Given statement refers to principles or standards of behaviour. So, it can be said to be a value. Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.

Soil moisture is a key variable of the climate system. It constrains plant transpiration and photosynthesis in several regions of the world, with consequent impacts on the water, energy and biogeochemical cycles. Natural, cyclical weather occurrences, such as El Niño events affect the likelihood of wildfires by affecting levels of precipitation and moisture and lead to year-by-year variability in the potential for drought and wildfires regionally. Nonetheless, because temperatures and precipitation levels are projected to alter further over the course of this century, the overall potential for wildfires is likely to increase as well.
It is now widely recognised that climate change and biodiversity are interconnected. Biodiversity is affected by climate change, with negative consequences for human well-being, but biodiversity, through the ecosystem services it supports, also makes an important contribution to both climate-change mitigation and adaptation. Groundwater is an integral part of the water cycle; any changes in our climate will have impact on groundwater.

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.

The most important thing a teacher needs to have within him/her is the knowledge of the subject. If he/she is well versed with the subject, he/she can definitely develop inter-personal relationships at the later stage. Tight handing of students cannot be the reason for failure. Verbal ability is also necessary but knowledge of the subject is more important at every stage of teaching.

• Researchers in general value creativity and originality.
• ICT tools that provide the most open situations with great autonomy to the researcher can really help in identifying and solving research problems in the most creative ways.
• ICT tools help to manage information, protect them, and maintain confidentiality using specific keys.

Therefore, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by hydropower i.e. the production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy.

Indian Industries Hit Hard by Globalisation:
There are several Indian industries that have been affected by globalisation, but the one industry that has been hit particularly hard is toy making.
Reasons for the impact:
- Increased competition: With the advent of globalisation, Indian toy manufacturers face tough competition from international players who are able to offer a wider range of products at competitive prices.
- Changing consumer preferences: Globalisation has exposed Indian consumers to a variety of imported toys, leading to a shift in their preferences towards these products.
- Quality and safety standards: International toys often adhere to higher quality and safety standards, making it difficult for Indian manufacturers to compete in terms of product quality.
- Lack of technological advancements: Many Indian toy manufacturers still rely on traditional manufacturing processes, while international competitors have embraced advanced technologies for production and design.
Consequences of globalisation on the toy making industry:
- Decline in domestic demand: As Indian consumers increasingly opt for imported toys, the demand for locally made toys has significantly decreased.
- Closure of small-scale manufacturers: Many small-scale toy manufacturers have been forced to shut down operations due to their inability to compete with larger international players.
- Job losses: The decline in the toy making industry has resulted in job losses for many workers, especially those employed in small-scale manufacturing units.
- Negative impact on the economy: The decline of the toy making industry has had a negative impact on the Indian economy in terms of reduced employment opportunities and revenue generation.
Overall, the toy making industry in India has been severely impacted by globalisation, leading to a decline in domestic demand, closure of small-scale manufacturers, job losses, and negative consequences for the economy.

Bandwidth can be defined as a range of frequencies or wavelengths in a band. Hertz is the unit to represent frequencies. Hence, bandwidth can be measured in hertz.

When some students are deliberately attempting to disturb the discipline of the class, the teacher should give them an opportunity for introspection and improve their behaviour. Students need to be taught that they are responsible for their own behavior. Teachers recognise negative behaviour instantly. Instead of calling it out immediately, teachers must try diverting the student, ignoring the behaviour and redirecting them to the task at hand.

Given:
The speed of the train =42 km/h
Formula used:
S = D/T 
Where, S= Speed, D= Distance, and T= Time
Let the length of the platform be Xm
According to the question
The speed of the train in 
The length of the train 
The length of the platform

The length of the platform = 280 m
∴ The required result will be 280m.

For finding the value of x, we first need to make RHS in the same format as LHS so that we can easily compare both.
first factorise 45 = 3² x 5¹
[3^(x-3)] 5^(x-4) = 45 = 3² (5¹)
On comparing both sides we get,
x-3 = 2 and x-4 = 1
By solving we get
=> x = 5
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Sense-organ according to classical Indian school of logic:

• Perception deals with five external sense organs, namely, the sense of sight (cakshuh) , sense of smell (ghrana) , sense of sound (srota) , sense of touch (tvak), and sense of taste (rasana) 
• These five sense organs respectively perceive the physical qualities of colour, smell, sound, touch, and taste in the objects.
• In Nyaya philosophy, For perceptual cognition, four elements are necessary.
• These are; the self, mind, sense organs, and objects.
• The self is in contact with the mind (manas), the mind is in contact with the sense organs, and lastly, the sense organs are in contact with the objects, as a result, we perceive objects. 
• Ordinary perception is further divided into two sorts; external (bāhya) and internal (mānas).

Given,
The average of twelve numbers =39
The average of the last five numbers =35
The average of the first four numbers =40
The fifth number is 6 less than the sixth number and 5 more than the seventh number.
As we know,
Sum = Average × total number
The Sum of the twelve numbers =12×39=468
The sum of the last five number =5×35=175
The sum of the first four number =4×40=160
The sum of the fifth, sixth and seventh number =(468−175−160)=133
Let, the fifth number is x.
Then, the sixth number is (x+6) and the seventh number is (x−5).

The fifth number is 44 and the sixth number is (44+6)=50
Average of fifth and sixth number 
∴ The average of fifth and sixth number is 47.
