1. A and B are brothers. C and D are sisters. A's son is D's brother. How is B related to C ?
A. Father
B. Brother
C. Uncle
D. Grandfather    

Answer: C. Uncle.
The given information is:
A and B are brothers.
C and D are sisters.
A's son is D's brother (this means A is the father of both D and her brother).
Since A and B are brothers, B is the uncle of A's children (D and her brother). Therefore, B is related to C as Uncle.

The correct answer is: C. Uncle.

2. A is son of C while C and Q are the sisters to one another. Z is the mother of Q. If P is the son of Z, Which one of the following statements is correct ?
A. Q is the grandfather of A
B. P is the maternal uncle of A
C. P is the cousin of A
D. Z is the brother of C
Answer: B. P is the maternal uncle of A

Let's analyze the relationships step by step:

A is the son of C.
C and Q are sisters.
Z is the mother of Q, meaning Z is also the mother of C (because C and Q are sisters).
P is the son of Z, so P is the brother of C and Q.
Based on this:

A is the son of C, which makes P (C's brother) the maternal uncle of A.
Thus, the correct statement is:

B. P is the maternal uncle of A.

3. Pointing at a photo, Dinesh said, "His father is only son of my mother." The photo belongs to-
A. Dinesh
B. Dinesh's brother
C. Dinesh's father
D. Dinesh's son
Answer: D. Dinesh's son.
Let's break down the statement:

Dinesh says, "His father is the only son of my mother."

"The only son of my mother" means Dinesh is referring to himself, as he is the only son of his mother.
Therefore, the person in the photo is the son of Dinesh (since "his father" refers to Dinesh).
The photo belongs to:

D. Dinesh's son.

4. Looking at a portrait of a man, Sanjay said, "His mother is the wife of my father's son. Brothers and sisters I have none." At whose portrait was Sanjay Looking.
A. His son
B. His nephew
C. His cousin
D. His uncle
Answer: A. His son.
Let's analyze the statement:

Sanjay says, "His mother is the wife of my father's son. Brothers and sisters I have none."

"My father's son" refers to Sanjay himself because he has no brothers or sisters.
So, "the wife of my father's son" refers to Sanjay's wife.
Therefore, "His mother" refers to Sanjay's wife, meaning "he" is Sanjay's son.
Sanjay was looking at the portrait of:

A. His son.

5. A man said to a lady, "The son of your only brother is the brother of my wife." What is the lady to the man.
A. Mother
B. Sister
C. Sister of father-in-law
D. Grandfather
E. Maternal aunt
Answer: C. Sister of father-in-law.
Let's break down the relationships:

The man says, "The son of your only brother is the brother of my wife."
The "son of your only brother" is the nephew of the lady.
The man says that this nephew is the brother of his wife, which means the lady's nephew is also the man's brother-in-law.
If the lady's nephew is the man's brother-in-law, it means the lady is the sister of the man's father-in-law (the father of his wife).
Thus, the lady is:

C. Sister of father-in-law.

6. If A is the brother of B and K, D is the the mother of B and E is the father of A. Which one of the following statement is not definitely true ?
A. B is the brother of K
B. A is the father of K
C. A is the son of D
D. D is the wife of E
Answer: A. B is the brother of K.
Let's analyze the relationships:

A is the brother of B and K.
D is the mother of B, which means D is also the mother of A and K.
E is the father of A, so E is also the father of B and K.
Now let's look at the options:

A. B is the brother of K
This is not definitely true, because B could be either male or female (brother or sister of K). So, this statement cannot be confirmed as true.

B. A is the father of K
This is false, as A is K's brother, not father.

C. A is the son of D
This is definitely true, as D is the mother of A.

D. D is the wife of E
This is definitely true, as E is the father and D is the mother, making D the wife of E.

The statement that is not definitely true is:

A. B is the brother of K.

7. Introducing a lady, a man said, "Her mother is the only daughter of my mother-in-law." What is the man to the lady ?
A. Son
B. Father
C. Uncle
D. Husband
Answer: B. Father.
Let's break down the relationships:

The man says, "Her mother is the only daughter of my mother-in-law."

The only daughter of the man's mother-in-law would be the man's wife.
So, the lady's mother is the man's wife.
Therefore, the man is the father of the lady.
Thus, the man is:

B. Father.

8. Introducing a woman, a man said, "Her mother's husband's sister is my aunt." How man is related to the woman ?
A. Nephew
B. Brother
C. brother-in-law
D. Cousin
Answer: D. Cousin.
Let's break down the statement:

The man says, "Her mother's husband's sister is my aunt."

"Her mother's husband" is the woman's father.
So, "Her mother's husband's sister" refers to the woman's father's sister, who is the man's aunt.
If the woman's father's sister is the man's aunt, it means the man and the woman share the same grandparents on the father's side.
This makes the man and the woman cousins.

Therefore, the man is related to the woman as:

D. Cousin.

9. Leela, who is Sohan's daughter, says to Latika, "Your mother Alka is the younger sister of my father who is the third child of Gajanan." What is the relation of Gajanan to Latika ?

D. Father-in-law
Answer: C. Grandfather.
Let's break down the relationships based on the statement:

Leela is Sohan's daughter.
Leela says to Latika, "Your mother Alka is the younger sister of my father."
This means Alka (Latika's mother) is Sohan's sister.
Leela mentions that her father (Sohan) is the third child of Gajanan.
Given this information:

Since Sohan and Alka are siblings, that makes Gajanan the father of both Sohan and Alka.
Therefore, Gajanan is Latika's grandfather.
Thus, the relation of Gajanan to Latika is:

C. Grandfather.

10. Old man's son is my son's uncle, then what relation has the old man with me ?

If the old man's son is the uncle of the speaker's son, it implies that the speaker is a sibling of the old man's son.

Therefore, the old man must be the speaker's father.

So, the relation of the old man to the speaker is:

B. Father.

নবীকৰণযোগ্য শক্তিৰ প্ৰধান উৎসসমূহ

সৌৰ শক্তি: সূৰ্যৰ পৰা আহৰণ কৰা শক্তি 'সৌৰ শক্তি' নামে পৰিচিত। সৌৰ শক্তি প্ৰত্যক্ষভাৱে সৌৰ পেনেলৰ জৰিয়তে আহৰণ কৰি বিদ্যুৎ উৎপাদনৰ কাৰ্যত ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা হয়। সৌৰ শক্তি এটি নিৰৱচ্ছিন্ন আৰু পৰিষ্কাৰ শক্তি উৎস, যিয়ে পৃথিৱীৰ কোনো শিতানত উপলব্ধ। সৌৰ পেনেলৰ মাধ্যমে এই শক্তি সংৰক্ষণ কৰি বিদ্যুৎ উৎপাদন আৰু গৃহস্থলীত তাপ উৎপাদনত ব্যাপকভাৱে ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা হয়। সৌৰ শক্তিৰ এটি বিশেষ সুবিধা হৈছে যে ই প্ৰায় প্ৰতিটো ঠাইত উপলব্ধ।

৩. অৰ্থনৈতিক সুবিধা: নবীকৰণযোগ্য শক্তি আৰু ইয়াৰ প্ৰযুক্তিবোৰৰ উন্নয়ন আৰু বিস্তাৰৰ লগে লগে বিশ্বজুৰি কৰ্মসংস্থানের সৃষ্টি হৈছে। নবীকৰণযোগ্য শক্তিৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত সাৱলম্বী উদ্যোগসমূহ অধিক স্থায়িত্বৰ বাবে পৰিক্ৰমা কৰিছে। অধিক শ্ৰমিকৰ প্ৰয়োজন, প্রযুক্তিগত বিকাশ আৰু উদ্যোগৰ মজবুতিশীলতাই সমগ্ৰ অৰ্থনীতিত এক সাৰথি প্ৰদান কৰিছে।

৪. স্বায়ত্তশাসিত শক্তি ব্যৱস্থা: নবীকৰণযোগ্য শক্তি প্ৰধান কৰি ক্ৰমান্বয়ে বিশ্বজুৰি দেশসমূহে স্বায়ত্তশাসিত শক্তি ব্যৱস্থা গঢ়ি তুলিছে। বহি ভাৰত, আমেৰিকা, আৰু চীনৰ দৰে দেশবোৰে সৌৰ আৰু বায়ু শক্তিৰ প্ৰচলনৰ ওপৰত বিশেষ গুৰুত্ব দি নিজৰ শক্তি নিৰ্ভৰশীলতা হ্ৰাস কৰিছে। ই সকলো দেশৰ বাবে এক শক্তি স্বাধীনতাৰ পথ প্ৰদৰ্শন কৰিছে।

নবীকৰণযোগ্য শক্তিৰ সীমাবদ্ধতাসমূহ

যদিও নবীকৰণযোগ্য শক্তিৰ বহু সুবিধা আছে, তথাপি ইয়াৰ ব্যৱহাৰৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত কিছুমান সীমাবদ্ধতা বিদ্যমান। প্ৰথমতে, নবীকৰণযোগ্য শক্তি আহৰণৰ প্ৰাথমিক খৰচ অত্যন্ত উচ্চ। সৌৰ পেনেল বা বায়ু চাকি স্থাপন আৰু সংৰক্ষণৰ খৰচ মাটিৰ পৰ্যায়ত সৰ্বসাধাৰণৰ বাবে বহনযোগ্য নহয়। লগতে, সৌৰ শক্তি আহৰণৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত মেঘাচ্ছন্ন দিনত শক্তি আহৰণৰ অক্ষমতা আৰু বায়ুশক্তিৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত বায়ুৰ গতিৰ ওপৰত নিৰ্ভৰশীলতা ইত্যাদি প্ৰযুক্তিগত সমস্যাও আছে।
