I always thought algae are cyno'bacteria'

@Aalsibalak go through this very selectively. I will personally focus more on pulses and related area only.. This is the best legit source that I got.. I hope this helps.

@Shailputri no no it is very well settled through Whittaker classification which is the most accepted one. Bacteria is prokaryote and algae is eukaryote. Totally different.

With reference to the management of the exchange rate system in India, consider the following statements:

1. Post-independence the Indian rupee was pegged to the pound sterling due to its historical links with the Britain.

2. At present, the dirty floating exchange rate system is being followed in India.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

(a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2


answer given is b but i think both statement are correct

With reference to Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology, which of the following statements are correct? (1) VLC uses electromagnetic spectrum wavelengths 375 to 780 nm. (2) VLC is known as long-range optical wireless communication. (3) VLC can transmit large amounts of data faster than Bluetooth, (4) VLC has no electromagnetic interference. Select the correct using the code given below: (a) 1, 2 and 3 only (b) 1, 2 and 4 only (c) 1, 3 and 4 only (d) 2, 3 and 4 only

This is prelims 2020 quesiton

Can someone help, as if how they arrived at correct answers. 

I am confused between option A and C. 

I went with A in the exam. Thinking 4th statemtn is such an extreme one.

I would go with C. The reasoning is that since it's visible light communication, it can't be long range. If there are physical obstacles, the light wouldn't be able to penetrate through them and so long range communication wouldn't be possible using visible light.

@Omen I also marked (a). In retrospect,

I. Statement (1), (2) and (4) are all facts. All can be wrong. Statement (3) is generic, can be true. Statement (1) says nanometre range wavelength which is not long range. Statement (2) says long range, which is contradictory. So (1) and (2) cannot be together. Eliminate (a) and (b). Therefore statement 4 is true. 

2. May be Visible light Communication is not similar to radio wave. So, not long range. Eliminate statement (2). Ans is option (c).

This relates to LiFi that was in news last year. Statement 4 is wrong because light which consists of photons carry no charge/mass and is not affected by EM interference. If it were affected, light would bend around magnets.

Should be C no? LiFi and associated technologies ka major limitation is that they are short range. Eliminating 2 leaves C.
