Hello All,

The Group usage here is a little cumbersome, so I am creating this thread to make sure that all questions with doubts stay in one place. Can someone push all the doubts and queries here? I will make this an announcement?

@ranahere999 you wrong here. Geotail is phenomenon due to which chandrayan 2 is able to detect charged particle .
The CLASS instrument on Chandrayaan-2 is designed to detect direct signatures of elements present in the lunar soil. This is best observed when a solar flare on the Sun provides a rich source of x-rays to illuminate the lunar surface; secondary x-ray emission resulting from this can be detected by CLASS to directly detect the presence of key elements like Na, Ca, Al, Si, Ti and Fe. So geotail is helping which is detected by class. If there was no geotail class would not able to detect it.
Geotail:- phenomenon
Class:- I strument

@Thinker 

Sir w.r.t Question no 31 of test 25.

Option 3 is marked as incorrect..

However it's correct since 6 indian cities are members of C40.

https://www.c40.org/blog_posts/chennai-becomes-6th-indian-city-to-join-c40

.

In various news articles that came in October regarding this news,they were factually incorrect and this is from the official website of c40 itself.

Thanks

The answer is given as (a) i.e. 2 and 3 only are correct.

Oh sorry.. my fault.

It's talking about Geotail "Region".. and that region certainly Helped in detection of charged particles.

If moon would not have passed from that region of Geotail.. would the CLASS instrument be able to detect Charged particles on the moon..? Certainly not!


And this regionhelped chandrayan's CLASS instrumentin detection of charged particles.

Did it detect? No.

Did it helped in detection? Yes.

Q11) TEST25

In the statement 2 it says Developed through a collaborative process including key stakeholders such as MHRD, the World Bank and sector experts in the niti aayog  but the statement is out of context because it is in continuation of intro in Niti page which obviously state Niti aayog is part of it including other stakeholders. (https://niti.gov.in/content/school-education-quality-index ) .So it is self implied that Niti aayog itself is part of it.the report is launched and published by Niti aayog . So its obvious to include Niti aayog which is missing in statement 2.

The report (seqi 2019) itself confirms that and mhrd ministry also gave contribution to mhrd and Niti aayog. So correct option should be only1.

‘It was developed through acollaborative process includingkey stakeholders such as the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), the World Bank and sector experts.’ How can you state that the statement is wrong? Had the statement mentionedonlyMHRD and Wolrd Bank and sector experts then the statement could have been considered wrong. The statement as given in the Q 11, thus stands true.

T25Q42 - Statement2: Quantum Supremacy refers to quantum computers being able to solve a problem that a Classical Computer cannot.

'Sycamore' has finished the task assigned to it in 200 seconds, which usually takes 10000 years when assigned to a classical computer - 'Summit(supercomputer)' in this case.

Isn't this state absolute negation (of classical computers ability)?

@Thinker 

In quantum computing, quantum supremacy is the goal of demonstrating that a programmable quantum device can solve a problem that classical computers practically cannot (irrespective of the usefulness of the problem). This is the basic definition of Quantum Supremacy. 
A Quantum Computer can either complete the task in a speedy manner or can do tasks that a classical computer cannot process. 

The Question's statement directly asks about Quantum Supremacy. 

Recently, For the first time ever, a quantum computer has performed a computational task that would be essentially impossible for a conventional computer to complete, according to a team from Google. Google's scientists are hailing the achievement as the first demonstration of what's known as "quantum supremacy." The phrase was coined in 2012 by John Preskill, a theoretical physicist at Caltech, to describe the point at which quantum computers can do things that classical computers simply can't.

Test 27, Question 6, Lehman discontinuity is at the height of 220km, how can it be bellow gutenberg discontinuity as suggested by option a 2>1>4>3. It should either be option D or the question is ambiguous. 


Ques 39, how is statement 2 incorrect ( Air ,water carry debris with them), i think answer should be option C 1 and 2

Please refer to standard sources rather than random information available on the net. CCRT, NIOS, and even NCERT mentions it. Anyways I am attaching a link on NIOS to clarify doubts. https://www.nios.ac.in/media/documents/SecICHCour/English/CH.09.pdf

For Q 39 the answer has been given by@TheMiddlePath above.

For Q27 NCERT and NIOS bothe mentions so. Wikipedia presents a debate regarding Lehman discontinuity which has not been ascertained yet. Hence answer given in original key stands true.
