Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Into the Digital Dustbin ?

Into the Digital Dustbin ?


Some years back , listed Companies were required by law , to send to each of their share-holders , printed ( on paper ) copies of their Annual Reports - which , for some companies ran into 100 + pages - and needed to be delivered by POST to lakhs of shareholders, all over the country


Matters got worse when some 50 years ago , Govt introduced a rule that , in the Annual Reports, companies provide full details of each employee , who was paid Rs 3,000 per month or more ( even if she worked for part of the financial year )


Over the next few years, this limit got gradually raised to Rs 6000 / 9000 / 12000 pm - but the Annual Reports continued to get bulkier


Finally , Govt relented and withdrew this rule


And then with the arrival of internet and websites , Govt agreed that there was no NEED to send out printed Annual Reports to shareholders and the shareholders can download ( soft copies ) from company websites


Simultaneously , Govt introduced DEMAT version of share certificates itself


No more paper copies of shares


Nowadays , many newspapers have their e-Paper websites to which , readers can subscribe to - and read those " Papers ( ? ) " on their Mobiles !

Mankind has used " Paper " for centuries for disseminating " Content / Knowledge / Information " .


Word " Paper " has become so ingrained in our minds that , in the context of studies and examinations, we call :


> Question Papers , and

> Exam Papers , and

> Answer Papers / Answer Sheets etc


But with relentless advance of Computers / Laptops / Tablets and Mobiles , before long , these will get replaces by :

Mock Test - Vindication

 


 

Dear Parents – Teachers – Students :

 

Following table should dispel any lingering doubts that you might have about the

authenticity of www.My-Teacher.in , as far as its ability to provide the right answer,

when you select the CORRECT option


Sure , GEMINI and PERPLEXITY do provide longer explanations ( about their

choice ) as compared to www.My-Teacher.in


But then, GEMINI – PERPLEXITY , cannot “ generate “ mock tests ( for JEE – NEET

– CET ) , and offer you 4 options to choose from !



Only www.My-Teacher.in :

Ø  Generates 294,000 BILLION , mock tests

Ø  Provides Multiple Choice Questions

Ø  Lets you select from 9 Indian languages ( both for Questions and for Answers )

Ø  Ensures that even for identical selection , no two tests will ever be SAME – hence no copying

Last – but not the least : www.My-Teacher.in is totally FREE and does not even

require registration / login , assuring complete anonymity


No more need be said . I rest my case

( Q:  A )

GEMINI

The output of OR gate is 1

 

 

 

only if both inputs are zero

 

if either or both inputs are 1

 

only if both inputs are 1

 

if either input is zero

 

 

 

 

if either or both inputs are 1

 

The OR gate outputs 1 if at least one of its inputs is 1. From the truth table, we can see that the output Y is 1 for input combinations (0,1), (1,0), and (1,1), confirming that the correct answer is option B.

The correct option is: if either or both inputs are 1.

An OR gate produces a high output (1) if one or both of its inputs are high (1). It only produces a low output (0) when both inputs are low (0).

 

 

 

PERPLEXITY

 

An OR gate is a digital logic gate that outputs true (1) if at least one of its inputs is true. From the truth table, we can see that the output is 1 if either or both inputs are 1.

( Q : B )

 

 

GEMINI

Which of the following structure is similar to graphite?

 

 

 

 

BN

 

B

 

B C4

 

BH26

 

 

 

 

Boron nitride (BN) resembles graphite in structure, as it has a similar layered arrangement

The correct answer is BN.

Both graphite and BN (boron nitride) have a hexagonal structure, with alternating atoms forming layers.

This similar structure gives them similar properties, such as electrical conductivity and high melting point.

 

 

 

 

PERPLEXITY

 

The structure that is most similar to graphite is BN (boron nitride).Boron nitride (BN) has a layered structure that is very similar to the structure of graphite. In both materials, the atoms are arranged in hexagonal rings that are stacked on top of each other. The bonding within each layer is strong covalent bonding, while the layers are held together by weaker van der Waals forces.The other options are not correct:

·         B (boron) does not have a layered structure like graphite.

B4C (boron carbide) has a different crystal structure that is not similar
