Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
Pelicans are birds. There are more than half a dozen species of pelicans. All of them have the sack for which the birds are best known all over the world. The sack is like a big bag of skin hanging under their bill, or their mouth. These large carnivorous birds use them to catch fish. Many pelicans fish by swimming in a group. They may form a line or a "U" shape and drive fish into shallow water by beating their wings on the surface. When the fish collect in the shallows, the pelicans simply scoop them up. The brown pelican, on the other hand, dives on the fish from above and traps them in its bill. Pelicans do not store fish in their pouch, but simply use it to catch them and then tip it back to drain out water and swallow the fish immediately. The American white pelican can hold some 11.5 litres of water in its bill. Young pelicans feed by sticking their bills into their parents' throats to retrieve food.
Along with giant pouch, pelicans are large birds with short legs, and they appear rather clumsy on land. Once in water, they are strong swimmers, thanks to their webbed feet. This means that webbing connects all four of their toes, even the back toe.
Pelicans are found on many of the world's coastlines and also along lakes and rivers. They travel in flocks. They also breed in groups called colonies, which typically gather on islands. The average life span of pelicans in the wild is about 10 to 25 years and their average body size is about 1.8 metres but when they open their wings their wingspan is around 3 metres. These large birds usually weigh around 13 kg.
Pelicans usually live __________.

The assault on the purity of the environment is the price that we pay for many of the benefits of modern technology. For the advantage of automotive transportation we pay a price in smog-induced diseases; for the powerful effects of new insecticides, we pay a price in dwindling wildlife and disturbances in the relation of living things and their surroundings; for nuclear power, we risk the biological hazards of radiation. By increasing agricultural production with fertilizers, we worsen water pollution.
The highly developed nations of the world are not only the immediate beneficiaries of the good that technology can do, they are also the first victims of environmental diseases that technology breeds. In the past, the environmental effects which accompanied technological progress were restricted to a small area and a relatively short time. The new hazards are neither local nor brief. Modern air pollution covers vast areas of continents: Radioactive fallout from the nuclear explosion is worldwide. Radioactive pollutants now on the earth surface will be found there for generations, and in case of Carbon-14, for thousands of years.

2. Food, water and fodder should immediately be sent to all these areas to save the people and cattle
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
In the break-out of a natural calamity, the basic duty of the government becomes to provide the basic amenities essential to save the lives of people and cattle. Providing financial assistance to all would put undue burden on the country's resources. So, only II follows.

Choose the correct alternative from the following.
Assertion (A) : Eskimos reside in igloos.
Reason (R) : No other material except snow is available.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: A is true but R is false.
Eskimos do build igloos of snow, so A is true. But the reason given is wrong: they also use driftwood, whalebone, stone and animal skins, and the igloo is a winter hunting shelter rather than the only thing they can build. R is false.

(iv). The last program to be operated on any day must be either S or U.
Which of the following is true of any day's valid program set operation ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Clearly, if R is operated at the fourth place, V must be operated somewhere after it. This is not possible since the fifth program is the last one which has to be either S or U. So, R cannot be operated at the fourth Place.
The following question is based on the following alphabet series.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
If the above alphabet are divided in two equal halves -- from A to M and N to Z, which letter in the later half would be corresponding to the letter J ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: w
The halves are A to M and N to Z, thirteen letters each, so a letter's position within its own half is what corresponds.
J is the 10th letter of the first half. The 10th letter of the second half is
\[ 13 + 10 = 23 \rightarrow W \]
Counting within the half rather than from A is the step the question is testing, and it works because the two halves are of equal length.

Pelicans usually live __________.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Pelicans usually live near water bodies, the first option.
The passage says pelicans 'are found on many of the world's coastlines and also along lakes and rivers'. Their fishing, swimming and webbed feet all belong to a life around water.
'In colonies' is wrong because the passage uses colonies for breeding groups, which gather on islands, and says they travel in flocks. 'Near cities' is never mentioned. 'In North America' is too narrow: the passage places pelicans on coastlines all over the world, and the American white pelican is named only as one species.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: caused imbalance in the relationship between living beings and their environment
The passage names two prices paid for insecticides: dwindling wildlife and disturbances in the relation of living things and their surroundings. The first option takes only half of that pair, and the second reverses the passage, which treats insecticides as a cost rather than a cure.
Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech. Bindu said, "I'm very tired now."
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The reported speech is 'Bindu said that she was very tired then.'
In reported speech after 'said' (past) the present 'am' changes to 'was', 'I' becomes 'she' and 'now' becomes 'then'.
Options B and D keep 'is', and C and D use the faulty 'was been' and 'is been'.
Several changes are needed for reported speech: the tense moves back (am becomes was), the pronoun moves from 'I' to 'she', and the time word 'now' becomes 'then'. Only option A makes all three changes correctly without adding extra words.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 10 To 11 ] :
What is a function inside another function is called ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Nested Function
A function used as an argument of another function is nested - for example =IF(SUM(A1:A5)>100,"High","Low"), where SUM is nested inside IF. Excel evaluates the inner function first and passes its result outward. SUM, ROUND and the text functions are individual functions, not a category.
What is the full form of "RAM"?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Random Access Memory
RAM is Random Access Memory - any location can be reached in the same time, as against the sequential access of tape. It is volatile, so it loses its contents when power is removed.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 12 To 20 ] :
Which of the following is not associated with prose or poetry of Rajasthan ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The one not associated with Rajasthani prose or poetry is Hathimana.
Rupak and Jhoolana (jhulna) are forms of Rajasthani verse. Rupak is a Dingal poetic genre in which a ruler or event is celebrated, and the jhulna is a sung metrical form. Khyal is Rajasthan's folk drama, whose text is composed and performed in verse, so it too belongs to the state's poetic tradition.
Hathimana is not one of the recognised genres of Rajasthani literature, such as khyat, vat, vachanika, veli, raso and rupak, which is why it is the odd one out.
Which of the following countries has a Presidential form of government ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The country with a presidential system is Argentina.
In Argentina the President is directly elected, is both head of state and head of government, and is not responsible to the legislature, the marks of a presidential system.
Belgium and Australia are parliamentary systems with a monarch as head of state, and Israel is a parliamentary republic in which the government depends on the Knesset.
Most of Latin America follows the presidential model of the United States, while most of Europe and the Commonwealth follow the parliamentary model.
Cod, haddock, halibut, sole, garoupa and snapper are
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Cod, haddock, halibut, sole, garoupa and snapper are all varieties of fish, and specifically demersal ones - species that live and feed near the sea bed.
They are taken with trawls dragged along the bottom, unlike the pelagic species caught in mid-water.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Organisms need nutrients to build tissue and release energy.
Carbohydrates and fats supply energy, proteins supply the material for growth and repair, and vitamins and minerals let the reactions proceed. Every organism needs both a source of energy and a source of building material.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)

The World Tuberculosis Day is observed on which date?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
World Tuberculosis Day is observed on 24 March.
Robert Koch announced his discovery of the tubercle bacillus on that date in 1882. Tuberculosis still kills about 1.3 million people a year, more than any other single infectious disease after COVID-19.
The Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world, lies in the delta of which rivers?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: The Ganga and the Brahmaputra
The Sundarbans occupies the delta of the Ganga and the Brahmaputra, shared between West Bengal and Bangladesh. It is the largest mangrove forest in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its name is usually taken from the sundari tree that dominates it. The forest is a maze of tidal creeks and low islands, flooded twice daily, and the mangroves survive the salt by excluding it at the roots and excreting it through the leaves, standing on stilt roots with vertical pneumatophores that take in oxygen the waterlogged mud cannot supply. It is the only mangrove forest inhabited by tigers, and its Bengal tigers are unusual in swimming between islands. It also shelters saltwater crocodiles, the Ganges river dolphin and a great variety of birds. Its practical value is as a storm barrier: the tangled roots absorb cyclone surge and check coastal erosion, protecting Kolkata and the settlements behind it.
