Introduction to the Session [0:04]
Gaurav Maurya welcomes everyone to the session on SSC Testbook YouTube channel. This session is designed for students targeting SSC CGL, CHSL, CPO, and other SSC exams. The sessions are held from Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM. Currently, they are doing mixed questions of varying difficulty levels, after having covered previous year questions, topic-wise and subject-wise questions.
Galaxies and Their Shapes [2:21]
The question is about the type of galaxy that has no regular shape and is rich in gas and dust. The options are spiral, elliptical, irregular, and lenticular. Irregular galaxies have no regular shape and are rich in gas and dust. Spiral galaxies have a spiral shape, elliptical galaxies have an elliptical shape, and lenticular galaxies are a mix of spiral and elliptical. Our galaxy, Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy. Elliptical galaxies have very little gas and dust.
Lenz's Law Explained [5:19]
According to Lenz's Law, the direction of an induced current in a conductor flows to oppose the variation causing it. Lenz's Law, given by Heinrich Lenz in 1834, states that the direction of the induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux that produces it.
Sound Waves and Their Properties [6:53]
Sound waves travel faster in steel than in air at the same temperature because particles in solids are more closely packed with stronger forces. Sound waves are longitudinal waves and require a medium to travel. The speed of sound is 332 meters per second. Sound travels fastest in solids, then liquids, and slowest in gases. In a vacuum, the speed of sound is zero. Amplitude is the maximum distance from the mean line, and greater amplitude means louder sound, measured in decibels. Wavelength is one complete cycle, and frequency is the number of vibrations per second.
Parallel Resistors and Current Flow [10:56]
If resistors R1 and R2 are in parallel and R1 is less than R2, the current through R1 is greater. In a parallel circuit, voltage remains the same, but current differs. Current flows more readily where resistance is lower. Current is inversely proportional to resistance (I = V/R).
Leakage in Circular Flow of Economy [14:15]
Leakage in the circular flow of the economy refers to any use of income that decreases the flow of money in the economy. Saving and taxes are considered leakages because they remove money from the market flow. When income is saved instead of spent, it's a leakage.
Understanding Repo Rate [16:25]
Repo rate is the rate at which commercial banks borrow money from the RBI (Reserve Bank of India). Commercial banks borrow from the central bank (RBI), and the interest rate charged is the repo rate. Reverse repo rate is when RBI borrows from commercial banks. CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) is the percentage of NDTL (Net Demand Time Liabilities) that commercial banks keep with the RBI in cash form. SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) is the percentage of NDTL that commercial banks keep with themselves.
The Main Source of Water for the Hirakud Dam [18:46]
The main source of water for the Hirakud Dam is the Mahanadi River. The Mahanadi originates from Sihawa Hill in Dhamtari District, Chhattisgarh. Its length varies from 851 km to 900 km according to different sources. The river flows through Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha, and drains into the Bay of Bengal, forming a delta. It is also known as the "Sorrow of Odisha". The Hirakud Dam, India's longest dam, is built on the Mahanadi in Sambalpur district.
Scheduled Tribe Population According to Census 2011 [21:26]
According to the Census of 2011, Puducherry is one Indian Union Territory with no scheduled tribe population. The theme of the 2011 census was "Our Census, Our Future," and the Registrar was C. Chandramouli. Delhi, Puducherry, and Chandigarh have 0% ST population. Lakshadweep has the highest ST population percentage among Union Territories at 94.8%.
Criticism of Industrial Policy in India (1950-1990) [23:28]
A major criticism of the industrial policy followed in India during 1950-1990 was the creation of a protected market leading to inefficiency. The "License Raj" aimed to protect the market but made it inefficient. The economic reforms of 1991 removed the License Raj, making the market more efficient.
Trend Reflected by Increasing Urban Population in Non-Manual Occupations [25:53]
The increasing share of the urban population in non-manual tertiary occupations reflects an emerging service economy. The service sector, also known as the tertiary sector, includes banking, transportation, and teaching. Services can be felt but not touched.
Trade Policy Reforms in India in 1991 [27:31]
The trade policy reforms in India in 1991 heavily involved removing quantitative restrictions on imports and exports.
Statutory Grants to States Under Article 275 [28:24]

The Finance Commission recommends the amount of statutory grants.
The Magna Carta of India [30:34]
Part III of the Indian Constitution, which contains the Fundamental Rights, is known as the Magna Carta of India. The term "Magna Carta" was first used in 1215 by England's King John, who issued a charter granting rights to the people.
