Question Discussion & Solution

Given code language:

'nee muk pic' means 'grave and concern';
'ill dic so' means 'every body else'; and
'tur muk so' means 'body and soul'.

So we can decode the following words:

muk - and

so' - body

'tur - soul

Proceeding ahead accordingly, the code for 'every' is either 'ill' or 'dic' and the code for 'concern' is either 'nee' or 'pic'.

The correct answer is Rice.

• Rice blast disease, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae (Ascomycota), occurs in about 80 countries on all continents where rice is grown, in both paddy fields and upland cultivation.
• The extent of damage caused depends on environmental factors, but worldwide it is one of the most devastating cereal diseases, resulting in losses of 10–30% of the global yield of rice.
• Other common diseases of the crop of rice are - Blight, Bacterial leaf streak, Brown spot, Sheath blight, False smut, etc.

Additional Information

• The biological agents that causing diseases to plants are known as pathogens. 
• Some of the viral diseases in plants are - bud blight (soyabeans), Curly tops (Beans, tomato, etc.), Mosaic leaf (Tomato, pea, potato,tobacco, etc.).
• Some of the bacterial diseases in plants are - Blights (vegetable crops), Bacterial wilts (Tobacco, potatoes, etc), Cankers (Woody plants), Leaf Spots, Soft Wrots, etc.
• Some of the fungal diseases in the plants are - Cankers, Ergot, Rusts, Root rots, Scabs, Smuts, etc.
   

The correct answer is Amarkantak.

• Amarkantak is the origin of Narmada river.

Key Points

• The Narmada river rises to the summit of the Amarkantak Hill in Madhya Pradesh.
• The Narmada river flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
• The river drains into the Arabian Sea in the Bharuch district of Gujarat.

Additional Information

• The Narmada and the Tapti rivers are west flowing.
• Narmada and Tapti are the largest River without Delta.
• Satpura Range:
  • It is a series of seven mountains running in East-West direction to the South of Vindhya and in between the Narmada and Tapi.
  • It comprises Rajpipla hills, Mahadeo hills and Maikal Range.
  • Satpuras are fold mountains and Dhupgarh is its highest peak. 

The correct answer is Gold.

Key Points

• Gold is the most malleable metal as it can be hammered to a thickness of 0.0025 mm.
• 1 gram of gold can be beaten into a sheet that spreads across an area of 1 m².
• Malleability, as a physical property of metals, is used to describe a given metal’s reaction to compressive forces.
• A metal with low malleability, like tungsten, will shatter when exposed to compression.
• A metal with high malleability, like lead, will deform when compressed.

The correct answer is SRAM.

​Key Points

• SRAM memory devices are very much similar, mainly in terms of speed, to the cache memory.
• SRAM stands for Static random-access memory.
• Static random-access memory is a type of random-access memory that uses latching circuitry to store each bit.
• SRAM is volatile memory; data is lost when power is removed.
• The term static differentiates SRAM from DRAM which must be periodically refreshed.

Additional Information

• Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of semiconductor memory that is typically used for the data or program code needed by a computer processor to function.
• Flash memory, also known as flash storage, is a type of nonvolatile memory that erases data in units called blocks and rewrites data at the byte level.
• EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage.
