Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Solution (a)
A spacecraft in Geosynchronous Orbit appears to remain above Earth at a constant longitude.

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
Consider the following statements:
- Eccentricity is a measure of how circular or elliptical an orbit is.
- Inclination is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the planet’s equator.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Solution (c)
Eccentricity is a measure of how circular or elliptical an orbit is.
Hence Statement 1 is correct.
Inclination is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the planet’s equator.
Nodes are points where an orbit crosses a reference plane, such as the ecliptic or the celestial equator.
Hence Statement 2 is correct.

6. Question
Which of these discoveries is a landmark evidence of Big Bang theory?
Correct
Solution (c)
- The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is electromagnetic radiation as a remnant from an early stage of the universe in Big Bang cosmology.
- The CMB is a faint cosmic background radiation filling all space that is an important source of data on the early universe because it is the oldest electromagnetic radiation in the universe, dating to the epoch of recombination.
Incorrect

Question 7 of 10
7. Question
With reference to neutrinos, Consider the following statements:
- There are two types of neutrinos, electron neutron and proton neutrino.
- Natural neutrinos are harmful as they generate radiation and can cause diseases.
- Neutrinos come from the sun (solar neutrinos) and other stars, cosmic rays that come from beyond the solar system, and from the Big Bang.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Solution (d)
Three types or “flavours” of neutrino exist: the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino.
Hence Statement 1 is incorrect.
Neutrino has a very tiny mass. It interacts very weakly with other matter particles and so weak that every second trillions of neutrinos fall on us and pass through our bodies unnoticed.
Hence Statement 2 is incorrect.
Neutrinos come from the sun (solar neutrinos) and other stars, cosmic rays that come from beyond the solar system, and from the Big Bang
Hence Statement 3 is correct.
