The public knowledge communicated by a range of non-specialist masses encompassing a wide subject range. General erudition: knowledge of many things.
What does General Knowledge talk about?
Knowledge about anything, anyone, anyplace in the universe. General acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation. General knowledge is also moderately associated with verbal ability, though only weakly or not at all with numerical and spatial ability.
Why is General Knowledge Needed?
There are studies that found General Knowledge can predict exam results. The study examined personality predictors &cognitive ability in student's exam performance which found General knowledge was positively related with overall exam results.

D) Longitudinal waves can travel in all media-solids, liquids and gases.
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) The sensitivity of the human ear does not vary with the frequency of the sound.
Explanation:
The human ear can respond to minute pressure variations inthe air if they are in the audible frequency range, roughly 20 Hz -20 kHz. In fact, tests conducted show an increased sensitivity in the 3000 Hz range which is the optimal amplification frequency in the human ear. So, the sensitivity of the human ear varies with the frequency of the sound.

In the given question, a statement with a single blank is given. Choose the most effective word from the given options to complete the sentence meaningfully.
One has to be very _______ during the monsoons as the road becomes slippery.
'Cautious' can be used to make the sentence meaningful which means alert or be careful. The context of the statement is that of the monsoon season being a bit troublesome due to slippery roads which need to be navigated with care. 'Prepared' and 'smart' may appear to be true but we need to choose the most suitable response which in this case is 'cautious'. Hence, 'cautious' is the correct answer.
Who is the first female and the first ever Asian to become the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Global Giant Unilever? She is incidentally an Indian.
