There are seven colleagues – P, Q, R, S, T, U and V who get different salaries. Their salaries are 10000, 12000, 14000, 15000, 18000, 20000 and 22000 (not necessarily in the same order). V neither gets highest salary nor the lowest one. Only three people get the higher salary than S. P gets less salary than V and the difference between their salaries is Rs. 4000. T gets higher salary than U but lesser than R. U gets higher salary than Q. Q does not get a salary of Rs. 12000. Which of the following statement is true?
In the question given below,three paragraphs are given, which arejumbled. Find the correct sequence ofthese paragraphs so that they form ameaningful passage.
A. Climate change is warming the ocean,but its warming land faster and thatsreally bad news for air quality all overthe world, says a new University ofCalifornia, Riverside study. The study,published February 4 in Nature ClimateChange, shows that the contrast inwarming between the continents andsea, called the land-sea warmingcontrast, drives an increasedconcentration of aerosols in theatmosphere that cause airpollution. Aerosols affect the climatesystem, including disturbances to thewater cycle, as well as human health.They also cause smog and other kinds ofair pollution that can lead to healthproblems for people, animals, andplants.
B. To determine this, the researchersran simulations of climate change undertwo scenarios. The first assumed abusiness-as-usual warming model, inwhich warming proceeds at a constant,upward rate. The second model probeda scenario in which the land warmed lessthan expected. In the business-as-usualscenario, enhanced land warmingincreased continental aridity and,subsequently, the concentration ofaerosols that leads to more air pollution.
C. A robust response to an increase ingreenhouse gases is that the land isgoing to warm faster than the ocean.This enhanced land warming is alsoassociated with increased continental
aridity. The increase in aridity leads todecreased low cloud cover and less rain,which is the main way that aerosols areremoved from the atmosphere.

Q is more water demanding than T but is second lowest yielder, S is the slowest growing and least water demanding of all crops but gives highest yield. R is more water demanding and grows faster than P. Select the crop or crops that has/ have as many as crops that are more water demanding and as many as crops that give less yield than it. 
Two particles of equal masses are connected by an inextensible string of length L. One of the masses is constrained to moves on the surface of a horizontal table. The string passes through a small hole in the table and the other mass is hanging below the table. The only constraint is that the first mass moves on the surface of the table. The number of degree of freedom of the masses string system is
Statement (I): Piston temperature profiles near full load are flattened in case of liquid cooled engines whereas for air cooled engines temperature profiles are steeper. Statement (II): The piston temperature profiles are different in nature for liquid cooled and air cooled engines because of the different values of heat capacities.
