Question Discussion & Solution

Concept:

ArithmeticException is an unchecked exception in Java. Usually, one would come across java. lang. ArithmeticException: Divide ( / ) by zero which occurs when an attempt is made to divide two numbers and the number in the denominator is zero

Code snippet:

int a = 0;

int b = 10/a      // divide by zero exception.

Additional Information 

• A null pointer exception is thrown when an application attempts to use null in a case where an object is required. These include: Calling the instance method of a null object. Accessing or modifying the field of a null object.
• Signals that a method has been invoked at an illegal or inappropriate time. In other words, the Java environment or Java application is not in an appropriate state for the requested operation
• The array index out of bounds error is a special case of the buffer overflow error. It occurs when the index used to address array items exceeds the allowed value. It's the area outside the array bounds which is being addressed, that's why this situation is considered a case of undefined behavior..

The correct answer is Subscript.

Key Points

• CTRL+EQUAL SIGN Apply subscript formatting.
• CTRL+SHFT+PLUS SIGN Apply superscript formatting.

Additional Information

• CTRL+SHFT+> Increase the font size.
• CTRL+SHFT+< Decrease the font size.
• CTRL+] Increase the font size by 1 point.
• CTRL+[ Decrease the font size by 1 point. 

The Correct Answer is Cytokinin.

Key Points

• Cytokinins are a class of plant growth substances (phytohormones) that promote cell division or cytokinesis in plant roots and shoots.
• There are two types of Cytokinins: Adenine-type Cytokinins represented by Zeatin, Kinetin and 6-Benzylaminopurine and Phenylurea-type Cytokinins like Diphenylurea and Thidiazuron (TDZ).

Key Points 

• Auxins are a class of plant hormones with some morphogen-like characteristics. Auxins play a cardinal role in the coordination of many growths and behavioural processes in plant life cycles and are essential for plant body development.
• Abscisic acid is a plant hormone. ABA functions in many plant developmental processes, including seed and bud dormancy, the control of organ size and stomatal closure.
• Gibberellins are plant hormones that regulate various developmental processes, including stem elongation, dormancy, germination, flowering, flower development and leaf and fruit senescence.

 Additional Information 

Concept-

• When the functioning of one or more organs or systems of the body is adversely affected, characterized by various signs and symptoms, we say that we are not healthy, i.e., we have a disease.
• Diseases can be broadly grouped into infectious and non-infectious.
• Diseases that are easily transmitted from one person to another, are called infectious diseases.
• Infectious diseases are very common and every one of us suffers from these at some time or other. Some of the infectious diseases like AIDS are fatal.
• Non-infectious disease cancer is the major cause of death.

Important Points

• Hepatitis B is a liver disease that is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
• The virus is known to interfere with the functions of the liver and cause pathological damage.
• It can be both acute or chronic disease.
• HBV is spread by contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person.

Explanation-

• Human beings have been abusing the water bodies around the world by disposing of them all kinds of waste.
• We tend to believe that water can wash away everything not taking cognizance of the fact that the water bodies are our lifeline as well as that of all other living organisms.
• Sewage from our homes as well as from hospitals is likely to contain many undesirable pathogenic microorganisms.
• Its disposal into the water without proper treatment may cause an outbreak of serious diseases, such as dysentery, typhoid, jaundice, cholera, etc.

Therefore Hepatitis-B is not a contaminated water disease.

Mistake Points

• Jaundice and Hepatitis B are not the same.
• Hepatitis B is a disease, while jaundice is a symptom.
• Jaundice symptom can be caused by many different reasons and Hepatitis B is just one of them. It can also be caused due to contaminated water.

Additional Information

Jaundice

• Jaundice can spread through contaminated water.
• It is a disease caused due to the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood and blood tissues.
• The disease causes yellowish discoloration of the skin, eyes, and other mucous membranes. 
• It is common in newborn babies because the newborn’s liver is not fully developed.
• Symptoms of Jaundice are fever, abdominal pain, weight loss, drowsiness, vomiting, etc.

Cholera

• Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal disease that can kill within hours if left untreated.
• It is caused due to the consumption of contaminated food or water.
• The provision of safe water and sanitation is critical to control the transmission of cholera and other waterborne diseases.
• It is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholera.
• People may feel pain in their abdomen, nausea, vomiting, or watery Diarrhoea.

Concept:

The different types of motion are described in the below table.

Explanation:

• When a tight string is stretched, we can see the string is moving up and down at a very fast speed.
• It may be so fast, we cannot predict the exact location of the string for a while.
• This type of phenomenon is called vibration and such motion is called vibrational motion. 
• This can also be observed while playing the guitar. 
• The guitar strings vibrate when pulled while playing it. 

The correct option is vibrational.
