The past two decades of globalisation has seen rapid movements in goods, services, and investments between countries.
- Globalisation refers to the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence of countries through the exchange of goods, services, and capital across borders.
- Over the past two decades, globalisation has accelerated, primarily driven by advancements in technology, transportation, and communication.

- The movement of goods refers to the exchange of physical products between countries, facilitated by international trade agreements and the reduction of trade barriers.
- The movement of services involves the cross-border provision of intangible products such as tourism, banking, consulting, and IT services.
- The movement of investments includes foreign direct investment (FDI) and portfolio investment, where capital is invested in businesses and financial assets in foreign countries.
- These movements have been facilitated by the liberalization of financial markets, the establishment of multinational corporations, and the emergence of global value chains.
- Globalisation has resulted in both opportunities and challenges for countries. On one hand, it has led to increased economic growth, job creation, and access to a wider range of goods and services. On the other hand, it has also contributed to income inequality, environmental degradation, and cultural homogenization.
- Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option B: goods, services, and investments between countries.

The correct answer is Thermosphere.

Key Points

The atmosphere consists of different layers with varying densities and temperatures. The column of the atmosphere is divided into five different layers depending upon the temperature condition.
They are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
The troposphere

• It is the lowest part of the Earth's atmosphere in which all tropical changes take place. It contains about 75% of the total air in the atmosphere.
• This layer contains dust particles and water vapor.
• All changes in climate and weather take place in this layer.
• This is the most important layer for all biological activity.
• The zone separating the troposphere from the stratosphere is known as the tropopause.
• The temperature here is nearly constant, and hence, it is called tropopause.

The stratosphere

• It is found above the tropopause and extends up to a height of 50 km.
• One important feature of the stratosphere is that it contains the ozone layer.
• This layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation and shields life on the earth from an intense, harmful form of energy.
• The stratopause caps the top of the stratosphere.

The mesosphere

• It lies above the stratosphere, which extends up to a height of 80 km.
• In this layer, once again, the temperature starts decreasing with the increase in altitude and reaches up to minus 100°C at a height of 80 km.
• The upper limit of the mesosphere is known as mesopause.

The thermosphere 

• It is located between 80 and 400 km above the mesopause.
• It contains electrically charged particles known as ions, and hence, it is also known as the ionosphere.
• Radio waves transmitted from the earth are reflected back to the earth by this layer.
• It contains Ions and helps in wireless communication
• The temperature here starts increasing with height.

The exosphere

• It is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere.
• This is the highest layer but very little is known about it.
• Whatever contents are there, these are extremely rarefied in this layer, and it gradually merges with outer space.

• The mega textile park is set to be built on a 1,052 acre site in E Kumaralingapuram in Virudhunagar District, close to the Chennai-Madurai-Kanyakumari national highway (NH-44), and is well connected to Thoothukudi seaport and Madurai airport.
• The proposed project site is owned by the State Industries Promotion Corporation (SIPCOT).

Additional Information

  • These seven sites are in Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
• The government has approved PM MITRA Parks in greenfield/brownfield sites with an outlay of Rs 4,445 crore for a period of seven years upto 2027-28.
• The PM MITRA Parks would help create world-class industrial infrastructure that would attract large-scale investment, including foreign  investment (FDI), and encourage innovation and job creation within the textile sector.
• These parks will enhance the competitiveness of the textiles industry by helping it achieve economies of scale as well as attract global players to manufacture in India.

Let AB be the post and AC be its shadow.
Let AB = X m. Then, AC = √3Xm.Let∠ACB = θ.
AB/AC = tanθ => tanθ = X/√3X = 1/√3 = tan30°.
∴ θ = 30°.
Hence, the point of rise is 30°.

i) √23

√23 = √23/1 = p/q, but p is not an integer.

Hence √23 is an irrational number.

ii) √256

√256 = 16/1 = p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Hence √225 is a rational number.

iii) 0.3796

0.3796 is a rational number because it is a terminating decimal number.

iv) 7.478478...

7.478478... is a rational number as it is a non-terminating recurring decimal i.e, the block of numbers 478 is repeating.

v) 1.101001000100001 . . . .

It is an irrational number because it is a non-terminating and non-recurring decimal.

Sundays → 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th (5 Sundays)

Hence, Option C is correct.

10 men = 20 women
Man : Woman = 2 : 1

Hence, Option B is correct.

⇒ (2/1000) × (5/10)

⇒ (10/10000)

⇒ (1/1000) = 0.001

∴ 0.002 x 0.5 = 0.001

Let the average age of all the 17 persons = X years
Age of 17th persons = X + 8 years 
16 × 60.50 + X + 8 = 17 × X
976 = 16X 
X = 61 
So the answer = 61 + 8 = 69 years
Hence, Option D is correct.

Given: Neptune, Planet, Moon

The logic followed here is: Neptune is a Planet, but Moon is not. Moon is a natural satellite.

Hence, option (4)  is the correct answer.

From Statement I: From this statement, we get the following inference:

As per the figure, Manas who is facing southwest, turns 135° anticlockwise. Thus, he will be facing East.

It is given that he would face the same direction as Tanya. Hence, Tanya will also be facing East.

Clearly, Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II: From this statement, we get the following inference:

As per the figure, Dinesh who is facing northeast, turns 90° clockwise. Thus, he will be facing southeast. Also, southeast is 180° to the direction of Tanya. Hence, Tanya will be facing northwest.

Clearly, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Therefore, the question can be answered using both statement I alone or statement II alone.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Checking Statement I:

Since there is no data given about Player and Champion, therefore, No player is Champion can not be derived.

Clearly, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking Statement II:

Statement II is the converse statement of the required conclusion.

Clearly, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option B is correct.

From the common explanation, we can say that there are at least 16 boys sitting in the row.
Hence, Option B is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
Only two boys sit to the left of J.
Eight boys sit between R and J.
Only three boys sit between R and M.
Inferences:
From the above references, we get two different cases:

References:
P sits fourth to the right of R.
O sits third to the left of M.
Inferences:
So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as P sits fourth to the right of R.

References:
Only three boys sit between O and H.
T sits third to the right of M.
V sits fourth to the right of O.
More than 12 boys sit between P and H.
More than seven boys sit between P and J.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the final arrangement:
