The custom still prevails among some groups in India.

A cloudburst is defined as a short-duration, intense rainfall event that can exceed 100 mm/h over a limited area, typically around 20-30 square kilometers. This weather phenomenon often leads to flash floods, especially in mountainous regions, where the sudden influx of rainwater can overwhelm local drainage systems. Understanding cloudbursts is crucial for disaster preparedness in affected areas.

From the common explanation, we can conclude that all the persons in the given option are born in the month having 31 days except M.
Hence, option A is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
Nine people J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q and R were born on the 13th of nine different months of the year 2000 but not necessarily in the same order.
No one was born after October and none of them was born in January.
Only one person was born in one month.
For all calculations of ages use 2022 as the current year.

Inferences:
From the above references, we can conclude the following:

References:
Three persons were born between O and K, where both were born in a month having 31 days.
The number of persons born before N is the same as the number of persons born after N.
Inferences:
From the above references, we can conclude the following cases:

References:
The number of persons born between O and N is the same as the number of persons born between N and M.
J was born in the month of having 30 days, but not in September.
Inferences:

References:
The number of persons born after K is the same as the number of persons born before Q.
L was born in the month having days less than 31.
Inferences:

References:
P was born before R.
The number of persons born between P and Q is the same as the number of persons born between Q and L.
Inferences:
From the above references, we can eliminate case 2.
Hence, the final arrangement is as follows:

Following the common explanation, we get “7 seats are there to the left of C”.
Hence, option D is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
1. Two people are sitting between A and Z.
2. C sits fourth to the right of Z.
3. The number of people sitting to the right of A is the same as the number of people sitting to the left of Z.
4. The number of people sitting between A and C is the same as the number of people sitting between X and C.
5. X is an immediate neighbour of D, who sits on one of the ends.
6. The number of people sitting between D and C is the same as the number of people sitting between C and Y.
7. At most 25 people are sitting in a row.
Inferences:
From reference 1, we get two possible cases.
From reference 7, case2 was eliminated.
Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions: 

I. Some coaches are nests → TRUE (Some beans are nests and all beans are coaches, so those part of nests that is beams will coaches also).

II. Some beams are jims → FALSE (Because, there is no direct relation given between jims and beans, so it can be possible only).

III. No beam is a jims → FALSE (Because, there is no direct relation given between jims and beans, so it can be possible only).

IV. Some nests are jims → TRUE (Some jims are nests, so some nests are jims also).

Here, Conclusion II and III forms a complementary pair.

So, Both conclusions I and IV and either conclusion II or III follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

100/5 + 100/25 = 20+4 = 24

Let the number of hens be x and the number of cows be y.

Then, x + y = 48 .... (i)

  and 2x + 4y = 140   ⇒   x + 2y = 70 .... (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 26, y = 22.

∴ The required answer = 26.

Clearly, the numbers which have 1 or 9 in the unit's digit, have squares that end in the digit 1. Such numbers from 1 to 70 are 1, 9, 11, 19, 21, 29, 31, 39, 41, 49, 51, 59, 61, 69.

Number of such number =14

X = K × Y × Z → It is known that when X = 6, Y = 3 and Z = 2.
Thus we get 6 = 6K → K = 1.
Thus, our relationship between X, Y and Z becomes X = Y × Z.
Thus, when Y = 5 and Z = 7 we get X = 35.

As, Mean = Total Sum of Observations / No. of Observations

Clearly, we have (3 + 11 + 7 + 9 + 15 + 13 + 8 + 19 + 17 + 21 + 14 + x) / 12 = 12.

or  137 + x = 144

⇒ x = 144 - 137 = 7.

In this type of question, we need to get the relative speed between them.

The relative speed of the boys = 5.5 – 5 = 0.5 km/h

The distance between them is 8.5 km.
Time = Distance/Speed
Time = 8.5/0.5 = 17 hrs

CP of 1000 gm = Rs. x
CP per gram = CP of 1 gm = Rs. x/1000
SP of 960 gm = Rs. x
SP per gram = SP of 1 gm = Rs. x/960

Let the common ratio be = x
Then; length = 3x, breadth = 2x and height = x
Then; as per question 3x · 2x · x = 1296 ⇒ 6x³ = 1296
⇒ x = 6 m
Breadth = 2x = 12 m

∠AOC of minor sector = 140°
∠AOC of major sector=360° - 140° = 220°
Theorem: The angle subtended at the centre is twice the angle formed at the circumference of the circle.
Hence,

∴ The measure of ∠x = 110°

For a, b negative the given expression will always be positive since, a², b² and ab are all positive.

► It is +1 with exceptions of prime numbers below 6 obviously.

► Any prime number above 6 is of the form:

6k + 1 or 6k - 1 ( A lot of people don't know this!))

► So therefore squares is of the form (6k ± 1)². Expand this and clearly the only term which is not a multiple of 6 will be 1. Which again makes it of the form 6K + 1( now only + because we squared the whole term, Remember?)!.

► So therefore the remainder is of the form +1.

► So for every prime no. above 6, the remainder 1.

So, for 2, it is 4

For 3, it is 3.

For 5, it is 1.

► For every other prime no. Square, It’s 1.

Motivation refers to the process that guides an individual to achieve a goal. There are two main types of motivation which include extrinsic and intrinsic motivation.

• There are various types of motivations that can influence a person. These include achievement, affiliation, self-enhancement, socialization, competence, power, change, attitude, incentive, fear, and aggression motivation.

Key Points

• Achievement Motivation: This is the motivation of a person to attain goals. The longing for achievement is inherent in every man, but not all persons look to achievement as their motivation.
• They are motivated by a goal. In order to attain that goal, they are willing to go as far as possible. The complexity of the goal is determined by a person’s perception. It is the drive to pursue and attain goals.
• An individual with achievement motivation wishes to achieve objectives and advance up the ladder of success. Here, accomplishment is important for its own sake and not for the rewards that accompany it.
• A girl child working very hard for her examination indicates high achievement motivation. It showcases her will to perform the best in life so that she can achieve the best of the results.
• It shows that she does not want to settle for a mediocre result. She is extremely serious about her exams and does not want to risk anything to the chance which is why she is working very hard so that she can cover the syllabus and can practice a variety of questions.

Thus, it is concluded that if a girl child is working very hard for her examination, her behavior is an indicator of high achievement motivation.

Hint

• It does not display sharp cognitive abilities. Cognitive skills are the basic mental abilities that we use to think, study, and learn.
• It also is not an indication of a very busy schedule. Obviously, she is busy putting effort into her examination, but that is her choice, it is not enforced by schedule.
• It does not indicate a desire to impress her parents as there is nothing mentioned about such a situation.

Gender parity -

• Gender equality requires equal enjoyment by women and men of socially-valued goods, opportunities, resources, and rewards.
• Promoting gender equality is the empowerment of women, with a focus on identifying and redressing power imbalances and giving women more autonomy to manage their own lives.
• Gender equality does not mean that men and women become the same; only that access to opportunities and life changes is neither dependent on nor constrained by their sex.
• Achieving gender equality requires women's empowerment to ensure that decision-making at private and public levels and access to resources are no longer weighted in men's favour so that both women and men can fully participate as equal partners in productive, reproductive, and social life.
• gender equality encompasses a wider concept, of which gender parity is only a part. It is the opposite of gender sensitivity.

Some other important terms related to gender are:

• Gender inequality refers to the entrenched and buried disparity between two halves of gender. Gender inequality means that men and women are not the same. It is based on the productive and reproductive roles of males and females where gender relations shape this inequality in numerous orders.
• Gender analysis is referred to identifies the inequalities that arise from the different roles of men and women, and analyzes the consequences of these inequalities for their lives, health, and well-being.
• Gender blindness refers to a failure to identify or acknowledge differences based on gender where it is significant. This approach does not recognize gender as an essential factor that determines the choices for men and women separately in society.

Hence, we conclude that the opposite of gender sensitivity is ​Gender parity.

​Childhood disorders are often categorized into two broad groups, called externalizing and internalizing disorders. Externalizing disorders are characterized by more outward-directed behaviors, such as aggressiveness, noncompliance, overactivity, and impulsiveness, and include disorders such as ADHD, conduct disorder (CD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Internalizing disorders are characterized by more inward-focused experiences and behaviors such as depression, social withdrawal, and anxiety, and include childhood anxiety and mood disorders.

Key Points

• ADHD refers to Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
• ADHD belongs to the group of externalizing disorders of childhood.
• Children with ADHD seem to have particular difficulty controlling their activity in situations that call for sitting still, such as in the classroom or at mealtimes.
• Many children with ADHD have difficulty getting along with peers and establishing friendships, perhaps because their behavior is often aggressive and generally annoying, and intrusive to others.
• Children with ADHD quickly wear out their shoes and clothing, smash their toys, and exhaust their families and teachers.

Hence, we can conclude that ADHD refers to Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable aim and may be viewed as the opposite of success. There are many cognitive, physical, intellectual, scholastical, emotional, and cultural causes for the failure of students.
Students' failure is defined as the lack of educational success that results in greater education costs as well as social and economic consequences.
Key Points
Ways to minimize the students' failure:

• Encourage them- The teacher should encourage children as much as possible and let them work at their own pace.
• Provide the opportunity for self-reflection- it helps children to discover where they can grow and improve.
• Making tasks comprehensible for children- It will help children to gain a better understanding of the concept and also boosts engagement.
• Look for the underlying problem- The teacher should look for the cause of their disinterest in learning tasks and when act accordingly.
• Helping students to understand the relevance of learning the task.
• Connecting concepts to real-life situations- The teacher should relate the concept with the everyday experiences of the children so that the children would be more attentive to the topic and it will also generate interest in the concept.

Hence, we conclude that students' failure can be minimized by helping students to understand the relevance of learning the task.

Development can be defined as a broad term that includes a series of qualitative and progressive changes. The development of human beings is divided into different stages such as Infancy, Childhood, Adolescence, and Adulthood.

Childhood refers to the period of the human lifespan, ranging from birth to puberty. It consists of many developmental stages. It is from two years to the age of 10 or 12 years. It consists of two stages i.e. Early & Later Childhood.

Key Points

Late childhood is the time period from the age of 'six to twelve years'. The signs of puberty usually begin to appear in this stage. It is also known as troublesome age, gang age, play age, etc.

Characteristics of Late Childhood:

• Increased logical reasoning.

• High Interest in science fiction.
• Use of analogies in explanation.
• Development of problem-solving skills.
• Powers of perception and observation become keen.
• Behaves like an investigator by enquiring about concrete concepts in different ways.
• Ability to exercise own power of memory and imagination.

Thus we can conclude that the investigator behavior of a child is seen in Later childhood.

Important Points

• Early childhood: It is a toy age because most of the time children are engaged with their toys. These toys are also helpful to educate children. Toys are an important element of their play activities.
• Early Adolescence: It is the threshold to adulthood. There are rapid physical changes taking place including sexual maturity which is attained during adolescence. Consequently, there are also psychological and social changes. Adolescence is a crucial stage for the person.
• The term “Puberty” which is applied to the period of physical changes for the reproductive capability of boys as well as girls, is derived from the Latin word, Pubertas meaning age of manhood. Puberty refers to the first phase of adolescence during which the reproduction apparatus matures.

Socialization is a process of learning the rules, habits and values of a group. It is a process that continues throughout life from birth till adulthood. However, there are different phases in which the process takes place. These phases are usually spread across different age groups and have been categorized as different types of socialization.

Key Points

Developmental socialization-

• This kind of socialization involves a learning process where the focus is more on developing social skills pertaining to the culture and one's own stage of development.
• For example, a Senior High School student begins teaching English to new students in order to improve verbal communication.
• Although this kind of socialization can occur at any time, it is frequently believed to occur throughout childhood and adolescence.
• Children pick up crucial social skills like how to interact with people, how to handle conflict, and how to make friends throughout these years.

Hence, we conclude that in developmental socialization, the focus is more on developing social skills pertaining to the culture and one's stage of development.

Additional Information

Jean Piaget made a systematic study of cognitive development among children of different age groups and he categorized it into different developmental stages. He is also known as the father of child Psychology. According to him, development is based on the physical environment or Biological abilities, he ignores social aspects.
According to him stages of cognitive development are-

• Sensory-motor:(birth to 2 years) - (Adaptation)
• Preoperational: (from age 2 years to 7 years) - (Assimilation)
• Concrete operational:(from 7 years to 11 years) - (Accomodation)
• Formal operational: (from11+ - adolescence and adulthood). - (Equilibrition).

Key Points
Accommodation: Jean Piaget defined accommodation as the cognitive process of revising existing cognitive schemas, perceptions, and understanding so that new information can be incorporated. This happens when the existing schema (knowledge) does not work and needs to be changed to deal with a new object or situation.

• Example: A child who understands that a four-legged creature is called a dog. Then, the child encounters a cat and refers to it as a dog until corrected by a parent. After being corrected, the child can distinguish between a dog and a cat.

Thus by all these references, we can conclude that Accommodation is altering existing schemas or creating new ones in response to new information.
Hint

• Equilibrium: The cognitive stability or balance arrived by the processes of assimilation and accommodation is the equilibrium obtained.
• Association is the complex mental processes, such as thinking, learning, and memory, can be wholly or mainly explained by the associative links formed between ideas.
• When newly assimilated information conflicts with previously formed mental structures, the result is called disequilibrium. This state (disequilibrium) motivates the learner to seek equilibrium.

Important Points

• Adaptation: Adaptation is one schema that describes how people learn and understand new information.
  • ​Example: a child seeing a dog and learning what it is.
• Assimilation: Piaget defined assimilation as the cognitive process of fitting new information into existing cognitive schemas, perceptions, and understanding.
  • Example: When a child learns the word for dog, they start to call all four-legged animals dogs.
• Equilibration: Equilibration involves the assimilation of information to fit with an individual's own existing mental schemas and the accommodation of information by adapting it to their way of thinking.
  • Example: a child loves the soups that their family eats on a regular basis.

Student-centric approach, also known as the learner-centered approach, encompasses teaching methods that shift focus from teachers to students.
Key Points
Assertion (A): A learner-centered approach provides the best experience for learners.

• A learner-centered approach views learners as active agents.
• They bring their own knowledge, past experiences, education, and ideas – and this impacts how they take on board new information and learn.
• It differs significantly from a traditional instructor-centered approach.
• This approach sees learners as respondents to external stimuli.

Hence a learner-centered approach provides the best experience for learners.
Therefore assertion is true.
Reason (R): Learner-centered approach does not acknowledge the needs of the learner as central to learning experience.

• Student-centric learning is personalized, competency-based, and engaging.
• It helps learners play to their interests and strengths, therefore helping them engage with their own learning journey.
• By incorporating interests and skills, this approach prepares individuals for life beyond the classroom.
• They acquire the skills needed to succeed after graduation and contribute to society.

Hence the learner-centered approach acknowledges the needs of the learner as central to the learning experiences.
Thus reason is incorrect.
Therefore the Assertion is true but Reason is false.

"Gender" refers to the socially constructed qualities of women, men, girls, and boys. This covers the standards, behaviours and roles that come with being a woman, man, girl or boy as well as interpersonal interactions.

Key Points

• Gender typing is the process through which children learn about their gender and behave accordingly by adopting the traits and values of people they identify as belonging to their sex.
• For example when a boy grows up, he identifies himself as the male gender and strives to be the stereotypical man. It is a method through which a child discovers and expresses his or her sexual orientation.
• Through gender-typing children learn about gender roles which is a set of societal norms dictating the types of behaviors that are generally considered acceptable, appropriate, or desirable for people based on their actual or perceived sex or sexuality.

Hence, we conclude that children learn appropriate gender roles at an early age in the gender typing process.
