The Utsav Bhoj Scheme incorporates several concepts that are essential to increase public participation in the mid-day meal programme.

Key Points  It was initially launched as The Bal Jivaan Yojana and went into effect on May 9, 2008. This scheme is now known as Utsav Bhoj.

• The Rajasthan government initiated this programme as an extension of the central government's midday meal programme, under which individuals in the community can offer food to children if they so desire.
• According to the circular, during the scheme's execution, the donor institution may provide food, utensils, gas stoves, carpets, and other materials to the school as required. Aside from that, a kitchen, toilet, water tank, and so on can be built in the school as needed.
• The school administration committee or the person in charge of the mid-day meal would examine the food to ensure that it is fresh and edible before delivering it to the children.

Thus, it can be inferred that the “UTSAV BHOJ” Yojana is the extension of Mid day meal scheme (MDM) of the central government by the Rajasthan government.

The correct answer is "can".

Key Points

• "Can" is the proper modal for the given sentence. The modal verb "can" conveys ability and opportunity.
• Example: We can change the fundamentals of democracy for the better.
• Example: We can uphold the rules of the land.
• Because it is illustrating possibility or impossibility, "can" is the most acceptable modal for the statement.
• Therefore, the complete sentence is: We can achieve anything with our willingness.

Additional Information

Let's know more about the remaining options:

• Might: "might" is used to express possibility or uncertainty.
• Example: I might go to the park later.
• It might rain tomorrow.
• Would: "Would" is used to express a possibility in the future or a past habit.
• Example: I would visit my grandparents every summer.

Shortcut Trick

Required number = LCM (10, 14, 12, 8) + Common Remainder

Prime factors of 10, 14, 12, 8 are used to find LCM.

LCM (10, 14, 12, 8) = 840

Required number = 840 + 7 = 847

∴ The correct answer is 847.

Alternate Method

Given: Divisors are 10, 14, 12, and 8. The remainder in each case is 7.

Formula Used: The least number which when divided by x, y, and z leaves the same remainder 'r' is (LCM of x, y, z) + r.

Step 1: Find the Prime Factorization of the given numbers:

⇒ 10 = 2 × 5

⇒ 14 = 2 × 7

⇒ 12 = 2² × 3

⇒ 8 = 2³

Step 2: Calculate the LCM (highest power of each factor):

⇒ LCM = 2³ × 3 × 5 × 7

⇒ LCM = 8 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 840

Step 3: Add the constant remainder to the LCM:

⇒ Required number = 840 + 7

⇒ Required number = 847

∴ The correct answer is 847.

Additional Information

LCM Property for Same Remainder

When a number leaves the same remainder r when divided by a, b, and c, the general form is N = k × LCM(a, b, c) + r, where k is an integer.

LCM Property for Different Remainders

If divisors are a, b, c and remainders are r₁, r₂, r₃ such that (a−r₁) = (b−r₂) = (c−r₃) = k, then the number is LCM(a, b, c) − k.

HCF vs LCM

HCF is the largest number that divides the given numbers, while LCM is the smallest number divisible by the given numbers.

The correct answer is Phylum Echinodermata.

Key Points

• Invertebrates with pentaradial symmetry, spiny skin, a water circulatory system, and a simple nervous system are known as echinoderms.
• There are around 7,000 extant species in this phylum.
• Echinodermata are only found in the sea.
• Echinoderms include sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sand dollars, and brittle stars.
• Echinoderms feature a calcareous endoskeleton with pentaradial symmetry and pigment cells that give them a wide spectrum of hues, as well as cells that contain poisons.
• Water circulates through an echinoderm's water vascular system, which is made up of a central ring of canals that extends along each arm for gaseous exchange and nutrition.
• Echinoderms have two sexes that release their eggs and sperm into the water, where the sperm fertilizes the eggs.

Echinoderms have the ability to reproduce asexually through regeneration.

• The neurological system of echinoderms is exceedingly simple, consisting of a nerve ring in the center and five radial nerves radiating outward along the arms; there is no brain.​

Additional Information

• Phylum Annelida:
• Phylum Annelida contains the class Polychaeta (the polychaetes) and the class Oligochaeta (the earthworms, leeches, and their relatives).
• These species can be found in a variety of settings, including marine, terrestrial, and freshwater, but the presence of water or humidity is essential for their survival, especially in terrestrial habitats.
• This phylum's animals form parasitic and commensal symbioses with other species in their environment.
• Because of its important property of metamerism, or real segmentation, annelids are commonly referred to as "segmented worms" throughout embryonic stages.
• Phylum Arthropoda:
• It includes animals that have been successful in colonizing terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial habitats.
• Arthropods have jointed legs and a chitin exoskeleton.
• Arthropods have a segmented body plan that contains fused segments divided into regions called tagma.
• Arthropods have an open circulatory system and can breathe through their book gills, book lungs, or tracheal tubes.
• Phylum Mollusca:
• Phylum Mollusca is the predominant phylum in marine environments.
• Mollusks have a soft body with a muscular foot, a visceral mass of internal organs, and a mantle, among other features.
• The muscular foot of a mollusk is utilized for mobility and anchoring, and it comes in a variety of shapes and functions, as well as the ability to extend and retract.
• The digestive, nervous, excretory, reproductive, and respiratory systems are all part of the mollusk's visceral mass.
• Most mollusks have a radula, which looks like a tongue but has teeth-like projections for shredding or scraping food.

Additional Information

The correct answer is She said to me, “How much did you pay for the mangoes?”

Key Points

• The given sentence is in Indirect Speech. As per the question we have to change it into Direct Speech.
• The process of transformation as follows: 
• 'asked' will be changed into 'said to'.
• Comma and inverted commas will be added.
• The given sentence is an example of an interrogative sentence with a question word.
• 'How' will be used as a conjunction because we know that in an interrogative sentence with a question word the question word itself is used as a conjunction.
• 'I' will be changed into 'you'.
• 'Had paid' will be changed into 'did pay'. (indirect to direct speech)
• Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 1. 

​

Correct Sentence: She said to me, “How much did you pay for the mangoes?”

Additional Information

• Transformation of Imperative Sentences. 
• 'Orders', 'Command', 'Request', 'Advice' are given in these kinds of sentences.
• Reporting Verb is changed into 'ordered, advised, requested, commanded, beg, forbade, suggested, proposed, assured, asked, reminded, warned, agreed, refused, promised', etc.
• Inverted Commas will be removed. And conjunction 'to/not to' will be used.
• Example: 
• He said, "Mohan, please bring me my towel." (Direct Speech)
• He requested Mohan to bring him his towel. (Indirect Speech)

Given:

A can do the work in 12 days

B can do the same work in 15 days

C can do the same work in 20 days

Calculations:

According to the question, we have

Total work done in 3 days

⇒ 12 × 3 = 36 units

Remaining work 

⇒ 60 units - 36 units

⇒ 24 units

Remaining work done by B is 

⇒ Number of days taken by B = 24/4

⇒ Number of days taken by B = 6 days

∴ The required number of days taken by B to complete the remaining work is 6 days.

The correct answer is Quick lime.

Explanation:

• The chemical formula for quick lime calcium oxide is CaO.
• It reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide.
• The product was left immediately after the calcination of pure limestone.
• It is commonly used in making porcelain and glass and also in preparing bleaching powder
• Limestone forms from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, and fecal debris that have calcium carbonate in them.
• The chemical composition of chalk is calcium carbonate, with minor amounts of silt and clay.
• Marble (Calcium carbonate) is a biogenic rock and is more compact than chalk.
• As with marble, calcium carbonate is a coarse-crystalline, metamorphic rock that is formed when chalk or limestone is recrystallized under conditions of high temperature and pressure.
