MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1

In Champion and Seth's (1968) classification of Forests, following sub group does not come under Tropical Moist Deciduous Forests (Group 3):

चैंपियन और सेठ (1968) के वनों के वर्गीकरण में,

निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा उपसमूह उष्णकटिबंधीय आर्द्र पर्णपाती वन (समूह 3) के अंतर्गत नहीं आता है?

Andamans moist deciduous forests अंडमान आर्द्र पर्णपाती वन South Indian moist deciduous forests दक्षिण भारतीय आर्द्र पर्णपाती वन Northern tropical Wet evergreen forests उत्तरी उष्णकटिबंधीय आर्द्र सदाबहार वन North Indian moist deciduous forests उत्तर भारतीय आर्द्र पर्णपाती वन

Champion and Seth (1968) forest classification system:

Andamans moist deciduous forests (Subgroup 3A) is part of Group 3.
South Indian moist deciduous forests (Subgroup 3B) is part of Group 3.
Northern tropical wet evergreen forests (Subgroup 1B) belongs to Group 1 (Tropical Wet Evergreen Forests), not Group 3.
North Indian moist deciduous forests (Subgroup 3C) is part of Group 3.

Option breakdown:
Belongs to Group 3.
Belongs to Group 3.
Belongs to Group 1, making it the correct answer.
Belongs to Group 3.

चैंपियन और सेठ (1968) के वन वर्गीकरण में समूह 3 (उष्णकटिबंधीय आर्द्र पर्णपाती वन) के घटक:

अंडमान आर्द्र पर्णपाती वन: समूह 3 का उपसमूह 3A है।
दक्षिण भारतीय आर्द्र पर्णपाती वन: समूह 3 का उपसमूह 3B है।
उत्तरी उष्णकटिबंधीय आर्द्र सदाबहार वन सही उत्तर है, क्योंकि यह समूह 1 (उष्णकटिबंधीय आर्द्र सदाबहार वन) का उपसमूह 1B है, न कि समूह 3 का।
उत्तर भारतीय आर्द्र पर्णपाती वन: समूह 3 का उपसमूह 3C है।

विकल्पों का विश्लेषण:
समूह 3 के अंतर्गत आता है।
समूह 3 के अंतर्गत आता है।
समूह 1 के अंतर्गत आता है, अतः सही उत्तर है।
समूह 3 के अंतर्गत आता है।

MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1

Rosin, soap along with aluminum sulphate and wax emulsions are added for the paper:

कागज निर्माण में रोजिन, साबुन के साथ एल्यूमीनियम सल्फेट और मोम पायस किसके लिए मिलाए जाते हैं?

Beating बीटिंग (कुटाई) Sizing साइजिंग Loading लोडिंग Colouring रंगाई

Operations in papermaking:

Beating is the mechanical treatment of pulp fibres to increase fibrillation and bonding strength.
Sizing: Rosin, soap, wax emulsion, and alum (aluminium sulphate) are chemical additives used during internal sizing of paper to reduce water absorbency and prevent ink feathering.
Loading is the addition of inorganic fillers (clay, talc, calcium carbonate) to improve opacity and smoothness.
Colouring involves dyes and pigments added to give paper a specific shade.

Option breakdown:
Mechanical fiber refining.
Sizing is the process of adding rosin and alum to impart water resistance.
Loading uses mineral fillers.
Colouring uses dyes.

कागज निर्माण प्रक्रियाओं का विवरण:

बीटिंग: रेशों की यांत्रिक कुटाई जिससे उनके बीच बंधन मजबूत हो।
साइजिंग सही उत्तर है। कागज में जल अवशोषण को रोकने और स्याही फैलने से बचाने के लिए रोजिन सोप, एल्युमिनियम सल्फेट (फिटकरी) तथा वैक्स इमल्शन मिलाया जाता है, जिसे साइजिंग कहते हैं।
लोडिंग: कागज में चमक और अपारदर्शिता बढ़ाने के लिए मिट्टी (क्ले) या चॉक मिलाना।
रंगाई: रंगीन कागज के लिए डाई मिलाना।

विकल्पों का विश्लेषण:
यांत्रिक प्रक्रिया है।
साइजिंग सही उत्तर है।
अकार्बनिक भराव प्रक्रिया है।
रंगाई प्रक्रिया है।
