aptitude

question; you have two flask one having 3 litre capacity  and the other having 4 litre capacity and you need to show a way to get 2 litre water out of these two

such a questions can be solved within 20 second by modeling the situation mathematically:
 let us consider we have two input 3 and 4 and with arithmatic you need to get 2 (in arithmatic we  are allwed to perform only additon and substraction because it is easy to visualise  these in real life...)

now 4-3=1 ,now we have have generated one but we cant do 1+1=2 because we have generated only one 1 . so....3-1=2 is valid so we got the required answer 2.
                                                                                              convert it into physical situation, subtraction means you are pouring one fill into other unfill and addition means you are pouring filled into other filled. so 4-3 suggest either you pour 4 litre into three or three litre into 4 litre ,since 4 litre cant be poured into 3 so we have to pour 3 into 4 litre flask. then 3-1. when you poured  3 into 4 litre flask 4 litre flask became 1 litre flask but here you cant pour 1 litre into three litre (common sense as it contains already 3 litre and has capacity of 4 litre) so you need to pour 3 litre into 1 litre(that is 4 litre flask) so the water left in the flask is 3-1=2 litre your required answer

Peasant movement during freedom struggle

Unlike the earlier peasant movements that arose from discontentment among the peasantry, the peasant movements in the twentieth century were influenced by national freedom struggle. This phase witnessed an increased involvement of middle-class, modern educated class in peasant resistance movements. This led to percolation of the idea of nationalism among the peasantry too. Gandhian Peasant Movements These movements were essentially non violent in nature. Satyagraha (fast unto death) was the defining feature of these moments to build moral pressure on britishers to accept their demands. Champaran Satyagraha 1917 : In Champaran, the peasants were agitating against the planters who were forcing the peasants to grow indigo under the exploitative tinkathia system . This system forced cultivation of indigo in 3/20th of land held by the peasant. One of their leaders, Raj Kumar Sukul invited Gandhi to resolve the issue. Gandhi led the movement by launching satyagraha and mobilised the peasan

Different perspective of Freedom-----market economy vs social stability

  What we can define we can control, perhaps this is the reason why we cant define emotion. This article is all about Freedom and its scope.   I will define freedom as this   article progresses towards required point. Pre-requisite: Cost of Happiness: happiness is not something static, it’s a dynamic concept and its directly linked to the edge of our freely floating mind . In other words if someone/something is responsible for your happiness(social/sexual/psychological) wont last long until and unless there is some desirable or at least some socially acknowledgeable value is added to the status quo. Now since this change traces the edge of our freely floating mind (and our mind tend to spread to the extreme extant of our economic/social/psychological reach) it becomes difficult or rather costly to continuously sustain this change. I call it cost of happiness   , that we have to keep paying .   Biasness: Lack of knowledge is called biasness. If you hate a particular re

Plant nutrients in the soil

Soil is a major source of nutrients needed by plants for growth. The three main nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Together they make up the trio known as NPK. Other important nutrients are calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Plants also need small quantities of iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron and molybdenum, known as trace elements because only traces are needed by the plant. The role these nutrients play in plant growth is complex, and this document provides only a brief outline. Major elements Nitrogen (N) Nitrogen is a key element in plant growth. It is found in all plant cells, in plant proteins and hormones, and in chlorophyll. Atmospheric nitrogen is a source of soil nitrogen. Some plants such as legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen in their roots; otherwise fertiliser factories use nitrogen from the air to make ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate and urea. When applied to soil, nitrogen is converted to mineral form, nitrate, so that plants can take it up.
