Answers
1.What
does the Olympic Flame symbolize?
(C)Continuity.....
The
Olympic flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire
from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where
a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. The
fire was introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, and it has been
part of the modern Olympic Games ever since. In contrast to the Olympic flame
proper, the torch relay of modern times, which transports the flame from Greece
to the various designated sites of the games, had no ancient precedent and was
introduced by Carl Diem at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.

(A)Tarapur

Tarapur
Atomic Power Station (T.A.P.S.) is located in Tarapur, Maharashtra (India). It
was initially constructed with two boiling water reactor (BWR) units of 210 MWe
each initially by Bechtel and GE under the 1963 123 Agreement between India,
the United States, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. The capacity of
units 1 and 2 was reduced to 160 MWe later on due to technical difficulties. These were the first of their kind in Asia.
More recently, an additional two pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR) units
of 540 MW each were constructed by L & T and Gammon India, seven months
ahead of schedule and well within the original cost estimates. With a total capacity of 1400 MW,
Tarapur is the largest nuclear power station in India. The facility is operated
by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL).

the Oxus River (Amu Darya), and later based near Kabul, Afghanistan. The
Kushans spread from the Kabul River Valley to defeat other Central Asian tribes
that had previously conquered parts of the northern central Iranian Plateau
once ruled by the Parthians, and reached their peak under the Buddhist emperor
Kanishka (127–151), whose realm stretched from Turfan in the Tarim Basin to
Pataliputra on the Gangetic Plain.
