TS SET Paper 1 Mock Test - 10 - TS TET MCQ

0.082 + (7/10)² = 0.082 + 0.49 = 0.572
Option 3 is the answer.

Statement I: The localities along the major rivers of the country are worst affected by Arsenic contamination.

• According to the study conducted at the TERI School of Advanced Studies - a total of 40 districts in Uttar Pradesh are exposed to high concentrations of arsenic in groundwater.
• The majority of them are in the floodplains of the Ganga, Rapti, and Ghaghara rivers.
• It is estimated that nearly 108 countries are affected by arsenic contamination in groundwater (with concentrations beyond the maximum permissible limit of 10 ppb recommended by the World Health Organization.)
• The highest among these are from Asia and Europe, followed by regions like Africa, North America, South America, and Australia.

Hence, the statement I is correct.
Statement II: The major cause of arsenic contamination is the use of groundwater above the permissible level.

• The researchers have inferred that alluvial sediments are the major source of arsenic contamination in groundwater.
• People are exposed to elevated levels of inorganic arsenic through drinking contaminated water, using contaminated water in food preparation and irrigation of food crops, industrial processes, eating contaminated food and smoking tobacco.
• Long-term exposure to inorganic arsenic, mainly through drinking water and food, can lead to chronic arsenic poisoning. Skin lesions and skin cancer are the most characteristic effects.

Hence, statement II is also correct.

Convectional rainfall is very common in areas where the ground is heated by the hot sun. Due to high temperature, the atmospheric air gets heated and rises up. It cools down and precipitates while the cool air descends down to take place of the vaccum. Since the areas near the equator receive direct sun rays, it is quite hot, and hence the reason for Convection rainfall. So, the areas near the equator receive rainfall throughout the year.

By definition, encoding is the process of converting messages into sign language.

It is worthwhile to prepare the matter carefully. Use short sentences. Information should be conveyed in least possible words without leaving out anything important.

In a numerical aptitude test, male and female students perform equally. This is a null hypothesis. A null hypothesis is a hypothesis used in statistics to suggest that no statistic exists in a given set of observations or populations. Therefore, 'male and female students perform equally well in a numerical aptitude test.

Therefore, from the above explanation, it is clear that option (C) is the correct answer.

The correct answer is “Payment in excess of what is necessary to keep a factor of production in its present use.”

• Economic resurgence means when a country, group, or individual begins to earn as they did at their best years. Thus, the correct answer is option 'C'
• There is no evidence in the passage to accept options ‘A,’ ‘B’ and ‘D’ as the correct answers. 

So, the correct answer is “Payment in excess of what is necessary to keep a factor of production in its present use.”

Edutainment refers to video games, television programmes, or other material, intended to be both educational and entertaining.

Noise pollution is created if the sound is in excess to 80-99 dB.
Grades of ambient noise pollution are as follows according to noise pollution control and regulations Rules 2000;

• Industrial areas: 70-75 dB
• Commercial areas: 55-65 dB
• Residential areas: 45-55 dB
• Silence zone: 40-50 dB
• Indoor limit: <30 dB According to WHO

Noise greater than 75 dB over long exposure can cause hearing damage. Noise above 120 dB can cause biochemical changes in human bodies.

From A to B:
Speed = 60 km/hr
Time = 15 min = 1/4 hr
Distance = 60 × (1/4) km = 15 km
From B to C:
Speed = 90 km/hr
Time = 10 min = 1/6 hr
Distance = 90 × (1/6) km = 15 km
From A to C:
Total distance = 15 + 15 km = 30 km
Total time = 15 + 10 min = 25 min = 5/12 hr
Average distance = Total distance/Total time
=  km/hr = 72 km/hr

? = 
^{= 44.1 + 1.69 = 45.79}

10% of the total employees are in marketing and 7% in finance.
So, the number of employees in marketing and finance departments
= (10 + 7)% of 1800
= 306

Indian National Defence University is a dedicated first-of-its-kind institution for training and research in military studies. Indian National Defence University (INDU) is a national defence university of the Government of India at Binola village in Gurgram district of Haryana state.

First covert the given pie chart in the term of percentage-

Let the total number of employees = 100x
C type employees =32% of 100 x
= 32 x
F type employees = 14
= 14 x
According to the question,
32x - 14x = 18x = 126
⇒ x = 7
The required difference  = 14% of 100 x - 8% of 100 x = 6x
= 6 x 7 = 42

Students ask questions when they are inquisitive and motivated to learn more or go in depth of the subject. When the students feel interested in the subject, they try to satisfy their curiosity by asking more questions, and when the teacher is able to satisfy their curiosity, they feel more motivated to learn and reflect the teachings. A child's mind is full of questions, and whosoever satiates them becomes a favourite person. The teacher must try to answer the queries of the students, thus motivating them to learn more.

Droughts and floods are the most deadly natural phenomena. Volcanoes, wild fire and earthquakes might seem like the most dangerous natural hazards you could ever face, but floods and droughts actually kill more people over time.

Carbon dioxide is the gas, which is more responsible for global warming. Various factors like concentration in atmosphere, heat absorption and lifetime of the gas decide the contribution of a gas to global warming.
Of all the greenhouse gases, CO₂ has the highest concentration and also has a high heat absorption capacity. So, all climate change policies and discussions are around reduction of CO₂ and reducing carbon footprint.
The other gases like CO (Carbon monoxide) indirectly contribute to global warming by altering the amount of other greenhouse gases.

The term classroom discourse refers to the language that teachers and students use to communicate with each other in the classroom. Talking, or conversation, is the medium through which most teaching takes place, so the study of classroom discourse is the study of the process of face-to-face classroom teaching.

The computer is an electronic device which is used to store the data, as per given instructions it gives results quickly and accurately.
Characteristics of computer:- 
Speed: In general, no human being can compete to solving complex computation, faster than a computer. Computers work at an incredible speed. A powerful computer is capable of performing about 3-4 million simple instructions per second.
Accuracy: Since the computer is programmed, so whatever input we give it gives the result accurately. In addition to being fast, computers are also accurate. Errors that may occur can almost always be attributed to human error (inaccurate data, poorly designed system, or faulty instructions/programs written by the programmer).
Storage: The computer can store mass storage of data in the appropriate format. Today’s computers can store large volumes of data. A piece of information once recorded (or stored) in the computer, can never be forgotten and can be retrieved almost instantaneously.
Thus, speed, accuracy and storage are part of education through computers.

A deductive argument is said to be valid if the premises logically lead to the conclusion. A deductive argument is said to be sound if it is valid and has true premises. The conclusion of a sound deductive argument is necessarily true.

According to Charvaka, perception is held to be two kinds internal and external. External perception is done by external sense organs and internal perception is done by internal sense organs i.e. mind.

There is no evidence which can be documented for future reference. Therefore, recorded evidence is not a feature of grapevine communication.
There is no formal control over grapevine, so it is more flexible than other forms of communication. It is faster than any form of communication. Grapevine communication is spontaneous as it is passed automatically from the top level of the organisation to the bottom level, without any difficulty in delivering the message.

In line with the 73rd Amendment of the Constitution, Panchayati Raj institutions currently have 33% of all seats reserved for women.

In India, most central and state level universities have a titular head called Chancellor, who is either an eminent person appointed by the Government of India (in central universities) or provincial governor (in state universities). The de facto head of a university is the Vice-Chancellor, the highest paid official of the university. Hence, in university governance, Vice-Chancellor is the executive head.

The Academic Council is solely responsible for all academic matters, such as framing of academic policy, approval of courses, regulations and syllabi, etc. The Council will involve faculty at all levels and also experts from outside, including representatives of the university and the government. The decisions taken by the Academic Council will not be subject to any further ratification by the Academic Council or other statutory bodies of the university.

Fact-Based Questions and Lower-Order Questions are Content-Type Questions as they are based on the conventional mode of learning, recalling, and answering without evaluating or analyzing the questions.
1. Fact-Based Questions: Factual questions require fact-based answers. There is only one correct answer, which can be verified by referring to the text or other learning materials. For example, a learner may be asked to look at a passage, then answer a series of factual questions based on what they just read. 
2. Lower-Order Questions: Lower order questions are those that require "brief thought" and a basic amount of understanding of an already learned subject or area. These kinds of questions are meant to encourage students to recall or remember basic information.

On the Internet, @ (pronounced "at" or "at sign" or "address sign") is the symbol in an e-mail address that separates the name of the user from the user's Internet address, as in this hypothetical e-mail address example: msmuffet@tuffet.org.

In Western society women are treated as inferior to men, 'nature' is treated as inferior to 'culture', and humans are understood as being separate from, and often superior to, the natural environment.
Throughout our history nature is portrayed as feminine and women are often thought of as closer to nature than men. Women's physiological connection with birth and child care have partly led to this close association with nature.
Simply put, essentialists argue that that women, in essence, are more nurturing, peaceful, co-operative and closer to nature than men.
