Match the following communication systems (P–T) to their type (i–vi) and select the correct sequence:
Match the following communication systems (P–T) to their type (i–vi) and select the correct sequence:
Show Hint
- P-(iii), Q-(v), R-(i), S-(ii), T-(iv)
- P-(v), Q-(vi), R-(ii), S-(iv), T-(iii)
- P-(iv), Q-(v), R-(iii), S-(ii), T-(vi)
- P-(ii), Q-(vi), R-(v), S-(iii), T-(i)
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Symbolic signs are arbitrary, iconic signs resemble what they signify, and indexical signs have a direct physical or causal link. Discrete systems use distinct units, while continuous systems vary along a scale.
Step 2: Matching each communication system.
Bird song is symbolic and discrete as it consists of learned, patterned units.
Emojis function iconically and discretely as visual representations of emotions or ideas.
Footprints on the beach are indexical and discrete since they directly indicate presence.
Bee dance direction is symbolic and continuous, conveying information through gradation of movement.
Bird calls are indexical and continuous, varying in intensity and directly tied to stimuli.
Step 3: Verifying the sequence.
The correct matching corresponds to option (A).
Final Answer: (A)

- An organization allows its employees to work independently on consultancy projects but charges an overhead on the consulting fee.
The overhead is 20% of the consulting fee if the fee is up to ₹5,00,000.
For higher fees, the overhead is ₹1,00,000 plus 10% of the amount by which the fee exceeds ₹5,00,000.
The government charges a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 18% on the total amount (i.e., the consulting fee plus the overhead).
An employee of the organization charges this entire amount — that is, the consulting fee, overhead, and tax — to the client.
If the client cannot pay more than ₹10,00,000, what is the maximum consulting fee that the employee can charge? Eight students (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) are playing musical chairs. The figure indicates their order of position at the start of the game. They play the game by moving forward in a circle in the clockwise direction.
After the 1st round, the 4th student behind P leaves the game.
After the 2nd round, the 5th student behind Q leaves the game.
After the 3rd round, the 3rd student behind V leaves the game.
After the 4th round, the 4th student behind U leaves the game.
Who all are left in the game after the 4th round?
