The correct answer is Khelo India Rising Talent Identification

In News

• The KIRTI program was inaugurated in Chandigarh with the aim of identifying and nurturing sporting talent from every corner of the country.

Key Points

• The program has two main objectives: scouting talent and using sports as a tool to deter addiction to drugs and other distractions.
• KIRTI made its debut across 50 centers in India, with 50,000 applicants being assessed in the first phase across 10 sports, including athletics, boxing, wrestling, hockey, football, and wrestling.
• The program aims to conduct 20 lakh assessments throughout the year to identify talent through notified Talent Assessment Centers.
• Shri Thakur emphasized the importance of starting sports training early and mentioned the government's goal to make India a top 10 sports nation by 2036 and among the top five by 2047.
• KIRTI's selection methodology is transparent and based on Information Technology, utilizing data analytics and Artificial Intelligence to predict sporting potential.
• The program requires collaboration with National Sports Federations and state governments. The government has already invested Rs 3000 Crore in infrastructure and established over 1000 Khelo India Centers across the country.

The correct answer is ‘beyond’.

Key Points

• The context indicates the surge and deficit tally surpassed what was expected, thus surprising economists.
• The term 'rude shock' suggests something surprising or unexpected, hence 'beyond' fits perfectly, capturing the idea that the surge and deficit tally exceeded expectations.
• Options such as 'below', 'meeting', 'in line with', or 'undermining' do not correctly represent the unexpected and high nature of the surge and deficit tally mentioned in the passage.
• Complete Sentence: But this surge, and the deficit tally, was beyond expectations, with economists describing it as ‘a rude shock’ thanks to ‘idiosyncratic’ effects.

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Option 3’.

Additional Information

• Option 1, "below", implies that the surge and deficit tally were less than expectations, which contradicts the passage.
• Option 2, "meeting", and option 4, "in line with", suggest that the surge and tally matched expectations rather than exceeding them.
• Option 5, "undermining", doesn't fit well in the context as it's typically used to suggest diminishing or devaluing something. It does not convey the surprising high level of the surge and deficit tally.

Calculation:

Let the number of females visiting both cities be 2x

So, Number of males visiting both cities = 2x × 150% = 3x

Females visiting B only = 2x × 4 = 8x

Males visiting A only = 4 × 3x = 12x

Females visiting A only = 36

Males visiting B only = 16

Now, According to the question

12x + 16 + 3x = 36 + 8x + 2x

⇒ 15x + 16 = 36 + 10x

⇒ 5x = 20

⇒ x = 4

Now, Putting the values in table

∴ Number of females visiting only B is 32

Let no. of qualified man in 2018 and 2020 = a
Let no. of qualified woman in 2018 and 2020 3b and 7b respectively.
Then, a + 3b = 288 ----(1)
And a + 7b = 576 ----(2)
From (1) and (2) b = 72
No. of qualified woman candidate in 2018 and 2020 together
= 72(3 + 7) = 720

Calculation:

No. of qualified man in 2017

No. of qualified man in 2019

No. of appeared candidates in 2017 =

No. of appeared candidates in 2019

Required %
∴ The required percentage is

No. of men candidates who qualified in 2020

No. of man who qualified in 2017

Total no. of appeared candidates who qualified in 2017

Total no. of appeared candidates in 2017

Given: Eight persons join a company on two particular dates of four different months in the same year.

Combining the given conditions, we get the following possibilities as follows-

1. Only two persons joined the company before Jos. Jonny joined the company on the 21^st of the month which has 31 days. This gives rise to the following cases-

2. Charles didn’t join the company in the month of April or July. No one joined the company after Marcus. Adding these two conditions to the above two cases we get-

3. Jonny didn’t join the company in the months of July and November. Only two persons join the company in between Jos and Carlos. Charles and Marcus, who are twin brothers, joined the company in the same month. Combining these conditions, we see that Case 2 and Case 3 from the above are eliminated. Hence, we get-

4. Xander and Carlos joined the company in the same month. Patrick joined the company immediately before Xander. Combining these two conditions, we get the final table as follows-

From the above final table, we see that Xander and Carlos join the company in the month of July.

Hence, Carlos joined the company in July.

Given: Eight persons join a company on two particular dates of four different months in the same year.

Combining the given conditions, we get the following possibilities as follows-

1. Only two persons joined the company before Jos. Jonny joined the company on the 21st of the month which has 31 days. This gives rise to the following cases-

2. Charles didn’t join the company in the month of April or July. No one joined the company after Marcus. Adding these two conditions to the above two cases we get-

3. Jonny didn’t join the company in the months of July and November. Only two persons join the company in between Jos and Carlos. Charles and Marcus, who are twin brothers, joined the company in the same month. Combining these conditions, we see that Case 2 and Case 3 from the above are eliminated. Hence, we get-

4. Xander and Carlos joined the company in the same month. Patrick joined the company immediately before Xander. Combining these two conditions, we get the final table as follows-

Hence, CARLOS is the correct answer.

Given:-

Nine items - Perfume, Watch, Raincoat, Coffee, Charger, Purse, Notebook, Racquet, and Knife

Let the first item purchased be numbered 1 and the last item purchased be numbered 9.

Now,

1) The number of items purchased before the Purse is less than the number of items purchased after the Purse. It means at least 5 items were purchased after Purse. So Purse can be numbered 1, 2, 3, or 4.

2) More than three items were purchased after Raincoat. It means Raincoat cannot be numbered 6, 7, 8, and 9.

3) Only two items were purchased between Raincoat and Purse.

So the possibilities are -

4) The Perfume was purchased before Raincoat. So, Raincoat was not the first item to be purchased. We cannot place Perfume yet.

The possible cases are -

5) More than one item was purchased between the Purse and Charger. It means Charger was purchased after Raincoat in both cases.

6) The Perfume was purchased before Charger but not immediately before. So, Perfume was purchased before Raincoat and Charger.

We can place Perfume as follows:

7) Charger was purchased before Racquet.

8) The Knife was purchased before Notebook but after Racquet.

So, the sequence will be Raincoat > Charger > Racquet > Knife > Notebook.

8) Coffee was purchased immediately before Watch. This is possible only in Case II (a).

So, the final arrangement is:

The Perfume was the first item to be purchased.

Hence, the correct answer is Perfume.

The correct answer is 'E' i.e. No error.

Key Points

• In the given sentence, there is no error in any part of the sentence.
• The given sentence is the first conditional sentence talking about a thing that might happen in the future.
• We can't know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come true.
• The first conditional sentence format: if + present simple, ... will + infinitive.
• When using the first conditional, we use the present simple (here, have) in the if-clause and the future simple (here, will buy) in the main clause.
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 5.

Correct sentence: If I have enough money, I will buy some chocolates.

The correct answer is 'C' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the third part of the given sentence, the use of the base form of the verb 'translate' is incorrect.
• The given sentence is a passive voice in the present perfect tense as it links the past to the present in some way.
• The present perfect tense refers to an action or state that either occurred at an indefinite time in the past or began in the past and continued to the present time.
• The present perfect tense in a passive voice is formed by have/has + been + the past participle (here, it should be translated).
• The subject 'books' of the sentence is plural and it will take the plural verb 'have'.
• Therefore, the past participle form of the verb 'translated' should be used in place of the base form of the verb 'translate'.
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Correct sentence: Her books have been translated into 24 languages.

We need to join the sentence segments in column 1 with those in column 2 to create sentences that are conceptually and grammatically correct. Let us see how the sentence parts can join.

• Part A talks about a lesson. So contextually, it should be joined with the part that talks about learning, i.e. part F. But 'learning' is a present participle here, while we need a verb in the present tense to follow the infinitive marker 'to'. That is, it would have been grammatically correct if it was 'learn' and not 'learning'. Hence, A and F cannot be joined grammatically.
• Part B talks about how power foods can be enjoyed. So, contextually, it should be joined with part E which states more ways through which they can be enjoyed. So, B-E.
• Part C talks about advice given by cartoonists and so should be joined with part D that completes the advice being given. So, C-D.

In the given options, the correct answers B-E and C-D are reflected in option 3, making it the correct answer.

The correct answer is 'Only C'.

Key Points

• Parody means- a piece of writing, speech, or music that copies the style of somebody/something in a funny way.
• In Sentence A, the meaning of parody is understandable. "It includes some brilliant parodies."
• In Sentence B, the meaning of parody is understandable here too. "He had become a grotesque parody of himself and the gallery, at last, began to avert its eyes"
• In Sentence C, the meaning of parody is not being portrayed properly. Here, it is giving another meaning to the sentence.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Calculation:

x² – 29x + 204 = 0

⇒ x² – 17x – 12x + 204 = 0

⇒ x (x - 17) – 12(x - 17) = 0

⇒ (x - 17) (x - 12) = 0

⇒ x = 17, 12

2y² – 43y + 176 = 0

⇒ 2y² – 32y – 11y + 176 = 0

⇒ 2y ( y - 16) – 11 ( y - 16) = 0

⇒ (2y - 11) (y - 16) = 0

⇒ y = 11/2, 16

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):

∴ The relation between x and y cannot determined.

Given:

I. 4x² – 17x + 15 = 0

II. 3y² + 13y - 38 = 0

Calculation:

From I,

4x² – 17x + 15 = 0

⇒ 4x² – 12x - 5x + 15 = 0

⇒ 4x(x - 3) - 5(x - 3) = 0

⇒ (x - 3)(4x - 5) = 0

Taking,

⇒ (x - 3) = 0 or (4x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = 3 or (5/4)

From II,

3y² + 13y - 38 = 0

⇒ 3y² + 19y - 6y - 38 = 0

⇒ y(3y + 19) - 2(3y + 19) = 0

⇒ (y - 2)(3y + 19) = 0

Taking,

⇒ (y - 2) = 0 or (3y + 19) = 0

⇒ y = 2 or (-19/3)

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):

∴ x = y or relation between x and y can not be established.

Key Points

Pre-order of above tree = 12453

In order of above tree = 42513

Postorder of above tree = 45231

And the given Post order is BCEAD

Hence B=4, C=5, E=2, A=3, D=1

The labels of nodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = {D, E, A, B, C}

Hence the correct answer is DEABC.

The correct answer is digital shadow.

The digital shadows reflect the activity of any person on the internet and their behaviors towards the information on the internet.

Important Points

• The digital footprint is generated and used with or without user knowledge. It includes websites we visited, emails sent by users, any information submitted by users on the online platform, and the computer’s address, location, and other device-specific details.
• There are two types of digital footprint: Active Digital Footprint and Passive Digital Footprint.
• Active Digital Footprint: There are two kinds of digital footprints users leave behind. Active digital footprints include data that users intentionally submit online. This would include emails the users write or responses or posts users make on different websites or mobile Apps, etc.
• Passive Digital Footprint: The digital data trail users leave online unintentionally is called passive digital footprints. This includes the data generated when users visit a website, use a mobile app, browse the Internet, etc.
• Everyone who is connected to the Internet may have a digital footprint. With more usage, the trail grows. By examining the browser settings, Users can find out how it stores our browsing history, cookies, passwords, auto fills, and many other types of data.

The correct answer is option 2.

Concept:

DISTINCT Clause:

By default, SQL shows all the data retrieved through query as output. However, there can be duplicate values. The SELECT statement when combined with DISTINCT clause, returns records without repetition (distinct records).

Explanation:

Query:

SELECT DISTINCT Student_Income FROM student;

The above query prints the distinct student incomes from given relation student. So it five different income prints like below as output.

Student_Income

80k

50k

100k

60k

90k

Hence the correct answer is 5.

SHA-1 was designed by the United States National Security Agency and is a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard.

In cryptography, SHA-1 is a cryptographic hash function which takes an input and produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value known as a message digest.

It is represented in hexadecimal number which will be 40 digits, that is, 40 × 4 = 160 bits because each hexadecimal value takes 4 bits.

Notes:

SHA-1 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 1

Real-timeTransport Control Protocol (RTCP):

• RTCP is a sister protocol of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)
• The primary function of RTCP is to provide feedback on the quality of service (QoS) in media distribution by periodically sending statistics information such as transmitted octet and packet counts, packet loss, packet delay variation, and round-trip delay time to participants in a streaming multimedia session

Concept

Quick Sort is a Divide and Conquer algorithm. It picks an element as a pivot and partitions the given array.

If pivot element divides the array into two equal half in such a scenario, quick sort takes the least time sort, that is, best case time complexity.

The best case complexity of QuickSort is O(nlogn)

Additional Information

Answer: Option 1

Concept:

ACID Properties:

A transaction in a database system must maintain Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability − commonly known as ACID properties − in order to ensure accuracy, completeness, and data integrity.

Atomicity − This property states that a transaction must be treated as an atomic unit, that is, either all its operations are executed or none.There are no partial transactions

Consistency − The database must remain in a consistent state after any transaction. No transaction should have any adverse effect on the data residing in the database.

Isolation − In a database system where more than one transaction is being executed simultaneously and in parallel, the property of isolation states that all the transactions will be carried out and executed as if it is the only transaction in the system.

Durability − The database should be durable enough to hold all its latest updates even if the system fails or restarts.

The correct answer is option 3.

Concept:

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that connects computers within a specific geographic area, such as a home, school, research lab, college campus, or office complex.

Local Area Network form network of the computers which are in the range of 100 m to the 2-kilometer radius.

Hence the correct answer is 100 m to 2 km.

Key Points

str1 = ‘All the Best’

Here str1 is an array of continuous elements,

str1[0]=A=str1[-0]

str1[1]=l=str1[-11]

str1[2]=l=str1[-10]

str1[3]=' '=str1[-9]

str1[4]=t=str1[-8]

str1[5]=h=str1[-7]

str1[6]=e=str1[-6]

str1[7]=' '=str1[-5]

str1[8]=B=str1[-4]

str1[9]=e=str1[-3]

str1[10]=s=str1[-2]

str1[11]=t=str1[-1]

Hence the correct answer is 'e'.

Given f(0) = 2 ; f(1) = m ;f(4) = 88

f(2) = 2*f(1) + 4*f(0) ≡ 2*m+8

f(2) = 2m + 8

f(3) = 2*f(2) + 4*f(1) ≡ 2(2m+8) + 4m

f(3) = 8m + 16

f(4) = 2*f(3) + 4*f(2) ≡ 2(8m + 16) + 4*(2m+8)

88 = 16m+32+8m+32

88 = 24m+64

88-64 = 24m

1 = m

m = 1

The correct answer is option 3.

Concept:

Conditional Operator in C:

The ternary operator is another name for the conditional operator. Conditional statements are decision-making statements that are based on the expression's outcome. The symbols '?' and ':' are used to represent it. As a conditional operator works on three operands, it is also known as the ternary operator. The behavior of the conditional operator is similar to the 'if-else' statement as the 'if-else' statement is also a decision-making statement.

Syntax:

Expression1? expression2: expression3;

The given expression is,

(2 ? 3 : 4) + 8/4/2;

Here 2 is true So it will give the expression1.

(True? 3: 4) +8/4/2;

3+8/4/2; (/ is left to right associativity so (8/4) / 2 =1)

3+1;

So it gives the 4 as the result.

Hence the correct answer is 4.

The correct answer is option 5.

Concept:

Count():

It takes one set of values and gives one output. The COUNT() function returns the number of records returned by a select query.

Note: NULL values are not counted.

Syntax:

COUNT(expression)

Explanation:

The given table is,

Consider the following student relation.

Student relation has Name, Subject1, and Subject2 attributes.

Query1:

Select count (*)

From student;

Explanation:

The query1 has count(*) prints the number of rows that are not null. Here no complete row is null. So it prints the 6 as output.

Query2:

Select count (10)

From student;

Explanation:

Note:

Count(constant) prints the number of rows in a relation.

The query2 has count(10) prints the number of rows that are not null. Here no complete row is null. So it prints the 6 as output.

Hence the correct answer is Q1=Q2.
