Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statement with respect to the Airships is not correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
• Statements (a), (b) and (d) are correct while statements (c) is incorrect: Airships are vertical-lift aircraft that use gas to float and steer in the air. Airships don’t fly – they float. Airships use gases which have density lower than atmospheric gases. (Helium balloons also use the same principle). They are bullet-shaped craft filled with helium or hydrogen. Airship has 3 main parts: a balloon-like hull, a gondola and a propulsion system. Airships can take off and land in various locations, without requiring runways or airports. Airships can carry large payloads in comparison to traditional aircraft.
Airships require less fuel and can travel for longer distances than other aircraft. Airships require the ability to vary their buoyancy to adjust for weight changes when picking up or dropping off loads.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith respect to the cells in human body, consider the following information:
Island Type Location
1. Loaita Reefs and atolls South China Sea 2. Niijima Volcanic island Pacific Ocean 3. Lynetteholm Continental island Southern Ocean In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Row 1 is correctly matched: Loaita Island, also known as Kota Island, has an area of 45 hectaresand is the 10th largest of the naturally-occurring Spratly Islands. The island is administered by the Philippines as part of Kalayaan, Palawan, and is also claimed by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Loaita Island fringes the Loaita Bank, which includes shoals and reefs, and its western side features calcarenite outcrops visible at low tide.
- Row 2 is correctly matched:Niijima, Japan: A new island that formed off the southern coast of Iwo Jima after an underwater volcanic eruption. The island’s continued growth shows that the volcanic activity is ongoing. Experts say that if the island is made of lava, it could remain intact. is a volcanic Japanese island administered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. It is one of the Izu Seven Islands, group of the seven northern islands of the Izu archipelago, and is located approximately 163 kilometres south of Tokyo
Row 3 is incorrectly matched:Lynetteholm is an artificial island in Copenhagen harbor approved by the Danish Parliament. The island will house 35,000 people and protect the city’s harbor from rising water. Lynetteholm, a one square mile artificial island, is being built to shield the low-lying Danish capital from storm surges, which are intensifying as sea levels rise.

- Area under ISA jurisdiction covers around 20% of the total area of the world’s oceans.
- All nations that ratify UNCLOS automatically become members of ISA.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement-I:
A lightning rod is an electrical conductor installed on building tops to divert lightning strikes.
Statement-II
Lightning prefers the path of least resistance, and the rod’s pointed shape creates a stronger electric field.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
Statements I and II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I: Lightning is a powerful electrical discharge that occurs when opposite charges build up in the atmosphere and break down the air’s insulating capacity.A lightning rod is an electrical conductor installed on building tops to divert lightning strikes. Lightning prefers the path of least resistance, and the rod’s pointed shape creates a stronger electric field, ionising the air and offering a route for the current to flow. The lightning rod is connected to a wire leading to the ground, where the electric charges dissipate. This process uses the earth as an infinite source of lower electric potential.
