SJVN Limited has commissioned India’s first multipurpose (heat and power) green hydrogen pilot project at the 1,500 MW Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station at Jhakri, Himachal Pradesh. The project will also generate electricity using green hydrogen and a 25 kW fuel cell.    

Let AB be the tower and let C and D be the two's positions men.
At that point ∠ACB = 30°,∠ADB = 45°and AB = 50 m
AC/AB = Cot30° = √3 => AC/50 = √3
=> AC = 50√3m
AD/AB = cot 45° = 1 => AD/50 = 1
=> AD = 50M.
Separation between the two men = CD = (AC + AD)
= (50√3 + 50) m = 50(√3 + 1)
=50(1.73 + 1)m = (50 * 2.73)m = 136.5m.

Preparing the family tree using the following symbol:

According to the given information,

Hence, Q is the grandmother of S.

Given, LCM = 225, HCF = 5,
First Number = 25 , Second Number = ?
We can find the Second Number with the help of given formula,
"LCM × HCF = 1st Number× 2nd Number"
⇒ 225 × 5 = 25 × 2nd Number

∴ 2nd Number = 45

Length of the rectangle = 5x
Breadth of the rectangle = 4x
5x × 4x = 320
x² = 16
x = 4
So the answer = 2 × (5x + 4x) = 2 × 9x = 2 × 9 × 4 = 72 cm
Hence, Option B is correct.

i) Rohit walked 30m towards South.
ii) Took a left turn and walked 50m
iii) Again he took a left turn and walked 30m.
Drawing the Diagram as per the given information:

AB = CD = 50m
Thus we can see he is 50m far from the starting point.
Hence, the correct answer is "50m".

Since the train travels at 60 kmph, it’s speed per minute is 1 km per minute. Hence, if it’s speed

ICT (Information and communication technology) mediated teaching-learning refers to instruction via a technological channel such as television, radio or a computer.

• It creates learning as the ability to retain, synthesize, and apply conceptually complex information in meaningful ways. It encourages learning by doing. It enhances the learning environment and requires students to develop critical thinking research and evaluation skills.

Key Points

Dillemans, et. al. (1998) have identified six basic dimensions of an ICT-mediated teaching learning-

1. Information modality: This dimension refers to the ability of the available technology in an ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment to transmit verbal and nonverbal information.
2. Linearity: This dimension talks about the technologies which can be used to transmit information in a linear as well as nonlinear way in the environment.
3. Type of interaction: An effective ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment facilitates all types of interactions human-human as well as human-machine interaction.
4. Number of participants: As per the availability of resources in an ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment, the number of participants in a session is also an important issue. It depends upon the technology in the institution as well as learners and teachers. Their interaction through ICT-mediated teaching learning can be one alone, one to many, and many to many.
5. Time/place dependency: It talks about the ability of the technology to transmit information at different times and places. It may be synchronous or asynchronous or both
6. Immediacy: In an ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment, the amount of time for sending a message and getting a response to this message is improving day by day with advancements in technologies and their convergence.

Hence, we conclude that according to Dillemans, et. al., there are six dimensions of an ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment.
