Q1032. Crater Lake in Oregon, USA, and Lake Toba in Indonesia are prime examples of which type of lake classification?
Explanation
Lakes can be classified by their formational origins. Crater Lake in the United States and Lake Toba in Indonesia are classic examples of volcanic lakes. These bodies of water form in the large, circular depressions called calderas, which are created when a volcano’s magma chamber empties and the summit collapses. Over time, these deep basins fill with rainwater and snowmelt.
Q1033. Choose the correct chronological sequence representing the evolution of poverty measurement approaches adopted by the United Nations Development Programme:
Explanation
The evolution of measuring human progress began with a broad index in 1990. Seven years later, a specific measure focusing on deprivations was introduced to better understand the poor. Finally, in 2010, the international community shifted to a multidimensional approach that identifies overlapping hardships at the household level. This chronological progression reflects an increasing sophistication in how global development and poverty are understood.
Q1034. What is a direct effect of severe network congestion on a packet-switched network like the internet?
Explanation
Network congestion occurs when the volume of data traffic exceeds the capacity of the network’s links or nodes. This bottleneck leads to increased latency as packets wait in queues, and potentially high rates of packet loss if buffers overflow. For users, this manifests as slow loading times, buffering in video streams, and intermittent connectivity issues, reflecting the strained capacity of the network infrastructure.
Q1035. Which of the following princely states issued the ‘Rao Shahi’ coins?
Explanation
The Rao Shahi coins were issued by the princely state of Alwar. Minted during the reign of the Naruka rulers, these coins are part of the broader pattern of independent state currencies in Rajasthan. They provide insights into the economic sovereignty and the administrative history of Alwar, particularly during the transition period between the decline of the Mughals and the rise of British influence.
Q1036. The following question consists of two statements, an Assertion (A) and a Reason (R). Read them carefully and select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Assertion (A): In the Later Vedic period, women lost the privilege of attending the Sabha and Vidatha.
Reason (R): The tightening of patriarchal control was linked to the development of a settled agrarian society and the rise of private property and territorial kingdoms.
Assertion (A): In the Later Vedic period, women lost the privilege of attending the Sabha and Vidatha.
Reason (R): The tightening of patriarchal control was linked to the development of a settled agrarian society and the rise of private property and territorial kingdoms.
Explanation
During the Later Vedic period, women were increasingly excluded from political assemblies like the Sabha and Vidatha, where they previously participated. This decline in status was a direct consequence of the transition to a settled agrarian society. The rise of private property and territorial kingdoms strengthened patriarchal control, leading to the restriction of women’s public roles and a focus on domestic life.
Q1037. Find the odd one out from the following grounds of reasonable restrictions on Freedom of Speech and Expression under Article 19(2):
Explanation
Contempt of court, friendly relations with foreign states and decency or morality are grounds in Article 19(2). Protection of the interests of Scheduled Tribes is a ground in Article 19(5) for the freedom of movement and residence, so it is the odd one out.
Q1038. Which of the following is the most appropriate description of a "subsequent river"?
Explanation
In the study of drainage patterns, a subsequent river is defined as a tributary stream that develops after the establishment of the original consequent drainage. Its course is primarily determined by the underlying geology, as it selectively erodes along belts of softer or weaker rock. This results in a valley that typically follows the strike of the rock strata.
Q1039. The Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index determines the level of human development when:
Explanation
This modified index provides a more realistic view of human progress by adjusting the average achievements in health, education, and income for their distribution across the population. If resources are concentrated among a few, the index value drops significantly. It essentially shows the actual level of development that an average person experiences, taking into account the impact of internal social and economic inequalities.
Q1040. The standard suite of protocols responsible for communication across the Internet is known as:
Explanation
The TCP/IP suite is the foundational set of protocols that enables global communication over the Internet. It consists of the Transmission Control Protocol, which ensures reliable data delivery, and the Internet Protocol, which handles the addressing and routing of data packets. Together, these protocols allow diverse computer systems across the world to exchange information seamlessly, regardless of their underlying hardware or software.Answer key for these questions
