Buddhism remained his personal belief. His Dhamma signifies a general code of conduct. Asoka wished that his Dhamma should spread through all social levels.

CorrectAns:- d
Sol:- On shifting 4 the left Komal is 10th from the left end of the row. Thus, komal’s original position was 14th from the left end.
Swati is 3 places to the right of Komal’s original positions
Clearly, swati is 14 + 3 = 17 th from the left end.
Number of girls to the right of swati = (40 – 17) = 23.
Thus, Swati is 24th from the right end of the row.IncorrectAns:- d

daily expenditure was 85 and for the last 17 days, Rs. 51. Find the amount
spent by the organisation on the 15th of the month.
CorrectAns-c
Obviously, the 15th day is being double counted. Calculations can be reduced by thinking as: Surplus
in first 15 days Deficit in last 17 days = 255-289 ® Net deficit of 34. This
means that the average is reducing by 34 due to the double counting of the
15th day. This can only mean that the 15th day’s expenditure is Rs. 68 -34=
34.

Question 20 of 30
1 points
India’s higher education in a web of qualifying and competitive exams, regulatory agencies and professional bodies. All this is in the name of upholding standards. There is the excessively bureaucratic national system of accreditation and rankings for institutions. This led to thousands of research papers in worthless journals and hundreds of crores spent on exotic research areas. The new National Education Policy (NEP) claims that the purpose of higher education is to “enable personal accomplishment and enlightenment, and productive contribution to society”. But what is this in concrete terms, for students? Should a “good” student be able to write a newspaper article on a local issue, or conduct a study? Should IITs analyse the social issues in their cities? Can the state rely on its colleges for research on serious developmental issues like water security? Should the nation expect that elite institutions will work to improve the social welfare? These questions have never been answered. Instead, national competitive exams such as the JEE, NEET and GATE have become the de facto standards for education. The problem is, they adversely impact the overall development of our youth. They encourage coaching and intervene in the state’s ability to provide doctors and engineers from the local population. They distort the meaning and practice of science. This standardisation is merely “world-class” and not based on any study of what the states need. Pedagogically, it is known that students learn better when presented with real-life problems in a familiar context. And yet the case study on local problem3s has been absent in the curricula.
Which of the following is the most rational and crucial inference that can be made from the above passage?
CorrectAnswer D:-
The passage shows disappointment that exclusive focus on fossil fuel has taken attention away from the soil carbon conservation. But there is no mention of relative effectiveness of both. It is not said that one is better than other. The focus is that both are important but only fossil fuel is getting attention. Hence 1 is wrong. Similarly, there is no data or argument about how much carbon is there in soil or atmosphere nor about holding capacity of soil versus atmosphere. Hence 2 is also wrong. Hence D is the answer.

Consider the following statements.
1. Vijayanagara empire was founded in 1336 by Harihara and Bukka.
2. Vijayanagara rulers competed with the Sultans of the Deccan and Gajapati rulers of Orissa.
Which of the above is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: c)
Justification: They competed with them for the control of the fertile river valleys.
They competed with them over the resources generated by lucrative overseas trade
Founded in 1336 in the wake of the rebellions against Tughluq rule in the Deccan, the Hindu Vijayanagar empire lasted for more than two centuries as the dominant power in south India. Its history and fortunes were shaped by the increasing militarization of peninsular politics after the Muslim invasions and the commercialization that made south India a major participant in the trade network linking Europe and East Asia.
Urbanization and monetization of the economy were the two other significant developments of the period that brought all the peninsular kingdoms into highly competitive political and military activities in the race for supremacy.
Learning: The kingdom of Vijayanagar was founded by Harihara and Bukka, two of five brothers (surnamed Sangama) who had served in the administrations of both Kakatiya and Kampili before those kingdoms were conquered by the armies of the Delhi sultanate in the 1320s. When Kampili fell in 1327, the two brothers are believed to have been captured and taken to Delhi, where they converted to Islam. They were returned to the Deccan as governors of Kampili for the sultanate with the hope that they would be able to deal with the many local revolts and invasions by neighbouring Hindu kings.

Question 28 of 30

The royal title of “Devaputra” and “Hindu Suratrana” are often associated with which of these ruler/kingdoms respectively?
CorrectSolution: a)
Learning: One means of claiming high status was to identify with a variety of deities. This strategy is best exemplified by the Kushanas (c. first century BCE-first century CE), who ruled over a vast kingdom extending from Central Asia to northwest India.
Colossal statues of Kushana rulers have been found installed in a shrine at Mat near Mathura (Uttar Pradesh). Similar statues have been found in a shrine in Afghanistan as well. Some historians feel this indicates that the Kushanas considered themselves godlike. Many Kushana rulers also adopted the title devaputra, or “son of god”, possibly inspired by Chinese rulers who called themselves sons of heaven.
The Vijayanagara kings claimed to rule on behalf of the god Virupaksha. Rulers also indicated their close links with the gods by using the title “Hindu Suratrana” this meant Hindu Sultan.

Consider the following about famine codes and their evolution in medieval and British India.
1. The first ‘famine-code’ was formulated under the reign of the Delhi Sultanate.
2. The first Famine Commission in British India was appointed under William Hunter.
Select the correct answer using the codes below.
CorrectSolution: a)
Justification: Statement 1: Muhammad Bin Tughlaq, of Delhi Sultanate, had for the first time formulated ‘famine-code’ to provide relief to famine-affected people.
He was the first sultan to advance loans known as sondhar to peasants for digging wells to extend cultivation.
Statement 2: The famine of 1876-78 had resulted from the failure of two monsoons. It covered an area of two lakh fifty thousand square miles and affected fifty eight million people.
The government’s relief measures seemed to be inadequate. The first Famine Commission (1878-80) under Sir Richard Strachey was appointed and it made many commendable recommendations. They include provision of funds for famine relief and construction work in the annual budget. The Famine Code came into existence in 1883.
Subsequent famine codes were also issued by the British government. They clearly mentioned steps that governments were required to take to mitigate the risk of famine.
