Question 947

Which of the following is used to express the speed of internet connectivity ?

AMb / sec

BMb

CHerz

DKb

Show answer

A. Mb / secExplanation: The speed of internet connectivity is expressed in Megabits per second (Mb/sec or Mbps). It indicates how much data is transferred per second over a network connection. One megabit equals 1,000,000 bits. Higher Mbps values mean faster internet speeds. For example, a 100 Mbps connection can transfer 100 million bits of data every second. Note that 1 byte = 8 bits, so internet speeds in Mbps differ from file sizes, which are usually measured in megabytes (MB).

Question 946

A transformer is used to :

AIncrease or decrease D.C voltage

BIncrease or decrease A.C voltage

CConvert A.C to D.C

DConvert D.C into A.C

Show answer

B. Increase or decrease A.C voltageExplanation: A transformer is an electrical device used to increase (step-up) or decrease (step-down) the voltage of alternating current (A.C.). It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction and functions only with A.C., not with D.C. A transformer consists of two coils—primary and secondary—wound around a soft iron core. The voltage ratio between these coils depends on the number of turns in each winding. Transformers are used in power transmission, distribution, and electronic devices to regulate voltage levels efficiently.

DAntarctica

Show answer

D. AntarcticaExplanation: Dakshin Gangotri is India’s first scientific research station established in Antarctica in 1983–84. It was set up by the Indian Antarctic Programme under the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR). Located about 2,500 km from the South Pole, it served as a base for scientific studies related to glaciology, meteorology, and environmental sciences. Though it is now buried under ice and functions as a supply base, it marked India’s permanent presence in Antarctica. Later stations include Maitri (1989) and Bharati (2012).
