A continuous variable is a variable that has an infinite number of possible values. In other words, any value is possible for the variable. A continuous variable is the opposite of a discrete variable, which can only take on a certain number of values. Attitude cannot be measured, hence, it cannot have any possible value. Therefore, it is not a continuous variable.

Argument I is weak because it is not relevant to context. Argument II is strong because it gives a 'valid' reason that supports the question of giving importance to other sports than cricket only. So, option (2) is the correct answer.

Public communication tends to occur within a more formal and structured setting. In public communication, one person is designated the speaker, and rest are cast in the complementary role of listeners, or audience members.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication language or protocol of the internet. So, it is necessary to connect to the internet.

A - IV, B - III, C - I, D - II

Physical barrier: 

1. A physical barrier is an environmental and natural condition that acts as a barrier in communication in sending a message from sender to receiver. 
2. Noise, an overload of information, an overabundance of information, distance, time, invisibility, ill-health, etc.
3. When messages are sent by the sender, physical barriers like doors, walls, distance, etc. do not let the communication become effective. The barriers are less if the proximity of the sender and the receiver is high and fewer technologies are required.

Language barrier:

1. A language barrier is a figurative phrase used primarily to refer to linguistic barriers to communication, i.e. the difficulties in communication experienced by people or groups originally speaking different languages, or even dialects in some cases. 
2. Dialect, language disability, verbalism.
3. Verbalism means concentration on forms of expression rather than content.

Technical barrier: 

• Technology has helped reduce and even overcome distance, allowing people to share information without needing to meet in real life.
• But, there's more to physical barriers than distance.
• Physical barriers to digital communication include other environmental conditions like time, place, and medium.

Psychological barrier:

• The Psychological or Emotional Barriers refer to the psychological state i.e. Opinions, attitudes, status consciousness, emotions, Pre-disposed notions, etc. of a person that deeply affects the ability to communicate.

Social and Cultural barrier: 

• Socio-cultural barriers are man-made constructs originating from social norms and cultural values.
• They have mainly an adverse impact on information seeking by restricting access to information sources and giving rise to negative emotions.
• Social stereotypes may be defined as beliefs that various traits or acts are characteristic of particular social groups.

Therefore the correct option is A-IV, B - III, C - I, D - II

The Professional courses are such that give professional degrees to the students enabling them to practice that profession as a career. These are Medicines, Law etc.
The Academic courses are of the like arts and commerce.

Action research:

• The term 'Action research' first coined by Kurt Lewin in 1944 and described in his paper "Action Research and Minority Problems" published in 1946.
• According to Lewin, "a comparative research on the conditions and effects of various forms of social action and research leading to social action" that uses "a spiral of steps, each of which is composed of a circle of planning, action, and fact-finding about the result of the action".
• Action research is participatory in nature. It means ‘learning by doing’.
• It generates democratic impulse, simultaneous contribution to social science (knowledge), and social change (practice).
• For example, research on the educational situation, as well as the practitioner of education, undergo a change for the better.

Therefore, Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Given:
Product of 2 numbers = 1280
HCF = Square of the smallest composite number
Formula Used:
Composite Number: Composite numbers are those numbers that have more than two factors. 
Product of 2 number = HCF × LCM
HCF = Square of the smallest composite number
4 is the smallest composite number.
⇒ (4)² = 4 × 4 = 16
Product of 2 number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 1280 = 16 × LCM
⇒ LCM = 1280 ÷ 16
∴ LCM = 80

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses):

• The first MOOCs that emerged from the open educational resources (OER) movement was started by the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge) Open Course Ware project.
• During the OER movement, the Wikiversity (Wikimedia foundation project to support learning) was found in 2006 and the first open course on the platform was organized in 2007.
• There are two types of MOOCs, 
  • cMOOCs: based on constructivists pedagogy
  • xMOOCs: it is a traditional approach
• MOOCs Guidelines have been issued by the MHRD vide its orders dated 11th March 2016 and subsequent addendums issued by the MHRD.
• MOOCs are online courses available to anyone with a computer and Internet connection. 

So, ICT support is implied in this method.

The National Literacy Mission (NLM) is a nationwide program started by Government of India in 1988 with the approval of the Cabinet as an independent and autonomous wing of the Ministry of HRD (the then Department of Education). It aims to educate 80 million adults in the age group of 15–35 over an eighty-year period. By "literacy", the NLM means not only learning how to read, write and count but also helping people understand why they are deprived and helping them move towards change.

Given: HPU = 9 and JNU = 9
DU = ?
In the alphabetical order,
H = 8
P = 16
U = 21
(H + P + U = 8 + 16 + 21 = 45)
45 divided by 5 gives 9.
Now,
J = 10
N = 14
U = 21
(J + N + U = 10 + 14 + 21 = 45)
45 divided by 5 gives 9.
Similarly,
D = 4
U = 21
(D + U = 4 + 21 = 25)
25 divided by 5 gives 5.
Therefore, the answer is 5.

Explanation:

• Context:- The question is about the steps that need to be taken to make India a developed nation. 
• The answer can be inferred from the following line from the passage, "Without a pervasive use of technologies, we cannot achieve the overall development of our people in the years to come". Here, "we" in the sentence has been used for the people of India. Clearly, Envisioning developed India requires the development of core technological strengths. 

As we know that,
Chi-square: Produces a value that reflects the relationship between expected and observed frequencies. For example, the results of tossing a fair coin meet these criteria.
T-test: Is used to determine the significance between group means. A t-test is a type of inferential statistic used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of two groups, which may be related in certain features.
ANOVA: A procedure to decompose variation into two or more independent variables. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is an analysis tool used in statistics that splits an observed aggregate variability found inside a data set into two parts: systematic factors and random factors.
Multiple Regression: Analyses the relationship between two or more independent variables and a single dependent variable. Multiple regression is a statistical technique that can be used to analyze the relationship between a single dependent variable and several independent variables.
So, the correct matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III).

“Anumana (inference) is the process of ascertaining, not by perception or direct observation, but through the instrumentality or medium of a mark, that a thing possesses a certain character”.

Blended learning is an education program (formal or informal) that combines online digital media with traditional classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some element of student control over time, place, path or pace.

Total marks in all the subjects = 75 + 100 + 75 + 75 + 120 = 445
Marks obtained by Sohan in all the subjects = 50 + 78 + 70 + 58 + 88 = 344
Required % = (344/445) x 100 = 77.3%

Teachers are one of the most influential and powerful forces for equity, access and quality in education and key to sustainable global development. However, their training, recruitment, retention, status and working conditions remain preoccupying. Moreover, there is a worldwide shortage of well-trained teachers.
UNESCO has made the supply of well-trained, supported and qualified teachers one of its top priorities. This focus has been reinforced by Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education through the Education 2030 Framework for Action, which has a target calling for a substantial increase in qualified teachers through the betterment of their training, recruitment, retention, status, working conditions and motivation.
The professional requirement of a teacher as explained in the UNESCO publication are mastery over the subject and competency for teaching, innovativeness in approach and teaching strategies and justice to the profession.

According to the line given in the passage, Happiness is priceless and not dependent upon the wealth of a person.

Those teachers are popular among students who help them solve their problems. Successful problem solvers presumably use information, procedures, and more general notions that have been acquired via past experiences and training.

Student 1 marks in History than in Geography = 0.65
= (65/100)
= (5/13)
Student 2 marks in history than in geography = 0.85
= (85/100)
= 17/20
Student 3 marks in history than in geography = 0.35
= (35/100)
= (7/20)
Student 4 marks in history than in geography = 1.25
= (125/100)
= 5/4
Student 5 marks in history than in geography = 1.40
= (140/100) = 7/5
Student 6 marks in history than in geography = 0.95
= (95/100)
= 19/20
Student 7 marks in history than in geography = 1.55

= 31/20
∴ Students got less marks in History than in Geography is 1, 2, 3, 6.

India has the third largest Higher Education System in the world, after the US and China, according to the World Bank. However, in terms of expenditure per student as well as per teacher, India falls behind. The country has 907 universities and 50,000 higher education institutions with enrollment of 33 million students.
In the last decade, access to higher education has improved as more IITs, IIMs and central and state-level universities have been established. However, this proliferation has also raised concerns about an imbalance between excellence and inclusion.
