281. Read the passage and answer the question. In the 1880s, the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus tested his own memory by learning lists of nonsense syllables and checking how many he could recall after different periods of time. He found that most forgetting happens soon after learning: a large part of new information is lost within the first day. However, each time the material was reviewed, it was forgotten more slowly. Which study method is best supported by Ebbinghaus's findings?

     कLearning only meaningful words खStudying all night before a test गReviewing material several times over a period of days घReading material once very carefully

282. Read the passage and answer the question. Sea otters often float on their backs while eating. A sea otter may place a flat stone on its chest and strike a shellfish against it until the shell breaks. It may keep a favourite stone in a loose fold of skin under its arm and use it again and again. When resting, groups of sea otters sometimes hold paws or wrap themselves in seaweed so that they do not drift apart. Why do sea otters wrap themselves in seaweed?

     कTo keep their fur clean खTo avoid drifting away from each other गTo keep their stones safe घTo hide from shellfish

283. Read the passage and answer the question. Lake Baikal in Siberia is the deepest lake in the world, reaching more than 1,600 metres at its deepest point. It is also extremely old, perhaps 25 million years. Because it is so deep, it holds about a fifth of all the fresh water found in the world's lakes and rivers. Many of the plants and animals that live there, including a freshwater seal, are found nowhere else. According to the passage, why does Lake Baikal hold so much fresh water?

     कBecause it is so old खBecause it receives a lot of rain गBecause it has many rivers flowing out of it घBecause it is so deep

284. Read the passage and answer the question. Natural rubber becomes sticky in hot weather and hard and brittle in cold weather, so early rubber products were not very useful. In 1839 the American inventor Charles Goodyear discovered that heating rubber with sulphur made it strong, flexible and stable at different temperatures. This process, called vulcanisation, made modern tyres possible. What problem did vulcanisation solve?

     कRubber was too expensive to collect. खRubber could not be heated. गRubber was too heavy for tyres. घRubber changed too much with temperature.

285. Read the passage and answer the question. For thousands of years, people chewed willow bark or drank tea made from it to reduce pain and fever. In the nineteenth century, chemists found that the bark contains a substance called salicin. Working from this discovery, the German company Bayer produced aspirin in a pure form in 1897. Aspirin is still one of the most widely used medicines in the world. What is the passage mainly about?

     कWhy willow trees grow near rivers खThe dangers of using natural remedies गHow fevers were treated in Germany घHow a traditional remedy led to a modern medicine

286. Read the passage and answer the question. The idea of zero as a number in its own right, rather than just an empty space, was developed by mathematicians in India. In the seventh century, the mathematician Brahmagupta wrote down rules for calculating with zero, such as the fact that a number minus itself equals zero. This idea later spread to the Arab world and then to Europe, where it changed the way people did arithmetic. What was Brahmagupta's contribution, according to the passage?

     कHe wrote rules for using zero in calculations. खHe invented the symbol for an empty space. गHe brought zero from Europe to India. घHe proved that zero is not a real number.

287. Read the passage and answer the question. No two people have ever been found to have identical fingerprints, not even identical twins, who share the same genes. This is because the patterns of ridges on the fingertips are formed before birth and are affected by tiny differences in conditions inside the womb, such as the baby's position and the pressure on its fingers. For this reason, fingerprints have been used for more than a century to identify people. Why do identical twins have different fingerprints, according to the passage?

     कTheir genes are slightly different. खFingerprints change as children grow. गOne twin is always born earlier. घConditions before birth affect the ridge patterns.

288. Read the passage and answer the question. When the first platypus specimen arrived in Britain from Australia in the late 1700s, some scientists suspected it was a fake made by sewing a duck's bill onto the body of a small mammal. The animal is indeed strange: it has fur and feeds its young on milk like other mammals, yet it lays eggs. The male also has a spur on each back leg that can deliver venom. Why did some scientists first think the platypus was a fake?

     कIt was much larger than they expected. खIt had been found in Britain, not Australia. गIt seemed to combine parts of very different animals. घIt arrived without any fur.

290. Read the passage and answer the question. The gharial is a crocodile-like reptile with a long, very thin snout lined with sharp teeth. This shape allows it to move its head quickly through water to catch fish, its main food, but it is poorly suited to catching large animals. Gharials were once common in the rivers of northern India and Nepal, but their numbers fell sharply because of fishing nets, dams and sand mining. Breeding centres now raise young gharials and release them into the wild. Which of the following is NOT given as a cause of the gharial's decline?

     कFishing nets खDams गSand mining घHunting for its skin
