Answer: B) 1966 Explanation: The Green Revolution in India refers to a period of time when agriculture in India changed to an industrial system due to the adoption of modern methods and technology such as high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, tractors, pump sets, etc. Green revolution was started by Dr.M.S. Swaminathan.   The new agricultural strategy was adopted in India during the Third Plan, i.e., during 1960s. As suggested by the team of experts of the Ford Foundation in its report "India’s Crisis of Food and Steps to Meet it" in 1959 the Government decided to shift the strategy followed in agricultural sector of the country.   During the period of mid-1960s, Prof. Norman Borlaug of Mexico developed new high yielding varieties of wheat and accordingly various countries started to apply this new variety with much promise. Similarly, in the kharif season in 1966, India adopted High Yielding Varieties Programme (HYVP) for the first time.

Answer: D) 1/7 Explanation: Multiplicative inverse is nothing but a reciprocal of a number.  It is defined as one of a pair of numbers that when multiplied with another number equals the number 1. Multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 7 is  7 x n = 1 => n = 1/7.   Hence, Multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 7 is  1/7.

In a chemical reaction, substances (elements or compounds) called reactants are changed into other substances (compounds or elements) called products. Hence, reactants are those which start the chemical reaction.   For example: 1. In the burning of natural gas, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.   2. H2+O2 ----> H2O Here H2 & O2 are called Reactants and H2O is called Product.

Answer: A) Comb Explanation: Saw, Zipper and Gear have teeth but can bite us. Comb have teeth but cannot bite.

Answer: B) 2x^2 Explanation: In an algebraic expression, like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same powers. Calculating x-squared plus x-squared is a matter of combining like terms.  Now x^2 + x^2 = 2x^2   Hence, x-squared plus x-squared is equal to 2 times x squared.

Answer: A) Capillary action phenomenon Explanation: Blotting paper absorbs ink by the process of capillary action. The capillary action is based on the property of surface tension of liquid.   All unsized paper will absorb water. Blotting paper is not sized and made bulkier to provide capillary action for faster absorption of liquid.   Blotting paper has also been sold as a cosmetic to aid in the removal of skin oils and makeup.

Answer: C) 75 Explanation: In the question it is asked for 5% of 1500 5 x 1500/100 = 15 x 5 = 75.   Hence, 5% of 1,500 is equal to 75.
