6. Q1.
In July 2011, an app was launched for IOS named Picaboo. Later, it went on to become the famous
app X.
Mark Zuckerberg, meanwhile, sitting on the world's biggest social networking site, boasting 500
million users knew his success depended on staying relevant. To do so, Facebook launched a new
feature in which the content will disappear after 24 hours which is copy of the one of the features of
X.
In December 2012, Facebook also launched an app called Poke which was a copycat version of X and
included more features — but eventually failed for a variety of reasons, ranging from Facebook's
"open" public perception to the simple fact that X got to "ephemeral messaging" first.

22. Q9.
A common myth is that it was named after a room at CERN, where the original web
servers were located. However, Tom S. tells us: "Having visited CERN myself, I can tell
you that Room X is not on the fourth floor - the CERN office numbering system
doesn't work like that - the first digit usually refers to the building number, and the
second two to the office number. But, strangely, there is no room... don't ask me why.
Sorry to disappoint you all, but there is no Room X in CERN - it simply doesn't exist,
and certainly hasn't been preserved as "the place where the web began". In fact, there is
a display about this, including a model of the first NeXT server, but the whole "Room
X" thing is just a myth.
What apparent origin theory is being debunked here?

28. Q12.
The digital Casio wristwatch F-91W, which was released in the early 1990s and costs only $20, is a worldwide best-
seller. It's waterproof, highly accurate, features a stopwatch, seconds timer, alarm, hourly beep, an easy-to-use
backlight, an average battery life of seven years, and was widely available. A compass, which is supposed to point in
a specified direction, is another key feature.
According to US Government report all the above features made this product an appropriate choice for operations
carried out by an infamous organization. The association between this product (watch) and the organisation was so
strong that in the view of US agencies, people who owned this product were kept under radar and were assumed to
be potentially related to the organization.
A presumably pious figure to this organization who rejected branded items and anything deemed “Western,” was
seen wearing an F-91W in a number of recorded public videos.
Identify the organization & the personality being talked about ?

pollution. Currently X is India's largest mango exporter. About 127 varieties of mangoes are
