The correct answer is Parsec.

CONCEPT:

Parsec:

• It is a unit for expressing distances to stars and galaxies, used by professional astronomers. Hence statement 1 is correct.
• It represents the distance at which the radius of Earth’s orbit subtends an angle of one second of arc. Thus, a star at a distance of one parsec would have a parallax of one second, and the distance of an object in parsecs is the reciprocal of its parallax in seconds of arc.
• For example, the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri triple-star system, has a parallax of 0.769 seconds of arc, and, hence, its distance from the Sun and Earth is 1.30 parsec.
• One parsec equals 3.26 light-years, which is equivalent to 3.09 × 10¹³ km (1.92 × 10¹³ miles).

Additional Information

Angstrom:

• It is a unit of length, equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters, or 0.1 nanometers.
• It is used chiefly in measuring wavelengths of light. (Visible light stretches from 4000 to 7000 Å.)

Candela:

• The candela, symbol cd, is the SI unit of luminous intensity in a given direction.

Nanometer:

• A nanometer is a unit of measurement for length just as you have with meters and centimeters.
• A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, 0.000000001 or 10^-9 meters.

Behavioral assessment refers to assessing and measuring various constituents of behavior that are indicative of why a certain behavior occurs and what causes that behavior. These would include overt behaviors, feelings, and cognitions and their controlling variables that could be both from within the individual and outside of the individual. The behavioral assessment focuses on what a person does rather than on what a person has or is.

Important Points

Evaluation techniques like observation, interview, case study, and portfolio are quite useful for assessing the behavioral traits of the student. For that, tool like observation schedule, interview schedule, checklist, rating scale, and questionnaire can be used.

Interview:

• The interview is one of the oldest and most widely used methods of collecting information about persons.
• In the interview, the pulmonologist obtains information from the person being evaluated by asking relevant questions and listening to answers.
• The interviewer and respondent engage in a face-to-face dialogue to achieve a specific goal. In fact, how an interview is conducted depends on the particular objective or goal in question.

Observation:

• Observation has been defined as “the selection, provocation, recording, and encoding that set of behaviors and setting/s concerning an organism ‘in situ’ which is consistent with empirical aims”.
• Literally, Observation is a process of ‘seeing’ the things or events with the naked eye with or without the use of any device to unravel the complexity of any phenomena to satisfy the demands of an empirical question.
• Observation is a way of gathering data by watching behavior, events, or noting physical characteristics in their natural settings.
• Observations can be overt (everyone knows they are being observed) or covert (no one knows they are being observed and the observer is concealed).

Situational test:

• A situational test is a kind of compromise between a standardized test and observational methods of assessing personality.
• Personality traits are measured based on observations of ratings of what a person thinks and does in a given situation, which resembles a real situation of everyday life.
• The subject has usually no idea that he is being studied.
• The situation represented by such tests is a social situation having opportunities for interaction with other individuals and specially designed to emphasize those aspects of personality which are under study.
• The first situational test of personality was developed by the United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II to screen out men for military several reassignments. Situational tests are more suited to the measurement of traits like leadership, dominance, responsibility, extroversion-introversion, and the like.
• Sometimes these tests utilize directly observable units of behavior as the basis of assessment of the traits. Such situational tests are called behavioral tests because they are directly concerned with observable behavior. For instance, honesty, self-control, and cooperation are such traits, related to character.

Additional Information

The Sentence Completion Test is a well-known projective test In the sentence completion test, verbal material is Assessment of Personality used. Various incomplete sentences are given to the subject to complete them.
Some of the incomplete sentences are like the example given below:
I feel very …….,
I wish my mother….
The subject is asked to complete the sentence the way he/she desires.

Hence, we can say that the Sentence Completion Test is a well-known projective test not a test for behavioral analysis for the assessment of personality.

John Dewey has been one of the most influential educational thinkers of modern times. His educational philosophy has been referred to as Pragmatism, Experimentalism, Functionalism, Instrumentalism, Operationalism, Practicalism, and Progressivism.

• Dewey has proposed the concept of 'Progressive Education' which emphasizes that learning takes place through 'hands-on' approach so the students must interact with their environment to adapt and learn.
• Dewey had a specific idea regarding how education should take place within the classroom. He criticized the undue importance given to the curriculum, which leads to the inactivity of the student in the entire process of learning.

Key PointsProgressive Education:

• In Progressive Education, students thrive in an environment where they are allowed to experience and interact with the curriculum, and all students avail the opportunity to take part in their own learning.
• Content is presented in a way that allows the student to relate the information to prior experiences, thus deepening the connection with this new knowledge. Dewey advocated for an
• the educational structure that strikes a balance between delivering knowledge while also taking into account the interests and experiences of the student.
• Progressive Education is a continuous process of adjustment, having as its aim at every stage an added capacity of growth.’ He advocated the importance of education not only as a place to gain content knowledge, but also as a place to learn how to live.
• The experience of the child occupies the central place in this method of learning; ‘all learning must come as a by-product of actions’ child learns through participation in various activities.

Hence, it could be concluded that the above-mentioned phenomenon could be attributed to progressive education.

Additional Information

• Inclusive Education means education for all children in school as It refers to the inclusion of all children in the education system, regardless of their differences and disabilities.
• Integrated education: It emphasizes the placement of children with disabilities in mainstream schools. The school system remains rigid and as a result, very few children with disabilities are able to cope with the demands of such a rigid system.
• Special education: It is instruction designed for students with disabilities or gifts and talents, who also have special learning needs. Some of these students have difficulties in formal institutions so they need special education provisions to function in their classrooms.

Thinking is the base of all cognitive activities or processes and is unique to human beings. It involves the manipulation and analysis of information received from the environment.

• There are different kinds of thinking styles which include creative, logical, concrete thinking, etc. Creative thinking aims at novelty in the first instance rather than truth.
• It necessarily has to be different from the conventional modes of thinking. It is labeled in psychology as divergent thinking which refers to a way of solving problems by more than one approach.

Key Points

Some of the ways to promote creative thinking are:

• Asking students to raise questions instead of requiring them to answer questions teachers pose
• Asking students to observe the everyday world around them and raise questions about it
• Asking them to identify suitable problems. where they can apply their knowledge
• Adopting the discovery model of teaching wherever this is possible, offering successive clues to the answer to orient them to lateral thinking

Hence, it could be concluded that asking students to observe the everyday world around them and raise questions about it should be followed by teacher to foster creative thinking.

Hint

• Lateral thinking: Edward de Bono who originated the concept of lateral thinking says that it is made of a set of specific techniques that promote creative problem-solving. It is the generation of alternative ways of looking at the same phenomenon or problem.

Inclusive education means, a system of education, wherein students with and without disabilities learn together, and the system of teaching and learning is suitably adapted to meet the learning needs of different types of students with disabilities.

Key Points Features of inclusive education -

• Inclusion is about increasing the participation of all children and adults while removing the exclusion, discrimination, and barriers to learning and participation.
• Inclusion views differences between children, and adults as resources for learning and makes education flexible for all.
• It is about supporting schools to become more responsive to the diversity of children’s backgrounds, interests, experiences, knowledge, and skills.
• Inclusion involves developing mutually sustaining relationships between schools and their surrounding communities. It leads to an understanding of how progress can be achieved when people join their actions together.

Hence, it is concluded that rote memorization is not a feature of inclusive education.

The correct answer is Friday.

Key Points

How to find the Exact day?

• 15th August, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1.1.1947 to 15.8.1947)
• Odd days in 1600 years = 0
• Odd days in 300 years = (5 × 3)=15=1
• Odd days in 46 years = (11 leap years + 35 ordinary years)
• = (11× 2 +35 × 1) odd days = 57 odd days
• =(8 weeks + 1 day) = 1 odd day.
• Hence, Odd days in 1946 years = (0+1+1) = 2.
• Jan.Feb.March April May June July Aug.
  • (31+28+31+30+31+30+31+15)=227 days.
• 227 days=(32 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days.
• The total number of odd days = (2+3) = 5.
• Hence, the required day is Friday.

Level 3 of Kohlberg's theory of moral development is called Post conventional Morality, At this level of moral development, people develop an understanding of abstract principles of morality. In this stage, moral behavior in children is completely under internal control. This is the highest level of morality.
Important Points
The two stages at this level are:

1. Stage 5 (Social Contract and Individual Rights): This stage is a stage of social contract and individual rights.
   • In this stage people do what they think is right or the rules they agree on. If they find something wrong in the established rules, then that rule can also be changed.​
   • So, it is the law that people consent to. We all have obligations to work through the agreed structure and to get the law, which appears wrong, changed. When injustice is committed, it is best to work through the system to end it.
   • For example- if a person steals medicine to save his child's life, it will be seen here that saving life is important here.
2. Stage 6 (Universal Principles): Kohlberg’s final level of moral reasoning is based on universal ethical principles and abstract reasoning. At this stage, people follow these internalized principles of justice, even if they conflict with laws and rules.

Additional Information
Refer to the table to be familiar with all the levels of Kohlberg's theory.
Kohlberg has three levels of moral development. Each level has two stages.

First, the theory of moral development was given by Jean Piaget, then Kohlberg gave his theory of moral development by further expanding Piaget's theory of moral development. Kohlberg's theory of moral development suffers from gender bias because it was used only on boys, for which Carol Gilligan criticized them.

Hence, we can conclude that Level 3 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is The Himalayas.

Key Points

The Himalayas:

• The Indian peninsula is separated from mainland Asia by the Himalayas.
• The Himalayan Mountains are part of India’s northern mountain range.
• They are the world’s tallest mountain ranges.
• These mountain ranges begin at Pamir Knot in the west and continue to Purvanchal in the east.
• The Himalayas are the result of the Indian and Eurasian plates colliding.
• It is the youngest and most highly unstable landmass in India.
• Tectonic movements are very common in the Himalayas.
• The ranges are separated by deep valleys creating a highly dissected topography.

• Himalayas between Tibet and Ganga Plain is a succession of three parallel ranges.

The correct answer is The weight of a body in an elevator moving downwards decreases while its Mass remains the same.

Key Points

• This force exerted by the scale is known as apparent weight.
• When the lift accelerates and decelerates the force that the cables and motors exert on the lift is either added to or subtracted from, the force with which the floor of the lift pushes up on you.
  • This is what makes the body feel heavier and lighter.
• Consider the normal force (N) acting on the body (mass = m) from the elevator:
  • If the elevator is at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
    • N = mg
  • If the elevator has an upward acceleration (a).
    • N = mg + ma
  • If the elevator has a downward acceleration (a).
    • N = mg - ma
• When a lift accelerates downwards at the same rate as gravity (9.81 m/s²) the body would feel weightless.
• When a lift accelerates upwards at the same rate as gravity (9.81 m/s²) the body would feel twice weighed as much.

1) 10, 13, 44, 11, 41 – C, H, A, W, S

Hence, S is the correct answer.

We will check each option one by one, so as to find out which option satisfies the given equation.

1) - and ÷

14 ÷ 7 × 5 - 3 + 2 = 1

On interchanging,

= 14 - 7 × 5 ÷ 3 + 2

= 14 - 7 × 1.66 + 2

= 14 - 11.62 + 2

= 2.38 + 2

= 4.38 which is not equal to 1

2) - and +

14 ÷ 7 × 5 - 3 + 2 = 1

On interchanging,

= 14 ÷ 7 × 5 + 3 - 2

= 2 × 5 + 3 - 2

= 10 + 3 - 2

= 13 - 2

= 11 which is not equal to 1

3) × and +

14 ÷ 7 × 5 - 3 + 2 = 1

On interchanging,

= 14 ÷ 7 + 5 - 3 × 2

= 2 + 5 - 6

= 7 - 6

= 1

So, option 3 satisfies the equation.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
