    • The Soyuz carries people and supplies to and from the space station.
    • The Soyuz can also bring people back to Earth.
    • Russian crew members are called cosmonauts.
    • NASA crew members from the United States are called astronauts.
    • Crew members from Europe, Canada, and Japan are also called astronauts.
    • The Soyuz takes cosmonauts and astronauts to and from the space station.
    • A Soyuz has room for three people to ride in it.
    • The spacecraft also brings food and water to the space station.
    • At least one Soyuz is always attached to the space station.
    • If there were an emergency on the space station, the crew could use the Soyuz to leave the space station and return to Earth.

Additional Information

  • Sputnik - II:
    • Sputnik II was the second spacecraft launched into Earth orbit and was the first such biological spacecraft.
    • It was a 4-meter high cone-shaped capsule with a base diameter of 2 meters.
    • It contained several compartments for radio transmitters, a telemetry system, a programming unit, a regeneration and temperature control system for the cabin, and scientific instruments.
    • A separate sealed cabin contained the experimental dog Laika.
    • Engineering and biological data were transmitted using the Tral D telemetry system, which would transmit data to Earth for 15 minutes of each orbit.
  • Zond:
    • The Zond Program was one of two lunar exploration programs conducted by the Soviet Union to investigate the Moon and its vicinity.
    • This program began in 1964 and ended in 1979.
    • While the Zond program is considered here as a lunar program, it should be noted that Zond 1 was sent in the direction of Venus and Zond 2 in the direction of Mars.
    • Also, the later Zond missions (4-8) were tests for manned lunar missions as well as missions for collecting information about the Moon.
  • Venera:
    • Venera is a Soviet spacecraft, was the first lander to transmit color images from the surface of Venus.
    • Although other landers arrived before and after it, pictures from Venera 13 are more widely circulated because they are in color.
    • The spacecraft was designed to last about half an hour on Venus' harsh surface, but it ended up transmitting data for more than 2 hours after its landing on March 1, 1982.
    • No lander has ventured to the surface of Venus since the 1980s, although several orbiters have made the journey.

In the question below is given a statement numbered I, II and III. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement. Statement: Summer is slowly fading away, but the sales of super premium and craft beers continue to sizzle. And now the FIFA World Cup football in Russia, as many football fans head out to the pubs every evening to watch matches, is adding some more fizz to the market. For young millennials, especially in Indian metros, it’s also time to seek out new craft and super-premium beers. According to a report by Euromonitor International last year, there is likely to be a further rise of craft beers in India this year. The report says that the huge success of B9 Beverages’ Bira 91 is expected to further encourage many global players to introduce their own craft beers.  Assumptions: I. Additionally, with this category being largely underdeveloped, many new players are also expected to emerge.  II. Likewise, a recent report by BMI Research of Business Monitor International, too, sees a strong growth for the beer market in India in 2018 on the back of changing cultural attitudes and a young, increasingly affluent population, demand for premium and craft beers is rapidly emerging. III. With growth in demand from Indian beer connoisseurs, who don’t mind paying a premium, it’s no surprise that importers and local brewers have launched over 20 new and fresh flavours this summer, including niche craft beers produced in small breweries.
Station 1, Station, 2 and station 3 are three towns on a river which flows uniformly. Station 2 is equidistant from station 1 and station 3. A man rows a boat from station 1 to station 2 and back in 17 hours. He can row from station 1 to station 3 in 7 hours. Find the ratio between the speed of boat in still water to the speed of flow of water?
In this question, a passage and a related statement have been given. Read the passage carefully and assess the statement based on it. Using knives and screws, two Russian astronauts on Tuesday took a sample of substance around a mysterious cavity of the spacecraft called the Soyuz, which was placed in the International Space Station, a Moscow official suggested that it was a break - It can also be done. In August, two months after the last visit of the vehicle, the air leak was detected in the Soyuz spacecraft due to the 2 mm air in the ISS. Roskosmos, an astronomical institute, says that cutting off the insulation on the hole and sampling the material around it and the purpose of putting a new insulation on it is to find out that this small but dangerous hole has been done on earth or Is in space. The chief of Roskosmos has said that the error of manufacturing has not been found in the investigation. Experienced astronauts had to struggle but they managed their mission. Before the spacewalk, astronauts were able to inspect the hole just from within the spacecraft. The biggest difficulty was that in the Soyuz spacecraft, the ISS was not designed to improve during adverse weather space, and no railing was also made to catch the space passengers outside the vehicle. Statement: In the Soyuz spacecraft, the air leak due to the presence of the leak was detected after two months of the last visit. Select the appropriate from the given options A - Statement is completely true B - The statement is possibly true C - the statement can not be determined D - Statement is completely false

There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E. On some one day train N leaves from station A to station B 20 minutes late than its usual schedule. Both Train N and Train S have increased their speed to maintain the schedule as per the table. If the superfast train doubles its speed, then what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of the passenger train to the speed of the superfast train so that the passenger train reaches the station on that day at the exact scheduled time.
