Question 1192

Body temperature of a healthy human body is usually around:

A98.4 °C

B37 °C

C14.5 °C

D25 °C

Show answer

B. 37 °CThe normal body temperature of a healthy human being is approximately 37 °C, which is equivalent to 98.6 °F. This temperature is maintained through a balance between heat production and heat loss in the body. The body’s thermoregulation is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain to ensure proper functioning of enzymes and metabolic processes. Other options (for context) 98.4 °C: Incorrect — the correct equivalent in Fahrenheit is 98.6 °F, not in Celsius. 14.5 °C: Much lower than the human body temperature — such a value would indicate hypothermia or death. 25 °C: Represents a mild room temperature, not body temperature.

Question 1191

One (1) molecule of CFC deplete __________ molecule of Ozone in the Ozonosphere.

A1,00,000

B10,000

C10,00,000

DNo one of the above

Show answer

A. 1,00,000One molecule of a Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) can destroy up to 1,00,000 molecules of ozone (O₃) in the ozone layer. When CFCs reach the stratosphere, they are broken down by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, releasing chlorine atoms. Each chlorine atom acts as a catalyst in the breakdown of ozone molecules, significantly depleting the protective ozone layer that shields Earth from harmful UV rays. Other options (for context) 10,000: Underestimates the destructive potential of a single CFC molecule. 10,00,000: Overestimates the number of ozone molecules destroyed. No one of the above: Incorrect — the correct answer is 1,00,000 molecules of ozone.

Question 1189

Average distance of the earth from the Sun is:

A150 Million km

B15 Million km

C90 Million km

D900 Million km

Show answer

A. 150 Million kmThe average distance between the Earth and the Sun is approximately 150 million kilometers (or about 1 Astronomical Unit – 1 AU). This distance serves as a standard unit of measurement for describing distances within our solar system. Despite slight variations due to Earth's elliptical orbit, this average remains nearly constant and is crucial for maintaining suitable conditions for life on Earth. Other options (for context) 15 Million km: Far too close — the Earth would be extremely hot and uninhabitable. 90 Million km: Shorter than the actual average distance. 900 Million km: Much greater — about six times the real distance, closer to Saturn’s orbit.

AAgni

BAakash

CTrishul

DPrithvi

Show answer

D. PrithviExplanation: Prithvi was the first indigenously developed missile of India, designed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) launched in 1983 by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It is a surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. The Prithvi missile series includes Prithvi-I (Army version), Prithvi-II (Air Force), and Prithvi-III (Navy), with ranges varying from 150 km to 350 km.
