3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Fly ash is a byproduct from burning pulverized coal in electric power generating plants.
- Fly ash is collected from the exhaust gases by electrostatic precipitators or bag filters.
- Fly ash has similar chemical composition that of the Portland cement.
Which of the above statement is/are correct?
Correct
Statement 1 and 2 are correct. Fly ash is a byproduct from burning pulverized coal in electric power generating plants. During combustion, mineral impurities in the coal (clay, feldspar, quartz, and shale) fuse in suspension and float out of the combustion chamber with the exhaust gases.
As the fused material rises, it cools and solidifies into spherical glassy particles called fly ash. Fly ash is collected from the exhaust gases by electrostatic precipitators or bag filters.
Statement 3 is incorrect. Although Fly ash resembles to Portland cement but it is chemically different.
Fly ash chemically reacts with the byproduct calcium hydroxide released by the chemical reaction between cement and water to form additional cementitious products that improve many desirable properties of concrete. All fly ashes exhibit cementitious properties to varying degrees depending on the chemical and physical properties of both the fly ash and cement.
Compared to cement and water, the chemical reaction between fly ash and calcium hydroxide typically is slower resulting in delayed hardening of the concrete.
Delayed concrete hardening coupled with the variability of fly ash properties can create significant challenges for the concrete producer and finisher when placing steel-troweled floors.

4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following is/are generally associated with Down Syndrome?
- Critical damage in the nervous system causing Paralysis
- Intellectual disability
- Characteristic facial appearance
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Correct
Down syndrome is a chromosomal condition that is associated with intellectual disability, a characteristic facial appearance, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy. All affected individuals experience cognitive delays, but the intellectual disability is usually mild to moderate.
Critical damage in the nervous system that causes Paralysis is not generally associated with Down Syndrome.

5. Question
1 pointsThe ‘Seeker’ technology, recently in the news, is associated with
Correct
India’s Supersonic cruise missile BrahMos was recently successfully flight-tested for the first time with an indigenous seeker. So far, the seeker, a critical technology in missiles, had come from Russia.
The seeker was developed by Research Centre Imarat (RCI), Hyderabad, in collaboration with other DRDO labs.

6. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statement is/are correct about the Cairns Group?
- It is a coalition of agricultural exporting countries.
- It is made up of only developing countries.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Correct
Statement 1 is correct. The Cairns Group is a coalition of 19 agricultural exporting countries which account for over 25 per cent of the world’s agricultural exports. During the current WTO Doha Round of negotiations the Group has continued to push for the liberalisation of trade in agricultural exports, a cause that unites the Group across language, cultural and geographic boundaries.
Statement 2 is incorrect. The Cairns Group made up of developed and developing countries across five continents, the Group is committed to achieving free and fair trade in agriculture that provides real and sustainable benefits for the developing world.
