Q: Monitor of a computer is:

A: Input device

B: Output device

C: Input/Output device

D: None of these



Correct Option: B  [ Output device ]

Remark:

Explanation: A monitor is an output device that displays text, images, and videos generated by the computer. It allows users to visually view the processed data. Common types of monitors include LCD, LED, and OLED screens.


Q: Which of the following diseases is caused by virus ?

A: Cholera

B: Typhoid

C: Tuberculosis

D: Small Pox



Correct Option: D  [ Small Pox ]

Remark:

Explanation: Smallpox is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by the Variola virus. It is characterized by high fever, fatigue, and a distinctive pustular rash on the skin. Smallpox was one of the most devastating diseases in human history, but thanks to the worldwide vaccination campaign led by the World Health Organization (WHO), it was officially eradicated in 1980. The vaccine for smallpox was first developed by Edward Jenner in 1796.


Q: Norman E. Borlaug is associated with

A: Green Revolution

B: White Revolution

C: Pink Revolution

D: Blue Revolution



Correct Option: A  [ Green Revolution ]

Remark:
Norman E. Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 in recognition of his contributions to global food production.


Q: If we add salt to pure water, its boiling point will

A: increase

B: decrease

C: remains same

D: None of the above



Correct Option: A  [ increase ]

Remark:

Explanation: When salt is added to pure water, its boiling point increases. This phenomenon is known as boiling point elevation, a colligative property. The presence of dissolved salt particles reduces the vapor pressure of water, requiring a higher temperature for it to boil.


Q: Alcohol contains :

A: nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen

B: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

C: oxygen, carbon, nitrogen

D: hydrogen, chlorine, oxygen



Correct Option: B  [ carbon, hydrogen, oxygen ]

Remark:

Explanation: Alcohols are organic compounds composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). They are characterized by the presence of one or more hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups attached to a carbon atom. The general formula of alcohols is CnH2n+1OH. A common example is ethanol (C₂H₅OH), which is used in beverages, fuels, and sanitizers. The -OH group makes alcohols polar, soluble in water (especially lower alcohols), and reactive in many organic reactions.


Q: Who is the first man to land on the Moon ?

A: Aldrin

B: Neil Armstrong

C: Michael Collins

D: Gagarin



Correct Option: B  [ Neil Armstrong ]

Remark:

Neil Armstrong was the first man to land on the Moon on July 20, 1969, during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. He became the first human to step onto the lunar surface, famously saying, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." His historic achievement marked a major milestone in space exploration.

Other options (for context)

  • Aldrin: Refers to Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon, who accompanied Armstrong on Apollo 11.
  • Michael Collins: The third member of the Apollo 11 crew, who orbited the Moon in the command module but did not land.
  • Gagarin: Refers to Yuri Gagarin, the first human to travel into space in 1961, but he never landed on the Moon.


Q: A concave lens always forms an image which is:

A: Real and erect

B: Virtual and erect

C: Real and inverted

D: Virtual and inverted



Correct Option: B  [ Virtual and erect ]

Remark:

Explanation: A concave lens always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image, regardless of the position of the object. The image formed appears on the same side of the lens as the object and is used in devices like spectacles for correcting short-sightedness (myopia).


Q: Which of the following is a communicable disease?

A: Measles

B: Scurvy

C: Asthma

D: Diabetes



Correct Option: A  [ Measles ]

Remark:

Explanation: Measles is a highly contagious viral disease caused by the measles virus (a member of the Paramyxovirus group). It spreads through droplets released when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms include fever, cough, rash, and watery eyes. Other diseases listed — scurvy, asthma, and diabetes — are non-communicable as they do not spread from person to person.


Q: Time during which a job is processed by the computer is:

A: Delay time

B: Real time

C: Down time

D: Execution time



Correct Option: D  [ Execution time ]

Remark:

Explanation: Execution time is the period during which a job or program is actively processed by the computer’s CPU. It refers to the actual time taken to execute instructions, excluding waiting or idle times such as input/output delays or queue time.


Q: Which among the following is respiratory pigment in human beings?

A: Melanin

B: Haemoglobin

C: Rhodopsin

D: Bilirubin



Correct Option: B  [ Haemoglobin ]

Remark:

Explanation: Haemoglobin is a complex iron-containing protein found in red blood cells (RBCs). It binds with oxygen in the lungs to form oxyhaemoglobin and releases it in tissues where oxygen levels are low. It also helps transport carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs. This oxygen-carrying property makes haemoglobin the essential respiratory pigment in humans and most vertebrates.
