Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any part

Sita(a) with all her sisters(b) were here(c). No error.(d)

A) a B) b
C) c D) d
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) c

Explanation:

‘Were’ needs to be replaced with ‘was’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because, ‘If the subjects are joined by as well as, with, along with, together with, and not, in addition to, but, besides, except, rather than, accompanied by, like, unlike, no less than, nothing but, led by, headed by, guided by, controlled by, governed by,etc.. Then the verb will agree with the first subject’ Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘Sita with all her sisters was here’.

Q:

Which number multiplied by itself will give the output as 12345678987654321 ?

Answer

11 * 11 = 121


111 * 111 = 12321


what we observe is that the square of the number follows a pattern: 2 1's gives 121. 3 1's gives 12321.


so to get 12345678987654321 we need to get square of 9 1's(111,111,111).

Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Genetic variation is the cornerstone of evolution, without which there can be no natural selection, and so a low genetic diversity decreases the ability of a species to survive and reproduce, explains lead author Yoshan Moodley, Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of Venda in South Africa.

Two centuries ago, the black rhinoceros – which roamed much of sub Saharan Africa – had 64 different genetic lineages; but today only 20 of these lineages remain, says the paper. The species is now restricted to five countries, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Genetically unique populations that once existed in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi and Angola have disappeared. The origins of the 'genetic erosion' coincided with colonial rule in Africa and the popularity of big game hunting. From the second half of the 20th century, however, poaching for horns has dramatically depleted their population and genetic diversity, especially in Kenya and Tanzania.


Genetic diversity is proportional to _____________________.

A) species population B) the ability of a species to survive and reproduce
C) inbreeding D) extinction
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) the ability of a species to survive and reproduce

Q:

Statement I :

By far the most common topographic form in a Karst terrain is the sinkhole.

Statement II :

Topographically, a sinkhole is a depression that varies in depth from less than a meter to few hundred meters.

A) Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

Explanation:

A sinkhole (in Karst topography) is a hole in the ground that forms when water dissolves surface rock. Often, this surface rock is limestone, which is easily eroded, or worn away, by the movement of water.

Formation of a Sinkhole: In a landscape where limestone sits underneath the soil, water from rainfall collects in cracks in the stone. These cracks are called joints. Slowly, as the limestone dissolves and is carried away, the joints widen until the ground above them becomes unstable and collapses. The collapse often happens very suddenly and without very much warning. Water collects in these collapsed sections, forming sinkholes.

Sinkholes also form when the roofs of caves collapse. Sinkholes are often funnel-shaped, with the wide end open at the surface and the narrow end at the bottom of the pool.Sinkholes vary from shallow holes about 1 meter (3 feet) deep, to pits more than 50 meters (165 feet) deep.
