Question Discussion & Solution

The code for ‘IRONIC’ would be ‘#!?@#&’.

The correct answer is Anand Math.

• The National song of India, ‘Vande Matram’ has been taken from Anand Math.

Key Points

• Anand Math:
  • It was authored by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee.
  • The book was originally written in 1882.
  • Anandamath takes the reader back to Bengal in the clutches of the famine, the backdrop of the pre-independence struggle and the turmoil of human lives caught in this frame of time. 
  • It is considered one of the most remarkable works of the Bangla language and Indian literature.
  • Through the book, Bankim also gave us the song ‘VandeMataram’which became the rallying call for rebels.
  • The first two stanzas eventually became the National song of India.
  • One of the gems of Indian Literature, ‘Anandmath’ carries a deep sentiment of nationalism which was the essence of the freedom struggle.

Additional Information

• The 'Neel Darpan' published in 1860 portrays the plight of indigo cultivators was created by Deenbandhu Mitra.
• The first play ever commercially staged was Neel Darpan in 1872.
• It was translated by Micheal Madhusudan Dutta and it was published by

The correct answer is constitutional authority.

Key Points

• The State Election Commission is the Constitutional body responsible for conducting and supervising elections to the local bodies in the State.
• The State Election Commission of Rajasthan was constituted in July 1994 under Article 243K of the Constitution of India.
• The State Election Commission of Rajasthan is a single member Committee headed by the State Election Commissioner.
• It has a Secretary who is also the Chief Electoral Officer for the State.
• The Commission discharges its Constitutional duty by way of preparing electoral rolls and holding elections for Panchayati Raj Institutions as well as for Municipal bodies.
• Elections to Panchayati Raj Institutions are being held in Rajasthan since 1960. The first election was conducted in 1960 by the Panchayat Department.
• Elections to Municipal bodies are being held in Rajasthan since 1960 by the local self department.
• Praveen Gupta, IAS is the present Chief Electoral Officer for the Rajasthan State.

Additional Information

• There are basically two types of bodies,
  • Constitutional Bodies - Those bodies which are mentioned in the constitution of India are known as Constitutional Bodies, For example, Finance commission (Article 280), Election Commission (Article 324), UPSC & SPSC (Article 315).
  • Extra Constitutional Bodies - Those bodies which are not mentioned in the constitution of India but are established by our parliament. 
    • They are further divided into two categories,
      • Statutory Bodies - Those bodies are made by law through the parliament, and they are autonomous in their function, such as CBI, SSC, NHRC, SEBI etc.
      • Non-Statutory Bodies - Those bodies which run through cabinet resolutions are known as Non-Statutory Bodies. For example, NITI Aayog, NDC etc.

The correct answer is Boiling point increases.

Key Points

• When salt is added to water the boiling point of the solution increases.
• Water boils when the molecules can overcome the vapour pressure of the surrounding air to move from liquid to gaseous phase.
• Salt dissolves in water because the covalent bond of water is stronger than the ionic bond in salt.
• NaCl easily dissociates into positive (Na+) and negative (Cl–) ions and these ions get surrounded by negative and positive charged sides of the water molecule.
• This affects the intermolecular attraction in water and the amount of energy required for the transition from liquid to vapour phase increases.

Additional Information

• Elevation in the boiling point refers to a condition where the temperature at which a solvent vaporizes is upraised.  
• This phenomenon is a result of the introduction of a non-volatile solute is to the pure solvent.
• The non-volatile solute on adding to the pure solvent disturbs the molecular interaction between the solvent molecule. 
• This reduces the capability of the solvent molecule to transform from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase. The vapour pressure of the solvent is brought down. 
• Thus more energy is required to vaporize the solvent. This energy is provided in the form of an increase in temperature.

A constructor is a member function of a class that initializes objects of a class. In C++, Constructor is automatically called when an object (instance of a class) creates. It is a special member function of the class.

Syntax

class_name(parameter1, parameter2, ...)

{

    // constructor Definition

}

Default Constructor

It is the constructor that doesn’t take any argument. It has no parameters.

Parameterized Constructors

It is possible to pass arguments to constructors. Typically, these arguments help initialize an object when it is created. 

Copy Constructor

A copy constructor is a member function that initializes an object using another object of the same class.
