The question asks for the primary reason behind Lord Wellesley's establishment of Fort William College in Calcutta. To answer this, we need to recall the historical context and the stated objectives of Wellesley's administration regarding the training of East India Company's civil servants.
Correct Option: D) he wanted to train British civilians for administrative purpose in India
Lord Wellesley established Fort William College in 1800 with the explicit aim of training young British civil servants (known as 'civilians' or 'covenanted servants') of the East India Company. These recruits, often arriving young and inexperienced, needed to be educated in Indian languages, laws, customs, and administrative practices to effectively govern the expanding British territories in India. Wellesley believed that proper training would lead to more efficient and ethical administration.
The question asks to identify the historical event associated with the term "Ulgulan" or "Great Tumult". This requires knowledge of tribal revolts and their specific names in Indian history.
Correct Option: D) Birsa Munda's Revolt of 1899-1900
"Ulgulan" or the "Great Tumult" is the name given to the rebellion led by Birsa Munda against the British and the exploitation by moneylenders and zamindars. Birsa Munda was a tribal freedom fighter, religious leader, and folk hero who belonged to the Munda tribe. His movement aimed to establish Munda Raj (self-rule) and protect tribal land, culture, and religion from external interference.
With reference to the scholars/litterateurs of ancient India, consider the following statements:
1. Panini is associated with Pushyamitra Shung.
2. Amarasimha is associated with Harshavardhana.
3. Kalidasa is associated with Chandra Gupta-II.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The question asks us to identify the correct associations between ancient Indian scholars/litterateurs and the rulers they were associated with. We need to evaluate each statement individually based on historical facts.
Panini was a renowned Sanskrit grammarian who lived in the 5th or 4th century BCE. His most famous work is the Ashtadhyayi. Pushyamitra Shunga founded the Shunga dynasty in the 2nd century BCE (around 185 BCE). There is a significant time gap between Panini and Pushyamitra Shunga. Therefore, Panini was not associated with Pushyamitra Shunga.
Amarasimha was a Sanskrit grammarian and poet, famous for his lexicon 'Amarakosha'. He is traditionally believed to have been one of the 'Nine Jewels' (Navaratnas) in the court of Chandragupta II (Vikramaditya), who ruled during the late 4th and early 5th centuries CE. Harshavardhana ruled much later, in the 7th century CE (606-647 CE). Thus, Amarasimha was not associated with Harshavardhana.
Kalidasa is widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist in Sanskrit literature. He is traditionally believed to have been one of the 'Nine Jewels' (Navaratnas) in the court of Chandragupta II (Vikramaditya). His works like 'Abhijnanasakuntalam', 'Meghaduta', and 'Raghuvamsa' are classics of Indian literature. This association is historically accurate.
C) Only statement 3 is correct. Panini lived much before Pushyamitra Shunga, and Amarasimha was associated with Chandragupta II, not Harshavardhana. Kalidasa was indeed a prominent figure in the court of Chandragupta II.
The question asks about the specific application of "Pronuclear Transfer" in human reproductive technology. This technique is a form of mitochondrial replacement therapy, designed to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial diseases.
D) prevention of mitochondrial diseases in offspring — Pronuclear transfer is a mitochondrial replacement therapy specifically developed to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial diseases from a mother to her child by replacing the mother's defective mitochondria with healthy ones from a donor egg.
With the present state of development, Artificial Intelligence can effectively do which of the following?
1. Bring down electricity consumption in industrial units.
2. Create meaningful short stories and songs
3. Disease diagnosis
4. Text-to-Speech Conversion
5. Wireless transmission of electrical energy
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
1, 2, 3 and 5 only
1, 3 and 4 only
2, 4 and 5 only
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
The question asks to identify which applications Artificial Intelligence (AI) can effectively perform in its current state of development. We need to evaluate each given statement based on the capabilities of modern AI.
B) 1, 3 and 4 only
Based on the analysis:
Therefore, the correct combination of statements is 1, 2, 3, and 4. However, the options provided are slightly different. Let's re-evaluate the options based on the common understanding of AI capabilities.
Re-evaluating the options and the question's intent, it seems there might be a slight discrepancy in how the options are framed versus the individual statements. Let's assume the question intends to find the most direct and impactful applications of AI.
Given the options, if we have to choose the best fit, and knowing that all of 1, 2, 3, and 4 are valid AI applications, there might be an error in the question's options or the expected answer. However, if we strictly follow the provided correct answer B (1, 3, and 4 only), it implies that statement 2 (creating meaningful short stories and songs) is considered less effective or not an AI capability, which contradicts current AI advancements.
Let's assume the question is from a slightly older context or has a specific interpretation where creative generation (like stories/songs) might be considered less "effective" or "meaningful" in a practical, industrial sense compared to diagnosis or optimization. But in the current state of AI, generative AI is very effective.
If we are forced to select from the given options, and knowing that 1, 3, and 4 are unequivocally strong and established AI applications:
If we consider option B (1, 3, and 4 only), it includes three very strong and direct applications of AI. The exclusion of statement 2 (creating meaningful short stories and songs) might be due to a specific interpretation of "meaningful" or the level of effectiveness compared to other tasks, or simply an oversight in option construction, as generative AI is indeed effective at this. However, without further clarification, and given the provided correct answer, we proceed with B.
Therefore, assuming the provided correct answer B, the most plausible scenario is that 1, 3, and 4 are considered the most effective and direct applications of AI among the choices, and statement 2, while true, is somehow excluded in this specific option set, or statement 5 is definitively incorrect.
With reference to Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology, which of the following statements are correct?
1. VLC uses electromagnetic spectrum wavelengths 375 to 780 nm.
2. VLC is known as long-range optical wireless communication.
3. VLC can transmit large amounts of data faster than Bluetooth.
4. VLC has no electromagnetic interference.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
1, 2 and 3 only
1, 2 and 4 only
1,3 and 4 only
2, 3 and 4 only
The question asks to identify the correct statements regarding Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology. We need to evaluate each statement based on the characteristics and principles of VLC.
Based on the analysis, statements 1, 3, and 4 are correct.
Correct Option: C) 1, 3 and 4 only
With reference to "Blockchain Technology", consider the following statements:
1. It is a public ledger that everyone can inspect, but which no single user controls.
2. The structure and design of blockchain is such that all the data in it are about cryptocurrency only.
3. Applications that depend on basic features of blockchain can be developed without anybody's permission.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The question asks us to evaluate statements about Blockchain Technology. We need to determine which statements accurately describe its characteristics and applications.
D) 1 and 3 only
Statements 1 and 3 correctly describe key aspects of blockchain technology. Statement 1 highlights its nature as a public, decentralized ledger. Statement 3 points to its permissionless nature for application development. Statement 2 is incorrect because blockchain's utility extends far beyond just cryptocurrency.
