GKToday said in June 25th, 2011

The correct answer is Eucalyptus only. This question is a 10th class Geography question and reference is

here. Also note that since introduced in 1790s during times of Tipu Sultan at Nandi Hills in Karnataka,

Eucalyptus has grown rapidly and there are more than 5 species flourished in the area in the question, which

failed at other parts of India.

GKToday said in June 25th, 2011

Regarding Mirage, I think it would be better if we understand how does it work. Regarding your comment

that "miraj is example only and only total internal reflection of light . you are wrong this time..." I would like

you to read this para and understand how refraction plays role in Mirage.

I never said that I may not be wrong ever. Not working here for false bravado. Thanks for your comments.
