Q:

Solve the below puzzle

Complete the five words below in such a way that the two letters that end the first word also start the second word, and the two letters that end the second word also start the third word etc. The same two letters that end the fifth word also start the first word, to complete the cycle

** IV **
** OT **
** IC **
** NG **
** RA **

Answer

Given that the next word should start with the ending two letters of the previous word. From this,

The first word is

SHIVER

Now, the next word should start with ER and must contain OT in the middle.

EROTIC

Now, the next word should start with IC and must contain IC in the middle.

ICICLE

Now, the next word should start with LE and must contain NG in the middle.

LENGTH

Now, the next word should start with TH and must contain RA in the middle.

THRASH

Hence, the required five words are SHIVER, EROTIC, ICICLE, LENGTH, THRASH.

Q:

Brightness of bulb depends on voltage or current?

A) Current	B) Voltage
C) Both A & B	D) None

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both A & B

Explanation:

Brightness of bulb depends on both voltage and current. The brightness depends on power.

Since we know that Power (P) = Voltage x Current = V I

So whether you increase the current or the voltage the brightness will increase.

Example Illustration:

If you connect a long bulb and a round bulb in series, the long bulb glows but the round bulb does not. Both of them have the same current flowing through them (they are in series) but the long bulb has a greater voltage across it because it has more resistance (even though V= IR is not obeyed exactly, voltage drop does depend on the resistance). If you connect a round bulb and a long bulb in parallel, however, it is the round bulb that is brighter because now the voltage across both bulbs is the same but the current is larger through the round bulb (smaller resistance).

Hence, the brightness of a bulb depends on power i.e, both voltage and current.

Q:

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

It is a labour of love and the result of painstaking research. Chikankari - A Lucknawi Tradition by Paola Manfredi, an Italian, is a book that shows her close and long association with the craft. Lucknow’s chikankari is known across the world yet very little research or documentation has been done. Articles or features have appeared off and on but this book is amongst the first of its kind, which aims to document the vast treasure called Chikan. What makes the book extremely interesting is that unlike other books that tend to rely on second hand material, with exhaustive references and quotes, Paola Manfredi has filled her tome with passionate grass-roots level research. The narrative more in the nature of a personal journey, with all the quirks and street-smart practicality, makes the book refreshing. As Paola says in the book, it is not a scholarly or academic research but more of a documentation of the world of chikankari.

Paola questions the use of chikan as a word for embroidery, highlighting that it has a broader connotation encompassing haute couture, the fine art of making a garment, embroidering it and finishing it with finesse. She is no stranger to chikankari having worked with SEWA and several craftsmen. Her love for white on white embroidery also found a calling in chikan. Paola came to India to work in textile exports and as she says, “If you like textiles ... India is a heaven, an inexhaustible treasure trove.”

The book, ‘Chikankari - A Lucknawi Tradition’ is best described as a ____________ the art of chikankari.

A) documentation of	B) academic research on
C) dissertation on	D) report on
