Kanthapura
B.
The Serpent and The Rope
C.
The Chess Master and His Moves
D.
The Cat and Shakespeare
Ans:
Kanthapura
Explanation :
Raja Rao's novel Kanthapura (1938) is the first major Indian novel in English. It is a fictional but realistic account of how the great majority of people in India lived their lives under British rule and how they responded to the ideas and ideals of Indian nationalism. The book has been considered by many to be the first classic modern Indian writing in English and is thought of as one of the best, if not the best, Gandhian novels in English.
[22] What is the normal blood sugar level of a human being?
A.
Close to 10 mg/ml
B.
120 - 150 mg/dl
C.
80 - 90 mg/dl
D.
150 — 200 mg/dl
Ans:
120 - 150 mg/dl
Explanation :
The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal. The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis. The mean normal blood glucose level in humans is about 4 mM (4 mmol/L or 72 mg/dL, i.e. milligrams/deciliter); however, this level fluctuates throughout the day. Glucose levels are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day (termed “the fasting level”), and rise after meals for an hour or two by a few millimolar. Normal Human Glucose Blood Test results should be 70 - 130 (mg/ dL) before meals, and less than 180 mg/dL after meals (as measured by a blood glucose monitor). So we find that before meals, the highest end is 130 and after meals it is 180. So 120-150 mg/dl can be taken to be the range.
[23] Literal meaning of the term “Homo Sapiens” is -
A.
Man — The Wise
B.
Man — The Supreme
C.
Man — The Omnivore
D.
Man — The Fool
Ans:
Man — The Wise
Explanation :
Humans are primates of the family Hominidae, and the only extant species of the genus Homo. They originated in Africa, where they reached anatomical modernity about 200,000 years ago. The species binomial Homo sapiens was coined by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th century work Systema Naturae, and he himself is the lectotype specimen. The generic name Homo is a learned 18th century derivation from Latin homô “man”, ultimately “earthly being” (Old Latin hemô, a cognate to Old English guma “man”, meaning ‘earth’ or ‘ground’). The species-name sapiens means “wise” or “sapient”.

Banana is considered as good example of parthenocarpy because it produces flowers without fertilization and they are induced through the application of growth hormones and such fruits are seedless.
[12] Which one of these is a communicable disease?
A.
Diabetes
B.
Diphtheria
C.
Arthritis
D.
Cancer
Ans:
Diphtheria
Explanation :
Diphtheria is an upper respiratory tract illness caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a facultative anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium. Diphtheria is a contagious disease spread by direct physical contact or breathing the aerosolized secretions of infected individuals. Diphtheria toxin is produced by C. diphtheriae only when infected with a bacteriophage that integrates the toxin-encoding genetic elements into the bacteria.
[13] The concentration of which of the following decreases in anaemia?
A.
Haemoglobin
B.
Collagen
C.
Hyoglobin
D.
Myosin
Ans:
Haemoglobin
Explanation :
Anemia is a decrease in number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. However, it can include decreased oxygen-binding ability of each hemoglobin molecule due to deformity or lack in numerical development as in some other types of hemoglobin deficiency. Because hemoglobin (found inside RBCs) normally carries oxygen from the lungs to the capillaries, anemia leads to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in organs.

[22] What is the normal blood sugar level of a human being?
A.
Close to 10 mg/ml
B.
120 - 150 mg/dl
C.
80 - 90 mg/dl
D.
150 — 200 mg/dl
Ans:
120 - 150 mg/dl
Explanation :
The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal. The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis. The mean normal blood glucose level in humans is about 4 mM (4 mmol/L or 72 mg/dL, i.e. milligrams/deciliter); however, this level fluctuates throughout the day. Glucose levels are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day (termed “the fasting level”), and rise after meals for an hour or two by a few millimolar. Normal Human Glucose Blood Test results should be 70 - 130 (mg/ dL) before meals, and less than 180 mg/dL after meals (as measured by a blood glucose monitor). So we find that before meals, the highest end is 130 and after meals it is 180. So 120-150 mg/dl can be taken to be the range.
[23] Literal meaning of the term “Homo Sapiens” is -
A.
Man — The Wise
B.
Man — The Supreme
C.

D.
Man — The Fool
Ans:
Man — The Wise
Explanation :
Humans are primates of the family Hominidae, and the only extant species of the genus Homo. They originated in Africa, where they reached anatomical modernity about 200,000 years ago. The species binomial Homo sapiens was coined by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th century work Systema Naturae, and he himself is the lectotype specimen. The generic name Homo is a learned 18th century derivation from Latin homô “man”, ultimately “earthly being” (Old Latin hemô, a cognate to Old English guma “man”, meaning ‘earth’ or ‘ground’). The species-name sapiens means “wise” or “sapient”.

Humans are primates of the family Hominidae, and the only extant species of the genus Homo. They originated in Africa, where they reached anatomical modernity about 200,000 years ago. The species binomial Homo sapiens was coined by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th century work Systema Naturae, and he himself is the lectotype specimen. The generic name Homo is a learned 18th century derivation from Latin homô “man”, ultimately “earthly being” (Old Latin hemô, a cognate to Old English guma “man”, meaning ‘earth’ or ‘ground’). The species-name sapiens means “wise” or “sapient”.

[12] Which one of these is a communicable disease?
A.
Diabetes
B.
Diphtheria
C.
Arthritis
D.
Cancer
Ans:
Diphtheria
Explanation :
Diphtheria is an upper respiratory tract illness caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a facultative anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium. Diphtheria is a contagious disease spread by direct physical contact or breathing the aerosolized secretions of infected individuals. Diphtheria toxin is produced by C. diphtheriae only when infected with a bacteriophage that integrates the toxin-encoding genetic elements into the bacteria.
[13] The concentration of which of the following decreases in anaemia?
A.
Haemoglobin
B.
Collagen
C.
Hyoglobin
D.
Myosin
Ans:
Haemoglobin
Explanation :
Anemia is a decrease in number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. However, it can include decreased oxygen-binding ability of each hemoglobin molecule due to deformity or lack in numerical development as in some other types of hemoglobin deficiency. Because hemoglobin (found inside RBCs) normally carries oxygen from the lungs to the capillaries, anemia leads to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in organs.
[14] Dolly, the World's First cloned animal was a -
A.
sheep
B.
cow
C.
goat
D.
pig
Ans:
sheep
Explanation :
Dolly (5 July 1996 - 14 February 2003) was a female domestic sheep, and the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. She was cloned by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and colleagues at the Rollin Institute and the biotechnolov company PPL Therapeutics near Edinburgh in Scotland. The funding for Dolly's cloning was provided by PPL Therapeutics and the Ministry of Agriculture. She was born on 5 July 1996 and she lived until the age of six, at which point she died from a progressive lung disease.
[15] Vegetables are easily perishable because of their high content of -
A.
sugars
B.
water
C.
vitamins
D.
enzymes
Ans:
water
Explanation :
The perishability of food items depends a lot on their water content. High moisture decides their perishability or longer shelf life. Perishable food includes fruits and vegetables, fresh meat, foods purchased from chill cabinets, freshly cooked food stored to be used later. Vegetables normally contain more than 80-90 per cent water. Top vegetables by water content: Cucumber 96 %, Zucchini 95%, Spinach: 95 per cent, Tomato: 94 per cent, etc. Even potato contains about 79 per cent water in it.
[16] A universal recipient belongs to the blood group -
A.
AB
B.
O
C.
B
D.
A
Ans:
AB
Explanation :
Blood type AB is the universal recipient because individuals who have blood type AB does not have the antibodies. They do not have the anti-A or Anti-B antibodies. They can receive all types of blood types: A, B, O, AB.
[17] The vitamin that helps in blood clotting is -
A.
Vitamin C
B.
Vitamin D
C.
Vitamin E
D.
Vitamin K
Ans:
Vitamin K
Explanation :
Vitamin K is a necessary participant in synthesis of several proteins that mediate both coagulation and anticoagulation. Vitamin K deficiency is manifest as a tendency to bleed excessively. Vitamin K is found in a number of foods, including leafy greens, cauliflower and, liver. However, the chief source of vitamin K is synthesis by bacteria in the large intestine, and in most cases, absence of dietary vitamin K is not at all deleterious. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin and both dietary and microbial vitamin K is absorbed into intestinal lymph along with other lipids.
[18] The disease in which the sugar level of blood increases is known as -
A.
Diabetes mellitus
B.
Diabetes insipid us
C.
Diabetes imperfectus
D.
Diabetes sugarensis
Ans:
Diabetes mellitus
Explanation :
Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
[19] Which one of the following is not a mosquito borne disease?
A.
Dengue fever
B.
Filariasis
C.

The Government of India honoured Dev Anand with the Padma Bhushan in 2001 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2002 for his contribution to Indian cinema. Rekha and Shabana Azmi have not received this award so far. The Government of India honoured Dilip Kumar with the Padma Bhushan in 1991 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994 for his contributions towards Indian cinema.
[20] M.R.I. stands for -
A.
Metered Resonance Imaging
B.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
C.
Magnetic Reaction Imaging
D.
Metered Reaction Imaging
Ans:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Explanation :
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body in detail. MRT makes use of the property of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body. An WIRI scanner is a device in which the patient lies within a large, powerful magnet where the magnetic field is used to align the magnetization of some atomic nuclei in the body, and radio frequency fields to systematically alter the alignment of this magnetization.
[21] Raja Rao the famous Indian Novelist who died on 8 July 2006. The title of his first novel was -
A.
Kanthapura
B.
The Serpent and The Rope
C.
The Chess Master and His Moves
D.
The Cat and Shakespeare
Ans:
Kanthapura
Explanation :
Raja Rao's novel Kanthapura (1938) is the first major Indian novel in English. It is a fictional but realistic account of how the great majority of people in India lived their lives under British rule and how they responded to the ideas and ideals of Indian nationalism. The book has been considered by many to be the first classic modern Indian writing in English and is thought of as one of the best, if not the best, Gandhian novels in English.
[22] What is the normal blood sugar level of a human being?
A.
Close to 10 mg/ml
B.
120 - 150 mg/dl
C.
80 - 90 mg/dl
D.
150 — 200 mg/dl
Ans:
120 - 150 mg/dl
Explanation :
The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal. The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis. The mean normal blood glucose level in humans is about 4 mM (4 mmol/L or 72 mg/dL, i.e. milligrams/deciliter); however, this level fluctuates throughout the day. Glucose levels are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day (termed “the fasting level”), and rise after meals for an hour or two by a few millimolar. Normal Human Glucose Blood Test results should be 70 - 130 (mg/ dL) before meals, and less than 180 mg/dL after meals (as measured by a blood glucose monitor). So we find that before meals, the highest end is 130 and after meals it is 180. So 120-150 mg/dl can be taken to be the range.

[18] The disease in which the sugar level of blood increases is known as -
A.
Diabetes mellitus
B.
Diabetes insipid us
C.
Diabetes imperfectus
D.
Diabetes sugarensis
Ans:
Diabetes mellitus
Explanation :
Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
[19] Which one of the following is not a mosquito borne disease?
A.
Dengue fever
B.
Filariasis
C.
Sleeping sickness
D.
Malaria
Ans:
Sleeping sickness
Explanation :
Sleeping sickness is infection with germs carried by certain flies. It results in swelling of the brain, Sleeping sickness is caused by two germs, in 2007. The Government of India honoured Dev Anand with the Padma Bhushan in 2001 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2002 for his contribution to Indian cinema. Rekha and Shabana Azmi have not received this award so far. The Government of India honoured Dilip Kumar with the Padma Bhushan in 1991 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994 for his contributions towards Indian cinema.
[20] M.R.I. stands for -
A.
Metered Resonance Imaging
B.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
C.
Magnetic Reaction Imaging
D.
Metered Reaction Imaging
Ans:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Explanation :
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body in detail. MRT makes use of the property of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body. An WIRI scanner is a device in which the patient lies within a large, powerful magnet where the magnetic field is used to align the magnetization of some atomic nuclei in the body, and radio frequency fields to systematically alter the alignment of this magnetization.
[21] Raja Rao the famous Indian Novelist who died on 8 July 2006. The title of his first novel was -
A.
Kanthapura
B.
The Serpent and The Rope
C.
The Chess Master and His Moves
D.
The Cat and Shakespeare
Ans:
Kanthapura
Explanation :
Raja Rao's novel Kanthapura (1938) is the first major Indian novel in English. It is a fictional but realistic account of how the great majority of people in India lived their lives under British rule and how they responded to the ideas and ideals of Indian nationalism. The book has been considered by many to be the first classic modern Indian writing in English and is thought of as one of the best, if not the best, Gandhian novels in English.
[22] What is the normal blood sugar level of a human being?
A.
Close to 10 mg/ml
B.
120 - 150 mg/dl
C.
80 - 90 mg/dl
D.
150 — 200 mg/dl
Ans:
120 - 150 mg/dl
Explanation :
The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal. The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis. The mean normal blood glucose level in humans is about 4 mM (4 mmol/L or 72 mg/dL, i.e. milligrams/deciliter); however, this level fluctuates throughout the day. Glucose levels are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day (termed “the fasting level”), and rise after meals for an hour or two by a few millimolar. Normal Human Glucose Blood Test results should be 70 - 130 (mg/ dL) before meals, and less than 180 mg/dL after meals (as measured by a blood glucose monitor). So we find that before meals, the highest end is 130 and after meals it is 180. So 120-150 mg/dl can be taken to be the range.
[23] Literal meaning of the term “Homo Sapiens” is -
A.
Man — The Wise
B.
Man — The Supreme
C.
Man — The Omnivore
D.
Man — The Fool
Ans:
Man — The Wise
Explanation :
Humans are primates of the family Hominidae, and the only extant species of the genus Homo. They originated in Africa, where they reached anatomical modernity about 200,000 years ago. The species binomial Homo sapiens was coined by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th century work Systema Naturae, and he himself is the lectotype specimen. The generic name Homo is a learned 18th century derivation from Latin homô “man”, ultimately “earthly being” (Old Latin hemô, a cognate to Old English guma “man”, meaning ‘earth’ or ‘ground’). The species-name sapiens means “wise” or “sapient”.
[24] Which of the following is the largest living bird?
A.
Eagle
B.
Peacock
C.
Ostrich
D.
Kiwi
Ans:
Ostrich
Explanation :
Ostriches are the largest living species of bird. Ostriches usually weigh 200 to 285 pounds, although some male ostriches have been recorded with weights of up to 340 pounds.
[25] Which cell organelle is called the Master of the Cell?
A.
Endoplasmic reticulum
B.
Mitochondria
C.
Nucleolus
D.
Nucleus
Ans:
Nucleus
Explanation :
“Master of the cell” a status given to the nucleus for a good reason, as the nucleus is the most prominent and important cell organelle, the role of which is indispensable for all eukaryotic cells. Among other things, the nucleus contains the DNA, a “blueprint” for all cell functions.
Explanation :
Vitamin K is a necessary participant in synthesis of several proteins that mediate both coagulation and anticoagulation. Vitamin K deficiency is manifest as a tendency to bleed excessively. Vitamin K is found in a number of foods, including leafy greens, cauliflower and, liver. However, the chief source of vitamin K is synthesis by bacteria in the large intestine, and in most cases, absence of dietary vitamin K is not at all deleterious. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin and both dietary and microbial vitamin K is absorbed into intestinal lymph along with other lipids.
