Question Discussion & Solution

As the total distance between A and G is equal to E and D i.e. 20 km. So BD = 20 – (10 + 1) = 9 Km.

Hence, the distance between B and D is 9 km 

​The correct answer is Truck farming.

Key Points

• The farmers specialize in vegetables only, this type of farming is known as Truck farming.
• In the regions where farmers specialize in vegetables only, the farming is known as Truck farming, and the distance of truck farms from the market is governed by the distance that a truck can cover overnight, hence the name truck farming.
• Vegetable farms are in some regions known as truck farms: "truck" is a noun for which its more common meaning overshadows its historically separate use as a term for "vegetables are grown for the market".
• The production of crops of some vegetables on an extensive scale in regions especially suited to their culture primarily for shipment to distant markets known as Truck farming.
• The major truck-farming areas are in California, Texas, Florida, along the Atlantic Coastal Plain, and in the Great Lakes area.
• Centres for specific crops vary with the season. Among the most important truck crops are tomatoes, lettuce, melons, beets, broccoli, celery, radishes, onions, cabbage, and strawberries.

Additional Information

The correct answer is 4°C.

• Freezing of Water:
  • As water freezes, cold water (or ice formed) comes on the surface and warm water goes down.
  • Since the freezing temperature of the water is 0ºC or 273 K.
  • So water at the bottom should be at a higher temperature.
  • Water density at 4ºC is more than the density of water at 0ºC, hence the correct option is 4ºC.

​Key Points

• Reason of low temperature at bottom of the top layer:
  • This is due to the process of convection.
  • When the temperature of the water at the top layer reaches the freezing point, it is converted to ice.
  • But ice is lighter than water, so it will not sink to the bottom.
  • So there will be ice on the top surface and water would remain at the bottom of the lake. 

The Correct Answer is Option (2) i.e C.

• The C language is also known as the mother of all programming languages.
• C is a general-purpose programming language that is used for creating a variety of applications.
• C language was originally developed for writing operating systems. Unix Kernel and all of its supporting tools and libraries are written in C language.
• The C language is used for the following operations :
  • Operating systems
  • Development of new languages
  • Computation platforms
  • Embedded systems
  • Graphics and Games
• C++ and Java are the high-level languages and COBOL is a compiled English-like computer programming language.

The correct answer is Calcium Carbonate.

Key Points

• The chief component of the nacre that constitutes the pearl is aragonite (CaCO₃).
• Nacre also contains a small amount of conchiolin, a hornlike organic substance (albuminoid) that is the main constituent of the mollusc's outer shell.
• Pearl also contains Magnesium Carbonate(MgCO₃) along with Calcium Carbonate.

Additional Information

• Calcium carbonate is a common substance found in rocks as the minerals calcite and aragonite and is the main component of eggshells, snail shells, seashells, and pearls. 
• The Molar Mass of Calcium Carbonate is 100.0869 g/mol.
• Melting point: 825 °C.
