The mean of 21 observations is 42. If out of 21 given observations, the mean of the first 11 observations is 50 and the mean of the last 11 observations is 35, then the 11th observation will be:
This problem involves finding a specific observation when the mean of the total observations and the means of overlapping subsets of observations are given. We will use the formula for the mean, which is the sum of observations divided by the number of observations. By calculating the total sum from the given means, we can isolate the value of the overlapping observation.
Correct Option: A) 53
The question asks to identify the leader who advocated a moderate, gradual, and persuasive approach to colonial rule through the Swadeshi movement. This requires knowledge of the different ideological factions within the Indian National Congress during the Swadeshi movement, specifically distinguishing between Moderates and Extremists.
C) Gopal Krishna Gokhale was a prominent leader of the Moderate faction of the Indian National Congress. He believed in constitutional agitation, dialogue, and persuasion to achieve political reforms from the British government. His approach was characterized by its gradual and moderate nature, seeking to influence colonial rule through reasoned arguments and appeals to justice, which aligns perfectly with the description in the question.
The question asks to identify the last Mughal ruler who was overthrown by the British in 1857. This requires knowledge of Indian history, specifically the Mughal dynasty and the events of the 1857 Revolt.

After the revolt was crushed, the British arrested him, tried him for treason, and exiled him to Rangoon, where he died in 1862. This marked the official end of the Mughal dynasty in India.
The problem asks us to spell the word 'BEHAVIOUR' using a numerical code based on the given values for 'B', 'V', and 'R'. We need to identify the pattern or system used to assign numbers to letters.
A) 2581229152118 is the correct numerical representation of 'BEHAVIOUR' based on the alphabetical position of each letter.
The problem presents a series of letter-clusters. To find the missing cluster, we need to identify the pattern of progression for each letter within the clusters.
Correct Option: A) ELQ is the correct answer because each letter in the cluster follows a sequential alphabetical order from the previous cluster.
The question asks to identify which statement was NOT a notable reason for the Salt March. We need to evaluate each option against the historical significance and impact of the Salt March (also known as the Dandi March).
C) The younger population of India started attending schools — This statement is incorrect. The Civil Disobedience Movement, of which the Salt March was a part, encouraged boycotts of British institutions, including schools and colleges. Many students left these institutions to participate in the freedom struggle, rather than starting to attend them.
The question asks to identify a specific bank account scheme for the girl child, launched as part of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Campaign. This requires knowledge of government schemes related to girl child welfare in India.

The Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a small savings scheme launched by the Government of India as part of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Campaign. It is designed to encourage parents to build a fund for the future education and marriage expenses of their girl child. The scheme offers attractive interest rates and tax benefits, making it a popular choice for long-term savings for girls.
The problem asks us to find the principal amount (sum) given the amount, time, and simple interest rate. We will use the formula for simple interest and the relationship between principal, interest, and amount.
Simple Interest (\(SI\)) is calculated as:
\[ SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \]The Amount (\(A\)) is the sum of the Principal (\(P\)) and the Simple Interest (\(SI\)):
\[ A = P + SI \]This gives us the amount in terms of Principal, Rate, and Time:
\[ A = P + \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \]We have \(A = 26400\), \(R = 5\), and \(T = 2\).
\[ 26400 = P \left(1 + \frac{5 \times 2}{100}\right) \]To find \(P\), multiply both sides by \(\frac{10}{11}\):
\[ P = 26400 \times \frac{10}{11} \]\[ P = \frac{264000}{11} \]\[ P = 24000 \]The sum (principal) is ₹24,000.
Correct Option: B) ₹24,000
The question asks for the full form of the acronym GSLV. This is a direct knowledge-based question related to India's space program.
