The world may have misunderstood the meaning of a famous

According to a research article, the historian Suetonius says that as

emotional declaration of a shocked and heartbroken man but
more along the lines of ‘See you in hell, punk.’

A few years after X was set up in 1981, Sharad

emerging opportunity.

Q.14
This is an old mythological story.
The god Prometheus stole fire from heaven to give to the human race, which originally consisted
only of men. To punish humanity, the other gods created the first woman, the beautiful Y. As a gift,
Zeus gave her a box, which she was told never to open. However, as soon as he was out of sight
she took off the lid, and out swarmed all the troubles of the world, never to be recaptured. Only
Hope was left in the box, stuck under the lid.
How the first woman failed to contain her curiosity is deemed as a symbol of the evils that are
brought to life by a curious woman if she fails to listen to God.
Y was also the name of the planet ,in the movie Z which was
a blockbuster during it’s time for it’s visual effects. Identify

The XY (two worded term), hugely popular these days due to the

actually an ironic name.
In software engineering, X is used as a label for a very early version of
a software that is incredibly unstable to use and not safe to be
released to the public. In physics, X is a type of radiation that has zero
penetration ability but if it does get inside of someone, it would cause
long lasting biological damage.
