What is the smallest desert of the world ??

 The  Carcross desert located near Carcross in Yukon, Canada  is the world's smallest desert.


It is technically a series of sand dunes, spanning about 1 square Mile.


Technically, some scientists say it is not a " true  " desert because the rainfall is very high.



Its  a sub Arctic environment receiving significant precipitation making it much wetter than typical hot deserts.




It is actually a sandy bottom of a drained glacier lake from last ice age  !!!

How many paise for 1 rupee??

 We know that 100 paise for 1 rupee. 


But I am talking about in the year 1954 , how many paise for 1 rupee   ?? 

1.  50  paise

2.  32 paise

3.  64 paise

4.  48 paise


When this question was asked on koun banega karodpati program, I was just clueless   !!!! 


Nowadays, inflation is much more higher that we have demonetised the paisa from year 2011.


In 1957, India adopted decimal system for its currency.  Before to that, one rupee was divided into 16 annas.


==>>   16   annas   =     64   paise

==>>  1  anna   =     4   paise


Before to 1957 ,  1 rupee  ==  64  paise


Answer             64   paise    !!!!

Bheja Fry question

 This Bheja Fry question  I found on Internet.


It may look small and easy, but trust me it is not  !!!


Question 


If            5  +   3   =   28

                9  +  1  =  810

                8   +  6   =   214


Then       7  +  4   =  ???



Answer 


We know  5  +  3  =  8.  But here it is given that it is     28  !!!!


Before going to next line, we must come to know on what basis, 5 + 3  s 28


Since it is a brain teaser, we can apply all the mathematical function in whatever the way we want to get the answer  !!!!


We know  5  - 3  =  2


And        5  +  3   =   8


Putting these two results side  by  side, we get 


                5  +  3   = 28    !!!!


Now similarly,  7   +   4  =   311.

Which celestial bodies of solar system got rings ??

 When we think of a planet with rings, we always think of planet Saturn.


But Saturn is not the only planet that have rings.


I can say Saturn is not the only celestial body with rings in our solar system  !!!


All the 4 gas giants, Jupier  Saturn Uranus and Neptune have rings surrounding them.


Rings are mostly made of ice, dust and small rocks.


Saturn's rings are made of ice.

Jupiter's rings are made of dust.

Uranus and Neptune's rings are made of both.


Dust rings appear much fainter than ice rings. Thus making harder for us to see.


These many planets have rings around them and these rings are not permanent eventually they get vanish.


Not only these planets,  some dwarf planets and asteroids too have ring system   !!!



Dwarf planets  -----


1. Haumea

              It is a dwarf planet in Kuiper belt has rings.


2.  Quaoar

             Another dwarf planet in Kuiper belt having rings.




Asteroids with rings or moon 


1.  Chariklo 

              It is a centaur asteroid having two rings.


2. Some asteroids have moon or binary companion.
