12. Which one of the following characteristics is best suited to intensive farming?

Correct Answer: (c) High yeild rate
Solution:

High yeild rate is best suited to intensive farming. Intensive farming is a system of cultivation using large amounts of labour and capital relative to land area. Large amounts of labour and capital are necessary to the application of fertilizer, insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides to growing crops, and capital is particularly important to the acquisition and maintenance of high-efficiency machinery for planting, cultivating, and harvesting, as well as irrigation equipment where that is required. Intensive farming represents a type of farming in which farmers have small plot size and they tried to maximize the output from that field by the use of fertilizes machine etc. Due to which farms have high yield rate per hut are so option 1, 2, 3 are ware while 4 is incorrect

13. The volcanic deposits on the ocean floor at a depth of 2,500 fathoms or more are known as:

17. Which one of the following electromagnetic radiation (EMR) used in remote sensing has the shortest wavelength?

Correct Answer: (c) Blue
Solution:

These sensors record the wavelengths of visible light which are emitted from their point of focus. A wavelength refers to the means by which light is measured. One wavelength refers to the distance between two successive wave troughs or crests. It is usually represented by the Greek letter lambda (λ). Wavelength is usually measured in micrometre (mm, 10-6m) and the nanometer (nm, 10-9m). It is important to mention here that in given colours, Blue has the shortest wavelength in remote sensing.

18. Which one of the following description for 'Aw' in Koppen's world climatic classification is correct?

Correct Answer: (d) Tropical Savana Climate
Solution:

Koppen's classification is based on a subdivision of terrestrial climates into five major types, which are represented by the capital letters A, B, C, D, and E. Each of these climate types except for B is defined by temperature criteria.

20. Given below are two statements- one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): The agropolitan approach to regional development postulated that rural development could be best pursued by linking it to urban development at the local level. Reason(R): The decentralization, democratization and participation were taken as the key factors in agropolitan approach to regional development.
Select the correct answer from options given below:

Correct Answer: (b) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Solution:

The agropolitan approach of planning to rural development focuses on establishing a connection between urban development to rural development. Significantly, it emphasizes on decentralization, democratization and participation of people in the process of development. It rejected conventional topdown approach of rural development. Thus, the correct answer is 2.
