Which of the following is a non-renewable energy resource? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a non-renewable energy resource?
A. Tidal energy
B. Wind energy
C. Coal
D. Solar energy
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Coal is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years and is finite, thus non-renewable. Solar, wind, and tidal energy are renewable and replenishable. Non-renewable resources include coal, petroleum, natural gas, and nuclear minerals. Overexploitation leads to depletion and environmental pollution. Conservation of such resources is essential for sustainable development.

Question #3
In the human eye, the defect of vision where the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina, is called:
A. Hypermetropia (Farsightedness)
B. Astigmatism
C. Myopia (Nearsightedness)
D. Presbyopia

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry, but near objects are clear. It occurs when the eyeball is elongated (axial myopia) or the cornea/lens is too curved (refractive myopia), causing light rays from distant objects to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. It is corrected using a concave (diverging) lens. Hypermetropia is the opposite, corrected with a convex lens.
