7 Questions

The answer of the first question starts with S, the answer of the second with Y and so on

+10 for each correct answer

35

S X is a global online audio distribution platform based in Berlin, Germany, that enables its users to upload, record, promote, and share their originally-created sounds. The founders initially aspired to allow musicians to share recordings with each other, but the concept later transformed into a full publishing tool that also allowed musicians to distribute their music tracks.

In 2014, Turkey banned X because a user uploaded seven secretly recorded calls revealing private conversations between the Turkish Prime Minister and others.

36

Y The company was founded in 1946 by Minoru Yoneyama as a producer of wooden floats for fishing nets. The company was later forced out of this market because of the invention of plastic floats. This led to a commitment by Yoneyama to never again be left behind by technological advancements.

The company also has an advisory panel of which Saina Nehwal is the only Indian on board.

37

N Nita Ambani‟s shopping list includes 25,000 pieces of X for her high-rise home, Antilla. For this, she settled on the 106-year-old Japanese brand Y. Interestingly, the big-ticket order was not placed at the exclusive showroom in Mumbai's Kemps Corner, a stone's throw from the Ambani tower. Rather, she chose Sri Lanka for this acquisition as Y is 70-80% cheaper there than elsewhere in the world, including India. This is because the Japanese brand has its largest manufacturing facility in Sri Lanka.

Her thrift, therefore, was complimented by social commentator Shobhaa De. "If she is indeed buying her X from Sri Lanka, I would say that she is a practical Gujju housewife, cost-conscious and sensible and I admire her for it," Ms De said. "Why should she pay five times more for something here? She is setting a good example for others to follow!"

Identify Y.

38

E Leontopodium alpinum, usually called X is a well-known mountain flower, belonging to the Asteraceae (the daisy or sunflower family). X literally translates to “noble-white” (German to English).

A company headquartered in Mumbai has the same name. Identify X.

39

R X is a Japanese electronic commerce and Internet company based in Tokyo, Japan. Its e-commerce platform, X Ichiba, is the largest e-commerce site in Japan and among the world‟s largest by sales. Its acquisitions include Buy.com, Priceminister, Ikeda, Tradoria, Play.com, Wuaki.tv and Kobo Inc.

Flipkart recently exited its e-books business, transferring its users to X Kobo.

Identify X.

40

G X was founded by Bob Parsons. Prior to X, Parsons sold his financial software services company, "Parsons Technology, Inc." to Intuit. The sale provided him with several million dollars in the mid-1990s. As a result, Parsons decided to retire.

Parsons came out of his retirement in 1997 to launch Jomax Technologies, which later became X Group Inc.

In 2013, Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in a series of X commercials as a means for the company to stray away from its raunchy image. In the commercials, Van Damme is seen doing the splits while playing musical instruments before he appears upside down in front of the business owner and whispers, "It's Go Time”.

41

Y Among the many people who died in the 26/11 attacks was Ashok Kapur. Kapur was the founding-promoter of ___ _____ and held nearly 12% in the company at the time of his death.

Q.4. During World War II, X was inspired to contribute to the war effort by designing a jam-proof radio guidance system for torpedoes. With the help of composer George Antheil, she drafted designs for a new frequency-hopping spread-spectrum technology which they later patented.

X and Antheil realized that radio-controlled torpedoes, while important in the naval war, could easily be jammed, which caused the torpedo to go off course. With the knowledge she had gained about torpedoes from her first husband, and using a method similar to the way piano rolls work, they designed a frequency-hopping system that would continually change the radio signals sent to the torpedo.

Their invention was granted a patent on 11 August 1942. Yet, it was technologically difficult to implement, and the U.S. Navy was not receptive to considering inventions coming from outside the military at the time. Only in 1962, at the time of the Cuban missile crisis, did an updated version of their design appear on Navy ships. The design is one of the basics behind today's spread-spectrum communication technology, such as GPS, Bluetooth, wireless and cell phones, and Wi-Fi networks. (Image on next slide)
