Of the four States listed, Tamil Nadu has the most seats in the Rajya Sabha, 18. The Council of States (Rajya Sabha) is the upper house of Parliament.

During the visit tied to the Joint Working Group meeting, the Indian delegation went to Mongolia's National Defence University and examined how the Cyber Security Training Centre, established there with Indian assistance, is functioning.

At the fourteenth Joint Working Group meeting in Ulaanbaatar, both delegations appreciated the successful conclusion of this exercise and treated it as evidence of how firmly the two armies have built their cooperation.

The fourteenth meeting of the Joint Working Group between the defence ministries of India and Mongolia took place in Ulaanbaatar, the Mongolian capital, on 16 October 2026, where the two delegations reviewed their running defence cooperation activities and identified new areas to work in.

A temperature in kelvin is the Celsius temperature plus 273 (more exactly 273.15). The Kelvin and Celsius scales have degrees of the same size, so a change of 1 °C equals a change of 1 K; only their zero points differ.

When actual (equilibrium) real GDP is below the output the economy could produce at full employment, the shortfall is called a recessionary gap.

Common fertilisers supply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK); iron is a micronutrient that is usually not part of them. Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in large amounts, so these are called primary macronutrients, and fertilisers such as urea, DAP, MOP and NPK mixtures are made to supply them.

Litmus is a natural dye extracted from certain lichens, especially species of Roccella. A lichen is a partnership between a fungus and an alga (or a cyanobacterium): the alga makes food by photosynthesis, while the fungus gives shelter and absorbs water and minerals.

An ammeter measures the electric current flowing in a circuit, in amperes. An ammeter is always connected in series with the part of the circuit whose current is to be measured, so that the whole current passes through it.

Convergence of different schemes and the use of ICT for real-time monitoring are both core strategies of POSHAN Abhiyaan. POSHAN Abhiyaan (Prime Minister's Overarching Scheme for Holistic Nourishment), also called the National Nutrition Mission, was launched on 8 March 2018 at Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan.

By origin, resources are either biotic, which come from living things, or abiotic, which come from non-living things. Biotic resources are obtained from the biosphere and have life: plants, animals, fish, livestock and human beings.

The ozone hole is a sharp seasonal thinning of the stratospheric ozone layer over Antarctica, caused mainly by chlorine from chlorofluorocarbons.

If you hold a current-carrying straight wire in your right hand with the thumb pointing along the current, your curled fingers show the direction of the magnetic field lines around it.

Potassium and barium exchange their partner ions: K₂SO₄ and BaCl₂ swap ions to give KCl and BaSO₄. In a double displacement reaction two compounds exchange ions.

Statements 1 and 2 are correct; statement 3 is wrong because zinc is more reactive than iron.

Too little fluoride weakens tooth enamel and makes teeth prone to decay, known as dental caries. Fluoride becomes part of the enamel as fluorapatite, which resists the acids made by mouth bacteria from sugars.

Quartz is crystalline silicon dioxide (SiO₂), an electrical insulator, not a semiconductor. A semiconductor has a conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator, and its conductivity rises with temperature or when impurities are added (doping).

With equal length and area, the wire of lower conductivity, aluminium, has the higher resistance. Resistance is R = ρl/A, where ρ is resistivity, and resistivity is the reciprocal of conductivity (ρ = 1/σ).

A candle gives light by burning wax, so it converts chemical energy, not electrical energy, into light and heat. In a burning candle the wax vapour combines with oxygen in the air; the chemical energy stored in the wax is released as heat and light.

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar founded the All India Scheduled Castes Federation at Nagpur in July 1942. The Federation was formed as a political party to fight for the rights of the Scheduled Castes as a separate group.
