Question Discussion & Solution

​The correct answer is Sirohi.

• The district of Rajasthan, where the tropical dry deciduous forests are not found in Sirohi.

Key Points

• Biodiversity of Rajasthan:
  • Though a large percentage of the total area is desert and even though there is little forest cover, Rajasthan has rich and varied flora and fauna.
  • The natural vegetation is classed as Northern Desert Thorn Forest (Champion 1936).
  • These occur in small clumps scattered in more or less open forms.
  • The density and size of patches increase from west to east following the increase in rainfall.
  • The Northwestern thorn scrub forests lie in a band around the Thar Desert, between the desert and the Aravallis.
  • The Aravalli and the south-eastern region is home to the dry deciduous forests, with tropical dry broadleaf forests that include teak, Acacia, and other trees. Hence Sirohi is the correct answer.
  • The hilly ‘Vagad’ region lies in southernmost Rajasthan.
  • Vagad is the wettest region in Rajasthan, and the most heavily forested.
  • North of ‘Vagad’ lies the Mewar region, home to the cities of Udaipur and Chittaurgarh.
  • All these regions have varied flora and fauna distinct to the region.

Additional Information

  • Epiphytic - 06
  • Parasitic Species -10
  • Carnivorous Species - 05
  • Endemic Species -19
  • Medicinal Plant Species -157+ 

The correct answer is Virendra Kumar Singhal.

Key Points

• Virendra Kumar Singhal has not been Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court.

Additional Information 

• The Rajasthan High Court: 
  • It was established on 29 August 1949 under the Rajasthan High Court Ordinance, 1949.
  • The seat of the court is at Jodhpur and the bench at Jaipur.
  • The court has a sanctioned judge strength of 50.
  • The High Court of Rajasthan was founded in 1949 at Jaipur and was inaugurated by the Rajpramukh, Maharaja Sawai Man Singh on 29 August 1949, later on after complete integration of Rajasthan in 1956 it was moved to Jodhpur with the recommendation of the Satyanarayana Rao committee.

Important Points

• The First Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court was Kamala Kant Verma.
• Present Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court - Indrajit Mahanty

The correct answer is chemical energy.

Key Points

• The dry cell is a type of electric battery which is used for portable electrical devices.
• Electricity is produced through the dry cells from electrochemical energy. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
• A common dry cell is a zinc-carbon cell.
• The electrolyte is immobilized as a paste by a dry cell, with just enough humidity in it to allow current to flow.
• Like a wet cell, a dry cell can work without spilling in any direction, because there is no free liquid in it.
• The versatility makes it ideal for mobile devices.
• The first wet-cell batteries, in comparison, were usually fragile glass containers featuring lead rods sticking from an open-top.
• Hence, they required careful handling to prevent spillage.
• The dry-cell battery development made a significant advance in battery safety and portability.
• Batteries render electricity from chemical energy.
• Batteries consist of one or more different parts, or cells, which contain an electrolyte called a chemical.
• Every cell has two electrodes that are electrically conductive immersed in its electrolyte.
• The electrodes consist of different materials; one releases electrons into the electrolyte, and the other absorbs them.
• Once an electrical system is attached to the electrodes, an electrical current passes through it and supports its operation with electric power.
• The energy contained in the dry cell is therefore in the form of chemical energy.

Additional Information

• Thermal energy
  • It is also called heat energy 
  • It is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
  • The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
  • Thermal energy is energy that comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a temperature rise.
• In physical sciences, mechanical energy
  • It is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
  • It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system.
  • The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant.
• Nuclear power
  • It is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity.
  • Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay, and nuclear fusion reactions.
  • Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants.

The correct answer is Barmer - Jalore.

Key Points

• Barmer-Jalore are major bajra producing districts.

Additional Information 

According to the question, we have the following diagram,

Hence, Kritika is standing in the south-west direction with respect to her initial position.
