The question asks to identify the Governor-General of India during whose tenure the first train service was inaugurated in 1853. This requires knowledge of the history of British India and the key events associated with various Governor-Generals.
Correct Option: D) Lord Dalhousie
The first train service in India was inaugurated on April 16, 1853, connecting Bombay (Bori Bunder) to Thane. This significant event occurred during the tenure of Lord Dalhousie, who served as the Governor-General of India from 1848 to 1856. He is often referred to as the "Father of Indian Railways" due to his pioneering efforts in establishing the railway system.
The question asks to identify the ruler who first introduced token currency in India. This requires knowledge of medieval Indian history, specifically the economic policies of various Delhi Sultanate rulers.
Correct Option: D) Mohammad-bin-Tughlaq introduced token currency in India for the first time. His experiment involved issuing copper and brass coins that were intended to be equivalent in value to the existing gold and silver currency. This measure was taken due to a shortage of silver and to finance his ambitious projects and military campaigns. However, the lack of proper control over minting led to widespread counterfeiting, ultimately causing the experiment to fail.
Which of the following is incorrect?
Jodhabai - Salim
Manmati - Khurram
Jijabai - Shivaji
Tarabai - Shahuji
The question asks to identify the incorrect pair among the given options, which consist of historical figures and their relationships, specifically parent-child relationships.
Correct Option: D) Tarabai - Shahuji is the incorrect pair because Tarabai was the mother of Shivaji II, while Shahuji was the son of Sambhaji. They were not mother and son.
The question asks about the location of the first general Post Office in India. This is a factual question related to the history of postal services in India. To answer correctly, one needs to recall the historical establishment of the postal system during the British colonial period.
C) Kolkata — The first General Post Office (GPO) in India was established in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1774 by Warren Hastings.
The question asks to classify the Sun based on its stellar type. This requires knowledge of stellar classification, particularly the main sequence and the different stages of a star's life cycle.
Correct Option: C) Dwarf. The Sun is a main-sequence star, specifically classified as a yellow dwarf. It is an average-sized star fusing hydrogen into helium in its core.
The question asks about the founder of "Din-i-Ilahi." This requires knowledge of medieval Indian history, specifically the Mughal period and its prominent rulers and religious policies.
C) Akbar — Akbar founded Din-i-Ilahi (meaning "Religion of God") in 1582. It was a syncretic religion, or rather a spiritual path, primarily drawing from Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity, with the aim of promoting religious harmony and peace among his diverse subjects. It was not a proselytizing religion and had very few followers, mostly from his court nobles.
This problem can be solved using the rule of Alligation, which is a method used to find the ratio in which two or more ingredients at different prices must be mixed to produce a mixture of a desired price. Alternatively, it can be solved using basic algebraic equations.
Identify the given values:
Apply the Rule of Alligation:
The rule of Alligation states that if two ingredients are mixed, the ratio of their quantities is inversely proportional to the difference in their costs from the mean cost.
Let \(Q_1\) be the quantity of the first variety and \(Q_2\) be the quantity of the second variety.
The differences are calculated as follows:
The ratio \(Q_1 : Q_2\) is given by:
\[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{\text{Cost of 2nd variety} - \text{Mean Cost}}{\text{Mean Cost} - \text{Cost of 1st variety}} \] \[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{C_2 - C_m}{C_m - C_1} \]Calculate the ratio:
\[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{3.50}{1.50} \]To simplify the ratio, multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to remove decimals:
\[ \frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{350}{150} \]Divide both by their greatest common divisor, which is 50:
\[ \frac{350 \div 50}{150 \div 50} = \frac{7}{3} \]So, the ratio \(Q_1 : Q_2\) is \(7:3\).
C) 7:3 is the correct ratio in which the two varieties of tea must be mixed.
To answer this question, we need to recall the historical context of India's independence and identify the British Prime Minister in office during August 1947.
Correct Option: A) Clement Attlee was the Prime Minister of Britain when India achieved independence in August 1947. He led the Labour government that oversaw the transfer of power.
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the percentage of each given number and then find the difference between the two results. The key is to correctly convert percentages to decimal or fractional form and perform the multiplication and subtraction accurately.
First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by \(100\):
\[ 0.07\% = \frac{0.07}{100} = 0.0007 \]Now, multiply this decimal by \(1250\):
\[ 0.0007 \times 1250 = 0.875 \]Convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[ 0.02\% = \frac{0.02}{100} = 0.0002 \]Now, multiply this decimal by \(650\):
\[ 0.0002 \times 650 = 0.130 = 0.13 \]Subtract the result from Step 2 from the result of Step 1:
\[ 0.875 - 0.13 = 0.745 \]C) \(0.745\) is the correct answer, as calculated by finding the difference between \(0.07\%\) of \(1250\) and \(0.02\%\) of \(650\).
