Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements Hybrid Motor developed by ISRO
- Unlike the conventional combinations, a hybrid motor uses liquid fuel and solid oxidizer.
- The motor uses Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer.
Choose the incorrect statements:
Correct
Solution (a)
Statement Analysis
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Correct · It is developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). · The hybrid motor is more efficient, greener and safer to handle and paves the way for new propulsion technologies for future missions.
· The technology demonstration paves the way for hybrid propulsion-based sounding rockets and an exciting platform for vertical landing experiments for spent-stage recovery.
· It is a hybrid motor which is a combination of solid fuel and liquid oxidizer.
· The motor used Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer. Context: Recently, with the assistance of the Liquid Propulsion Systems Center, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) tested a hybrid motor successfully at the ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC), Mahendragiri.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements about Dvorak technique
- The Dvorak technique is a cloud pattern recognition technique based on the development and decay of the tropical cyclone.
- It helps forecasters to do pattern recognition from the observed structure of the storm, locate its eye and estimate the intensity of the storm.
- This tool cannot help make any predictions, measure wind or pressure parameters associated with the cyclone.
Choose the correct statements:
Correct
Solution (a)
Statement Analysis
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Correct The Dvorak technique is a cloud pattern recognition technique based on a concept model of the development and decay of the tropical cyclone. Through this statistical technique, scientists measure the cyclone’s convective cloud pattern curved bands, eye and central dense or cold region and shear.
It is the Dvorak technique which gives the best estimates of the cyclone intensity, a vital component while issuing weather warnings.
Dvorak technique helps forecasters to do a pattern recognition from the observed structure of the storm, locate its eye and estimate the intensity of the storm This tool cannot help make any predictions, measure wind or pressure or any other meteorological parameters associated with the cyclone. But it is a guide to estimate the storm’s intensity and possible intensification — which is crucial for local administration in planning evacuation measures of coastal or other nearby residents. Context: The American meteorologist Vernon Dvorak passed away at the age of 100. Dvorak was an American meteorologist best credited for developing the Dvorak (read as Do-rak) technique in the early 1970s.
