Given pair is profession: work place

Teacher work in school

Similarly, Astronomer works in Observatory.

For other options farmer works in field, Chef works in kitchen and Tailor works in Boutique no such combination is given except Astronomer who works in observatory.

The correct answer is Todarmal.

• Todarmal was the last to lead the deputation sent by Akbar to Pratap to negotiate his peaceful subjugation.

Key Points

• Delegation sent to Pratap by Akbar:
  • The very first deputation was sent by Akbar to Maharana Pratap was under Jalal khan Korchi on September 1572 to negotiate his peaceful subjugation but Pratap refused to do so.
  • On April 1573m, Mansingh of Amer was sent to the same agenda but Pratap again refused it. It is said that this deputation was met with Pratap at Gogunda.
  • On September 1573  Bagwantdas of Amer was sent and finally fourth and the last delegation under Todarmal was sent on December 1573.
  • All of the delegations were sent with the same agenda and every time Pratap refused to accept the supremacy of Akbar.

Additional Information

• Battle of Haldighati:
  • After the failure of all of the delegation, the Battle of Haldighati took place on 18 June 1576 in Rajsamand.
  • Mansingh was Commandor of Akbar's army and Hakim khan Suri was commander of Pratap's army.
  • Chetak, the horse of Pratap, was died during this battle at Balicha place.
  • Jhala Bida wore the Pratap crown on the battlefield when Pratap got injured.
  • The Battle of Haldighati is also called the Battle of Tharmopalli by James todd.

Concept:

• Plant growth hormones or phytohormones are simple molecules with complex chemical composition, that regulates the growth and physiology of plants.
• Based on their functions on the living plant body they can be classified into two groups:

1. Plant growth promoters - Promotes activities like cell division, cell enlargement, flowering, fruiting, etc. Eg. Auxins, Gibberellins & cytokinins.
2. Plant growth inhibitors - They are involved in various growth-inhibiting activities like dormancy, and abscission. Eg. Abscisic acid.

• Gaseous PGR like ethylene can be put into both groups, however, it is largely an inhibitor of growth activities.

Explanation:

• Ethylene is a simple gaseous PGR.
• It is synthesized in large amounts by tissues undergoing senescence and ripening fruits.
• Influences of ethylene on plants include horizontal growth of seedlings, swelling of the axis, and apical hook formation in dicot seedlings.
• Ethylene promotes senescence and abscission of plant organs, especially of leaves and flowers.
• Ethylene is highly effective in fruit ripening. It enhances the respiration rate during the ripening of the fruits. This rise in the rate of respiration is called respiratory climactic.
• Ethylene breaks seed and bud dormancy, initiates germination in peanut seeds, sprouting of potato tubers.
• Ethylene promotes rapid internode/petiole elongation in deepwater rice plants.
• It helps leaves/ upper parts of the shoot to remain above water.
• Ethylene also promotes root growth and root hair formation, thus helping the plants to increase their absorption surface.

Additional Information

The correct answer is Silicon.

• An integrated circuit, or IC, is a small chip that can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer, microprocessor, or even computer memory.
• An IC is a small wafer, usually made of silicon, that can hold anywhere from hundreds to millions of transistors, resistors, and capacitors.
• An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material that is normally silicon.

Key Points

• Silicon is a highly pure, easy to use, and cheap semiconductor, perfect for the now huge computer chip industry.
• Silicon is used because it can be used as either an insulator (doesn't allow electricity to flow) or a semiconductor (allows a little flow of electricity).

Important Points

The advantages of ICs :

• Extremely small in size.
• Low power consumption.
• Reliability.
• Reduced cost.
• Very small weight.
• Easy replacement. 

The correct answer is Sri Lanka, Maldives.

Key Points

• The 15th edition of the Maldives, India, and Sri Lanka biennial trilateral exercise 'Dosti', which began in the Maldives on 20 November 2021, concluded on 24 November 2021.
• Indian Coast Guard vessels, the ICGS Vajra and ICGS Apoorva participated in the exercise from the Indian side.
• The year 2021 marked 30 years since the initiation of the exercise.
• Exercise Dosti was initiated in 1991, between the Indian and Maldives Coast Guard.
• Sri Lanka joined the exercise for the first time in 2012.

Additional Information

•  The Chief of the Naval Staff is Admiral R Hari Kumar.
• The headquarters of the Indian Navy is Integrated Defence Headquarters, Ministry of Defence, New Delhi.
