Question Discussion & Solution

Explanation:

BOSS (BHARAT OPERATING SYSTEM SOLUTIONS)

• National Resource Centre for Free/Open Source Software (NRCFOSS) of India developed a free and Open Source operating system called Bharat Operating System Solutions (BOSS).
• The latest variant of BOSS called GNU/Linux or simply BOSS Linux Version 5.0 is developed by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing).
• Linux Foundation has certified BOSS GNU/Linux for compliance with the Linux Standard Base standard.
• EduBOSS, another variant of BOSS GNU Did you know Linux, has educational applications for school students.
• The latest PC version learning packages that contain education of BOSS GNU/Linux is games, paint and graphic tools, typing tutor, available in eighteen and many other such tools.
• It also contains Indian languages. teaching tools for subjects like Math, Science, Social Studies among others.
• Another main component is the e-learning editor that enables teachers to develop and publish web-based learning and teaching materials and design online quizzes, tests, and self-evaluation procedures.

Important Points

•  The latest PC version of BOSS GNU/Linux is available in 18 Indian languages.

When the question figure is merged with the figure in option 3, the complete pattern can be seen as:

Hence, the figure in option (3) is the correct answer.

Concept:

​Simple Pendulum:

• A simple pendulum consists of a small metallic ball or a piece of stone suspended from a rigid stand by a thread.
  The metallic ball is called Bob.
• A pendulum swings from one extreme position to another and comes back to the same position, this completes one oscillation. 
• One oscillation can also be defined as the pendulum starting from the mean position, going to one extreme, and coming back to the same mean position. 
• The time duration to compete for one oscillation is called time period and the is reciprocal of time period is frequency. 
• Frequency: The number of oscillations per unit time is called frequency. 

\(frequncy =\frac{Oscillation}{Time}\)

Calculation:

Given that : Frequency = 2 hz and time = 16 sec.

In a sec pendulum completes 2 oscillations per second.

⇒ Oscillations = Frequency × time

⇒ Oscillations = 2×16

⇒ Oscillations = 32

Additional Information

The time period of a simple pendulum depends upon on the length of the string and acceleration due to gravity.

\(T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\)

l is length, g is acceleration due to gravity. 

Compile : Assemble – These are synonyms to each other.

So, now let’s check each option,

Elastic : Rigid - These are antonyms to each other.

Greet : Dodge - These are antonyms to each other.

Kidnap : Release - These are antonyms to each other.

Scream : Shriek - These are synonyms to each other.
