4Identify the invalid email ID and specify the reason.
i. Aayush. gmail.com
ii. School_yahoo.com
iii. Suhana@rediffmail.com
Show solution
Given: Three email IDs to be checked for validity.

Concept: A valid email ID must follow the format: username@domainname.extension
- It must contain the '@' symbol separating the username from the domain name.
- The username can contain letters, numbers, dots (.), underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
- There must be a domain name followed by a dot and an extension (e.g., .com, .in).

Analysis of each email ID:

| Email ID | Valid / Invalid | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Aayush. gmail.com | Invalid | It does not contain the '@' symbol. A dot (.) has been used instead of '@' to separate the username from the domain. The correct format should be Aayush@gmail.com |
| School_yahoo.com | Invalid | It does not contain the '@' symbol at all. The underscore (_) has been used instead of '@'. The correct format should be School@yahoo.com |
| Suhana@rediffmail.com | Valid | It follows the correct format — username (Suhana) + @ symbol + domain name (rediffmail) + extension (.com). |

Conclusion:
- Email IDs (i) Aayush. gmail.com and (ii) School_yahoo.com are invalid because they are missing the mandatory '@' symbol.
- Email ID (iii) Suhana@rediffmail.com is valid.

6My teacher has asked me to write an essay on 'Green Revolution', and also I need to prepare a list of 'Keywords' for searching information on the topic. I have prepared a list, help me to identify which of the keywords are not much useful among the following:
- Agriculture
- Norman Borlaug
- M.S. Swaminathan
- Wheat farming
- Dairy farming
- Fish farming
- Crop yield
- Genetically modified crops
- Biotechnology
Show solution
Given: A list of keywords prepared for searching information on the topic 'Green Revolution'. We need to identify which keywords are NOT much useful.

Concept: The Green Revolution refers to a period (mainly 1960s–70s) of agricultural transformation that involved the development of high-yielding varieties of crops (especially wheat and rice), use of fertilisers, pesticides, and irrigation to increase food grain production. Effective keywords should be specific and directly related to the topic.

Analysis of each keyword:

| Keyword | Useful / Not Much Useful | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Agriculture | Not much useful | Too broad and general. Searching 'Agriculture' will give millions of unrelated results not specific to Green Revolution. |
| Norman Borlaug | Useful | He was the father of the Green Revolution and developed high-yielding wheat varieties. Directly relevant. |
| M.S. Swaminathan | Useful | He is known as the father of the Green Revolution in India. Directly relevant. |
| Wheat farming | Useful | Wheat was the primary crop of the Green Revolution. Relevant and specific. |
| Dairy farming | Not much useful | Dairy farming is related to the White Revolution (Operation Flood), not the Green Revolution. Not relevant. |
| Fish farming | Not much useful | Fish farming is related to the Blue Revolution, not the Green Revolution. Not relevant. |
| Crop yield | Useful | Increasing crop yield was the main objective of the Green Revolution. Relevant. |
| Genetically modified crops | Useful | Related to modern agricultural biotechnology which evolved from Green Revolution research. Relevant. |
| Biotechnology | Not much useful | Too broad. While biotechnology has some connection, the keyword alone will not give specific Green Revolution results. |

Keywords that are NOT much useful:
1. Agriculture — too general and broad.
2. Dairy farming — related to White Revolution, not Green Revolution.
3. Fish farming — related to Blue Revolution, not Green Revolution.
4. Biotechnology — too broad; not specific to Green Revolution.

Conclusion: To get precise and relevant search results about the Green Revolution, one should use specific keywords like Norman Borlaug, M.S. Swaminathan, Wheat farming, Crop yield, and Genetically modified crops, and avoid overly broad or unrelated terms.
