Answer : 3. "Afforestation"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Afforestation Explanation: The four most common soil erosion prevention methods are vegetation, geotextiles, mulch, and retaining walls. By planting grass in areas of concentrated water flow, farmers can prevent much of the soil erosion that results from runoff, as the grass stabilizes the soil while still providing an outlet for drainage. Preventing soil erosion is critical in protecting your property and exposed soil, whether from wind, weather, running water, and even the after-effects of the forest fire.

Answer : 2. "480 kms"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 480 kms Explanation: Now, the distance covered by Chennai express in 2 hrs = 60 x 2 = 120 kms Let the Charminar Express takes 't' hrs to catch Chennai express => 80 x t = 60 x (2 + t) => 80 t = 120 + 60t => t = 6 hrs Therefore, the distance away from Hyderabad the two trains meet = 80 x 6 = 480 kms.

Answer : 2. "0"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 0 Explanation: = log tan10+log tan890 + log tan20+ log tan880+⋯⋯+log tan450 = log [tan10 × tan890] + log [tan20 × tan880 ] +⋯⋯+log1 ∵ tan(90-θ)=cotθ and tan 450=1 = log 1 + log 1 +.....+log 1 = 0.
