- It was released by India Meteorological Department under Ministry of Science and Technology
Choose the correct statement(s):
Correct
Solution (a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect The atlas provides a range of vulnerability with risks ranging from nil, low, moderate, high and very high categories for every Indian district.

Consider the following statements:
- Sankaracharya propagated ‘Dvaita Vedanta’ and ‘Dashanami Sampradaya
- Brahman is the highest reality is the central theme of Sankaracharya’s writings
Choose the INCORRECT statement(s):
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Incorrect Sankaracharya propagated ‘Advaita Vedanta’ and ‘Dashanami Sampradaya’. According to his philosophy, Brahman – the ultimate, transcendent and immanent God of the latter Vedas – appears as the world because of its creative energy (māyā). The world has no separate existence apart from Brahman. Brahman is the highest reality is the central theme of Nimbarka’s writings Context – The birthplace of Sankaracharya is going to be declared a national monument soon.

Question 29 of 30
29. Question
In a certain code language, ‘3a, 2b, 7c’ means ‘Truth is Eternal’; ‘7c, 9a, 8b, 3a’ means ‘Enmity is not Eternal’ and ‘9a, 4d, 2b, 8b’ means ‘Truth does not perish’. Which of the following means ‘enmity’ in that language?
Correct
Solution (c)
In the second and third statements, the common code is ‘9a’ and the common word is ‘not’. So, ‘9a’ means ‘not’. In the first and second statements, the common codes are ‘7c’ and ‘3a’ and the common words are ‘is’ and ‘Eternal’. So, in the second statement, ‘8b’ means ‘enmity’.
Incorrect
Solution (c)

Question 30 of 30
30. Question
Read the following passage and answer the items that follow. Your answer to these items should be based on the passages only
Physics is a pure science that seeks to understand the behavior of matter without regard to whether it will afford any practical benefit. Engineering is the correlative applied science in which physical theories are put to some specific use, such as building a bridge or a nuclear reactor. Engineers obviously rely heavily on the discoveries of physicists, but an engineer’s knowledge of the world is not the same as the physicist’s knowledge. In fact, an engineer’s know-how will often depend on physical theories that, from the point of view of pure physics, are false. There are some reasons for this. First, theories that are false in the purest and strictest sense are still sometimes very good approximations to the true ones, and often have the added virtue of being much easier to work with. Second, sometimes the true theories apply only under highly idealized conditions which can only be created under controlled experimental situations. The engineer finds that in the real world, theories rejected by physicists yield more accurate predictions than the ones that they accept.
Q.30) Which one of the following is the most rational inference that can be drawn from the passage?
Correct
Solution (c)
The main idea of the given paragraph is that while engineers rely heavily on discoveries of physicists, an engineer’s know-how is shaped by conditions in the real world. Option c sums up this idea well.
Option a, ignores the key idea of the paragraph –the relationship between physics and engineering—and only talks of the “unique task of the engineer”. So, option a is not a good summary of the paragraph.
Option b labels the relationship between pure and applied science as “strictly linear”: this too, is clearly incorrect based on the contents of the given paragraph.
Option d is also incorrect, as it states that engineering and physics “fundamentally differ”.
