Bananas, cucumbers, grapes, etc. are examples of the parthenocarpic fruits.Statement 2 is incorrect: Plants that give beverage drinks are known as the beverage plants. It could be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic in nature. Alcoholic ones carry at least one or more hydroxyl groups whereas the non-alcoholic ones are alkaloids and contain caffeine.

The contributions are in the direction to achieve the long-term goal of the Paris Agreement; “to hold the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C, and to achieve net zero emissions in the second half of this century.” Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.

Global warming might trigger the release of methane gas from these deposits.Large deposits of ‘methane hydrate’ are found in Arctic Tundra and under the sea floor.Methane in atmosphere oxidizes to carbon dioxide after a decade or two.Select the correct answer using the code given below. 1 and 2 only 2 and 3 only 1 and 3 only 1, 2 and 3 Methane hydrate is a crystalline solid that consists of a methane molecule surrounded by a cage of interlocking water molecules. It is an “ice” that only occurs naturally in subsurface deposits where temperature and pressure conditions are favourable for its formation.Regions with suitable temperature and pressure conditions for the formation and stability of methane hydrate– sediment and sedimentary rock units below the Arctic permafrost; sedimentary deposits along continental margins; deep-water sediments of inland lakes and seas; and, under Antarctic ice. Hence, statement 2 is correct.Methane hydrates, the sensitive sediments, can rapidly dissociate with an increase in temperature or a decrease in pressure. The dissociation produces free methane and water, which can be triggered by global warming. Hence, statement 1 is correct.Methane is removed from the atmosphere in about 9 to 12-year period by oxidation reaction where it is converted into Carbon Dioxide. Hence, statement 3 is correct.Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.

Which of the following in the Constitution of India correctly and appropriately imply the above statement? Article 14 and the provisions under the 42nd Amendment to the Constitution. Article 17 and the Directive Principles of State Policy in Part IV. Article 21 and the freedoms guaranteed in Part III. Article 24 and the provisions under the 44th Amendment to the Constitution. The Correct Answer is Article 21 and the freedoms guaranteed in Part III. Right to Privacy is protected as an intrinsic part of Right to Life and Personal Liberty under Article Article 21 and the freedoms guaranteed in Part III of the Indian Constitution. The Correct Answer is Article 21 and the freedoms guaranteed in Part III. Right to Privacy is protected as an intrinsic part of Right to Life and Personal Liberty under Article Article 21 and the freedoms guaranteed in Part III of the Indian Constitution. 5 / 5 ‘Right to Privacy’ is protected under which Article of the Constitution of India? Article 15 Article 19 Article 21 Article 29 Supreme Court ruled that Right to Privacy is "intrinsic to life and personal liberty" and is inherently protected under Article 21 and as a part of the freedoms guaranteed by Part III of the Constitution. Supreme Court ruled that Right to Privacy is "intrinsic to life and personal liberty" and is inherently protected under Article 21 and as a part of the freedoms guaranteed by Part III of the Constitution.
