Question-1

The correct Answers is
ANS: C
Explanation:
As far as the knowledge present till date, Quarks are indivisible fundamental particles and are the key constitutents of Protons and Neutrons. Electrons on the other hand are made up of Leptons. These Quarks were first theorized by Murray Gell-Mann in 1968. There are six types of Quarks which are called as flavours – up, top, down, bottom, strange and charm. The M theory ( String Theory ) suggests that quarks might consist of tiny, vibrating strings but there is no clear evidence of it as on date.



Question-2

The correct Answers is
ANS: D
Explanation:
K2-18B is an exoplanet with confirmed presence of water vapors. However, the planet is not habitable due to its large size which makes it similar to Neptune rather than Earth. It orbits a dwarf red star and is present in the habitable zone of the planet.




Question-3

The correct Answers is
ANS: C
Explanation:
Google in a major breakthrough has claimed to reach quantum supremacy through its Sycamore processor. It solved a problem in 200 seconds which a normal computer might take 10000 years to solve. However, it doesn’t mean that they will be soon available for common usage. India on the other hand, doesn’t have even a single quantum computer. However, government launched a programme in 2018 called QuEST to accelerate research on quantum computers.



Question-4

The correct Answers is
ANS: D
Explanation:
Axolotl is an amphibian endemic to the Mexico and is being considered as a ray of hope for organ regeneration. It is able to grow back all parts of its body including the spinal bone and lens. It is edible and is consumed in Japan. It possess gills as well as lungs. In Aztec mythology, Axolotl is considered as a god.




Question-5


The correct Answers is
ANS: C
Explanation:
Bell Entanglement ( Quantum Entanglement ) has been recently photographed and thus proven experimentally. Bell entanglement was first suggested by Albert Einstein who himself refuted it by calling it as “spooky action at a distance”. However, John Stewart Bell proved it and refuted Einstein’s idea. While Einstein claimed the presence of hidden variables which are unknown to mankind to be applicable for untangling Quantum entanglement, Bell also ruled out this presence of hidden variables. Bell entanglement is useful in quantum computing and cryptography.
