Question Discussion & Solution

The mirror image are given bellow

 Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

• ​Is a substance that contains living microorganisms.
• These, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. 
• Biofertilizers add nutrients through the natural processes of Nitrogen fixation.
• Examples: Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Blue-green algae, Azospirilium.

Key PointsBlue green algae:

• Blue-green algae (BGA) is a photoautotrophic, prokaryotic algae.
• They are free-living creatures and also known as Cyanobacteria.
• It fixes the atmospheric nitrogen in moist soils.
• So BGA has been recommended as a biofertilizer.
• The algae include unicellular as well as filamentous species.
• Some of the filamentous forms have specialized cells known as heterocysts.​

Important Points

Biofertilizers:

Thus, the manure also considered as bio-fertilizer is Blue green algae.

Additional Information

Compost: 

• Composting is a process in which both aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms decompose organic matter.
• Farm compost is a mass of rotted organic matter made from farm waste like sugarcane trash, paddy straw, weeds and other plants.
• While town compost is a mass of rotted organic matter made from town refuses like night soil, street sweepings and dustbin refuse.

​Green Manure:

• Green manures are the crops that are grown primarily for building and maintaining soil fertility and structure.
• Green manure crops should be such that they can be grown quickly.
• Green manure crops include legumes such as vetch, clover, beans and peas; grasses such as annual ryegrass, oats, rapeseed, winter wheat and winter rye and buckwheat.
• Green manure crops provide nitrogen as the major nutrient.

Farmyard Manure:

• It is the decomposed mixture of dung and urine of farm animals.
• It also contains litter and leftover materials from roughages or fodder fed to cattle.

1. Three friends, Vinitha, Mira and Neethu, had lunch at a hotel.

2. When the bill was received, Vinitha paid 2/3 as much as Mira paid and Mira paid 1/2 as much as Neethu paid.

Vinitha = Mira       ---(i)

Mira =  Neethu

2 Mira = Neethu       ---(ii)

As, the total bill was divided among them

So, Vinitha + Mira + Neethu = 1       ---(iii)

Substituting the value of (i) and (ii) in (iii), we get:

Mira + Mira + 2 Mira = 1

Mira = 3/11

Saw is used for cutting wood.

Similarly, Scythe is used for cutting Grass.

Concept:

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO):

• It is the premier space agency of the government of India.
• Its vision is to harness space technology for national development while pursuing space science research and planetary exploration.
• The space research activities were initiated in India under Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the founding father of the Indian space program, during the 1960s.
• ISRO established: 15 August 1969
• Headquarters: Bengaluru

​Explanation:

Vikram Sarabhai:

• Vikram Sarabhai was an Indian Physicist.
• He Initiated Space Research.
• He is also known as the 'Father of the Indian space program'.
• Vikram Sarabhai also researched cosmic Rays under Dr. C.V. Raman, a noble prize winner.

Thus, the Indian Space Research Center was formed by Vikram Sarabhai.

Additional Information 

Homi Baba:

• Homi Baba worked towards the development of nuclear power.
• Known as the 'Father of the Indian nuclear program'
• He founded the Tata Institute Of Fundamental Research. 

Rakesh Sharma:

• Rakesh Sharma is the first Indian citizen to travel to space.
• Rakesh Sharma flew aboard Soyuz T - 11 along with Yury Malyshev and Flight Engineer Gennadi Strekalov.
• He became the first Indian to enter space in 1984.
• He was an officer in the Indian Air Force.
• He was awarded the honour of “the Hero of the Soviet Union”.
• He also received Ashok Chakra, India’s highest peacetime gallantry award.

K Sivan:

• Dr K Sivan was the Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation uptill 2021.
• He was born in 1957 in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu.
• Dr Sivan was inducted into Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle Project of ISRO in 1982.
• He also served as Director at Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre at ISRO and Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre.
• He assumed the office as chief of ISRO in 2018.
