India's Firsts and Achievements

Rajkumari Amrit Kaur became India's first woman cabinet minister in 1947, serving in Jawaharlal Nehru's first cabinet as Health Minister. She was a freedom fighter and close associate of Gandhi. Vijayalakshmi Pandit was a diplomat (not cabinet minister), Sheila Dixit served much later as Chief Minister, and Sarojini Naidu was a governor.

Reita Faria won the Miss World title in 1966, becoming the first Indian woman to achieve this feat. She was a medical student when she won. Aishwarya Rai won in 1994, Sushmita Sen was Miss Universe 1994, and Neena Gupta is an actress unrelated to pageants.

Shivanasamudra in Karnataka (1902) was India's first hydroelectric project, built for the Kolar Gold Fields. It predates Bhakra-Nangal, Hirakud, and Sharavati projects. The Sharavati Project (Linganamakki Dam) came later in the 1960s. This is a significant milestone in Indian infrastructure history.

The Bengal Gazette (also known as Hicky's Bengal Gazette) was founded by James Augustus Hicky in 1780 and is recognized as India's first newspaper. It was a weekly publication published in Calcutta (now Kolkata).

Hargobind Khorana won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968 for his work on interpreting the genetic code and protein synthesis. He shared the prize with Marshall W. Nirenberg and Robert W. Holley. Khorana was born in India and later became a US citizen.

CIRUS (Canada-India Reactor, U.S.) was India's first nuclear research reactor, commissioned in 1960 at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay, Mumbai. It was built with Canadian assistance and was a 40 MW thermal reactor used for research and isotope production.

This is a classic trick question that tests attention to detail. A toaster transforms bread INTO toast, so what you PUT IN is bread, not toast. The phrasing can confuse readers who jump to the word association with 'toaster'.

This is a classic riddle that tests careful reading. The key word is 'survivors' - you don't bury survivors because they are still alive! You bury victims, not survivors. The lengthy political context about Germany is irrelevant distraction.

To solve this question, the user needs to know the number of minutes in an hour and the angle moved by the hour hand in one minute.

The hour hand of a clock completes one full revolution of 360 degrees in 12 hours, or 720 minutes. Thus, in one minute, the hour hand moves 360/720 = 1/2 of a degree.

To find the answer, we need to multiply the number of degrees moved by the hour hand in one minute by the number of minutes in an hour:

1/2 * 60 = 30

Therefore, the hour hand on the clock moves 30 degrees in one hour.

Now let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. 360 degrees: This option is incorrect. The hour hand of a clock does not move 360 degrees in one hour, as it only completes 1/12th of a revolution.

B. 60 degrees: This option is incorrect. The minute hand of a clock moves 60 degrees in one hour, but the hour hand moves much less.

C. 1 degree: This option is incorrect. The hour hand moves much more than 1 degree in one hour.

D. 120 degrees: This option is incorrect. The hour hand moves 30 degrees in one hour, not 120 degrees.

Therefore, The Answer is: C. 1 degree.
