About UNDP

• Headquarters - New York, United States
• Administrator - Achim Steiner
• Member Countries - 170 (Oct-2020)

Key Points
GDP:

• GDP’s full form is Gross Domestic Product is evaluated regularly to account for changing production structure, relative prices, and better recording of economic activities.
• Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total money value of final goods and services produced in the economic territories of a country in a given year.Hence, statement 1 is not correct.
• Non-monetary goods and services (e.g. cooking by housewife) are not included in GDP calculation.Hence, statement 2 is not correct .
• Economic transactions virtually include everything economic in the country. For e.g., if a stockbroker sells and purchases the same stock worth Rs. 1000 five times in a day, it does not increase the GDP of the country by Rs. 5000.
• Economic transactions may also include buying and selling of bonds, FII inflows, and outflows, etc.Hence, statement 3 is not correct .
• GDP includes the value of all goods and services produced within a country within a year.

None of the above is the correct answer.
Key Points

• The ultimate aim of MII is to transform India into global design and manufacturing hub.
• Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade under Ministry of Commerce and Industry is the nodal agency for its implementation.
• It was launched on 25th September, 2014.

Objectives of MII are as follows:

• Raise manufacturing sector growth to 12-14 % per year.
• Create 100 million additional jobs in manufacturing sector by 2022.
• Increase in the manufacturing sector’s share in the GDP to 25% by 2022.
• Rise in domestic value addition and technological depth in manufacturing sector.

The correct answer is Larsen & Toubro Ltd.

• Larsen & Toubro Ltd. (L&T)has delivered the first hardware, a booster segment for Gaganyaan Launch Vehicle to ISRO.
• The segment was produced at L&T’s Powai Aerospace Manufacturing Facility, in Mumbai meeting the enhanced quality and timeline requirements for India’s maiden manned mission.
• “L&T is playing a vital role in powering ISRO’s Human Space Flight Program (HSFP).

The correct answer is Option 4 , i.e. Neither 1 nor 2 follows.

The correct answer is option 4. Neither of the two conclusions follows. From the statement, it is clear 15th June is a deadline only for interest-free loans. But booking will continue even afterward. And even loans will be given, though on interest.

Thus, the correct answer is option 4.

Least possible Venn diagram of above statements:

Conclusion:
I. No crocodile is a fish → True (as all fish are tortoise no tortoise is a crocodile)
II. No fish is a crocodile → True (as all fish are tortoise no tortoise is a crocodile)
Hence, Both conclusions I & II follows.

The logic is:

Thus, the odd one is "GHIM".

The pattern for the code is as follows:-

Similarly,

Hence, PINKU will be written as RHKFM.

The pattern followed here is as follows:
In column 2 → 36 + 27 = 63
In column 3 → 44 + 29 = 73
In column 1 → ? + 41 = 53
? = 53 - 41
? = 12
Hence, the correct answer is 12.

The correct answer is Radon.

• In the modern periodic table ,group 18 belongs to noble gases.
• This group of a series of gases includes:
  • Argon. Helium, Neon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon.
• Radon is the only radioactive out of all and it's also not present in the Atmosphere .

Important Points

• Their outer shell of valence electrons is considered to be "full", giving them little tendency to participate in chemical reactions, so they are considered the most stable elements of the periodic table.
• Noble gases are also known as inert and rare gases.
• Neon, argon, krypton, and xenon are obtained from air in an air separation unit using the methods of liquefaction of gases and fractional distillation.
• Helium is sourced from natural gas fields that have high concentrations of helium in natural gas, using cryogenic gas separation techniques.
• Radon is usually isolated from the radioactive decay of dissolved radium, thorium, or uranium compounds. 

 Key Points

• Nobel gases are odourless, non-flammable, colourless, and monoatomic gas with low chemical reactivity.
• All noble gases are insoluble in water.
• Nobel gases conduct electricity and fluorescence which can be needed in many conditions to maintain a constant and safe environment.
• They have a complete octet that makes them very stable, so they hardly react with other elements. Xenon is the only noble gas that may form compounds either with fluoride or oxide.

 Additional Information

• Noble gases have several important applications in industries such as lighting, welding, and space exploration.
• Helium-oxygen breathing gas is often used by deep-sea divers at depths of seawater over 55 m (180 ft).
• After the risks caused by the flammability of hydrogen became apparent, it was replaced with helium in blimps and balloons.

The correct answer is Dioptre.
Concept
Power  is the ability to bend light and it is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens/mirror in meters.
Power (P) = 1/f
Where f is the focal length of the lens/mirror.

Explanation:
The SI unit of the focal length is meter (m).
So the SI unit of power = 1/(SI unit of focal length) = m^-1  = Dioptre (D).
1 m^-1  = 1 D

1. The Watt is the SI unit for power for energy consumption.
2. The SI unit of the power of a lens is given by Dioptre. 
3. Candela is the SI unit for the luminous intensity of an object.
4. The centimeter measures the distance. 
5. SI unit of distance is meter.

Trick:
AB/AC = BD/CD = 8/9
BD + CD = 14 → 25
BD = 100/7 cm

In Detailed
If AD is bisector of ∠A then
From interior angle bisector theorem
AB/AC = BD/CD
= CD/BD ​= 8/6 ​= 4x/3x​
BD + CD = 25 cm
⇒ 4x + 3x = 25
⇒ x = 25/7 cm
BD = 25/7 x 4 = 100/7 cm

Given:

The given data,

8, 7, 1, 1, 6, 9, 7, 4, 3, 7, and 6

Concept used:

Mode is the most repeated value in a data

If the total number of observations (n) is an odd number,

Median = (n +1)/2 ^th term

If the total number of observations (n) is an even number,

Median = {(n/2) ^th term + [(n/2) + 1] ^th term}/2

Calculations:

Arranging the values in ্

1, 1, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 9

The most repeated term,

Mode = 7

Median = (11 + 1)/2 ^th term

⇒ 12/2 ^th term

⇒ 6 ^th term

⇒ 6

∴ The mode and median is 7 and 6 respectively

Key Points

• This is an example of  an assertive sentence with a  present continuous tense.
• The subject of the sentence is 'Sidhi'.
• The object of the sentence is ' 'Gulliver's Travels''.
• It will be changed into the  passive voice as under:
  • The sentence will start with the object ''Gulliver's Travels'' to make it assertive.
  • The subject will be put in the place of the object and the object will be put in the place of the subject.
  • 'is reading' will be changed into ' is being read' .

Thus, the correct sentence would be Gulliver's Travels is being read by Sidhi.
Mistake Points
We tend to mark options three or four but it would be wrong because 'Gulliver's Travels' is a book anda singular verb should be used along with the subject book.  Whereas,  'are'  and ' were'  are plural verbs so it would make the sentence wrong.

Key Points

• In  Active Voice , a sentence emphasizes the subject, performing an action.
• In  Passive Voice , a sentence emphasizes the action or the object of the sentence.
• The  given sentence  is in the  active voice  and ' We ' is the  subject  and 'on last Sunday ' is the  object .
• When we convert this sentence into  passive voice , the subject ' We ' of the active voice  becomes  the  object as 'us' , the object 'on last Sunday'  becomes  the  subject .
• The passive format " Was + V3 " should be used.
• Thisis theactive and passive voice  rule  for the  past simple tense.
• Hence , the correct answer is  option 2 .

Additional Information
Verbs of passive format have a different set of tenses (*V3 - Past participle or Third form of the Verb) as given below in the table:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

स्पष्टीकरण:-

‘सम्’ उपसर्ग समानता, निरंतरता, अच्छी तरह, समक्षता, संगति, शोभा, उत्कृष्टता आदि अर्थों में प्रयोग होता है। ‘सम्’ उपसर्ग से बनने वाला शब्द सम्प्रेषण, सम्बन्ध तथा संलाप है।

‘सुमुखी’ शब्द में ‘सु’ उपसर्ग लगा है। ‘सु’ उपसर्ग से बनने वाले अन्य शब्द - सुलभ, सुगम, सुदूर, सुकर्म, सुकृत इत्यादी।

Key Points
While changing the narration of a declarative sentence , follow these steps-

• Omit all the inverted commas and exclamation marks.
• If the verb is in the present tense, change it to the  past tense.
• If the verb is in the past tense, change it to the  past perfect tense.

So, the correct answer is  option 2.
Mistake Points

• We may think that option 3 is the answer as it is also in the past tense but option 3 uses 'be' which is incorrect .
• Carefully read the options before choosing the answer.

The correct answer is 'Our teacher thinks Rahul is a Newton'.
Key Points

• The indefinite article 'a' or 'an' should be used before a proper noun when it is used as a common noun .
  • Example: My sister is a Hitler.
  • Here, the word ' Hitler ' is a proper noun but used as a common noun .
• The name 'Newton' is used here to refer to Rahul's intelligence. It is used as a common noun.
• Clearly, option 2) is the correct sentence.

Important Points

• Proper noun: Proper noun is the name which is used to denote a specific person, place or object.
  • Example: Joy is the next participant .
• Common noun: It is a general or generic name which is used to denote a class or group, person or a place.
  • Example: Acat was chasing the rat.

Additional Information

 An  article  is a word which is usually written before a noun. It defines the noun as specific or non specific .

• The words ' a', ' an ' and ' the ' are  articles .
• The  articles  are divided in  two  types:  Definite and Indefinite .
• Definite article: ' The ' is a definite article which is used to refer to a specific object.
  • Example: I will buy the dress.
• Indefinite article: 'A' and' an' are indefinite articles and used to refer to a' non specific' object.
  • Example: It is a book.
    This is an apple .

विशेष:
‘मुहावरे’ का अर्थ बोलचाल की भाषा में सांकेतिक रूप से किसी भाव को प्रकट करना होता है। जैसे- तिनके का सहारा, तीन-पांच करना आदि।

The correct answer is preposition.
Key Points
Let's look at the definitions given below:

• common noun-  the generic name for a person, place, or thing in a class or group.
• adjective-  a word that modifies a noun or noun phrase or describes its referent.
• preposition-  a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun, connecting it to another word.
• adverb of time-  describes when an action happens.

The given word 'beside' means  at the side of, next to. It falls under the category of prepositio ns.
Hence the  3rd option  will be the correct choice.

Additional Information
There is a difference between the words 'besides' and 'beside':

• besides (adverb)-  in addition to; also.
• beside (preposition)-  at the side of, next to.

Key Points

• 'untidy' starts with a vowel sound.
• 'an' comes before the words starting with vowel sound

Important Points

• Indefinite article 'A' is used before general, singular nouns that begin with a consonant sound. 
  Example: I saw a lion.
• Indefinite article 'An' is used before general, singular nouns that begin with a vowel sound. 
  Example: I saw an owl. 
• Definite article 'The' is used before specific, known nouns, both singular and plural. 
  Example: The lions were sleeping. 

Additional Information
Sometimes an article modifies a noun that is also modified by an adjective. The usual word order is article + adjective + noun. If the article is indefinite, choose a or an based on the word that immediately follows it. Consider the following examples for reference:
Examples: 
Eliza will bring a small gift to Sophie’s party.
I heard an interesting story yesterday.
Thus, the complete sentence is: She is an  untidy girl.
