It is believed that the rate of increases in temperature changes and decreases with depth i.e. it follows a differential rate.
If the temperature were to increase at this constant rate then the temperature in the centre of the earth should be more than 2,00,000°c. This temperature is several times more than the surface temperature of the sun. But it is beyond earth's capacity to bear this temperature.

Stealth technology is a sub-discipline of military tactics and passive electronic countermeasures, which cover a range of techniques used with personnel, aircraft, ships, submarines, missiles and satellites to make them less visible (ideally invisible) to radar, infrared, sonar and other detection methods.
Designers turned to develop a particular shape for planes that tended to reduce detection, by redirecting electromagnetic waves from radars. Radar-absorbent materials (RAM), often as paints, are used especially on the edges of metal surfaces. While the material and thickness of RAM coatings can vary, the way they work is the same: absorb radiated energy from a ground or air based radar station into the coating and convert it to heat rather than reflect it back.

India has one time of +5:30 from Greenwich Mean Time. In winters, the sun rises in the Northeast shortly before 6 am, more than 90 minutes earlier than in the west, while during summers, daybreak comes as early as 4.30 am in the Northeast. Sun rises and sets almost two hours earlier in the Northeast than in the Rann of Kutch in the far west. Even national and international cricket matches played in Guwahati have to start half an hour early. It will save a lot of energy and improve productivity. Advancing the work-time by an hour will make a lot of difference to the energy saved. Most tea gardens in Assam, however, follow a different daylight schedule, popularly called the ‘Bagaan time,’ which was introduced by British tea planters more than 150 years ago. Bagaan time was set one hour ahead of IST for tea estates, collieries and oil industry of Assam and the 112-year-old Digboi refinery in eastern Assam. There are nine time zones in Russia, which currently observe times ranging from UTC+03:00 to UTC+12:00. USA has five time zones.

Google’s project Loon aims to change the way internet is accessed by the people. Which of the following is true about this project?
|
It uses local internet devices in each area which are directly connected to satellites.
|
It is about low priced Google-tab (small computer) with free internet connectivity.
|
It uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere to create an aerial wireless network.
|
It uses local internet devices in each area which are directly connected to satellites.
|
Many of us think of the Internet as a global community. But two-thirds of the world’s population does not yet have Internet access. Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after disasters. Project Loon balloons travel approximately 20 km above the Earth’s surface in the stratosphere. Winds in the stratosphere are stratified, and each layer of wind varies in speed and direction. Project Loon uses software algorithms to determine where its balloons need to go, then moves each one into a layer of wind blowing in the right direction. By moving with the wind, the balloons can be arranged to form one large communications network.

Ground level or "bad" ozone is not emitted directly into the air, but is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight. Emissions from industrial facilities and electric utilities, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC. Ground level ozone can have harmful effects on sensitive vegetation and ecosystems. Plant species that are sensitive to ozone and potentially at an increased risk from exposure include trees such as black cherry, quaking aspen, ponderosa pine and cottonwood. These effects can also have adverse impacts on ecosystems, including loss of species diversity and changes to habitat quality and water and nutrient cycles. Ozone is a serious threat to those suffering from asthma and respiratory problems and can cause premature deaths if it is high even for a short duration during the day.

The National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions was set up in 2004. The Government brought out an Ordinance in November 2004 establishing the Commission. Later a Bill was introduced in the Parliament in December 2004 and both Houses passed the Bill. Thus statement 1 is correct. The Commission is mandated to look into specific complaints regarding deprivation or violation of rights of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. The Commission is a quasi-judicial body and has been endowed with the powers of a Civil Court. It is to be headed by a Chairman who has been a Judge of the High Court and three members are to be nominated by Central Government. In a recent order, the Supreme Court ruled that all questions relating to conferring minority status on educational institutions are to be decided by the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (NCMEI) thus quashing the order of the Calcutta high court, which had said the body had no original jurisdiction on the issue. The supreme court said NCMEI has the power to decide any question that might arise, which relate directly or indirectly, with respect to the status of an institution as a minority educational institution. Hence statement 2 is correct. And also that only the Commission has the power to decide on granting a ‘no objection’ certificate to an institution that wanted to convert into a minority institution.

The solar wind is a stream of plasma released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It consists of mostly electrons and protons of very high energy. These particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy. As the solar wind approaches a planet that has a well-developed magnetic field (such as Earth, Jupiter and Saturn), the particles are deflected by the Lorentz force.

What is Doppler effect?
|
It is the critical stage in the nuclear chain reaction.
|
The change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to its source.
|
The movement of air in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction in northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere respectively.
|
It is the critical stage in the nuclear chain reaction.
|
The Doppler effect named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who proposed it in 1842 in Prague, is the change in frequency of a wave (or other periodic event) for an observer moving relative to its source. It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren or horn approaches, passes, and recedes from an observer. The Doppler effect is used in some types of radar, to measure the velocity of detected objects. A radar beam is fired at a moving target — e.g. a motor car, as police use radar to detect speeding motorists — as it approaches or recedes from the radar source. The Doppler weather radar system helps increase precision in weather forecasting.

GoMs decisions are placed before the Home ministry while EGoMs have power to take decisions on the line of the cabinet.

EGoMs had the power to take decisions on the line of the Union Cabinet. The recommendations of the GoMs were placed before the Cabinet for a final call.
Nine EGoMs and 21 GoMs were set up by the UPA government to take decisions on various matters such as corruption, inter-State water disputes, administrative reforms and gas and telecom pricing, before bringing them for the Cabinet’s consideration. During the UPA-II, 27 GoMs and 24 EGoMs were formed. The move is criticized on the basis that the GoMs and the EGoMs were meant to operate as a single-window clearance on issues related to various Ministries. However, government said that Wherever the Ministries face any difficulties, the Cabinet Secretariat and the Prime Minister’s Office will facilitate the decision making process.

A monorail is a railway in which the track consists of a single rail, typically elevated and with the trains suspended from it. Where the systems like Metro or BRT cannot be implemented, Monorail can be easily implemented and can negotiate sharp turns and climb up and down steep gradients easily. Metro, in general, has higher capacity than monorail.

Why can’t a central bank pursue an independent monetary policy, a fixed exchange rate and free capital movement simultaneously(unholy trinity or trilemma)?
|
An independent monetary policy with free capital movement will result in depreciation or appreciation of the currency
|
An independent monetary policy with capital control will result in depreciation or appreciation of the currency
|
An independent monetary policy with a fixed exchange rate will result in flight of capital
|
An independent monetary policy with free capital movement will result in depreciation or appreciation of the currency
|
According to the impossible trinity, a central bank can only pursue two of the mentioned three policies simultaneously. To see why, consider this example:
Assume that world interest rate is at 5%. If the home central bank tries to set domestic interest rate at a rate lower than 5%, for example at 2%, there will be a depreciation pressure on the home currency, because investors would want to sell their low yielding domestic currency and buy higher yielding foreign currency. If the central bank also wants to have free capital flows, the only way the central bank could prevent depreciation of the home currency is to sell its foreign currency reserves. Since foreign currency reserves of a central bank are limited, once the reserves are depleted, the domestic currency will depreciate.
