Question Discussion & Solution

Explanation:

• Pulses are considered to be nitrogen-fixing crops as they have root nodules onto which symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium get attached and fix atmospheric nitrogen
• Whereas, Cereals are the crops that demand a lot of nitrogen thus after harvest the soil becomes deficient in nitrogen, so to compensate for this deficiency a pulse crop is grown between two cereal crops
• This practice of growing different food crops alternatively in the same field is called Crop Rotation

Important Points 

Crop Rotation

• Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of different types of crops in the same area across a sequence of growing seasons
• It reduces reliance on one set of nutrients, pest and weed pressure, and the probability of developing resistant pests and weeds.
• Crop rotation involves planting a sequence of different kinds of crops in a location over a number of seasons.
• Rotating crops helps maintain or improve soil health and maintain or increase the productivity of the farm over time
• A diverse crop rotation gives the soil microbes different food sources, which ultimately makes soil healthier.

The correct answer is Cybersecurity.

Key Points

• Cryptography is a specialized area of Cybersecurity.
• Cryptography is also defined as the study of secure communications techniques that allow only the sender and intended recipient of a message to view its contents.
• It covers the obfuscation of information in images using techniques such as microdots or merging.
• It is used to protect the written documents.
• The main purpose of cryptography appears to be making content and images undecipherable, the true goal of cryptography in an information technology context is to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of any information technology system.

The least possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusion 1: All apples are bananas → True (This is definitely true)

Conclusion 2: Some bananas are mangoes → True (This is definitely true)

Hence, both 1 and 2 follow.

The correct answer is 1 i.e. propanal.

Concept:

IUPAC nomenclature:

• A systematic method of naming organic compounds.
• Naming is based on their structures.
• It is devised by the International Union of Pure and Applied chemistry.
• Many rules are followed while naming the compounds and it is different for different functional groups.
• The rules are known as IUPAC rules.

Explanation:

• This compound contains 3 carbon atoms, so its parent alkane is propane.
• It also contains an aldehyde group (-CHO-) group which is indicated by using 'al' as suffix or ending.
• So by replacing the last 'e' of butane with 'al', the name becomes propanal.
• Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound CH3CH2CHO is propanal.
• The common name of propanal is Propionaldehyde.

​Additional Information

• The chart for priority order and suffix name is given below:

1^st letter: Decrease by - 1

O - 1→ N – 1 → M - 1 → L – 1 → K

2^nd letter: increase by + 2

L + 2 → N + 2→ P + 2 → R + 2 → T

3^rd letter: Decrease by - 1

T - 1→ S – 1 → R - 1 → Q – 1 → P
