At least half of the members of the Commission are Civil Servants (working or retired) with minimum ten years of experience either in Central or State service. So, statement 2 is not correct.

Good 'research ethics' means assigning a particular research problem to one Ph.D./research student only. Avoiding wasteful and duplicative publication is one of the good research ethics.

Yes, it is rightly said that the leaners maturity level, academic performance and motivational disposition all have a big influence in the effectiveness of teaching aids and evaluation system in the following ways:
(i) If the maturity level of the learner is low to the extent of teacher employs teaching aid during his/her then it will hinder the effectiveness of teaching and learning and vice-versa.
(ii) If the learner is low or weak in his/her academic learning then it also hinders the effectiveness of teaching because a weak learner find himself/herself difficult to understand the teaching aid which influences the effectiveness of teaching.
(iii) Motivational nature or behavior of students also influences the effectiveness of teaching aid because if the learner is low motivated then he feels difficult to understand the teaching which is delivered with the helps of teaching aid and if a learner is highly motivated then he accepts the teaching through teaching aids easily.

Kyoto Protocol is what “operationalizes” the Convention. It commits industrialized countries to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions based on the principles of the Convention.

Let the present age of the elder person be x years.
Then, present age of the younger person = (x - 10) years
∵ (x - 15) = 2(x - 10 - 15)
⇒ x = 35
Therefore, the present age of the elder person is 35 years.

An operating system is a program that acts as a user-computer GUI (Graphical user interface). It controls the execution of all types of applications. The operating system performs the following functions in a device.

• Communication management acts as an interface between computer hardware components and the user. 
• The memory management module performs the task of allocation and de-allocation of memory space to programs in need of these resources. ​The need for memory management in OS is to allocate and de-allocate memory space to process in demand of resources or if they are running out of memory that leads to alerts called file system and disk space is high or full. The operating system can do resource allocation and prevent the system from overloading.
• Peripheral devices management is OS uses programs called device drivers to manage connections with peripherals. It handles the translation of requests between a device and a computer. defines where a process must put outgoing data before it can be sent, and where incoming messages will be stored when they are received.
• I/O System Management is one of the main objects of any OS is to hide the peculiarities of that hardware device from the user.
• Security module protects the data and information of a computer system against malware threats and authorized access.
• Command interpretation is a module is interpreting commands given by the acting system resources to process those commands.

A teacher who is not proficient in the local language or dialect will face semantic barrier in communication. Semantic barriers to communication are often caused by the use of different languages. Low proficiency in the local language will cause semantic barriers to communication in the classroom.
Semantic barriers, then, are obstacles in communication that distort the meaning of a message being sent. Miscommunications can arise due to different situations that form the semantic barrier between the sender and the receiver. These situations, to name a few, may be language, education, or cultural differences.

There are various teaching methods and approaches which make teaching-learning a fruitful process. To increase critical thinking skills, the project method is best.
Lecture cum demonstration method: It is one of the traditional methods used in teaching and it is also considered the "chalk and talk method". It is a teacher-centered method as the teacher plans, demonstrates the activity, and explains the principles and concepts involved in it. It can be used by the teachers for better results.
Project-based teaching-learning: It boosts their critical thinking skills as it brings real problems and issues occurring in day-to-day life. The student develops abilities such as investigative abilities, evaluation of his own knowledge, and structuring of new knowledge, which increases motivation and retention of information.
Thus, both the statements I and II are correct.

Given,
The employees recruited by company C = 250, 400, 350, 550 and 700.
The employees recruited by company D = 80, 250, 500, 450 and 550.
Concept Used:
Average = 
Calculation:
According to the question, we have
The total number of employees in company C = 250 + 400 + 350 + 550 + 700 =2250
The total number of employees in company D = 80 + 250 + 500 + 450 + 550 = 1830.
Now, The average number of employees recruited by company C and D is.
= (2250 + 1830)/5
= 4080/5
= 816
∴ The average number of employees recruited by companies C and D for all five years is 816.

According to the passage, 'Such critiques (critiques by third world scholars) spoke from a post‐colonial position, in which the self‐assumed authority of western feminists to speak about or indeed for others was disputed and decentered. From the above-mentioned statements, it is evident that the analytical frameworks of western feminists were critiqued by Third World scholars as they had to be repositioned in different contexts.'
Hence the correct option is (C).

In liberal arts education, the quadrivium consists of the four subjects or arts (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy) taught after the trivium.

Research is defined as careful consideration of study regarding a particular concern or problem using scientific methods. Correct sequence of research steps include: Selection of topic, review of literature, data collection, interpretation of findings

Assertion A: A teacher should try to collect as much information about the learners’ characteristics as he/she can.

• A teacher should try to collect as much information about the learners’ characteristics as he/she can.
• Information needs to be collected about the previous knowledge, learning styles, cognitive styles, motivation and interests.
• A teacher should accept the fact that no two individuals are alike and thus cannot be treated in the same manner.

Thus, A is correct.

• Reason R: This helps in modifying instructions as per the needs of the students.
• In order to cater to the individual differences among learners and to avoid monotony, a variety of methods and media should be used by the teacher.
• This helps in modifying instructions as per the needs of the students.

​Thus, R is correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Kolb's learning style is explained on the basis of two dimensions: they are how a person understands and processes the information. This perceived information is then classified as concrete experience or abstract conceptualization and processed information as active experimentation or reflective observation.

• Diverging: Individuals of this kind of learning style look at things from a different perspective. 
• Assimilating: People of this kind of learning style prefer good clear information, they can logically format the given information and explore analytic models. 
• Converging: Converging type of learners solve problems. They apply their learning to practical issues. Also, they prefer technical tasks, and they experiment with new ideas.
• Accommodating: Individuals with this kind of learning style prefer to do things practically. They are attracted to new challenges and solve problems intuitively. The learning characteristics are concrete experience and active experimentation.

Therefore, the cyclic order is Diverging ⇒ Assimilating ⇒ Converging ⇒ Accommodating.
