According to Little, ‘Human communication is the process by which information is passed between people by means of previously agreed symbols, in order to produce the desired response’. Whereas Berlo tried to explain communication as S-M-C-R Model that stands for Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver. It is the basic communication process.

Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person's frame of reference, i.e., the capacity to place oneself in another's position. Apathy is the opposite in meaning to it.

A : B : C is 3 : 4 : 5 and A + B + C = 40 × 3 = 120
B's age = (4/12) x 120 = 40
So, answer option (3) is correct.

- The UGC (University Grants Commission) regulations 2018 for the Prevention of Plagiarism define different levels of plagiarism and prescribe actions based on the severity of the copied content.

- Level 1 plagiarism is considered when the similarity index is up to 10%, requiring the student to submit a revised script within a stipulated time.

- Level 2 plagiarism is identified when the similarity index is between 10% to 40%. This level requires the student to be debarred from submitting a revised script for a period determined by the institution.

- Level 3 plagiarism is the most severe, identified when the similarity index exceeds 40%. This level has more severe consequences, including cancellation of the registration for the course.

- Given the options:
- A. 38%
- B. 45%
- C. 54%
- D. 63%
- E. 71%

- According to the UGC regulations, any similarity above 40% falls under Level 3 plagiarism.

- Analyzing the options based on the UGC guidelines:
- A. 38% would not constitute Level 3 plagiarism as it is below the 40% threshold.
- B. 45%, C. 54%, D. 63%, and E. 71% all exceed the 40% threshold, thus falling under Level 3 plagiarism.

- However, the question asks which among the provided options would constitute Level 3 plagiarism, and based on the UGC regulations 2018:

- Statement A (38%) is incorrect because it is below the 40% threshold for Level 3 plagiarism.
- Statement B (45%) is correct, as it exceeds the 40% threshold.
- Statement C (54%) is correct, as it exceeds the 40% threshold.
- Statement D (63%) is correct, as it exceeds the 40% threshold.
- Statement E (71%) is correct, as it exceeds the 40% threshold.

- Therefore, the correct answer is option 3 (D and E only), which seems to be a mistake in the provided solution. Based on the UGC guidelines, the correct interpretation should be that options B, C, D, and E all correctly represent instances of Level 3 plagiarism.

- Hence, the provided correct option (option 3) is incorrect based on the UGC regulations 2018 for the Prevention of Plagiarism. The accurate interpretation should include options B, C, D, and E as constituting Level 3 plagiarism.

Effective communication is a way of transferring information, thoughts and ideas to create understanding between sender and receiver. Communication is a persuasive and convincing dialogue which involves the participation of the audience through the strategic use of informal communication, also known as grapevine communication. Communication cannot be possible in one-way because it includes dispensing of information to another person.

The agenda of the Incheon Declaration held by UNESCO in 2015 is to set out a new vision for education for the next 15 years. This new vision is fully captured by the proposed SDG 4 “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.

Let the price of onions be Rs. 100/1000 grams.
Price increases by 25%, so new price is Rs. 125/kg.
Now, if a person was spending Rs. 100 on onions, he was getting 1000 grams of onions and now, he will get 1000/1.25 = 800 grams of onions
So, decreased consumption of onions = 20%

Connotative words or connotations are the words that are used to express the feelings or expressions in a sentence. When certain words are used to replace a feeling or the meaning to be conveyed, such words are called connotations. For example, Tom is feeling blue today. Here, the term "blue" denotes a feeling of sadness or not feeling energetic. It is used as a connotation. In a classroom, such communication is implicit.

Lecture, interactive lecture, Group study are the techniques used by the teacher to teach to give knowledge to students or enhance knowledge. Self-study technique is used by students not by teachers as there is no involvement of teachers.

Both the arguments highlight the importance of coal in generating electricity worldwide. This strengthens the argument that in place of replacing the coal with solar solutions, existing process must be made cleaner. So, option 4 is the correct answer.

Experimental research is conducted to study the cause and effect relationship of different phenomenon.
This involves the manipulation of one or more variables to observe the change in effect. Correlation is the mutual relationship between the variables.
In experimental research, the magnitude of the correlation yields good results.

Each letter is assigned a numerical value which is twice the numeral denoting its position in the English alphabet.
A, N and T are 1st, 14th and 20th letters, respectively.
So, ANT = A + N + T
= (1 x 2) + (14 x 2) + (20 x 2)
= 2 + 28 + 40
= 70

According to the American sociologist Earl Robert Babbie, “Research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict, and control the observed phenomenon. Research involves inductive and deductive methods.”

Post-modern Media as an aesthetic is the mixing and sampling of different kinds and levels - of hip hop music, of material in television ads, films, etc. Hybrid forms are said to level hierarchies of taste. It is said that all distinctions between high culture and popular culture have gone, or become blurred. Post-modern texts 'raid the image bank' which is so richly available through video and computer technologies, recycle some old movies and shows on television, the Internet, etc. Music, film and TV provide excellent examples of these processes.

Statement I: The Central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer that retrieves and executes instructions.

• CPU is short for Central Processing Unit. It is also known as a processor or microprocessor.
• CPU reads and executes program instructions, performs calculations, and makes decisions. 
• The CPU is mainly responsible for storing and retrieving information on disks and other media.

Hence, this statement is true.
Statement II: A monitor is an electronic input device that displays images, text, video, and graphics information.

• A monitor is an electronic output device that is also known as a video display terminal (VDT) or a video display unit (VDU). It is used to display images, text, video, and graphics information generated by a connected computer via a computer's video card.

Hence, this statement is false.

In India, qualitative research is a common type of research at the academic level. The funding agencies support both quantitative and qualitative research in academic institutions.
Quantitative research is common in scientific studies while qualitative studies are common in social sciences. But, it could not get the international standard because of several factors not only funding issues.
Some of the limitations are:

• Methodological problem
• Ethical issues
• Technological problem
• Contextual problem
• Personal issues of the researcher, etc.

Therefore, (A) is true, but (R) is false.

Our trash, or municipal solid waste (MSW), is made up of the things we commonly use and then throw away. These materials range from packaging, food scraps, and grass clippings, to old sofas, computers, tires, and refrigerators. MSW does not include industrial, hazardous, or construction waste.
Generation rates for MSW vary from city to city and from season to season and have a strong correlation with levels of economic development and activity.

The correct sequence of municipal solid waste in order of their increasing abundance is E, C, D, A, B.

Given:
I. x is exactly divisible by 5.
II. x is exactly divisible by 85. 
As we know,
A Number is divisible by 17 if it is a factor of a given number.
Statement I states that the number is completely divisible by 5, but 5 doesn't have 17 as one of its factors so we can not say that on dividing the number by 17 we get how much as the remainder.
Statement II states that a number is divisible by 85 which has 5 and 17 as its factors, so any number which is divisible by 85 is also divisible by 17 and leaves the remainder 0.
∴ Statement II alone, but not Statement I alone, is sufficient to answer the question.

The sympathy of Indian soldiers in uniform with the released I.N.A. prisoners at Lahore indicates the feeling of nationalism and fraternity.

A computer virus is a malicious software program loaded onto a user's computer without the user's knowledge and performs malicious actions.
