Question 

Which present day Union territory has its colonial town divided into French town and Indian town ??

1.  Goa

2.  Daman and Diu

3.  Pondicherry 

4.   Andaman and Nicobar islands 

Answer 

Question was talking about colonial town which is now, an Union territory.

In the question it was said that it is divided into French Town and Indian town.

This means colonial power is  FRANCE   !!!

Now looking at the options,

Goa was the Portuguese colony.

Similarly Daman and Diu.

So Goa and Daman and Diu  are ruled out.!!!

Andaman and Nicobar islands were directly governed by  British.

Andaman and Nicobar islands are ruled out !!!

Remaining is Pondicherry or Puducherry.

It is also known as   "  Little France  " !!!

Puducherry has rich French colonial history and cultural influence.

Its architecture, cuisine and heritage still reflects French influence !!!

Puduchery was home to both native Indians and French nationals.

French people were not mingling with native Indians thinking that Indians are black.

A small water canal was seperating the houses.

That's why it was divided into French Town and Indian town.

Correct answer      PUDUCHERRY   !!!

What happens if we don't switch to airplane mode on flights ??

 Answer is nothing  !!!

Nothing terrible is going to happen at once  !!!

People are afraid that if the mobile phone remains switched ON, there would be some emergency for the aircraft.

NO NEED TO FEAR   !!!

Aircrafts these days are built with such advanced technology as to ensure aircrafts are resistant to any form of consumer electronics devices' interference.

But it does not make airplane mode, pointless  !!!

When airplane mode is activated, mobile's cellular radio is turned off preventing the device from connecting to ground based cell towers.

Then, phone may continue to establish connection while the aircraft is taking off, in flight or landing.

This can lead to,

1.  Increased battery usage.

2.  Limited connectivity 

3.  Interference or additional noise 

When airplane mode is activated, many airlines allow passengers to turn WiFi and Bluetooth back on separately.

Always follow the airlines onboard device rules.

Does parking in the shade prevents fuel evaporation loss in summer ??

  Parking in the shade minimally reduces actual fuel evaporation.  

But improves fuel efficiency by lowering AC demand !!!

Shade prevents UV rays from  cracking  dashboard or fading upholstery.

Improves life of car battery.

TO REDUCE FUEL EVAPORATION UNNECESSARY 

1.  Checking the loose or damaged gas cap.

2.  Buying fuel early in the morning make sure that fuel is cooler and denser.

3.  Before switching ON AC, drive with windows down for  1 - 2 minutes to push hot air out.

SHADE IS ONLY FOR COMFORT AND AC EFFICIENCY.

NOT RELATED TO FUEL LOSS   !!!
