Six executives—P, Q, R, S, T, and U—are to be assigned to two committees: Committee 1 and Committee 2, each consisting of exactly three members. The assignments must satisfy the following conditions:
• P and Q must be in the same committee.
• R and S cannot be in the same committee.
• T is assigned to Committee 1.
• If P is assigned to Committee 1, then U must be assigned to Committee 2.
• U and S must be in the same committee.

Which of the following executives must be assigned to Committee 2 along with P and Q?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: R

Cevap

R
Since P and Q must be together in Committee 2, and U and S must be together in Committee 1 to respect the 3-member capacity per committee, R is the only remaining executive who can join P and Q in Committee 2 while satisfying the rule that R and S are in different committees.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze committee capacities and fixed placements
Committee 1 has T. Both Committee 1 and Committee 2 need exactly 3 members.
Total executives are 6, split equally into two groups of 3.
2
Evaluate placement of P and Q
If P and Q are in Committee 1, Committee 1 has {T, P, Q} (full). Then Committee 2 must have {R, S, U}. But R and S cannot be together, so P and Q cannot be in Committee 1. Thus, P and Q are in Committee 2.
Placing P and Q in Committee 1 forces R and S into Committee 2 together, violating the rule that R and S must be in different committees.
3
Determine placements for remaining members U, S, and R
Committee 2 currently has {P, Q} (2 members). Committee 1 currently has {T} (1 member). Since U and S must be together, they must go to Committee 1 to avoid overflowing Committee 2. Thus, Committee 1 = {T, U, S}. The remaining person R must go to Committee 2.
Putting U and S in Committee 2 would give Committee 2 four members ({P, Q, U, S}), which exceeds the limit of 3.

Which of the following statements regarding the atmospheric circulation, extratropical disturbances, and seasonal driving mechanisms of the Indian climate are correct?

Geçerli olan tümünü seçin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The establishment of the Tropical Easterly Jet Stream over peninsular India is directly linked to the northward displacement of the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream to the north of the Tibetan Plateau.; Western Disturbances originate as extratropical cyclones over the Mediterranean region and are carried towards northwestern India by the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream during winter.

Cevap

The correct statements are the one regarding the relationship between the Tropical Easterly Jet Stream and the northern displacement of the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream, and the statement describing Western Disturbances as extratropical cyclones originating over the Mediterranean driven by the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream.
The statement explaining the emergence of the Tropical Easterly Jet Stream is correct because the seasonal shift of the Subtropical Westerly Jet to the north of Tibet is a necessary structural condition for the upper-level Easterly Jet and ITCZ northward movement. The statement regarding Western Disturbances is also correct because these non-monsoonal storms originate over the Mediterranean and move along the upper westerly flow into North India during winter.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the upper-atmospheric mechanisms governing the onset of the Indian Southwest Monsoon.
During summer, intense heating of the Tibetan Plateau generates an upper-level warm anticyclone. For the Tropical Easterly Jet Stream to form over southern India, the winter Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream must first retreat to the north of the Himalayas. Hence, the statement linking the establishment of the Tropical Easterly Jet Stream to this northward displacement is accurate.
Upper-air jet stream transitions serve as a primary trigger for atmospheric pressure reversals over South Asia.
2
Evaluate the origin and steering mechanism of Western Disturbances.
Western Disturbances are temperate (extratropical) low-pressure systems originating in the Mediterranean and Atlantic regions. They travel eastward under the influence of the upper-tropospheric Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream, bringing winter precipitation to northwestern India. Thus, the statement describing Western Disturbances is correct.
Extratropical storm tracks in winter are governed by upper-level westerly wind belts.
3
Examine the spatial SST anomaly pattern of the positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).
A positive IOD phase consists of anomalous warming in the western Indian Ocean and cooling in the southeastern tropical Indian Ocean. This thermal gradient strengthens the cross-equatorial flow and boosts monsoon rainfall over India. The statement claiming warmer eastern waters and suppressed rainfall reverses the positive IOD anomaly dynamics and is incorrect.
Ocean-atmosphere coupling parameters like the IOD modify regional atmospheric moisture transport.
4
Assess the seasonal origin of pre-monsoon convective showers in southern India.
Mango Showers occur during the pre-monsoon summer season (April to May) as a result of localized solar insolation and convection cell formation over peninsular India. They are distinct from the retreating northeast monsoon that occurs between October and December. Therefore, attributing them to the retreating monsoon is false.
Pre-monsoon local thunderstorms arise from thermal instability, not winter wind reversal patterns.

With reference to the 19th-century tribal uprisings and peasant struggles in colonial India, consider the following statements:

1. The Santhal Rebellion (1855–1856) resulted in the colonial administration enacting Act XXXVII of 1855 to create a non-regulation district known as the Santhal Parganas.
2. The Munda Ulgulan led by Birsa Munda targeted not only zamindars and British officials but also Christian missionaries as part of establishing Munda Raj.
3. The Pabna Agrarian Leagues of the 1870s were primarily aimed at the violent armed overthrow of British colonial sovereignty.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1 and 2 only

Cevap

1 and 2 only
The option selecting 1 and 2 only is correct because the Santhal Rebellion led directly to the creation of the Santhal Parganas via Act XXXVII of 1855, and Birsa Munda's Ulgulan targeted Christian missionaries alongside British rulers and landlords. Statement 3 is false because the Pabna movement pursued legal resistance against zamindars rather than an armed anti-imperialist revolution.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Statement 1 regarding the Santhal Rebellion and Act XXXVII of 1855.
Statement 1 is correct. The intensity of the Santhal Hul (1855��56) forced the British East India Company to alter its administrative framework and pass Act XXXVII of 1855, creating the non-regulation district of Santhal Parganas to safeguard tribal lands from alienation.
Administrative concessions were directly triggered by the Santhal resistance against diku exploitation.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding Birsa Munda's Ulgulan movement.
Statement 2 is correct. Birsa Munda's socio-religious and political revivalist movement (1899–1900) aimed to eliminate all external oppressors (dikus), which included money-lenders, British officials, Hindu landlords, and Christian missionaries who criticized traditional tribal customs.
Birsa Munda sought complete tribal autonomy ('Munda Raj') free from all foreign influence.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding the nature and objectives of the Pabna Peasant Uprisings.
Statement 3 is incorrect. The Pabna Agrarian Leagues formed in East Bengal during the 1870s fought against illegal zamindari exactions, enhanced rents, and evictions. They favored legal agitation, rent-strikes, and courts, declaring their desire to be 'ryots of Her Majesty the Queen' rather than attempting an anti-imperialist armed revolution.
The movement operated within the colonial legal apparatus using provisions of the Bengal Rent Act of 1859.

An officer leaves his office at point OO and walks 12 km12\text{ km} due East to reach point P1P_1. He then turns 9090^\circ to his left and walks 9 km9\text{ km} due North to reach point P2P_2. From P2P_2, he turns 135135^\circ in the clockwise direction and walks 52 km5\sqrt{2}\text{ km} straight to reach point P3P_3. Finally, he turns due West and walks 17 km17\text{ km} to reach point P4P_4. What is the shortest distance between his final position P4P_4 and his starting point OO, and in which direction is he relative to the starting point?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4 km4\text{ km}, North

Cevap

4 km4\text{ km} due North of the starting point.
By resolving each movement step into Cartesian coordinates starting from origin (0,0)(0,0):
- P1=(12,0)P_1 = (12, 0)
- P2=(12,9)P_2 = (12, 9)
- Turning 135135^\circ clockwise from North points South-East. Moving 52 km5\sqrt{2}\text{ km} gives Δx=+5\Delta x = +5 and Δy=5\Delta y = -5, so P3=(17,4)P_3 = (17, 4).
- Moving 17 km17\text{ km} West gives P4=(0,4)P_4 = (0, 4).
The shortest distance from (0,0)(0,0) to (0,4)(0,4) is 4 km4\text{ km} due North.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set origin OO at (0,0)(0, 0) and calculate coordinates after the first two movements.
After walking 12 km12\text{ km} East, P1=(12,0)P_1 = (12, 0). After turning 9090^\circ left (facing North) and walking 9 km9\text{ km}, P2=(12,9)P_2 = (12, 9).
East represents the +x+x direction and North represents the +y+y direction.
2
Determine facing direction at P2P_2 and calculate displacement for the 135135^\circ clockwise turn.
Facing North (00^\circ). A 135135^\circ clockwise turn points South-East. Moving 52 km5\sqrt{2}\text{ km} South-East gives Δx=52cos(45)=5 km\Delta x = 5\sqrt{2} \cdot \cos(45^\circ) = 5\text{ km} and Δy=52sin(45)=5 km\Delta y = -5\sqrt{2} \cdot \sin(45^\circ) = -5\text{ km}. Thus, P3=(12+5,95)=(17,4)P_3 = (12 + 5, 9 - 5) = (17, 4).
South-East movement increases the xx-coordinate by 55 and decreases the yy-coordinate by 55.
3
Calculate final position P4P_4 after walking 17 km17\text{ km} West.
Walking 17 km17\text{ km} West (x -x direction) from (17,4)(17, 4) gives P4=(1717,4)=(0,4)P_4 = (17 - 17, 4) = (0, 4).
Westward displacement directly reduces the xx-coordinate by 17 km17\text{ km}.
4
Compute shortest distance and direction from origin (0,0)(0,0) to (0,4)(0,4).
Shortest distance =(00)2+(40)2=4 km= \sqrt{(0-0)^2 + (4-0)^2} = 4\text{ km} in the positive yy-direction (North).
Since the xx-coordinate is 00 and y=4y = 4, the point lies directly on the North axis.

Cevap: 1 and 2 only

Cevap

1 and 2 only
The correct response identifies statements 1 and 2 as accurate. PP-waves are compressional (longitudinal) waves capable of propagating through solids, liquids, and gases. SS-waves are shear (transverse) waves that propagate exclusively through solids. The SS-wave shadow zone is significantly larger than the PP-wave shadow zone because SS-waves cannot pass through the liquid outer core, receiving no direct SS-waves beyond 103103^\circ from the epicenter worldwide.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding P-waves
Statement 1 is correct. Primary waves are longitudinal waves where particles vibrate parallel to wave direction; they travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Compressional mechanics allow longitudinal motion across all material states.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding S-waves
Statement 2 is correct. Secondary waves are transverse shear waves; liquid media lack shear strength, so S-waves pass only through solids.
Fluid bodies cannot sustain shear stress.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 comparing shadow zone extents
Statement 3 is incorrect. Because S-waves cannot travel through the liquid outer core, their shadow zone forms an extensive zone beyond 103103^\circ from the epicenter. In contrast, the P-wave shadow zone exists only as a band between 103103^\circ and 142142^\circ. Thus, the S-wave shadow zone is significantly larger.
Complete blockage of S-waves by the liquid outer core creates a larger global shadow area than the refractive bending of P-waves.

Cevap: 1, 2 and 4 only

Cevap

Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct.
The option selecting statements 1, 2, and 4 only is correct because Meghalaya is geologically a part of the Peninsular Plateau (separated by the Malda fault), Karewas are lacustrine deposits essential for saffron cultivation, and the passes Zoji La, Shipki La, Lipulekh, and Nathu La correctly follow a West-to-East sequence. Statement 3 is false because Western Ghats are fault escarpments, not young collision fold mountains.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Statement 1 regarding Peninsular Block extensions.
Statement 1 is TRUE. The Shillong (Meghalaya) and Karbi Anglong Plateaus in the northeast are detached portions of the Indian Peninsular Plateau separated by the Rajmahal-Garo gap / Malda Fault.
Geological faulting created a downward gap between the Chota Nagpur Plateau and the Meghalaya block.
2
Analyze Statement 2 regarding Kashmir Himalayan deposits.
Statement 2 is TRUE. Karewas are thick lacustrine deposits (lake sediments embedded with glacial moraines) found in the Kashmir valley, famous for cultivating Zafran (saffron).
Karewas form flat-topped terraces in the Jhelum valley derived from ancient lake beds.
3
Analyze Statement 3 regarding Western Ghats origin.
Statement 3 is FALSE. The Western Ghats are not fold mountains born out of Eurasian collision. They are block mountains (an escarpment formed due to faulting and submergence during the breakup of Gondwanaland). The Himalayas, not the Western Ghats, are young fold mountains formed by the Eurasian collision.
Confusing tectonic origins of Himalayan folding vs Peninsular block faulting.
4
Analyze Statement 4 regarding longitudinal pass sequence from West to East.
Statement 4 is TRUE. Zoji La is in Ladakh (~75°E), Shipki La is in Himachal Pradesh (~78°E), Lipulekh is in Uttarakhand (~81°E), and Nathu La is in Sikkim (~88°E). The sequence Zoji La → Shipki La → Lipulekh → Nathu La is correctly ordered West to East.

Consider the following statements regarding winter atmospheric circulation and precipitation mechanisms over the Indian subcontinent:

1. The Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream shifts south of the Himalayas during winter, splitting into two distinct branches due to the physical barrier of the Tibetan Plateau.
2. Western Disturbances, which bring vital winter rainfall to northwestern India, are steered across Eurasia into the subcontinent by the Tropical Easterly Jet Stream.
3. The winter rainfall along the Coromandel Coast of Tamil Nadu is predominantly caused by the moisture-laden winds of the North-East Monsoon picking up moisture over the Bay of Bengal.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1 and 3 only

Cevap

The correct statements are 1 and 3 only.
The southern branch of the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream flows south of the Himalayas during winter and guides mid-latitude extratropical cyclones (Western Disturbances) into northwestern India. Simultaneously, the North-East Monsoon winds cross the Bay of Bengal, gather moisture, and bring rainfall to the Coromandel Coast.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding winter upper-air circulation
Statement 1 is correct
During the northern hemisphere winter, the southward shift of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) draws the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream south of the Himalayas. The high-altitude Tibetan Plateau acts as a mechanical barrier, splitting the jet stream into northern and southern branches.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding the steering mechanism of Western Disturbances
Statement 2 is incorrect
Western Disturbances are shallow cyclonic depressions originating over the Mediterranean region. They are driven eastward into northwestern India by the southern branch of the Subtropical Westerly Jet Stream during winter. The Tropical Easterly Jet Stream (TEJ) is active only during the summer monsoon months.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding Coromandel Coast precipitation
Statement 3 is correct
During winter (October to December), dry land-to-sea winds of the North-East Monsoon blow across the Bay of Bengal, picking up significant moisture before striking the Coromandel Coast of Tamil Nadu and producing rainfall.

Cevap: The major cities were laid out using a grid system with streets intersecting nearly at right angles.; An advanced covered drainage system connected household wastewater outlets directly to street drains.; Standardized baked bricks were widely used as the primary building material for structures.

Cevap

The statements highlighting grid-pattern street layouts, covered underground drainage networks, and standardized baked brick construction are correct.
Harappan urban centers were distinguished by meticulous civic engineering, including grid-pattern streets, covered public drainage channels, and widespread reliance on standardized baked bricks.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess city layout and street organization of the Harappan Civilization.
Harappan settlements featured planned urban layouts with main roads crossing at right angles in a grid system.
This confirms the statement regarding grid-based urban planning.
2
Examine sanitation and drainage infrastructure.
Wastewater from private dwellings flowed through brick drains into covered main drains along the streets.
This confirms the statement about covered drainage systems.
3
Evaluate building materials and religious architecture.
Baked bricks of standardized dimensions were the primary construction material, while monumental rock-cut cave temples were non-existent in Harappan sites.
This confirms the use of standardized baked bricks and identifies the claim about rock-cut cave temples as false.

Cevap: The Indian National Congress revised its objective from attaining self-government through constitutional means to achieving Swaraj through peaceful and legitimate means.; Provincial Congress Committees were reorganized on a linguistic basis to enable deeper outreach into rural and non-English speaking regions.; The program of non-cooperation advocated for the surrender of government-conferred titles and the boycott of British educational institutions, law courts, and foreign cloth.

Cevap

The correct statements are those affirming that the Congress revised its goal to attaining Swaraj through peaceful and legitimate means, reorganized Provincial Congress Committees on a linguistic basis, and advocated the surrender of titles alongside boycotts of foreign goods, law courts, and schools.
The statements highlighting the transition of the INC's goal to Swaraj via peaceful means, the creation of linguistic Provincial Congress Committees, and the multi-faceted boycott of titles, schools, courts, and foreign textiles accurately reflect the decisions of the December 1920 Nagpur Session and the Non-Cooperation Movement program.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the constitutional objective change adopted by the INC at Nagpur in 1920.
The goal shifted from constitutional self-government within the empire to achieving Swaraj through peaceful and legitimate means.
This structural change laid the foundation for mass struggle under Gandhian leadership.
2
Examine the organizational restructuring of the Congress party.
Provincial Congress Committees were reorganized based on linguistic lines, and entry fees were lowered to four annas.
This expanded the geographical and social base of the freedom movement beyond urban elites.
3
Assess the core components of the Non-Cooperation Movement program.
The boycott included titles, schools, courts, legislatures, and foreign cloth, while promoting national schools, khadi, and panchayats.
These dual boycott and constructive programs targeted colonial economic and administrative foundations.
4
Verify the stance on armed resistance and volunteers.
The movement was strictly non-violent; no armed volunteer units were authorized.
Gandhian ideology made Ahimsa an absolute precondition for national mass movements.
