freedom to practice one’s own religion,
and the rights by means of writs such as

Act of 1833 under the Chairmanship of
Lord Macaulay which recommended
codification of the Penal Code, the
Criminal Procedure Code and a few other

80. (B) The Minimum Wages Act, 1948 was enacted
to safeguard the interests of workers, mostly
in the unorganised sector for the fixation of
minimum wages in certain specified
employments. It binds the employers to pay
their workers the minimum wages fixed
under the Act from time to time. Under the
Act, both the Central Government and the
State Governments are the appropriate
Governments to fix, revise, review and
enforce the payment of minimum wages to
workers in respect of ‘scheduled
employments’ under their respective
jurisdictions.
81. (C) Changes in weat her involve air
movements, formation of clouds, and
precipitation. Energy is needed to make
all these things happen. The energy
comes from the sun. Heat energy enters
and moves through the atmosphere in
three different ways. One of the way
through which heat energy is transferred
is radiation. Hot bodies (The sun) radiate
their energy mainly in the form of short
waves. These short waves are seen as
visible light. Cooler bodies such as Earth
radiate their energy as longer waves.
82. (C) A continent sized hole has been formed
over Antarctica as a result of damage to
the ozone layer. Most of the ozone is
formed in the stratosphere over the
equator and spreads by winds around the
globe. Icy particles in polar stratospheric
clouds catalyse the release of chlorine
(from CFC) which destroys ozone. The
formation of Ozone hole is maximum
because in winter there is exceptionally
cold.
83. (B) Eugen Steinach discovered the sex
hor mones in 1922. He conducted
experiments in the transplantation of a
male guinea pig’s, testes into a female
and the castration of the male. Now the
testes secretion is known as testosterone
resulted in the f emale guinea pig
developing male sexual behaviour such
as mounting the partner . This led
steinach to theorize that the gland’s
secretions were responsible for sexuality.
84. (C) The most prevalent bulk material for solar
cells is crystalline silicon (abbreviated in
a group as c-Si,). It is also known as “solar
grade silicon”.
