Q.2) X is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by Michael Stipe (lead vocals), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass guitar), and Bill Berry (drums and percussion). After considering names like "Twisted Kites", "Cans of Piss", and "Negro Wives", the band settled on X , which Stipe selected at random from a dictionary.

X became one of the most popular alternative rock bands, and gained early attention due to its first single, "Radio Free Europe". "Losing My Religion" was X's highest-charting single in the US and eventually in 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The band has been actively involved in social awareness programs and famously helped raise awareness of Aung San Suu Kyi and human rights violations in Burma, when they worked with the Freedom Campaign and the US Campaign for Burma.

The name 'X' also means the roentgen equivalent in man which is a unit of radiation dose. It is the product of the absorbed dose in röntgens (R) and the biological efficiency of the radiation.

Q.3) This organization was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1971 to oppose the United States testing nuclear devices in Alaska. The focus of the organization later turned to other issues: whaling, bottom trawling, global warming, old growth and nuclear power. Name this organization.

Q.4) Born in Germany, X is often renowned as 'the prince of mathematicians". A story goes that in primary school, X's teacher, J.G. Büttner, tried to occupy pupils by making them add a list of integers. The young X reputedly produced the correct answer within seconds, to the astonishment of his teacher. In his later life, he managed to predict the trajectory of the asteroid Ceres with very high accuracy and when he was asked how he did it, he replied, "I used logarithms." The questioner then wanted to know how he had been able to look up so many numbers from the tables so quickly. "Look them up?" X responded. "Who needs to look them up? I just calculate them in my head!"
Name X.

Q.5) This is one of those wonderful stories of innovation and its practical use.
The first innovation came when the Houston Baseball Stadium (whr the Houston team plays its home matches) was converted into an indoor stadium by constructing a huge dome of glass over it. Although this move elated the spectators, the baseball players complained that they couldn't spot the ball clearly due to the glare from the glass dome above.
In order to solve this problem, they decided to paint the galss dome gray. Now this resulted in an entirely new problem. The problem became so bad that the stadium no longer looked suitable for play.
