Answer: C) Petrology Explanation: The scientific study of rocks is called petrology, which is an essential component of geology.

Resistivity : Resistivity is a measure of the resistance to the flow of electrons.  Conductivity : Conductivity is just the inverse of resistivity, σ = 1/ρ, where σ is conductivity and ρ is resistivity.   Example: Think of a pipe and water, the bigger the pipe, the easier water can flow and thus the lower the resistance.

Answer: C) 8 and 1 kmph Explanation: Downstream speed = 72km/8hrs  = 9 kmphupstream speed = 84km/12hrs = 7 kmphspeed of boat = avg of downstream and upstream speedsspeed of boat = (9+7)/2kmph = 8 kmph.current speed = half of the difference of downstream and upstream speedscurrend speed = (9-7)/2kmph = 1 kmph

Answer: B) 168 Explanation: we can select the 5 member team out of the 8 in 8C5 ways = 56 ways. The captain can be selected from amongst the remaining 3 players in 3 ways. Therefore, total ways the selection of 5 players and a captain can be made = 56x3 = 168 ways.   (or)   Alternatively, A team of 6 members has to be selected from the 8 players. This can be done in 8C6 or 28 ways. Now, the captain can be selected from these 6 players in 6 ways. Therefore, total ways the selection can be made is 28x6 = 168 ways.

Answer: B) 105 Explanation: First line will cut all other 14, similarly second will cut 13, and so onTotal = 14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 105.

Answer: D) Monsoon experiment Explanation: Monsoon experiment is abbreviated as MONEX.   The Monsoon Experiment is the core of the GARP Monsoon Subprogramme, which is a major international effort to achieve a better understanding of the Planetary monsoon circulation, the major seasonal perturbation of the general circulation of the atmosphere and the influence of the annual cycle of precipitation associated with the monsoon on the agriculture of the many populous nations of the region.   Hence, MONEX is associated with The Monsoon Experiment.

Answer: D) Small intestine Explanation: The small intestine is the main area of the GI tract for absorption.   The small intestine has three separate sections. Theyare : 1. The duodenum 2. Jejunum and 3. Ileum.   Hence, the majority of nutrient absorption occurs in the duodenum and jejunum of small intestine.

Answer: A) 23 Explanation: 23 chromosomes are in a human gamete. Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes(23 pairs) but a gamete(germ cell) gets half the amount, i.e. 23 chromosomes, (one from each pair). There will be half the number of chromosomes an organism has in its somatic cells (all other body cells except gametes).   For example in humans, the somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes which are the diploid number (2n) and each sperm and egg has 23 chromosomes where one of them is the sex chromosome.
