Naphthalene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, C10H8, with a very high proportion of carbon, so the air around the flame cannot supply enough oxygen to burn all of it to carbon dioxide.

The Tropic of Capricorn runs at about 23.5 degrees south and misses Uruguay, which lies further south between roughly 30 and 35 degrees.

The balanced equation for the complete combustion of glucose is C6H12O6 plus 6O2 gives 6CO2 plus 6H2O, so one mole of glucose needs six moles of oxygen gas.

Ultraviolet light is a transverse wave, not a longitudinal one, so this statement is the wrong one. In an electromagnetic wave the electric and magnetic fields vibrate at right angles to each other and to the direction the wave travels, which is the definition of a transverse wave.

They are called the suicide bags of the cell because they are packed with digestive enzymes that can break down the cell's own material.

The Kolkata port, now named Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, stands on the Hooghly river about 200 kilometres inland from the Bay of Bengal, which makes it the only riverine major port in the country.

An alkene has a carbon-carbon double bond, and adding hydrogen across that bond turns it into the corresponding alkane.

In intercropping two or more crops are grown together on the same field at the same time, but sown in a definite pattern of rows, such as a few rows of soyabean between rows of maize, or bajra with lobia.

Nitrogen makes up about 78 per cent of the atmosphere, yet it is not a greenhouse gas. A molecule traps heat only if it can absorb outgoing infrared radiation, and that needs vibrations which change the spread of electric charge in the molecule.

When electricity is passed through a sealed tube holding neon at low pressure, the gas atoms are excited and give out a bright orange-red glow, which is why advertising signs are still called neon signs.

Goods and Services Tax is collected by the state where the goods or services are finally consumed, not by the state that produced them.

Emerald is the deep green variety of the mineral beryl, a beryllium aluminium silicate, so beryllium is part of its very formula.

It is trained for a single defined task and cannot transfer that skill to another; every system working today, from spam filters and voice assistants to chess engines and face recognition, is narrow AI.

Each word carries meaning: generative, because the model produces new text rather than only sorting what it is shown; pre-trained, because it first learns general language from a very large body of text before being adapted to particular tasks; and transformer, the neural network architecture, built on an attention mechanism…

The correct answer is B, NITI Aayog, which published the National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence in June 2018 under the slogan AI for All, and identified five priority sectors: healthcare, agriculture, education, smart cities and infrastructure, and smart mobility and transportation.

The correct answer is C, AlphaGo, built by DeepMind, which beat the South Korean Go champion Lee Sedol in a five-game match in 2016; the victory mattered because Go has far more possible positions than chess, so brute-force search alone cannot win and the program relied on deep neural networks…

The Cabinet decision of 7 March 2024 named this division as the implementing agency for all seven components of the mission.

The approved mission has seven components: IndiaAI Compute Capacity, the IndiaAI Innovation Centre, the IndiaAI Datasets Platform, the IndiaAI Application Development Initiative, IndiaAI FutureSkills, IndiaAI Startup Financing, and Safe and Trusted AI.

The Union Cabinet approved the IndiaAI Mission on 7 March 2024 with an outlay of 10,371.92 crore rupees, to be spent across its seven components, and the mission is run by the IndiaAI Independent Business Division under the Digital India Corporation in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

Here every training example carries the right answer, its label, and the model learns the mapping from input to label, which is how spam filters, handwriting readers and credit-scoring models are built.
