currently exploring a section of

The bell-shaped jellyfish

ridge along the Pacific Ocean floor off Costa Rica.

different species because nobody has seen types of this

earth sciences professor and hydrothermal vent specialist.
The scientists are

the ocean bottom with Jason II, a remotely controlled robotic

operated by WHOI. Using Jason's mechanical arms and a temperature probe, they logged water
of 335 degrees Celsius (635 degrees Fahrenheit) at the vent's opening.

"Despite the great temperature of the vent water, it doesn't boil until 390 C because
on the
ocean floor are so great, about 200 times the pressure at sea level," Klein said. The tremendous pressures
result from the weight of almost two miles of seawater

down from above.

Instruction: Arrange the following sentences in correct sequence (This question carries 5 mark)
Q 12.
Take the sensors in a car mirror: If there is a change of driver, the seat and the mirror usually have
to be re-adjusted.
Sensors accurately register the slightest temperature fluctuations, the tiniest changes to a magnetic
field, or barely perceptible air currents.
This is possible with the aid of a tiny chip in the key or a corresponding button on the dashboard;
the driver can move these into the correct position at the press of a single button.
In some cases, however, there are limits to their accuracy for instance when a sensor is supposed
to register a small fluctuation to a magnetic field in a place where a strong magnetic field already
exists.
It would be easier if the position of the seat and the mirror could be saved individually for each
driver.

Section II Reading Comprehension: Multiple Choice (This part carries 10 Marks)

Instruction: Read the Passage Carefully and Answer the Questions
The most important application of thorium is the production of nuclear power either as metal, oxide or alloy
and even in several compounds during the U 233 production process. In the non-energetic uses, the
production of gas light mantle and the use of thorium metal for imparting strength to magnesium metal can be
included. Due to its low work function and high electron emissivity, thorium has found applications in a number
of gaseous discharge lamps, photoelectric cells (when ultraviolet sensitivity is required) and as emitter in
monochromatic X-ray tubes.
The oxide has been found useful in a variety of areas. Perhaps the most recent potentially large-scale
nonenergy use found for thorium oxide is as hardener of nickel for space and metallurgical industry. Thorium
oxide, when properly prepared, is quite active as a catalyst for many chemical processes, like oil fractionizing
and sulfuric acid preparation. Its stability at high temperatures allow the use as a coating element for melting
crucibles.
Hazards of thorium or its compounds may generally be classed into three types, namely, radiological, chemical
and combustion.
Q 13. What is the most useful application of Thorium?
use it for making alloys
use it to generate electricity
use it to generate nuclear power
use it to generate U 233
Correct Answer : 3

Observers of global health and wellness trends in the beverage sector are beginning to notice an increasing
level of activity in India, a country that traditionally did not promise the level of awareness or uptake of health
and wellness beverages that has been associated with some other markets.
Why India?
Economic drivers: With strong economic drivers of consumer spending, India is a very different market from
that of the 1980s or 1990s.
With a GDP of USD800 billion and a GDP growth rate in 2005-06 of over 8 percent, India is now the third
largest economy in Asia. And this has not been the result of some freak surge in growth. Average GDP growth
of the last 10 years has been 6.5 percent per annum. And most significantly, the stepping up of GDP growth is
driven primarily by domestic demand rather than exports.
Demographic drivers: Macro economic factors tell only one part of the story. There are compelling
demographic trends in the country that promise new and sustained opportunities for beverage product
suppliers who can read right the signals.
The country boasts an expanding middle class that is currently 350 million strong (a population larger than the
total population of the United States or the European Union). Increased urbanization and rising disposable
incomes are creating new and large target markets for food and beverage products that go beyond commodity
status and command higher prices. The rapid growth in the retail sector (over 20 percent per annum) is just
one confirmation of the increasing buying power of this middle class.
There is today a growing health and wellness consciousness among consumers and an increasing importance
given to fitness and healthy lifestyle choices. Changing work and lifestyle habits leave less time for home
cooking and therefore spur demand for convenience and complete nutrition from meal replacements. There is
a greater inclination to self-care rather than medicate, a greater awareness of the functional benefits of
health beverages and a greater willingness to pay a premium for such beverages.
Q 18. Observers of global health and wellness trends in the beverage sector are beginning to notice an
increasing level of activity in India. This would mean
people are becoming very active in India
sales of health beverages is showing an increase
health and wellness is increasing in India
people are drinking more drinks
Correct Answer : 2

Your Answer : 3Status : WrongMarks : 0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q 19. How can you say that the growth of India is one of the highest in the world?
due to its decreasing consumerism
due to its increasing GDP
due to its growing population
due to its inflationary trends
