Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Three.

According to the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, 3 conditions related to dowry have been stated.

Key Points

Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961

• Dowry Prohibition Act, Indian law, enacted on May 1, 1961, intended to prevent the giving or receiving of a dowry.
• Under the Dowry Prohibition Act, dowry includes property, goods, or money given by either party to the marriage, by the parents of either party or by anyone else in connection with the marriage.
• There are three occasions related to dowry.
  • One is before the marriage,
  • The second is at the time of marriage 
  • The third is at any time after the marriage. The third occasion may appear to be an unending period. But the crucial words are in connection with the marriage of the said parties.

The correct answer is First.

• In the year 2017-18, Rajasthan was the largest millet producing state of India.

Key Points

• Rajasthan was followed by Maharashtra and Karnataka.
• The year 2023 will be observed as the International Year of Millets. 
• The Central Government declared 2018 as the year of millets. 
• Millet Mission comes under the National Food Security Mission (NFSM) which was launched in October 2007. 
• Millets include Jowar and ragi etc.

Additional Information 

• Types of Crops in India:
  • Kharif: Sown in June/July, harvested in September/October, e.g., rice, jowar, bajra, ragi, maize, cotton, and jute.
  • Rabi: Sown in October/December, harvested in April/May, e.g., wheat, barley, peas, rapeseed, mustard grains.
  • Zyad: They are raised between April/June, e.g., melons, watermelons, cucumbers, toor, leafy and other vegetables.

We have drawn the figure according to the information given in the question,

(Let the turning points as shown in the figure)

Hence, she is now 15 km East from her starting point.

The correct answer is Yamuna River System.

Key Points

• The Betwa is a tributary of the Yamuna River.
• It originates in the Vindhya Range in Madhya Pradesh and flows through Orchha (Madhya Pradesh) before reaching Uttar Pradesh.
• It joins the Yamuna River near Hamirpur after traveling 590 kilometers.
• The Betwa River has two major tributaries: the Halali and Dhasan Rivers.
• The Yamuna river is a major tributary of the river Ganges, it originates from the Yamunotri glacier near the Banderpoonch peaks of the lower Himalayas.
• It travels a total length of 1,376 kilometers and merges with the Ganges at Triveni Sangam, Prayagraj (Allahabad).
• Tons, Hindon, Ken, Betwa, Chambal rivers are some of its tributaries.

Additional Information

• Ganga River System:
  • The Ganga (the Padma in Bangladesh) forms by the confluence of Alakhnanda and Bhagirathi at Devprayag.
  • Bhagirathi originates from Gangotri glacier and Alakhnanda originates from Satopanth glacier.
  • The total length of the Ganga river is 2525 km.
  • Some of the tributaries of Ganga are the Yamuna, the Ramganga, the Gomati, the Ghaghara, the Gandak, the Kosi and the Mahanada.
• Narmada:
  • The Narmada is the largest west-flowing river in India.
  • It rises near the Amarkantak range of mountains in Madhya Pradesh.
  • It is the fifth-largest river in the country.
  • The total length of the river is 1312 kilometers.
  • The Sher, the Dudhi, the Tawa (biggest tributary), the Ganjal, the Hiran, the Barna, the Choral, and the Lohar are some of the tributaries of the Narmada river.
• Tapti:
  • Tapti River is one of the major rivers of peninsular India.
  • Its total length is 724 km.
  • The Tapti river source of origin lies in Multai, in the Betul district of Madhya Pradesh.
  • Vaki, Gomai, Arunavati, Aner, Panjhra, Bori, and Girna are some of the tributaries.

CONCEPT:

Rutherford’s Model of the Atom:

• He bombarded the beam of alpha particles on a very thin gold foil.
• While bombarding he observes the number of scattering of particles –
  • Most of the particles passed either un-deviated or with a very small deviation.
  • Some deviated by large angles
  • 1 out of 8000 was deflected by more than 90°
• The conclusion to this deflection:
  • Most of the space of an atom is empty.
  • At the centre of an atom having a tiny positively charged particle called a nucleus.
  • The centre nucleus has all the mass of an atom.
  • The amount of positive charge at the nucleus is equal to the total amount of negative charges on all the electrons of the atom.
  • All the electrons revolve around the nucleus and coulomb force provide the centripetal force

​

EXPLANATION:

• After the α -particles scattering experiment, the following conclusions were made by Rutherford as regard as atomic structure:

• Most of the mass (at least 99.95%) and all of the charge of an atom concentrated in a very small region is called the atomic nucleus. Therefore option 4 is correct.
• The nucleus consists of proton and neutron, in which proton was first discovered by Rutherford but neutrons were later discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
• In an atom, there is maximum empty space and the electrons revolve around the nucleus in the same way as the planets revolve around the sun and the nnumber of protons and electrons inside an atom are equal under normal conditions (non-ionized).
