Which of the following statements regarding global atmospheric pressure belts and planetary wind systems are correct?

Geçerli olan tümünü seçin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The Subtropical High-Pressure Belts are dynamically induced pressure zones formed due to the subsidence and accumulation of air descending from the upper atmosphere.; The Mediterranean region receives the bulk of its annual rainfall during the winter season due to the seasonal equatorward shift of the Westerlies.

Cevap

The statements confirming the dynamic origin of Subtropical High-Pressure Belts via subsidence of air aloft and the winter precipitation mechanism of the Mediterranean climate caused by the equatorward migration of Westerlies are correct.
The dynamic origin of Subtropical High-Pressure Belts is correctly attributed to air subsidence around 30∘30^\circ latitude following upper-atmospheric divergence from the equator. Additionally, winter rainfall in Mediterranean climates is accurately explained by the seasonal southward migration of pressure belts, bringing rain-bearing Westerlies over these regions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the formation mechanism of Subtropical High-Pressure Belts.
Confirm that the rising air at the equator subsides near 30∘30^\circ latitude owing to upper-air divergence and Coriolis deflection, confirming its dynamic origin.
Pressure belts created by mechanical movement and air sinking rather than thermal heating are dynamically induced.
2
Evaluate the directional orientation of Southern Hemisphere Trade winds.
Identify that winds moving from 30∘ S30^\circ\text{ S} toward the equator are deflected leftward, forming South-East Trades (blowing from SE to NW).
Wind direction is named after the direction from which the wind originates, not the direction toward which it blows.
3
Examine the seasonal shift of wind belts impacting Mediterranean climate.
Confirm that overhead Sun movement in winter causes pressure belts to shift equatorward, placing Mediterranean latitudes directly in the path of moist oceanic Westerlies.
Seasonal migration of pressure belts drives rain during winter in Mediterranean zones while keeping summers dry under subtropical high influence.
4
Verify the characteristic properties and direction of Polar Easterlies.
Recognize that Polar Easterlies originate from polar thermal highs, bringing cold, dry continental air toward sub-polar low pressure areas.
Air flows from high pressure to low pressure, making the assertion that polar easterlies flow towards polar highs incorrect.

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct sequence from West to East is: Ramganga River → Gomti River → Ghaghara River → Gandak River → Kosi River.
The Ganga receives several major left-bank tributaries originating from the Himalayas and the northern plains. Following the flow of the Ganga from west to east across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, the confluence points occur in the order: Ramganga River (Kannauj, UP), Gomti River (Saidpur/Ghazipur, UP), Ghaghara River (Chhapra, Bihar), Gandak River (Sonepur/Patna, Bihar), and Kosi River (Kursela/Katihar, Bihar).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the regional positions and points of origin for each Ganga left-bank tributary.
Ramganga originates in Uttarakhand; Gomti in Pilibhit (UP); Ghaghara in Tibet/Nepal Himalayas; Gandak in Nepal Himalayas; Kosi in Tibet/Nepal border region.

With reference to the socio-economic and administrative structure during the Gupta period in ancient India, which of the following statements are correct?

Geçerli olan tümünü seçin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The term 'Kulyavapa' referred to a unit of land measurement based on the seed capacity required for sowing.; The term 'Vishti' denoted a system of forced labor exacted by the state or local officials, which was extended to rural areas.; The administrative division known as 'Bhukti' was governed by an official designated as an 'Uparika' or 'Kumaramatya'.

Cevap

The statements describing Kulyavapa as a seed-capacity land measurement unit, Vishti as a forced labor obligation in rural areas, and Bhukti as a provincial unit governed by an Uparika are correct.
The statements concerning Kulyavapa, Vishti, and Bhukti accurately reflect the documented socio-economic and political institutions of the Gupta period. Kulyavapa measured agricultural land by seed capacity; Vishti represented compulsory unpaid labor levied on rural inhabitants; and Bhukti was the primary provincial administrative unit headed by an Uparika. Conversely, Udranga was a principal land revenue assessment on permanent agricultural landholders rather than a commercial customs duty on foreign merchants.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the land measurement terminology of the Gupta period.
Confirm that Kulyavapa represents the area of land required to sow one kulya of seed grain.
Gupta land grant documents from Bengal and Central India frequently use seed-capacity units like Kulyavapa, Dronavapa, and Adhavapa.
2
Examine the social and administrative practice of labor extraction (Vishti).
Confirm that Vishti referred to compulsory unpaid labor for royal or public works.
Inscriptions show that the state claimed Vishti as a customary right from village communities, which was often delegated to religious or secular land grantees.
3
Evaluate the administrative hierarchy of the Gupta Empire.
Confirm that Bhuktis were provincial divisions headed by Uparikas.
The empire was structured into Bhuktis (provinces), which were subdivided into Vishayas (districts) governed by Vishayapatis.
4
Identify the nature of the fiscal tax term 'Udranga'.
Determine that Udranga was a land tax on permanent farmers, not a commercial tariff on foreign merchants.
Gupta epigraphs pair Udranga (tax on permanent tenants) with Uparikara (tax on temporary cultivators), distinguishing them from commercial tolls (Sulka).

Cevap: The Indigo Revolt (1859–60) in Bengal was directed against European planters and received substantial backing from the educated urban intelligentsia and local press.; The Deccan Riots of 1875 were primarily directed against Gujarati and Marwari moneylenders, eventually prompting the colonial government to pass the Deccan Agriculturists' Relief Act in 1879.

Cevap

The statements confirming that the Indigo Revolt received support from the urban intelligentsia and that the Deccan Riots led to the Deccan Agriculturists' Relief Act of 1879 are correct.
The Indigo Revolt (1859–60) is historically distinguished by the active involvement of the Bengali educated class and press, while the Deccan Riots of 1875 directly forced the colonial administration to pass the Deccan Agriculturists' Relief Act of 1879 to protect peasants against debt fraud.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the statement regarding the Indigo Revolt's background and support base.

Cevap: In the Ahmedabad Mill Strike, Anasuya Sarabhai invited Mahatma Gandhi to intervene on behalf of the textile workers demanding a wage hike following the withdrawal of the plague bonus.; During the Kheda Satyagraha, Gandhi advised peasants to withhold land revenue payment because crop yields had fallen below the statutory threshold entitling them to tax remission under the revenue code.

Cevap

The statements confirming Anasuya Sarabhai's invitation regarding the plague bonus in Ahmedabad and Gandhi's advice to Kheda peasants to withhold revenue due to crop failure under revenue code rules are both correct.
The statements highlighting Anasuya Sarabhai's role in requesting Gandhi's assistance for mill workers demanding wage adjustments after the plague bonus withdrawal, and Gandhi's guidance to Kheda peasants to demand revenue remission under crop yield failure rules, are historically accurate details of the 1918 local Satyagrahas.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the statement regarding the origin and leadership involvement in the Ahmedabad Mill Strike of 1918.
Anasuya Sarabhai, sister of Millowners' Association president Ambalal Sarabhai, urged Gandhi to lead the workers who demanded a 50% wage hike (eventually settled at 35%) to offset wartime inflation following the discontinuation of the plague bonus.
This correctly identifies the historical initiator and socio-economic cause of the conflict.
2
Evaluate the legal and economic basis of the Kheda Satyagraha of 1918.
Crop failure caused by heavy rains reduced agricultural yield to less than 25% of normal. According to the Revenue Code, this warranted full revenue suspension, but colonial authorities refused to grant remission, prompting Gandhi, Sardar Patel, and Indulal Yagnik to launch revenue-refusal satyagraha.
This accurately reflects the statutory provision and Gandhian strategy used in Kheda.
3
Examine the claims linking the Rowlatt Act and Chauri Chaura to these 1918 movements.
The Rowlatt Act was passed in March 1919 dealing with emergency detention of suspected revolutionaries, not wage arbitration. Chauri Chaura occurred in 1922 during the Non-Cooperation Movement, four years after Kheda.
Both claims involve misattribution of colonial legislation and chronological confusion.

Read the following passage carefully.

To bridge the persistent digital divide in rural administration, the Ministry of Rural Empowerment has launched the Digital Village Hub (DVH) initiative. Rather than subsidizing individual household devices���a strategy that historically suffered from high hardware attrition rates and rapid technological obsolescence—the DVH framework aggregates resources to construct a single, well-maintained facility for every demographic cluster of three villages. Each hub is equipped with redundant broadband connectivity, continuous power backup, and full-time digital literacy facilitators. The infrastructure specifically provides direct, secure portals to state welfare distribution networks, agricultural extension services, and digital land records.

The fundamental premise of the DVH model is that supervised communal access yields more equitable and effective utilization of e-governance services compared to scattered, unassisted individual access. However, the policy framework strictly circumscribes the hubs' operational mandate: they are exclusively reserved for civic administration, educational access, and public welfare utilization. Commercial enterprise hosting, private e-commerce operations, and localized private banking are explicitly prohibited within the hubs to prevent local economic elites from monopolizing the limited bandwidth and facility time. The long-term viability of this communal model depends on a behavioral shift among residents, who must be willing to travel up to five kilometers to access these centralized nodes instead of relying solely on convenient, though notoriously unreliable, personal mobile networks.

Based on the passage, which of the following administrative actions represent valid practical applications or logical extensions of the DVH policy? (Select all that apply)

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Allocating dedicated facility hours at the hub for a state-sponsored adult digital literacy program.; Approving a hub location that requires residents from the furthest village in a designated cluster to travel four kilometers to access the portal.

Cevap

The valid administrative actions are allocating hours for adult digital literacy programs and approving hub locations that require up to five kilometers of travel.
The correct actions strictly follow the passage's guidelines. Allocating time for a digital literacy program directly supports the explicitly permitted 'educational access' mandate. Approving a location requiring four kilometers of travel aligns with the stated premise that the model's viability assumes villagers will travel 'up to five kilometers'. Both actions are direct, logical applications of the text.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the policy's explicitly permitted functions.
The text permits civic administration, educational access, and public welfare utilization.
Establishing the positive mandate identifies which proposed actions are valid.
2
Analyze the policy's explicitly prohibited functions.
The text forbids commercial enterprise hosting, private e-commerce, and localized private banking.
Establishing the negative mandate eliminates invalid commercial actions.
3
Evaluate the geographical and behavioral parameters of the policy.
The text sets a travel expectation boundary of up to five kilometers for villagers accessing the hub.
This validates logistical planning actions that fall within this distance parameter.
4
Cross-reference each option against the established parameters.
The literacy program (educational access) and the four-kilometer location (under the five-kilometer limit) are valid. The e-commerce platform and forced mobile deactivation violate the policy or represent extreme unsupported actions.
This process strictly separates logical policy extensions from textually unsupported or prohibited administrative actions.

The statements highlighting the continuity and elevation of the Western Ghats (with Thalghat, Bhorghat, and Palghat passes), the coarse porosity of the Bhabar belt causing underground stream sinking, and the occurrence of 'Kayals' on the Malabar Coast versus river deltas on the Coromandel Coast are all geomorphologically correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Western Ghats relief and continuity characteristics.
Western Ghats form a continuous escarpment with an average elevation of 900–1600 meters, traversable via key passes like Thalghat, Bhorghat, and Palghat. This statement is accurate.
Topographic continuity and pass locations correctly distinguish the Western Ghats from the eroded Eastern Ghats.
2
Analyze the northern plain morpho-tectonic zone known as Bhabar.
The Bhabar lies adjacent to the Shiwalik foothills, containing coarse gravel and alluvial fans where streams submerge. This statement is accurate.
High porosity of coarse boulder deposits causes surface water disappearance characteristic of the Bhabar zone.
3
Assess the geographic distribution of Karewa landforms.
Karewas are lacustrine deposits confined to the Kashmir Valley in the Northwestern Himalayas, not the Eastern Himalayas. This statement is false.
Misattributing Karewa terraces to the Eastern Himalayas violates regional physiographic distribution facts.
4
Compare coastal plain physiographic features between Malabar and Coromandel coasts.
Malabar Coast features unique backwaters ('Kayals'), whereas Coromandel Coast is dominated by extensive prograding river deltas (Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri). This statement is accurate.
Distinct coastal geomorphology differentiates the narrow western submergent/emergent coasts from wide eastern deltaic plains.

Consider the following statements regarding the epigraphical records and edicts of Emperor Ashoka:

1. The Major Rock Edicts found at Shahbazgarhi and Mansehra were inscribed in the Kharosthi script written from right to left.
2. The Kandahar inscription discovered in Afghanistan is a bilingual inscription rendered in Greek and Aramaic.
3. The Ashokan edicts located in southern India, such as those at Erragudi and Maski, were inscribed using the early Tamil-Brahmi script.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1 and 2 only

Cevap

Statements 1 and 2 are correct, while statement 3 is incorrect.
The correct answer identifies that only the first and second statements are true. Ashoka's northwestern rock edicts at Shahbazgarhi and Mansehra were inscribed in Kharosthi (written right-to-left), and the Kandahar inscription was written in both Greek and Aramaic. The third statement is incorrect because Mauryan edicts across peninsular India used standard Brahmi script to write Prakrit, not Tamil-Brahmi.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Statement 1 regarding Northwestern Ashokan edicts and script.
The Major Rock Edicts located at Shahbazgarhi and Mansehra (in present-day Pakistan) were written in the Kharosthi script, derived from Aramaic and written from right to left. Statement 1 is correct.
Mauryan scribes adapted local scripts for border regions to ensure public readability.
2
Analyze Statement 2 regarding the Kandahar edict.
The Shar-i-Kuna / Kandahar inscription in Afghanistan is a famous bilingual rock inscription written in Greek and Aramaic for the local Hellenistic and Aramaic-speaking populations. Statement 2 is correct.
Ashoka issued decrees in Greek and Aramaic to communicate moral precepts (Dhamma) to the frontier subjects of the former Seleucid territories.
3
Analyze Statement 3 regarding southern Indian Ashokan inscriptions.
The edicts at Erragudi, Maski, Brahmagiri, and Nitur in southern India were written in the Prakrit language using standard Brahmi script (with Erragudi displaying boustrophedon writing style). Tamil-Brahmi was utilized primarily for cave inscriptions of Sangam merchants and Jain monks in the Tamil region outside direct Mauryan provincial administration. Statement 3 is incorrect.
Distinguishing between pan-Indian Brahmi edicts of the Mauryas and regional Tamil-Brahmi epigraphy is essential for accuracy in ancient Indian paleography.

At which of the following Indus Valley (Harappan) sites were the physical remains of horse bones discovered, serving as significant archaeological evidence for the civilization?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Surkotada

Cevap

Surkotada is the Harappan site where archaeological excavations revealed horse bones.
The site of Surkotada in the Kutch district of Gujarat provided clear archaeological evidence of horse bones dating to the late Harappan phase.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the specific archaeological findings associated with prominent Harappan settlements.
Recognize that while most Harappan sites show evidence of cattle, sheep, and goats, physical evidence of horses is rare and localized.
Archaeological excavation reports specify unique floral and faunal remains for individual Indus Valley sites.
2
Locate the specific site yielding horse skeletal remains in Gujarat.
Surkotada, excavated by J. P. Joshi in 1964, yielded skeletal remains identified as horse bones dating to the late Harappan period.
This discovery at Surkotada distinguishes it from other major sites like Kalibangan, Chanhudaro, and Banawali.
