Question Discussion & Solution

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.

Explanation:

• Pulses are considered to be nitrogen-fixing crops as they have root nodules onto which symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium get attached and fix atmospheric nitrogen
• Whereas, Cereals are the crops that demand a lot of nitrogen thus after harvest the soil becomes deficient in nitrogen, so to compensate for this deficiency a pulse crop is grown between two cereal crops
• This practice of growing different food crops alternatively in the same field is called Crop Rotation

Important Points 

Crop Rotation

• Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of different types of crops in the same area across a sequence of growing seasons
• It reduces reliance on one set of nutrients, pest and weed pressure, and the probability of developing resistant pests and weeds.
• Crop rotation involves planting a sequence of different kinds of crops in a location over a number of seasons.
• Rotating crops helps maintain or improve soil health and maintain or increase the productivity of the farm over time
• A diverse crop rotation gives the soil microbes different food sources, which ultimately makes soil healthier.

The correct answer is Red Light.

Concept:

Photosynthesis: 

• The leaves have a green pigment called chlorophyll.
• It helps leaves to capture the energy of the sunlight.
• This energy is used to synthesise (prepare) food from carbon dioxide and water. Since the synthesis of food occurs in the presence of sunlight, it is called photosynthesis.

In the presence of sunlight Carbon dioxide + water → Carbohydrate + oxygen.

• Some plants, green algae, and cyanobacteria can perform photosynthesis.
• The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as

                   6CO2 + 6H2O + Sun-Light → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis is maximum in the Red colour of Light and Least in the Green colour of Light.
• In the absorption spectrum, the red & blue lights are absorbed while the majority of green light gets reflected
• Photosynthesis range from 400 to 700 nm, It absorbs the Violet, Blue and Red colour of Light.

The correct answer is Shifting.

• Jhoom agriculture is also known as Shifting.

Key Points

• Shifting Agriculture:
  • It is practised by the tribals in the forest areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh.
