Hurricane (the Caribbean Sea, North America): A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low-pressure center surrounded by a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain and snow. These steer tropical waves westward from the African coast and towards the Caribbean Sea, North America, and ultimately into the central Pacific ocean before the waves dampen out.

6) Consider the following statements: Assertion (A) : 41percent of the moon surface is never seen from the earth. Reason (R) : The moon rotates and revolves in the same direction as does the earth

A) Both (A) and (R) are individually true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) B) Both (A) and (R) are individually true but (R) is not a correct explanation of (A) C) (A) is true but (R) is false D) (A) is false but (R) is true.

We all know that the Earth rotates on its own axis, so theoretically, the Moon should also do the same, allowing us to get a full picture of the planetoid. Why are we limited to seeing only 50 percent?

It turns out that the speed at which the Moon rotates has led to this particular phenomenon. So here not mentioned about the Speed, therefore the answer is ‘B’ not ‘A’. Everything turns the same way. Viewed from above the north pole, the Earth spins counterclockwise. The Earth travels around the Sun counterclockwise. The Moon travels around the Earth counterclockwise and, relative to a fixed point, the Moon spins counterclockwise on its axis.

7) Fujita scale refers to A) The scale to assess the severity of flood B) The scale to assess the earthquake severity C) The scale to assess the relative severity and damage of tornado D) the scale to assess the cyclonic severity

The Moon, not by coincidence, spins only once as it travels around the Earth. The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, meaning the same side always faces us. All the major moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their planets as well. Tidal friction slowly robs energy from the rotation until the tidal locked condition is reached. In the very distant future, the Earth will be tidally locked to the Moon. The days on Earth will be very long, tides will cease and total solar eclipses will no longer exist. It would seem logical to say that at any one time we can see 50% of the Moon's face. If the Moon were flat, that would be correct, however we know the Moon is a sphere. And the spherical shape of the Moon hides the area close to the perimeter and we can, at any one time, see only 41% of the Moon's face. 711 EVR Road, Opp. Anna Arch, NSK Nagar, Arumbakkam, CHENNAI-106.

The Fujita scale (F-Scale), or Fujita-Pearson scale, is a scale for rating tornado intensity, based primarily on the damage tornadoes inflict on human-built structures and vegetation. E-mail: [email protected]

The output approach or Production method: The output approach focuses on finding the total output of a nation by directly finding the total value of all goods and services a nation produces. Because of the complication of the multiple stages in the production of a good or service, only the final value of a good or service is included in total output. This avoids an issue often called 'double counting', wherein the total value of a good is included several times in national output, by counting it repeatedly in several stages of production. In the example of meat production, the value of the good from the farm may be $10, then $30 from the butchers, and then $60 from the supermarket. The value that should be included in final national output should be $60, not the sum of all those 8) If the GDP is measured at the price prevailing at a point numbers, $100.

Their sum gives an alternative way of C) GDP constant price D) (A) + (B) + (C) calculating the value of final output. Gross domestic product (GDP) at current prices is GDP at prices of the current reporting period. Also known as Formula: nominal GDP. Current price GDP measures value-added production in today's prices. GDP(gross domestic product) at market price = value of output in an economy in a particular year - intermediate 9) The product method of measuring GDP involves consumption A) Incomes generated from the production of goods and services NNP at factor cost = GDP at market price - depreciation + B) Adding up the value of everything produced in NFIA (net factor income from abroad) - net indirect taxes the country during the year C) Adding up all expenditures on final output D) None of the above

10) A higher interest rate might induce households to -------but businesses to ---------------A) Save more, borrow less B) Save less, borrow more C) Save more, borrow more D) Save less, borrow less Real interest rates influence the level of household consumption in a country. Consumption of durable goods is interest sensitive, since households will sometimes finance the purchase of "big ticket items" such as automobiles, household appliances, computers, televisions, and other goods through borrowing. Households will respond to higher real interest rates by decreasing their consumption of these non-essential items since it becomes more costly to borrow when interest rates rise.

The Indian judiciary, in a catena of cases has effectively resorted to the writ of habeas corpus to secure release of a person from illegal detention. The Indian judiciary has dispensed with the traditional doctrine of locus standi, so that if a detained person is not in a position to file a petition, it can be moved on his behalf by any other person. The scope of habeas relief has expanded in recent times by actions of the Indian judiciary. The habeas writ was used in the Rajan case. It was also filed by Panthers Party to protest the imprisonment of Anna Hazare, a social activist. A writ of prohibition is issued primarily to prevent an inferior court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction in cases pending before it or acting contrary to the rules of natural justice. It is issued by a superior court to inferior courts from usurping a jurisdiction with which it was not legally vested, or in other words to compel inferior courts to keep within the limits of their jurisdiction. Thus the writ is issued in both cases where there is excess of jurisdiction and where there is absence of jurisdiction (S. Govind Menon vs. union of India, AIR 1967 SC 1274). 12) Consider the following statements: In the words of Dr.B.R. Ambedkar, Directive principles of state policy are “ Novel feature” of the Indian Constitution because: I. The se principles are in the nature of general direction or guidance to the state. II. They embody the principles or objectives and ideals which and state governments must bear in mind while formulating policy and making laws Which of the statements given above is/are correct? A) I only B) II only C) Both I and II D) Neither I nor II The Directive Principles of State Policy are guidelines to the central and state governments of India, to be kept in mind while framing laws and policies. These provisions, contained in Part IV of the Constitution of India, are not enforceable by any court, but the principles laid down therein are considered fundamental in the governance of the country, making its the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws to establish a just society in the country. The principles have been inspired by the Directive Principles given in the Constitution of Ireland and also by the principles of Gandhism; and relate to social justice, economic welfare, foreign policy, and legal and administrative matters.

Judicial review is adopted in the Constitution of India from the Constitution of the United States of America. In the Indian constitution, Judicial review is dealt with under Article 13. Judicial Review refers that the Constitution is the supreme power of the nation and all laws are under its supremacy. Article 13 states that:

All pre-constitutional laws, if in part or completely in conflict with the Constitution, shall have all conflicting provisions deemed ineffective until an amendment to the Constitution ends the conflict. In such situation the provision of that law will again come into force, if it is compatible with the constitution as amended. This is called the Doctrine of Eclipse.

In time, Ghaffar Khan's goal came to be the formulation of a united, independent, secular India. To achieve this end, he founded the Khudai Khidmatgar ("Servants of God"), commonly known as the "Red Shirts" (Surkh Posh), during the 1920s. The Khudai Khidmatgar was founded on a belief in the power of Gandhi's notion of Satyagraha, a form of active non-violence as captured in an oath. He told its members: "I am going to give you such a weapon that the police and the army will not be able to stand against it. It is the weapon of the Prophet, but you are not aware of it.

Chandragupta II was succeeded by his son Kumaragupta, whose earliest known date is (Gupta era) 96 (=416 CE). His reign was peaceful, except at the very end when he faced rebellion in his western provinces, which his son Skandagupta was dispatched to suppress. Kumaragupta reigned c. 415-455. His gold coins are considered some of the finest examples of Indian numismatic art. He also issued a large silver coinage, some very rare coins in copper and also coins in lead.

An X-ray tube is a vacuum tube that produces X-rays. They are used in X-ray machines. X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, an ionizing radiation with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet light. X-ray tubes evolved from experimental Crookes tubes with which X-rays were first discovered in the late 19th century, and the availability of this controllable source of X-rays created the field of radiography, the imaging of opaque objects with penetrating radiation. X-ray tubes are also used in CAT scanners, airport luggage scanners, X-ray crystallography, and for industrial inspection. 27) Consider the following : I. CO burns with a blue flame II.

Carbon monoxide is produced from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds; it forms when there is not enough oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), such as when operating a stove or an internal combustion engine in an enclosed space. In the presence of oxygen, carbon monoxide burns with a blue flame, producing carbon dioxide. Coal gas, which was widely used before the 1960s for domestic lighting, cooking, and heating, had carbon monoxide as a significant constituent. Some processes in modern technology, such as iron smelting, still produce carbon monoxide as a byproduct.

Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics active against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Generally gram-positive species are inhibited by lower tetracycline concentrations than gram-negatives. The group spectrum of activity also includes some anaerobic bacteria, Rickettsiae, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, spirochaetes (e.g. Treponema and Borrelia) and also some protozoa. They lack activity against fungi and viruses. Secondary fungal infections are often common following tetracycline therapy as a result of the destruction of the ‘normal’ protective microbial flora. 40) Consider the following statements: Assertion (A): Insulin lowers the blood glucose concentration Reason (R) : Lowered blood glucose concentration stimulates secretion of glucagon Now select your answer according to the coding scheme given below: A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) 711 EVR Road, Opp. Anna Arch, NSK Nagar, Arumbakkam, CHENNAI-106.

To put it very simply, entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. A Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter of a dilute gas of weakly interacting bosons confined in an external potential and cooled to temperatures very near to absolute zero. Under such conditions, a large fraction of the bosons occupy the lowest quantum state of the external potential, at which point quantum effects become apparent on a macroscopic scale. Absolute zero is the theoretical lowest possible temperature. More formally, it is the theoretical temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value.

The microalgae concentration in the water is very rich, causing the dark colour. Also the sediments (especially the deeper ones) are black.

India's heavy dependence on wood and biomass as domestic fuel is expected to continue even in the present century. However, from April 2002, the Ministry of Nonconventional Energy Sources has discontinued its funding support to NPIC. After its inception in 1984, NPIC underwent several changes in both policy and implementation. The present paper attempts to make a critical appraisal of the programme.

popularisation. The programme revealed the intricacies involved in the apparently simple issue of use of biomass as a household fuel. Two of the important issues that came up in the course of the programme were: (1) the impact of wood and biomass fuels on the health of the rural women and children; and (2) the use of the commercialisation approach as against the subsidy and welfare approach. 50) Which city is famous for ‘Kumbh Mela’?

Direct Action Day (16 August 1946), also known as the Great Calcutta Killings, was a day of widespread riot and manslaughter in the city of Calcutta (now known as Kolkata) in the Bengal province of British India. The day also marked the start of what is known as The Week of the Long Knives. The Muslim League and the Indian National Congress were the two largest political parties in the Constituent Assembly of India in the 1940s. The 1946 Cabinet Mission to India for planning of the transfer of power from the British Raj to the Indian leadership proposed an initial plan of composition of the new Dominion of India and its government. However, soon an alternative plan to divide the British Raj into a Hindu-majority India and a Muslim-majority Pakistan was proposed by the Muslim League. The Congress rejected Kumbh Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimage in which Hindus the alternative proposal outright. Muslim League planned gather at the Ganges and river Godavari, where bathing for general strike (hartal) on 16 August terming it as Direct Action Day to protest this rejection, and to assert its purification from sin is considered especially efficacious. demand for a separate Muslim homeland.

Mountbatten's first proposed solution for the Indian subcontinent, known as the 'May Plan', was rejected by Congress leader Jawaharlal Nehru on the grounds it would cause the 'balkanisation of India'. The following month the 'May Plan' was substituted for the 'June Plan', in which provinces would have to choose between India and Pakistan. Bengal and Punjab both voted for partition. On 3 June 1947, Lord Mountbatten announced his plan.

WiMAX and Wi-Fi are wireless technologies. “WiMAX” stands for “Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access” and “Wi-Fi” stands for “Wireless Fidelity.” They are different from each other in many ways. In this article we will discuss WiMAX IEEE 802.16 and Wi-Fi 802.11. One of the main differences is the range in which they operate. WiMAX can be used for long ranges. It provides broadband connectivity up to varied ranges, around 30 km. The service is provided from a central location, and the connectivity is inside or outside the service radius plus the people moving in cars, etc., just like a These are the awardees among 11 scientists selected mobile phone.

Its success gave rise to Vallabhbhai Patel as one of the greatest leaders of the independence struggle. Under the leadership of Vallabhbhai Patel in 1928, the Bardoli Kisan Satyagraha proved to be the best example of the practice of Gandhian principle of non-violence as well as a milestone of the way of India’s freedom movement. There is not another Satyagraha in my view that could be compared with it. During the course of struggle, a journalist of a then-government supported newspaper “The Times of India” wrote: “It is Bolshevism in Bardoli and Vallabhbhai is its Lenin.” 98) Who had sing songs on Nammalwar as God instead of Thirumal?
