The Earth is divided into four main layers: the solid crust on the outside, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

Key Points

Interior of the Earth:

Crust:

• The uppermost layer over the earth’s surface is called the crust.
• It is the thinnest of all the layers.
• On the continental masses, It is about 35 km and on the ocean floors, only 5 km.
• The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth and it amounts to less than 1% of our planet's volume.
• The earth is made up of several concentric layers with one inside another, just like an onion.
• The crust is the outermost layer of Earth and is made up of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
• The Earth's crust is unstable because of the exogenic forces.

Mantle:

• The Mantle extends up to a depth of 2900 km below the crust.
• It is the widest section of the Earth.
• The uppermost part of the mantle is known as the asthenosphere.

Core:

• The innermost layer is the core with a radius of about 3500 km.
• The central core has a very high temperature and pressure.
• The inner core (1200 km) is in the solid-state whereas the outer core (2300 km) is in the liquid state.
• The innermost layer is the core with a radius of about 3500 km and divided into Inner and Outer core.

So it is clear that the crust is the thinner most layer of the earth.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.

Important Points

Discontinuity:

• All those layers are separated from each other through a transition zone.
• These transition zones are called discontinuities.
• Conrad Discontinuity: It lies between the Upper crust and Lower crust.
• Mohorovicic Discontinuity: It lies between crust and mantle.
• Repiti Discontinuity: It lies between the Upper mantle and Lower mantle.
• Gutenberg Discontinuity: It lies between core and mantle.
• Lehman Discontinuity: It lies between the upper core and lower core.​

The logic followed here is:

Each letter of the first group is moved three steps backward to obtain the corresponding letter of the second group.

According to this XER is matched with UBO.

Hence, "UBO" is correct.

Given Codes:

FRAME - 53972

BOOK - 4881

Thus, the code for the word 'MORE' will be:

Hence, "7832" is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is:

Similarly,

Hence, “UCPQGU” is the correct answer.

The logic is :

1) 59 is a prime number.

2) 69 is not a prime number.

3) 79 is a prime number.

4) 89 is a prime number.

All numbers except '69' are prime numbers, while '69' is a composite number.

Hence, '69' is the odd one out.

We can see from the given figure that, the question figure can be found only in the option 4 figure.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

Given:

HCF = 35

LCM = 525

A whole number = 105

Formula used:

HCF × LCM = First number × Second number

Calculation:

35 × 525 = 105 × second number

⇒ Second number = (35 × 525)/105

⇒ Second number = 175

∴ The second whole number is 175 .

Given:

There is a total of 3 numbers.

The first is twice the second and the second is thrice of the third

The average of the three numbers is 200

Calculation:

Let the third number be x.

Then 1st and 2nd number becomes 6x and 3x

Sum of all three numbers = 3 × 200 = 600

⇒ 3x + x + 6x = 600

⇒ 10x = 600

⇒ x = 60

Required sum = 6x + 3x

⇒ 6x + 3x = (6 × 60) + (3 × 60)

⇒ 360 + 180 = 540

∴ The sum of the first and second numbers is 540.

Given:

Diameter of spheres = 4 cm and 8 cm

External radius of hollow sphere = 5 cm

Formula Used:

The volume of sphere = (4/3) × π × r³

Volume of hollow sphere = (4/3) × π × (R₁³ – R₂³)

Where,

r → Radius of the sphere

R₁ → External Radius of the sphere

R₂ → Internal Radius of the sphere

Calculation:

Total volume of melted sphere = (4/3) × π × 2³ + (4/3) × π × 4³

⇒ (4/3) × π × (8 + 64)

⇒ (4/3) × π × 72

Let the internal radius of the hollow sphere be x

Volume of hollow sphere = (4/3) × π × (R13 – R23)

⇒ (4/3) × π × 72 = (4/3) × π × (5³ – x³)

⇒ 72 = 125 – x³

⇒ x³ = 125 – 72

⇒ x³ = 53

⇒ x = (53)^1/3 cm

∴ The internal radius of hollow sphere is (53)^1/3 cm

The correct answer is: Dilate.

Key Points

• The word "Constrict" means to make narrower by binding or squeezing; it implies a tightening or reduction in diameter. (संकुचित)
  • Example: The snake constricted its prey, making it impossible for the prey to escape.
• "Dilate" refers to making something wider, larger, or more open; it is the process of expansion or enlargement in diameter. (फैलाना)
  • Example: The doctor used eye drops to dilate the patient's pupils for the examination.
• Hence, we can infer that the opposite of 'Constrict' is 'Dilate'.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Dilate.

The correct answer is '(c)'.

Key Points

• The error lies in Part (c) of the sentence.
• The noun 'ground' is a general description of the surface of the earth, the thing that you stand on when you walk outside.
  • Example: The sun dries the moisture on the ground.
• The noun 'floor' is the man-made surface that you stand on when you are inside a building.

• It is mentioned that "Because we cannot tickle ourselves and have caused laughter, Darwin speculated surprise from another person touching a sensitive spot must have caused laughter."
• We are surprised when another person touches a sensitive spot while tickling and that is what causes laughter. Hence, only option 1 is correct.
