Identify the correct statement/s from the following : Statement 'A' : The weight of water vapour per unit volume of air in specific temperature is called relative humidity. Statement 'B' : Specific humidity is the ratio of air water vapour content to its water vapour capacity at a given temperature.

Both statements are incorrect. Relative humidity is the ratio of water vapour present to the capacity at a given temperature, not just the absolute weight per unit volume. Specific humidity is the mass of water vapour per unit mass of moist air, not the ratio stated.

खालीलपैकी योग्य विधान/ने ओळखू : विधान (अ) : सागरी क्षेत्रात समतापरेषा एकमेकीस व अक्षवृत्तास जवळजवळ समांतर जातात. कारण (र) : सागरी स्थानांचे तापमान उंचीच्या परिणामापासून मुक्त असते. Identify the correct statement/s from the following : Assertion (A) : The isotherm lines remain almost parallel to one another and parallel to latitudes on oceanic surfaces. Reason (R) : Temperatures at maritime locations are free from effect of elevation.

Isotherms run parallel to latitudes on oceans because oceanic temperature distribution is relatively uniform and free from extreme topographical elevation effects.

खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान/विधाने बरोबर आहेत ? Which of the following statements is/are correct ?

Statement a is wrong because both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha can have nominated members (historically Anglo-Indians in LS, and art/science/literature members in RS, though Anglo-Indian nomination ended recently). Statement b is wrong because Anglo-Indians were nominated to Lok Sabha, not Rajya Sabha. Statement c is correct as there is no constitutional bar preventing a nominated member from becoming a Union Minister. Statement d is wrong because nominated members cannot vote in Presidential elections (though they vote in Vice-Presidential elections).

योग्य कथन/कथने ओळखा :

A democratic country may or may not be a republic (e.g., UK is a democracy but a monarchy, hence not a republic). India is both a democracy and a republic. Therefore, both statements a and b are correct.

योग्य कथन/कथने ओळखा :
