Q-1) In which year were TV licences introduced in the UK
Ans ) When first introduced on 1 June 1946, the licence covering the monochrome-only single-channel BBC television service cost £2, the equivalent of £57 in 2006. On 1 January 1968, a 'colour supplement' of £5 was added to the existing £5 monochrome licence fee; the combined colour licence fee was therefore £10, the equivalent of £120 in 2006. The current (2008) cost is £ for colour TV and £ for monochrome TV, per household.
A similar licence, mandated by the 1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act, used to exist for radios powered by mains electricity (battery sets did not need a licence), but this was abolished in 1971. These licences were originally issued by the General Post Office (GPO), which was then the regulator of public communications within the UK. For a more detailed historical explanation see British Broadcasting Company.

2- Which designer (brand) created the Kelly bag?
Ans) Women the world over love the classic lines of a Hermès Kelly bag. Named after Grace Kelly, Princess Grace of Monaco, the Kelly is one of the greatest bags of our time.
The Kelly bag, however, has enjoyed a longer life than its sibling, when it was thrust into the limelight in 1956.

By what name is the Gravelly Hill Interchange better known?
Ans) Gravelly Hill Interchange, better known as Spaghetti Junction. The junction covers 30 acres (12 hectares), serves 18 routes, and includes 4 km (2.5 miles) of slip roads, but only 1 km (0.6 miles) of the M6 itself. Across 5 different levels, it has 559 concrete columns, reaching up to 24.4 meters (80 ft) in height. The engineers had to elevate thirteen and a half miles of the motorway to accommodate two railway lines, three canals, and two rivers.

What is the name of the world's highest active volcano?
Not sure, but I think... :(
The world's highest active volcano, Nevados Ojos del Salado, rises to 6887 m along the Chile-Argentina border. The volcano lies about 20 km south of the road that crosses the international border at Paso de San Francisco. The summit complex, which is elongated in a NE-SW direction and overlies a largely buried caldera, contains numerous craters, pyroclastic cones, and andesitic-to-rhyolitic lava domes and has been the source of Holocene lava flows.
A major rhyodacitic explosive eruption took place about 1000-1500 years ago, producing pumiceous pyroclastic flows. The most recent eruptive activity of Ojos del Salado appears to have originated along an NNE-trending rift along the summit complex. It involved the formation of a thick, viscous lava flow and at least a dozen small cones, lava domes, and explosion craters. No confirmed historical eruptions of Ojos del Salado have been recorded, but the volcano has displayed persistent fumarolic activity, and there was an unconfirmed report of minor gas-and-ash emission in 1993.

In architecture, what is a lancet?
A lancet is a slender, pointed window. They are often separated by mullions. A lancet is a pointed arch, of which the width, or span, is narrow compared with the height. Lancets are especially characteristic of Gothic architecture, in England & 16th Century.
