Sustainability can be achieved in the development processes by 

  1. Recycling resources wherever possible

  2. Using non-renewable resources wherever possible

  3. Using conventional sources of energy

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Recycling is an important part of a sustainability. It helps to preserve the resources available in the society and to reduce the impact of processing these resources on the planet. As a result, human health improves due to fewer pollutants and ecological balance is maintained. This leads to a development without compromising the needs of the future generation. Thus the correct answer is option A.

Value of a resource depends upon

  1. Quantity of resource

  2. Quality of resource

  3. Type of society and its needs

  4. All the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The resources are the substances which can be harnessed for the production of energy. The value of the resource depends on the quantity and the quality. The quantity describes the amount of the resource which is present on the Earth and available for use. The quality is the form in which the resource can is present and needs to be transformed so that it can be used. The metals are obtained as ores and should be purified to pure quality for use. The value depends on the type and the need of society. When there is more population residing in a society, the requirement will be more and the value of the resource will increase. 

Thus, the correct answer is option D. 

Conservation of energy leads to

  1. Less pollution

  2. Less cost

  3. Conservation of resources

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Conservation is the process in which the resources are used in a sustainable manner without affecting the environment. When the energy resources are conserved, this will reduce the emissions of harmful pollutants and cause less pollution. The cost required for the treatment of the polluted resources will be reduced. Also, the cost required for the production of new resources for energy will be reduced. The conservation and proper use of the energy will lead to protection of the resources for the future generation. 

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Percentage of photosynthetically active radiation(PAR) that is captured by plants in synthesis of organic matter is?

  1. $50-70\%$

  2. $30-40\%$

  3. $80-100\%$

  4. $2-10\%$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

About $1-5\%$ of incident solar energy or $2-10\%$ of PAR is captured by the photosynthetic organisms for the synthesis of organic matter(Gross primary productivity). Roughly $20\%$ of it is consumed in respiration so that net capture of energy(net primary productivity) is $0.8-4\%$ of incident radiation or $1.6-8\%$ of PAR.
