Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest is: Flourishing of the Mature Harappan urban civilization, followed by the Establishment of the Mauryan Empire by Chandragupta Maurya, then the Promulgation of Dhamma through Major Rock Edicts by Emperor Ashoka, and lastly the Accession of Chandragupta I and the commencement of the Gupta Era.
The Mature Harappan civilization represents the earliest urban phase in Indian history (c. 2600–1900 BCE). Centuries later, Chandragupta Maurya founded the Mauryan Empire in c. 321 BCE. His grandson, Emperor Ashoka, ruled later in the 3rd century BCE (c. 268–232 BCE) and issued his famous Rock Edicts. The Gupta Empire arose much later, with Chandragupta I establishing the Gupta Era in c. 319–320 CE.

With reference to the nuclear and strategic mineral resources of India, consider the following statements:

1. Monazite sands, which serve as a primary source of Thorium, are predominantly found along the coastal beach sands of Kerala, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu.
2. Tummalapalle in Andhra Pradesh is recognized by the Atomic Minerals Directorate as hosting one of the largest reserves of Uranium in the world.
3. Domestic production of crude petroleum in India currently meets more than 80% of the country's annual energy consumption requirements.

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. Domestic crude petroleum production in India covers less than 15-20% of domestic demand, with the remainder being imported.
Statements 1 and 2 accurately present the distribution of nuclear energy minerals in India. Monazite sands along the southern and eastern coasts are rich sources of Thorium, and the Tummalapalle belt in Andhra Pradesh is one of the world's largest known Uranium deposits. Statement 3 is false because domestic crude oil meets only a minor fraction (under 20%) of national demand, with India relying heavily on crude imports.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding Monazite sands and Thorium.
Monazite is a placer mineral found extensively in the coastal sands of Kerala (Palakkad/Kollam), Odisha, and Tamil Nadu, containing rich deposits of Thorium and rare earth elements. Statement 1 is correct.
Geological survey data confirms India holds world-leading reserves of Thorium in coastal monazite deposits.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding Uranium reserves at Tummalapalle.
Tummalapalle mine located in the Kadapa basin of Andhra Pradesh was confirmed by the Atomic Energy Commission of India to contain massive reserves of Uranium, making it one of the largest global deposits. Statement 2 is correct.
Tummalapalle is a major nuclear mineral site in India's strategic energy landscape.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding domestic crude petroleum fulfillment.
India is highly import-dependent for crude petroleum, importing more than 85% of its total crude oil needs. Domestic crude oil production fulfills less than 15-20% of domestic demand. Statement 3 is incorrect.
High demand coupled with limited domestic oil extraction makes India a major net importer of petroleum products.

With reference to the external trade contacts and economic organization of the Harappan (Indus Valley) Civilization, consider the following statements:

1. Mesopotamian cuneiform texts from the Akkadian period make frequent references to commercial relations with 'Meluhha', generally identified by historians as the Indus region.
2. Characteristic Harappan rectangular steatite seals and etched carnelian beads have been excavated at Mesopotamian urban centers such as Kish and Ur.
3. The Harappan coastal settlement of Lothal served exclusively as a transit storage port and lacked domestic bead-making or metalworking craft industries.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1 and 2 only

Cevap

The correct option is the one stating that statements 1 and 2 only are correct.
Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets from the reign of Sargon of Akkad explicitly list imports of ivory, carnelian, lapis lazuli, and timber from 'Meluhha', which modern scholarship firmly identifies with the Indus Valley region. Furthermore, physical evidence such as characteristic Harappan steatite seals and distinctive long barrel carnelian beads have been excavated at Mesopotamian sites like Ur, Kish, and Nippur. Conversely, statement 3 is false because archaeological evidence at Lothal demonstrates that it was not merely a passive transit dockyard; it housed major domestic craft industries, including a well-defined bead-manufacturing factory with kilns and copper-smelting workshops.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding Mesopotamian literary evidence
Statement 1 is correct. Akkadian cuneiform inscriptions (c. 2300 BCE) mention trade with Meluhha (Indus region), Dilmun (Bahrain), and Magan (Oman).
Cuneiform records provide written documentation of Harappan long-distance maritime exchange.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding archaeological finds in Mesopotamia
Statement 2 is correct. Harappan seals, cubical stone weights, and etched carnelian beads were recovered from Sumerian and Akkadian cities like Ur, Kish, and Nippur.
Physical artifacts in Mesopotamian strata corroborate the cuneiform trade references.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding Lothal's economic functions
Statement 3 is incorrect. Archaeological excavations led by S.R. Rao revealed a large bead-making factory with working floors, raw materials, kilns, coppersmith tools, and shell workshops at Lothal.
Lothal was a prominent craft production hub in addition to functioning as a port.
