• Xylem transport water and minerals.
• Xylem tissues are tubular shape structure.
• Xylem fibres are smaller.
• Phloem transport food material.
• Phloem tissues are elongated, tubular shaped.
• Phloem fibres are larger.

The correct answer is Red Soil.

Key Points

• Red Soil:-
  • ​Red soil develops reddish colour due to the diffusion of iron in crystalline and metamorphic rocks.
  • It looks yellow in a hydrated form.
  • It is highly porous and fertile when they are fine-grained and deep.
  • This soil is deficient in nitrogen, humus, phosphoric acid, magnesium, and lime but fairly rich in potash, with its pH ranging from neutral to acidic.
  • Cotton, wheat, rice, beans, millets, tobacco, oilseeds, potatoes, and fruits are some of the appropriate crops for red soils.
  • Red soil develops on crystalline igneous rocks in areas of low rainfall in the eastern and southern parts of the Deccan plateau.
  • They are also found in parts of Orissa, Chhattisgarh, southern parts of the middle Ganga plain and along the piedmont zone of the Western Ghats.

Additional Information Laterite Soil

• Laterite has been derived from the Latin word ‘Later’ which means brick. 
• The laterite soils develop in areas with high temperatures and heavy rainfall. 
• These are the result of intense leaching due to tropical rains. With rain, lime and silica are leached away, and soils rich in iron oxide and aluminum compound are left behind. 
• Humus content of the soil is removed fast by bacteria that thrives well in high temperature. 
• These soils are poor in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphate and calcium, while iron oxide and potash are in excess. 
• Hence, laterites are not suitable for cultivation; however, application of manures and fertilizers are required for making the soils fertile for cultivation. 
• Red laterite soils in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala are more suitable for tree crops like cashewnut.
• Laterite soils are widely cut as bricks for use in house construction. 
• These soils have mainly developed in the higher areas of the Peninsular plateau. 

• The laterite soils are commonly found in Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and the hilly areas of Odisha and Assam.

Black Soil

• Black soil covers most of the Deccan Plateau which include parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and some parts of Tamil Nadu.
• These soils are also known as the ‘Regur Soil’ or the ‘Black Cotton Soil’.
• The black soils are generally clayey, deep, and impermeable.
• They swell and become sticky when wet and shrink when dried. Being sticky is characteristic of black soil.
• So, during the dry season, this soil develops wide cracks. Thus, there occurs a kind of ‘self-ploughing’.
• The black soils are rich in lime, iron, magnesia, and alumina.
• They also contain potash but they lack phosphorous, nitrogen, and organic matter.

​Alluvial Soil

• Alluvial soils are widespread in the northern plains and the river valleys. These soils cover almost 40% of the total area of the country. 
• They are depositional soils, transported and deposited by rivers and streams. 
• Zonal Soil- These types of soil have the same mineral properties that of the parent rock and are found in the same area where they are weathered.
• The alluvial soils vary in nature from sandy, loam to clay.
• Alluvial soils lack nitrogen, phosphorus and humus. However, they are generally rich in potash and lime. 
• In the Upper and Middle Ganga plain, two different types of alluvial soils have developed, viz. Khadar and Bhangar.
• Khadar is the new alluvium and is deposited by floods annually, which enriches the soil by depositing fine silts.
• Bhangar represents a system of older alluvium, deposited away from the flood plains.
• The colour of the alluvial soils varies from light grey to ash grey.
• The soil lacks nitrogen content. 

The correct answer is Dandi March.

Key Points

Dandi March

• On 12th March 1930, Gandhiji began his march from the ashram to the ocean. He reached shore and made salt and thereby making himself a criminal insight of law. Many parallel salt marches were undertaken during this time in other parts of the country.

• Surprisingly these 22 languages do not include “English” which is widely spoken in India.​

Mistake Points

• Many students confuse these languages with “Classical language” which includes only 6 languages - Tamil (declared in 2004), Sanskrit (declared in 2005), Kannada (declared in 2008), Telugu (declared in 2008), Malayalam (declared in 2013), and Odia (declared in 2014).​

Additional Information

• Nepali was originally not present in the 8th schedule of the constitution but later added with the 71st amendment act along with Konkani & Manipuri.
• Bodo, Dogri, Maithili, and Santhali were added by the 92nd Amendment Act of 2003.

The Correct answer is Both A and B.

Important Points

• Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that arises when workers are searching for new jobs or are transitioning from one job to another. It is part of natural unemployment and hence is present even when the economy is considered at full employment.
  • Hence statement A is correct.
• The major cause of frictional unemployment include -:
• A mismatch between the workers and available jobs
• If there is a mismatch between job-seekers and available jobs in the market, that is considered frictional unemployment. The issue can especially affect the new entrants or re-entrants to the job market. This is generally due to the natural career progression for an employee, and their natural transition to a new job, industry, or role.
• Workers’ dissatisfaction with work conditions
• Workers’ anxiety towards salaries, benefits, work location, job responsibilities, etc. may force them to quit their current job, and look for something that better meets their updated expectations.
• In a recession, frictional unemployment tends to fall as workers have less confidence to wait for a better job. They are more likely to stay in their current job or take the first job that comes along.
  • Hence statement B is correct. 

The correct answer is Boron, silicon, antimony.

 Key Points

• Metalloids:-
  • These are elements that have properties similar to both metals and non-metals. In some of their properties, they show similarity with metals and in others with non-metals.
  • They are hence placed in between metals and non-metals.
  • Metalloids can also be called semimetals.
  • They are found in groups 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the p-block.
  • Metalloids include Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.

The correct answer is a 300 AKey Points

Right to Property

• The property right was deleted from the list of Fundamental Rights by the 44thAmendment Act, 1978. It is made a legal right under Article 300-A in Part XII of the Constitution.
• It is not an exclusive legal right offered to citizens. Hence, Option 2 is correct.
• Amendments for this purpose are made to article 19 and article 31 is deleted.
• It is ensured that the removal of property from the list of fundamental rights would not affect the right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
• The 44thAmendment Act, 1978 inserted Article 300A in a new chapter IV of Part XII of the Constitution, thereby depriving the ‘right to property of its ‘fundamental right’ status.
• Article 300 A of the constitution of India says that a person shall not be deprived of his property save by the authority of the law.

GIVEN:

P grazes 15 cows for 4 months, Q grazes 21 cows for 3 months and R grazes 24 cows for 5 months.

Rent for a year = Rs. 3240

CONCEPT:

Rent will be shared according to the number of cows and time for which the cows graze.

CALCULATION:

According to the given data:

Ratio in which the rent will be shared among P, Q and R

= (15 × 4) : (21 × 3) : (24 × 5)

= 60 : 63 : 120

= 20 : 21 : 40

Hence,

Rent paid by P =  = Rs. 800

Given:

The difference between the simple interest and compound interest (interest is compounded half yearly) on a sum at the rate of 25% per annum for one year is ₹ 4375

Formula used:

Simple Interest = (P × N × R)/100

Compound Interest = [P(1 + (r/200))^T] - P      (for compounded half yearly)

Calculation:

Let P be the Principal,

S.I = (P × 1 × 25)/100 = P/4

C.I = [P(1 + (25/200))²] - P        ( T = 2   ∵ compounded half yearly for 1 year)

⇒ C.I = 17P/64

Now, C.I - S.I = (17P/64) - (P/4) = P/64

⇒ P/64 = 4375

∴ P = 64 × 4375 = 280000

Shortcut TrickFormula used:

CI - SI = P(R/100)²

Rate (R) = 25%/2 due to the compounded half-yearly.

⇒ 4375 = P (25/200)²

⇒ P = 4375 × 64

⇒ P = 280,000

∴ The sum is Rs. 280,000.

Given:

Profit % of the retailer = 40%

Discount = 4a%

New discount =  (3a + 25)%

Formula Used: 

Calculation:

       .........(1)

Now, when the discount is (3a + 25)%

              .........(2)

Equate the value of equation (1) in eq. (2), we get,

 = 

⇒ 100 × 100 - 400a + 100p - 4ap = 140 × 100 - 3a × 140 - 25 × 140 

⇒ 10000 + 100p - 4ap - 400a = 14000 - 420a - 3500

⇒ 100p - 4ap = 500 - 20a 

⇒ p(100 - 4a) = 5(100 - 4a)

⇒ p = 5

Here, p is a positive value so the profit will occur. 

∴ The correct answer is 5% Profit.

The correct answer is 'was invited to inauguration the function'.

Key Points

• The error in the sentence lies in the use of the word "inauguration." In the context provided, it's not the function that's being inaugurated but rather the action of initiating or formally starting the function that's intended.
• The correct word to use here is "inaugurate." "Inaugurate" is a verb that means to formally begin or introduce something, especially an event, by performing a ceremony or taking an official action.
• In this case, the famous actress was invited to perform the act of inaugurating or formally starting the function. So, the corrected sentence should be: "There was a huge crowd as the famous actress was invited to inaugurate the function."
• This change makes the sentence grammatically accurate by using the verb "inaugurate" in its proper form to indicate the actress's action of formally commencing the function.
   

Correct Sentence: There was a huge crowd as the famous actress was invited to inaugurate the function.
