1234567 Answered Review 1. Question 1 points Which of the following statement is/are correct about Hyperloop system of transportation?
It is a system of magnetically levitating capsules (pods) sent through tubes. Low air resistance allows the pod to travel faster than conventional trains. It is faster than fastest high-speed rail and has less direct emissions and noise compared to railways. Select the correct answer using the code given below.
1 only 1 and 2 only 2 and 3 only 1, 2 and 3 Incorrect Statements 1 and 2 are correct. It is system of magnetically levitating capsules (pods) that are sent at high speeds through low-pressure tubes. It envisages tube modular transport system that runs free of friction. It uses linear Induction motors in it to control speed of pods. The low air resistance allows the pod to travel faster than conventional trains.
Hyperloop is two-to-three times faster than fastest high-speed rail and claimed to have speeds even greater than commercial air travel. It has smaller civil engineering footprint, with no direct emissions or noise compared to railways. Hyperloop system’s capital cost per mile is 60% that of high-speed rail, and is less expensive to operate. Furthermore, Hyperloop departures could happen with a low frequency of a pod every 20 seconds which is not possible in railways. Hence, the statement 3 is incorrect.
A feasibility analysis by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) estimates that Hyperloop routes could be up to six times more energy efficient than air travel on short routes, and over three times faster than the world’s fastest high-speed rail system
2. Question 1 points Consider the following statements:
Exoplanets orbit the Sun and different stars. NASA’s K2 mission was launched to hunt for exoplanets. Which of the statements given above is / are correct?
1 only 2 only Both 1 and 2 Neither 1 nor 2 Correct Statement 1 is incorrect. Exoplanet is a planet that does not orbit Sun and instead orbits different star, stellar remnant, or brown dwarf. It is also termed as extrasolar planet. The first such planet orbiting star similar to our own Sun was detected only in 1995. Today some 3,600 exoplanets have been found, ranging from rocky Earth-sized planets to large gas giants like Jupiter.
Statement 2 is correct. NASA had launched Kepler spacecraft in 2009 to hunt for exoplanets in single patch of sky. The spacecraft had crippled the telescope in 2013 due to mechanical failure. However, by changing its field of view periodically, astronomers and engineers had then devised way to repurpose and save the space telescope which had paved way for K2 mission. The telescope hunts exoplanet transits by registering dips in light caused by shadow after it crosses in front of its host star.
3. Question 1 points How many countries does Iran share a border with?
6 7 5 8 Incorrect How many countries does Iran share a border with?

4. Question 1 points Consider the following statements:
The Convention on Biological Diversity is an outcome of Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro on 5 June 1992. The ‘Aichi Target’ is an outcome of the Cartagena Protocol. Which of the statements given above is /are correct?
1 only 2 only Both 1 and 2 Neither 1 nor 2 Correct Statement 1 is correct. The Convention was opened for signature on 5 June 1992 at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the Rio “Earth Summit”). It remained open for signature until 4 June 1993, by which time it had received 168 signatures. The Convention entered into force on 29 December 1993, which was 90 days after the 30th ratification.
The Convention on Biological Diversity was inspired by the world community’s growing commitment to sustainable development. It represents a dramatic step forward in the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.
Statement 2 is incorrect. The strategic plan which is outcome of the Nagoya Protocol is “Aichi Target”. It includes 20 headline targets, organized under five strategic goals that address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, reduce the pressures on biodiversity, safeguard biodiversity at all levels, enhance the benefits provided by biodiversity, and provide for capacity-building.

Seems you had not gone through the topics thoroughly. And might have enjoyed too much on 14feb 🙂
instead of taunting, you could have helped the guy.
bhai q dukhti rug pe hath rakh rhe ho , no dating no valentine for 2 years ,anyway ur cmnt was irrelevent
in question it is “less”
whereas there are ‘no’ direct emissions (no engine only) only indirect emissions from the vaccum pump etc.
You are right! All the best Gangadhar!
