Answer: C) Chile Explanation: The construction of the world’s largest optical telescope has started in northern Chile, which is expected to begin operating in 2024. The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is being built by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and will have a main mirror that is 39m in diameter. The telescope will be positioned on top of Cerro Armazones – a 3046-metre long mountain Chile. It will tackle a wide range of scientific challenges, including probing Earth-like exoplanets for signs of life, studying the nature of dark energy and dark matter, and observing the universe’s early stages to explore humans’ origins.

The amount of money you’ll get for a given amount of your country’s currency is based on internationally determined exchange rates. Exchange rates can be either fixed or floating. Fixed exchange rates use a standard, such as gold or another precious metal, and each unit of currency corresponds to a fixed quantity of that standard that should (theoretically) exist.

Answer: A) 200 mts Explanation: Length of train A = 48 x 9 x 5/18 = 120 mts Length of train B = 48 x 24 x 5/18 - 120 => 320 - 120 = 200 mts.

Answer: D) 13.742% gain Explanation: Let CP = 100,42 % increase => SP = 14210 % discount in SP => ((142 x 10)/100) = 14.2So 1st SP = (142 - 14.2) = 127.8, again 12 % discount in 1st SP ((127.8 x 11)/100) = 14.0582nd SP = (127.8 - 14.058) = 113.742, So finally CP = 100, SP = 113.742, => gain = 13.742%.

Answer: B) DNA Explanation: The nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes, which carry genetic information in a long molecule called DNA. Genes are regions of DNA that carry the code to control a particular cell activity or the production of a particular protein.

Answer: C) 3 Explanation: Given two lines are parallel pa+b=2 b=-pa+2..........(1) 3a+b=4 b=-3a+4 ...........(2) m1 = -p m2= -3 The condition for the two lines to be parallel is m1=m2 p = 3

Answer: A) Glass Explanation: Because the refractive index of glass is highest, light travels slowly in Glass.  We know that the speed of light depends on the refraction index. The higher the index of refraction is, the slower the speed of light is. R.I of air and vacuum = 0 (air is a teeny bit more but can be taken as 0) R.I of water = 1.33 R.I of glass = 1.4.   Hence, Light travels slowest in Glass.
