Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements.
- Sovereign equality means all states are equal under international law in spite of inequalities between them in areas such as military power, geographical and population size and economic development.
- The UN Charter does not recognise the principle of Sovereign equality, but recognises the doctrine of collective security.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
Sovereign equality is juridical in nature, i.e., all states are equal under international law in spite of inequalities between them in areas such as military power, geographical and population size, levels of industrialisation and economic development. Sovereign equality, along with collective security, is a fundamental principle of the UN. The UN Charter states that the primary objective of the UN is to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.
The UN Charter contains the doctrine of collective security in Article 39: “The Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression and shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following pairs.
- Absolute humidity: the mass of water vapour in a given volume of the air and water vapour mixture
- Specific humidity: It is equal to the mass of the moisture divided by the mass of air
- Relative humidity: it factors in the amount of vapour that air can hold at different temperatures.
How many of the above pairs is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air around us, and there are three ways to track it. The most common of them is absolute humidity: the mass of water vapour in a given volume of the air and water vapour mixture, expressed as kg/m3. The second is specific humidity, equal to the mass of the moisture divided by the mass of air. It is expressed as a dimensionless number (but sometimes also as grams per kilogram, among other similar units.)
The third way is relative humidity: it is important because it factors in the amount of vapour that air can hold at different temperatures.
