a movement up along the supply curve
Explanation :
Like the law of demand, law of supply demonstrates quantities that will be sold at a certain price. But unlike the law of demand, the supply relationship shows an upward slope. This means that the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied. Producers supply more at a higher price because selling a higher quantity at an higher price Increases revenue.

A.
Co-ordinate Authority
B.
Delegated Authority
C.
Superior Authority
D.

Entomology
D.
Palynology
Ans:
Ecology
Explanation :

aggregate
Explanation :
Aggregate fruits are the group of fruitlets which develop from the multicarpellary, apocarpous ovary. Flowers; with apocarpous multiple gynoecium are apt to give rise to a number of fruits as there are a number of free ovaries, each capable of giving rise to one fruit. Berries are good example of such fruits.
[46] The threshold frequency is the frequency below which:
A.
photo current increases with voltage
B.
photo current decreases with voltage
C.
photo electric emission is not possible
D.
photo current is constant
Ans:
photo electric emission is not possible
Explanation :
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons by substances, especially metals, when light falls on their surfaces. The photoelectric effect will not occur when the frequency of the incident light is less than the threshold frequency as the electrons are unable to gain sufficient energy to overcome the electro-static barrier of the work function of the metal.

A.
Metamorphic rocks
B.
Intrusive rocks
C.

Ans:
Intrusive rocks
Explanation :
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of mol-ten rock material. There are two basic types: (a) intrusive igneous rocks such as diorite, gabbro, granite, peridotite and pegmatite that solidify below Earth's surface and (b) extrusive igneous rocks such as andesite, basalt, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite and scoria that solidify on or above Earth's surface,
[48] Who said that "Where there is no Law there will not be Liberty"?
A.
Karl Marx
B.
Plato
C.
Machiavelli
D.
John Locke
Ans:
John Locke
Explanation :
John Locke, in the 6th Chapter of his Second Treatise of Civil Government, said: So that, however it may be mistaken, the end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom: for in all the states of created beings capable of laws, where there is no law, there is no freedom: for liberty is, to be free from restraint and violence from others"
[49] The UNIX operating system is suitable for:
A.
Multi user
B.
Real-Time Processing
C.
Distributed Processing
D.
Single user
Ans:
Multi user
Explanation :
UNIX is a popular Inuit user, multitasking operating system developed at Bell Labs in the early 1970s. Created just a handful of progranmers, UNIX was designed be a small, flexible system used exclusively by programes. It was designed to portable, multi-tasking and multi-user in a time sharing configuration.
[50] Section of IPC, which deals with LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community is:
A.
377
B.
376
C.
370
D.
None of these
Ans:
377
Explanation :
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community comes under Homosexual intercourse, a criminal fence under Section 377 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The section criminalises sexual activities "against the order nature." Exam Time – (1st Sitting)
Explanation :
The Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) an armed force formed by Indian nationalists in 1942 in South-east Asia during World War II. Initially formed in 1942, immediately after the fall of Singapore under Mohan Singh, the first INA collapsed in December that year before it was revived under the leadership of Subhas Chandra Bose in 1943 and proclaimed the Provisional Government of Free India.
[40] The production, marketing, storage, advertisement and consumption of smokeless tobacco is banned in:
A.
Assam
B.
Arunachal Pradesh
C.
Nagaland
D.
Meghalaya
Ans:
Assam
Explanation :
Assam, in February 2014, became the first state to legally ban consumption of all forms of smokeless tobacco, including pan masala containing tobacco and nicotine, through an act. Smokeless tobacco accounts for 901°x of oral cancers, the act also bans the manufacture, advertisement, trade, storage, distribution and sale of the substances.
[41] The pair of compounds used as an aesthetic in medicines:
A.
Ether, Ammonia
B.
Nitrous oxide, Chloroform
C.
Chloroform, Nitrogen dioxide
D.
Nitrogen dioxide, ether
Ans:
Nitrous oxide, Chloroform
Explanation :
Nitrous oxide is one of the more well-known anesthetic gases, and has been in use for around 200 years. Unlike some other anesthetics, this compound can be used both for inducing unconsciousness and pain control. Chloroform is more potent and more toxic than ether. Its use as an a esthetic decreased with increased experience and knowledge of its dangers.
[42] In relation to the State Government, local government exercises:
A.
Co-ordinate Authority
B.
Delegated Authority
C.
Superior Authority
D.
Independent Authority
Ans:
Delegated Authority
Explanation :
In the Indian context, local government has only a derivative and not an independent authority. Its powers and functions are determined by the State Legislature. So among the given options, delegated authority is the most appropriate.
[43] Study of organisms in relation to their environment is called:
A.
Ecology
B.
Zoology
C.
Entomology
D.
Palynology
Ans:
Ecology
Explanation :
Ecology is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment, such as the interactions organisms have with each other and with their biotic environment. Topics of interest to ecologists include the diversity, distribution, amount (biomass), number (population) of organisms, as well as competition between them within and among eco-systems.
[44] Who is known as the Father of 'Indian Unrest'?
A.
Bal Gangadhar Tilak
B.
Lalalajpat Rai
C.
Aurobindo Ghosh
D.
Bipin Chandrapal
Ans:
Bal Gangadhar Tilak
Explanation :
The British colonial authorities called Bal Gangadhar Tilak "Father of the Indian unrest.' He roused the nation's consciousness for complete independence (famously thundering "Swaraj (total freedom) is my birth-right and I shall have it") and was revered as Lokmanya ("the one respected/loved by people/world").
[45] The type of fruit obtained from a multicarpillary, apocarpous gynoecium is:
A.
composite
B.
aggregate
C.
simple
D.
multiple
Ans:
aggregate
Explanation :
Aggregate fruits are the group of fruitlets which develop from the multicarpellary, apocarpous ovary. Flowers; with apocarpous multiple gynoecium are apt to give rise to a number of fruits as there are a number of free ovaries, each capable of giving rise to one fruit. Berries are good example of such fruits.
[46] The threshold frequency is the frequency below which:
A.
photo current increases with voltage
B.
photo current decreases with voltage
C.

Explanation :
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons by substances, especially metals, when light falls on their surfaces. The photoelectric effect will not occur when the frequency of the incident light is less than the threshold frequency as the electrons are unable to gain sufficient energy to overcome the electro-static barrier of the work function of the metal.
