desirable changes.
Explanation

• The most important role of the teacher is to be a good organizer. The students must know what they are expected to do. In case the student doesn‘t understand what s/he is supposed to do, there would be confusion and the activity would prove to be ineffective.
• By organization we mean all the stages of teaching-learning, such as instructions, demonstration (if need be), organizing group work, pair work, individual work, and then finally feedback to be taken from the students to see how well they‘ve assimilated the activity.
• In the above-mentioned situation, the teacher did not provide clear instruction on what they ought to do with the computer. If the teacher had given clear instructions, the students would have followed those instructions to meet those expectations.

From the above points, we can conclude that in the above-mentioned situation, the teacher did not provide clear instruction.

Group work serves as an important tool to make learning meaningful by working together. In groups, students work collaboratively and involve in active learning.

• Language Task is an approach that implies the idea that language learning takes place by using language meaningfully and contextually.
• It is an approach in which students use language to complete a task. In this approach, activities focus on having students use the authentic target language in order to complete meaningful tasks.

Explanation

• In the above-mentioned situation the teacher's purpose is to make her students develop understanding skills and to work efficiently with peers as Group work:
  • promotes peer learning and improves social interaction.
  • allows the collaboration and cooperation of maximum children.
  • enables students to present, share, and analyze their understanding.
  • makes students able to identify their weaknesses and strength by working collaboratively.

​Hence, it could be concluded that in the above-mentioned situation the teacher's purpose is to make her students develop understanding skills and to work efficiently with peers.
Other Related Points

• Role of the Teacher during Group task/work:
  • Selecting and arranging the group setting
  • Setting goals to be met by the group members
  • Ensuring active participation of all learners
  • Providing necessary materials and other resources
  • Supporting each student throughout the learning process (if required)
  • Observing and monitoring each student's understanding of the task
  • Evaluating each student’s performance based on how his/her performance.

Dictation has been regarded as a technique to train pupils to listen carefully, concentrate for the time being and retain what is being spoken, and reproduce it in good handwriting at a reasonable speed.
Explanation

• Running dictation is a language teaching activity that involves students working in pairs.
• One student runs to a piece of text (usually posted somewhere in the room), reads it, and then runs back to their partner and orally conveys the message.
• Their partner then writes down the message. The activity not only helps improve language skills, including reading, listening, speaking, and writing, but also incorporates movement, making it a dynamic and engaging learning experience.

Hence, it is clear that the above-mentioned activity is known as running dictation.
Hint

• Jigsaw dictation: This is a more complex activity where different students or groups of students get different pieces of a text, which they then dictate to each other to piece together the entire text.
• Dumb Charades, also known simply as charades, is a popular word-guessing game. It is often played in teams where one person mimics a word or phrase without speaking, while their team tries to guess what the word or phrase is.

Multilingualism is the ability to speak more than one language at a time. It refers to using the language of learners as a strategy in school.
Explanation

• Mother tongue-based multilingualism means learners begin their schooling in the mother tongue/home language and move on to add two or more languages later.
• It develops cognitive and reasoning skills to enable the child to operate equally in different languages. It is used as a resource to teach a new language to the child with the help of a mother tongue or other known language.
• Multilingual children are capable of greater cognitive flexibility and creativity and perform better academically than monolingual. It emphasizes the significance of a smooth transition between the home and school language.

Hence, it is clear that the above-mentioned language-in-education strategy is known as mother tongue-based multilingualism.

The correct answer is SQPR.
Explanation

• While trying to rearrange a sentence, we should try to find connections between parts and then eliminate the options accordingly.
• Part P has the adverb phrase 'for long' and ends with the conjunction 'and'.
• Whenever a part ends with a conjunction, it must join the next part with similar nouns, adjectives or verbs.
• Since part P uses an adverb, it must be referring to some verb. This means that the part after P must begin with a verb to join with 'and'.
• Only part R begins with the verb 'will continue'. So, PR must be the correct order.
• This order, when joined, gives- 'for long and will continue to be the same'.
• The order PR is only shown by option 2. It gives the full sequence as SQPR.

Thus, the rearranged sentence is: agriculture has been the backbone of India for long and will continue to be the same.

• The primary issue in the sentence is the use of the preposition "by" instead of "on."
• The correct preposition to use with "intrude" in this context is "on."
• The correct phrase should be "to intrude on," ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
• Thus, the error is located in part 2 of the sentence.

• The passage explicitly states that the INA's efforts were undermined by the Japanese surrender in 1945.
• Japanese support and resources were crucial for the INA's military campaigns, and their surrender significantly weakened the INA's position.
• With the Japanese surrender, the INA lost its main ally and support system, leading to their inability to sustain the efforts to free India from British rule.

• Option 1: Gandhi's death is not mentioned in the passage as a factor affecting the INA's efforts.
• Option 3: The passage mentions the psychological impact on the British forces, but not their inferiority in military tactics.
• Option 4: Lack of support is not highlighted as a reason for undermining the INA's efforts in the passage.
