HTET PRT Mock Test - 5 - HTET MCQ

Lying and stealing are common, but inappropriate, behaviors in school-aged children. While some severe forms of these behaviors can indicate a more serious psychological problem, most of the time it is simply a common behavior that will be outgrown.
During the school years, stealing may be a sign of a problem, but it may also be a result of peer pressure and the need for the child to fit in. It is important to look at the whole situation and address it accordingly.

Preference to one sex over the other is called gender bias. Here the school prefers girls for the competition, thereby reflecting gender bias.

For Vygotsky, although biological factors constitute the necessary pre-requisite for elementary processes to emerge, socio-cultural factors are indispensable for elementary natural processes to develop. He argues for the uniqueness of the social milieu and regards socio-cultural settings as the primary and determining factor in the development of higher forms of human mental activity such as voluntary attention, intentional memory, logical thought, planning, and problem solving.

Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.

Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence is also known as three forms of intelligence propounded by Robert Sternberg, who was a prominent figure in the research of human intelligence. The theory explains the basic information processing components consist of three facets:

• Componential-Analytical Subtheory
• Experiential-Creative Subtheory
• Practical-Contextual Subtheory

Hence, the correct answer is, 'Practical Intelligence.'

Piaget described cognitive development through different stages based on the internal development of the child, whereas Vygotsky provided a sociocultural perspective on cognitive development. He attempted to establish the relationship between the child's development and the sociocultural context in which the child is situated.

Questions are an aid in the learning process and hence questioning skill is one of the important teaching skills required to be developed to conduct a classroom session successfully by a teacher.

"Keep one’s cool" means to stay calm and composed in a difficult or stressful situation. The sentence is about how it is difficult for most people who become nervous during a conflict to remain calm, making "keep their cool" the most suitable idiom to replace the underline part of the sentence.
"Break a leg" is an idiom used to wish someone good luck,
"let the cat out of the bag" means to reveal a secret, and "hit the nail on the head" means to accurately identify or solve a problem.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Hence, Option B is correct.

If 12, 21, 72, 126 are in proportion, then:

In a proportion, the product of the first and fourth terms is equal to the product of the second and third terms.
So, let's check each option:
(i) 12×21=72×126 → This is not true.
(ii) 12×72=21×126 → This is not true.
(iii) 12×126=21×72 → This is true.
(iv) None of these → We already found a true statement in option (c).

Sum of decimal places = 7.
Since the last digit to the extreme right will be zero (since 5 x 4 = 20), so there will be 6 significant digits to the right of the decimal point.

The All four part of the the figure is identical. So after folding the 2 times of the figure, it will become figure like option C.

Hence, option A is correct.

The correct answer is Agroha.

• Maharaja Agrasen was a Vaish King of the Solar Dynasty who adopted Vanika Dharma for the benefit of his people.
  • Literally, Agrawal means the “Children of Agrasen” or the “People of Agroha”, a city in ancient Kuru Panchala, near Hisar in the Haryana region said to be founded by Maharaja Agrasen.

Key Points

• Agrasen was a great Indian king of the merchant city of Agroha.
  • He is a descendant of Kush, son of Lord Rama and was born in the 35th generation after Lord Rama.
  • He is credited with founding the kingdom of merchants named Agroha in northern India and is known for his compassion in refusing to kill animals in yagyas.

Additional Information

• History of Haryana:
  • The history of Haryana is very proud and it starts from the Vedic period.
  • This state is believed to be the birthplace of the mythological Bharata dynasty, after which the country got its name, Bharat.
  • Haryana has been discussed in our great epic Mahabharata. Before becoming the capital of India, it became a part of the history of India with the arrival of Muslims and the capital of India of Delhi and remained anonymous until the First War of Independence in 1857.
  • Their territories were either merged with the British territories or handed over to the rulers of Patiala, Nabha and Jind.
  • After the reorganization of Punjab on November 1, 1966, Haryana became a complete one.

The correct answer is Hisar.

Key Points

• Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Station is located at Khedar in the Hisar district of Haryana.

Required cloth = (2.5×25)m=62.50m.

• The triangle BOC is an isosceles triangle with sides OB and OC both being equal as they are the radii of the circle. Hence, the angle OBC = angle OCB = 30°.
• Hence, the third angle of the triangle BOC i.e. Angle BOC would be equal to 120°.
  ⇒ BOC = AOD = 120° 
• Also, in the isosceles triangle DOA: 
  Angle ODA = Angle DAO = x = 30°

Between 5 and 78:
First number = 6
Last number = 72

Hence, Option D is correct.

Since √2 and √5 both are irrational number therefore  is an irrational number.

As per question, we have,
p = ab² = a × b × b
q = a³b = a × a × a × b
So, their Least Common Multiple (LCM) = a³ × b²

Hydrological Cycle

• The process of circulation of water within the hydrosphere of Earth in different forms such as liquid, solid and gaseous states are called the Hydrological Cycle of water.
• It starts with the Evaporation of water from the surface of the water bodies and further, it includes Transpiration, Sublimation, Condensation and Precipitation.

Key Points

'Hydrological cycle' steps

• The first step of the water cycle is evaporation from water bodies means the part of the Hydrosphere.
• The second step of the water cycle is condensation, which takes place in the atmosphere.
• The third step of the water cycle is precipitation and runoff means the part of the lithosphere.
• The final step of the water cycle is in the Biosphere. 
• It is the zone where all the spheres interact and work together.
• It includes processes like water uptake and transpiration by plants.

​

Thus, in the 'Hydrological cycle' the order of the source in which they connected from each other is first Hydrosphere, second Atmosphere, third Lithosphere and fourth Biosphere.

Additional Information

Processes during a hydrological cycle:

​​Evaporation

• When waters convert from liquid to gas stage as it moves from the groundwater into the atmosphere, this phenomenon is called Evaporation.
• Mainly Solar radiation is the source of energy for evaporation. 

Transpiration

• When plant uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapour by leaves is known as transpiration.

Condensation

• The Process of conversion of water vapour to liquid water droplets in the air is called Condensation.
• It is responsible for the formation of fog and clouds.

​Precipitation

• When the condensed water vapour falling to the surface of the Earth is known as Precipitation.
• It occurs in the form of rain, snow, and hail.
• It provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the earth in the form of rain.

The Correct Answer is Option (3) i.e. Nitrogen Oxides.

• The two most common and hazardous oxides of nitrogen are nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide.
• The oxides of nitrogen are the major pollutants of air pollution and global warming.
• Soil pollution refers to the contamination of the soil with anomalous concentrations of toxic substances.
• The different types of pollutants that are found in contaminated soil are given below :
  • Hydrocarbons - 42%
  • Heavy Metals - 31%
  • Mineral Oil - 20%
  • Other - 7%

Waste management in India is done under Environment Protection Act, 1986. Violations of the law can result in imprisonment upto 5 years and/or fine up to Rs. 1,00,000.

Additional Information

Environment Protection Act, 1986

• The environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 along with the Environment Protection Rules 1986 amended in 1999.
• The Environmental Protection Act (EPA) of 1986 is umbrella legislation with wide legislative coverage.
• It gives wide powers to the central government to take all such measures as it deems necessary or expedient for the purpose of protecting and improving the quality of the environment. Such measures include laying down standards for environmental quality, restricting areas of industrial operations, laying down procedures for handling hazardous substances, etc.
• The central government can close down offending industries and restrict the setting up of new industries at environmentally non-compatible sites.
• The Environment Rules of 1986 lay down procedures for the setting of emission and discharge standards.
• This Act empowers the Union Government to take direct action against defaulters.
• A host of notifications have been enacted under the EPA, such as those on Environmental Impact Assessment and Coastal Regulation Zones. 

Concept:

• Supersonic speed: An object moving with a speed greater than the speed of sound is said to move with a supersonic speed.
  • Generally, a bullet fired from a gun and aircraft moves with supersonic speed. 
  • The speed of sound is about 768 miles per hour (1,236 kilometers per hour) at sea level.
• Supersonic speeds are described by their "Mach number".
• Mach number: The ratio of the speed of the object to the speed of sound in the air of the same temperature and density is called Mach number.
  • Supersonic includes speeds up to five times faster than the speed of sound, or Mach 5.

Explanation:

• When the speed of any object exceeds the speed of sound, it is said to be traveling at Supersonic speed. So option 2 is correct.

Extra Points:

• Subsonic has a speed of less than 0.8 Mach.
• Hypersonic may have a speed between 5-10 Mach.

The correct answer is carbon.

Key Points

• A fullerene is an allotrope of carbon whose molecule consists of carbon atoms connected by single and double bonds so as to form a closed or partially closed mesh, with fused rings of five to seven atoms.
  • The molecule may be a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, or many other shapes and sizes.
• Various allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite, lonsdaleite, fullerene, C-540, C-70, amorphous carbon, carbon nanotube.
• Diamond and crystalline silicon are isomorphous because they both have a three-dimensional tetrahedral structure.
• Allotropy, the existence of a chemical element in two or more forms, which may differ in the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids or in the occurrence of molecules that contain different numbers of atoms.

Additional Information

• When an element exists in more than one crystalline form, those forms are called allotropes; the two most common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite.
  • One of the allotropic form of a carbon is a fullerene in which “carbon atoms” are “arranged in a sphere”.
  • Each sphere has 60 carbon atoms and each carbon atom is linked by a single covalent.
  • The fullerene is considered as purest allotrope of “carbon” because they have “smooth structure” without having dangling bonds.
