The correct answer is Mode of Nutrition.
- In 1969, R.H. Whittaker introduced the five-kingdom system of classification.
- In the five-kingdom system, the basis of classification is the complexity of cell structure, physical organization, nutrition method, and life cycle.
- Aristotle firstly divided the living world into two groups, namely, flora and fauna.
- After that, in his book 'Systema Naturae', Linnaeus classified all animals into plants and animals.
- Linnaeus is called the 'father of modern classification system'.
Additional Information
- Whittaker classified all creatures in the following five kingdoms -
- Kingdom Monera-
- This world consists of prokaryotic organisms ie Bacteria, Cyanobacteria, and Archaebacteria.
- Kingdom Protista-
- This world consists of unicellular eukaryotic organisms. Yuglina, which is situated between plants and animals, is included in this world.
- Kingdom Fungi-
- This includes organisms dependent on parasites and dead food for food. Their cell wall is made of chitin.
- Plant World (Kingdom Plantae)-
- This world consists of algae and multicellular green plants.
- Kingdom Animal-
- This includes all multicellular animals. It is also called 'Metazoa'.
Direction: A series is given with one term missing. Select the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series
15 F 35, 35 H 70, 55 J 105, 75 L 140, ?
The given series is following-

For the first term
15 + 20 = 35
35 + 20 = 55
55 + 20 = 75
75 + 20 = 95
For the middle term
F + 2 = H
H + 2 = J
J + 2 = L
L + 2 = N
For the third term
35 + 35 = 70
70 + 35 = 105
105 + 35 = 140
140 + 35 = 175
Hence, the correct answer is 95 N 175.
The correct answer is Plaster of Paris.
Key Points
- Plaster of Paris is the generic name of calcium sulphate hemihydrate-CaSO4. 1/2H2O.
- Plaster of Paris is manufactured by heating gypsum at 423K or 150o C/300o F.
- On heating gypsum at 423 K, it loses water molecules and becomes calcium sulfate hemihydrate. This product is known as the plaster of Paris.
Important Points
- Application of Plaster of Paris-
- It is used as a building material as a protective coating on walls and ceilings.
- It is used as a moulding and vesting agent for decorative elements.
- It is also used for aesthetic touch to the construction elements.
- It is also field as plaster in orthopedics and as a filling material by dentists, etc.
Additional Information
- Baking soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda.
- Vinegar is also known as acetic acid. It typically contains 5–8% acetic acid by volume.
- Washing soda is a chemical compound with the formula Na2CO3, also known as sodium carbonate.
The computer has evolved from a large-sized simple calculating machine to a much smaller machine capable of multiple functionalities. Each generation of computer is designed based on the hardware technology used leading to better, cheaper and powerful computers that are faster and efficient than their predecessors.

Key Points
- Decision making structures require that the programmer specifies one or more conditions to be evaluated or tested by the program.
- It also involves a statement or statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be true, and optionally, other statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be false.
- C programming language provides the following types of decision-making statements.
- if...else statement
- An if statement can be followed by an optional else statement, which executes when the Boolean expression is false.
- switch statement
- A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values.
- C goto
- The goto statement in C/C++ also referred to as the unconditional jump statement can be used to jump from one point to another within a function.
Additional Information
- C break:
- This loop control statement is used to terminate the loop.
- As soon as the break statement is encountered from within a loop, the loop iterations stop there, and control returns from the loop immediately to the first statement after the loop.
