Question 1773

In India which is the most widely used form of renewable energy ?

AGeothermal energy

BHydro-electric energy

CSolar energy

DThermal energy

Show answer

C. Solar energyIn India, the most widely used form of renewable energy is Solar Energy. Due to the country’s tropical location, India receives abundant sunlight throughout the year, making solar power a highly viable and sustainable energy source. It is harnessed using solar panels for electricity generation and heating applications under initiatives like National Solar Mission. Geothermal energy: Used only in limited pilot projects.Hydro-electric energy: Important but not as rapidly expanding as solar.Thermal energy: Usually refers to non-renewable coal-based power plants.

Question 1772

In your opinion which of the following is due to ozone hole ?

AIncreased UV radiation

BAcid rain

CGlobal warming

DGreenhouse effect

Show answer

A. Increased UV radiationThe ozone hole leads to an increase in ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface. The depletion of the ozone layer, caused by chemicals like CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), reduces its ability to block harmful UV rays. This can result in health issues such as skin cancer, cataracts, and also harm to crops and marine ecosystems. Acid rain: Caused by sulphur and nitrogen oxides, not ozone depletion.Global warming: Caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat.Greenhouse effect: Natural process intensified by CO₂, not related to ozone loss.

Question 1771

In organic farming:

Aintercropping is not used

Bmanures are not used

Cbiofertilizers are not used

Dchemical fertilizers are not used
