a) 1979

19th edition of Dewey Decimal Classification Scheme was published in 1979.

Hence, the correct matching is P-4; Q-1; R-2; S-3

Governance: Governance is a set of policies, roles and responsibilities set up by the board to direct the organisation/ Institution/ Department, that identifies how a board will conduct business, how power will be divided and delegated and what process will be set up to achieve accountability.

Guiding Principle:

• Build a solid governance 
• Make sure it works 
• Know what it is that you need to achieve
• Know where and how to get the resources you need 
• Support the library’s mission and purpose 
• Perform an annual review of the mission

There are four methods of acquiring periodicals. These are:

(a) By subscription: In this method of acquisition, periodicals are subscribed directly from the publisher or vendors. The subscription amount is paid in advance (annually) to the publisher or vendor for a particular title, following which, the library receives the periodical. 

(b) As a member of societies and institutions: The societies and institutions send their periodicals free of cost, once a library becomes their member. 

(c) By gift: A number of organisations send their periodicals free of cost to libraries. Hence, if a library wishes to acquire such journals then the publishing organizations are to be requested to enrol the receiving libraries on their mailing list. This enables the libraries to receive desired periodicals as gifts. 

(d) By exchange: Acquiring periodicals by exchange is a method in which two organisations exchange their periodicals and other publications with each other.

Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) is a highly personalized service. It is a method of supplying each user or a group of users with references of documents or abstracts relating to their pre-defined areas of interest selected from documents published recently/received during the period in question.

This service saves the user the effort and time of having to scan through a number of publications, and to choose the documents of interest to him. The basic concept behind SDI is the matching of information/documents with the profile of each user or group of users with same interest.

A user profile and document profile are two important components of the SDI service. Then the matching items are brought to the attention of the user. The same activity can be performed effectively with the help of a computer.

During the process of SDI, the user profile which comprises of a set of key words organised as meticulously as the system permits, describe the subject of interest, in accordance with the keywords that appear on the documents. A document is selected when two key words coincide. In an automated environment, once a search profile of the user is created and saved, relevant information is sent to the researcher automatically (and the selected databases/catalogues are updated).

c) Active information Services

The Services provided in anticipation of the needs of the library users are known as Active information Services.

a) Inter Library Loan

The process of sharing materials between libraries is Inter Library Loan.

The correct answer is November 19.

• The National Integration Day commemorates the birth anniversary of India's first female Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.

UN Trade and Development conference take place In 1964.

Raja Hari Sing the merger-Letter of Kashmir in India.

(D) All of these

Hurriyat conference  merger of Kashmir in India.

In 1986 mizoram became a state of Indian union.

15 members are there in the security council

In 1987 India send its Peace-Keeping force to Sri Lanka. 

First plant height = 44 cm and it grows 3 cm in every 2 months. 

\(\therefore\) Common difference = 3/2

After 1^st month plant height = 44 + 3/2 = (88 + 3)/2 = 91/2

After n^th month first plant height

 = 91/2 + (n - 1)3/2.

Second plant height  = 80 cm and it grows 5cm in every 6 months.

 \(\therefore\) Common difference = 5/6

After 1^st month plant height = 80 + 5/6 = 485/6

After n^th month second plant height

= 485/6 + (n - 1)5/6

Let both plants have equal height after n month.

Therefore, 91/2 + (n -1) 3/2 = 485/6 + (n - 1) 5/6

⇒ (n -1) (3/2 - 5/6) = 485/6 - 91/2 = (485-273)/6 = 212/6

⇒ (n –1)=212/6 x 6/(9 - 5) = 212/4 = 53

⇒ n = 53 + 1 = 54

\(\therefore\)  After 54^th month both plants will have equal height.

As in anything, society and culture determine the approach one must take. For instance, in some countries it is disrespectful to show the sole of your foot. That's a cultural moré you must keep in mind when teaching. Even in the United States, there are many different cultures represented that we as professionals should be mindful of in order to effectively teach and coach.

(d) Legislations only

Correct option is (c) 9

Oxidation number = x - 4 + 1 = 0 

x = 3

Two Plano-convex lenses of focal length f on combining give convex lens of focal length f/2 = 40/2 =20 cm obtain real image the object must be place at a 2F = 2 x 20 = 40.

Variations in the amount of solar energy received. The rotation of the Earth.

Pressure differences lead to the formation of winds. Winds blow from high pressure regions to low pressure in a horizontal manner. This is called wind.

Winds are named on the basis of the direction from which they blow. For example, South wind the wind blowing from South.

Winds blowing from the sea will be saturated with moisture whereas, the moisture content will be less in winds blowing from drier regions.

Correct answer is Birbal

Correct answer is Kutch

Mallikarjan Mansur

Pressure gradient, Force coriolis, Force friction.

Correct option is (A) Dinabandhu Mitra 

The pressure gradient is said to be sleeper when the pressure difference is more. This can be understand by the pattern of isobar in two different situations. If the isobar are distributed away from each other the pressure gradient will be less. So the speed of wind is feeble.

Freely moving bodies get deflated to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere due to the force generated as a result of Earth’s rotation. This is known as Coriolis force.

Admiral Ferrel introduced this law, an American Scientist. According to this Ferrel’s law winds right and those in the Southern hemisphere deflect towards their left due to the Coriolis effect.

The correct answer is Kashmir.

• Poet Lallyd was associated with the Jammu and Kashmir region of India.

• Jammu and Kashmir 
  • Kashmir is a region of the northwestern Indian subcontinent.
  • It is bounded by the Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang to the northeast and the Tibet Autonomous Region to the east (both parts of China), by the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab to the south, by Pakistan to the west, and by Afghanistan to the northwest.​
  • Official languages - Kashmiri, Dogri, Hindi, Engish, Urdu
  • Lieutenant Governor - Manoj Sinha
  • Major Dance forms - Dumhal, Rauf, Kud 

The speed of wind will be high over ocean surfaces and level lands as the friction is less. On the other hand, the friction being more along difficult terrains and places with dense forest cover, the speed of wind will be less in those places.

90° North and South

Marco Polo has written about Indian textiles.

Situated on 30° latitude of North and’South hemisphere.

Very high temperature experienced in lower latitude so air starts to rise. That leads to low atmospheric pressure. But in a colder region air is dense so that leads to high atmospheric pressure.

isobars are imaginary lines joining places having the same atmospheric pressure. We can easily understand the distribution of the atmospheric pressure of any region by observing the Isobars.

A located in the coastal area, B is located away from the coastal area. Humidity in the atmosphere of the region near coastal area will be more, the the atmospheric pressure will be less here. So A has a low atmospheric pressure
