Question Discussion & Solution

Statement: x /= 2,

It is compound assignment statement. It is basically a shorthand notation for incrementing the variable on the left by a value on the right.

So, x /= 2 is same as x = x / 2.

Similarly

X -= 2; is the same as x = x – 2 ;

 x*=2; is the same as x=x*2;

Therefore, in given question all the options are 1, 2, 4 are correct. As there are using the compound assignment operators.

But in option 3 x%=2 is not same as x = x/2 as the operators are different.

X%=2 is same as x = x%2

The correct option is, i.e. Brain.

• Hypothalamus-
  • The Hypothalamus is a part of Brain that plays a crucial role in many important functions of the Human Body.
  • The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus in the brain.
  • The hormones from the hypothalamus govern physiological functions such as temperature regulation, thirst, hunger, sleep, mood, and the release of other hormones within the body.
  • Hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland.

The correct answer is Input.

• Devices that enter information into the computer and communicate with it are called Input devices.

Key Points

• An input device is a peripheral (piece of computer hardware equipment) used to provide data and control signals to an information processing system such as a computer or other information appliance.
• The Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a computer receives the input and processes it to produce the output.

Additional Information

• Examples of input devices include
  • Keyboards, mouse, scanners, digital cameras, joysticks, Microphone, TouchPad, Webcam, remote, biometric devices, etc.
• Keyboard is a basic input device that is used to enter data into a computer or any other electronic device by pressing keys.
• Mouse is a hand-held input device that is used to move cursor or pointer across the screen. 
• Scanner uses the pictures and pages of text as input. 

The correct answer is a Female egg cell.

The female egg cell is the largest cell in the human body. The nerve cell is the longest cell in the body.

• The egg cell or ovum is the largest cell in the human body.
• It has a diameter of about 0.1 mm.
• A nerve cell is the longest cell in the human body.
• Muscle cells are the primary cells responsible for the movement of the body. There are three types of muscle cells found in our body, namely ;
  • Skeletal muscle or voluntary muscle.
  • Smooth muscle or involuntary muscle.
  • Cardiac muscle.

Mistake Points

• The smallest cell is Mycoplasma (PPLO-Pleuro pneumonia-like organisms).
• It is about 10 micrometres in size.
• The largest cell is an egg cell of ostrich.
• The longest cell is the nerve cell.
• The largest cell in the human body is the female ovum.
• The smallest cell in the human body is the male gametes, that is, sperm.

The correct answer is Copper.

Key Points

• Conductor of electricity
  • In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge in one or more directions.
  • Materials made of metal are common electrical conductors. 
  • Copper is considered to be a conductor because it conducts the electron current or flow of electrons fairly easily. Most metals are considered to be good conductors of electrical current. Copper is just one of the more popular materials that are used for conductors. Hence, Option 4 is correct.
  • If you have to define the meaning of electrical conductors in the simplest way, they are materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily.
  • If we compare two types of material and the first one allows better flow of electricity through it, then that material is said to be a good conductor of electricity.
  • An electrical conductor allows the electric charges to easily flow through them. The property of conductors to conduct electricity is called conductivity.
  • Such materials offer less opposition or resistance to the flow of charges.
  • Conducting materials allow easy charge transfer because of the free movement of electrons through them.

Additional Information

• • Some examples of conductors of electricity are
    • Copper
    • Aluminum
    • Silver
    • Gold
    • Graphite
    • Platinum
    • Water
    • People
