26. (b) Mihira Bhoja I (836-885 CE) or Bhoja I

is considered as the greatest stand most
powerful ruler of the Pratihara dynasty. At its
height, Bhojas empire extended to Narmada
River in the South, Sutlej River in the
northwest, and up to Bengal in the east. He
was a scholar as well.
27. (a) Subhash Chandra Bose was elected
Congress President in 1938 and 1939. At the
end of his first term, the presidential election
to the Tripuri Congress session took place
early in 1939. Netaji was re - elected by
defeating Dr Pattabhi Sitaramayaa who had
been backed by the Mahatma Gandhi and the
Congress Working Committee.
28. (b) Trans-Siberian Railway, that connects
Moscow with the Russian Far East and the
Sea of Japan, is the longest

railway line in the world with a length of

9,289 km. There are connecting branch lines
into Mongolia, China and North Korea.
29.(a)
30. (d) Chlorine is used to disinfect water and
is part of the sanitation process for sewage
and industrial waste. During
the production of paper and cloth, it is used
as a bleaching agent. It is also used in
cleaning products; including household bleach
which is chlorine dissolved in water Bleaching
powder is an important and a commonly used
bleaching agent prepared from chlorine.
31.(d) The underground water of Karst
topography carves our impressive channels
and caves That are susceptible to collapse
from the surface. When enough limestone is
eroded from underground, a sinkhole (also
called a do line) may develop. Sinkholes are
depressions that form when a portion of the
lithosphere below is eroded away.
32. (c) The three-tier Panchayati Raj system is
made of Gram Panchayats at the village level,
Panchayat Samiti at the
intermediate (block) level and Zila Paiishad at
the district level. A Panchayat Samiti is
constituted for each block
(each district is divided into several blocks)
and is accountable for its functions to the Zila
Parishad.
33. (d) During the Rainy Season in India (MidJune to the end of September), the intense
heat, that prevails in the Indian subcontinent
causes a low pressure region over the
Northern Plains in the Northwestern parts of
the country. It is intense enough to attract the
moisture-bearing winds from the Indian
Ocean. Thus, the south-east trade winds from
the Southern Hemisphere are attracted
towards India. On crossing the equator, they
are deflected to their right and blow over the
Indian subcontinent as the south-west
monsoon winds.
34. (d) Chaitanya was a Hindu monk and
social reformer from 16th century India who
founded Gaudiya Vaish
navism, aVaishnava religious movement.

35. (d) Net National product (NNP) is Gross
National Product minus a depreciation
allowance for the wearing out of machines and
buildings during the period. In other words,
NNP= Gross National Product-Depreciation
Allowance. Since NNP counts only the net
additions to the nations stock, it is. less than
GNP.
36. (a) Photoperiodism is the developmental
responses of plants to the relative lengths of
light and dark periods. It affects the vegetative
growth as well as the time of flowering and
fruiting in plants. For example, some annual
plants may be made to complete their life
cycle twice in a year, while others can be
made to take on characteristics of everlasting
flowering species and continue to produce
flowers and fruits on an indefinite period,
while in yet other species the plant may
continue vegetative development indefinitely
without flowering.
37. (b) Since alpha particles are high in
ionizing power, it is difficult for them to
penetrate matter thoroughly. This is because
alpha particles are likely to ionize the first
thing they come into contact with; thus, they
hold a small range of penetrating power. Beta
rays have intermediate; while, gamma Rays
and X Rays have maximum-penetrating
power.
38. (b) In eukaryotic (with nucleus) cells, the
vast majority of DNA is found in the nucleus
as discrete bodies called chromosomes. The
exception to this being the small amount of
DNA found in organdies outside the nucleus
(mitochondria and chloroplasts).In human
cells, more than 99% of the total DNA is
nuclear genomic DNA and the remainder
mitochondrial.
39. (c) Macroeconomics is a branch of
economics dealing with the performance,
structure, behavior, arid decision making of
an economy as a whole, rather than individual
markets. It explains the relationship between
such factors
as national income, output, consumption,
unemployment, inflation, savings, investment,
40. (d) Mazagon Dock is situated in Mumbai,
Maharashtra. It is Indias prime shipyard that
manufactures warships and submarines for

the Indian Navy, and offshore platforms and

associated support vessels for offshore oil
drilling. It also builds tankers, cargo bulk
carriers, passenger ships and ferries.
41. (b) A thing of beauty is a joy for ever is
the opening line of Endymion, a poem by
John Keats that was first published in 1818.
Endymion is written in rhyming couplets in
iambic pentameter (also known as heroic
couplets). Keats based the poem on the Greek
myth of Endymion, the shepherd beloved by
the moon goddess Selene.
42. (b) The first SAARC summit was held in
Dhaka, Bangladesh, in December 1985. It was
attended by the Government representative
and president of Bangladesh, Maldives,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the kings of Bhutan
and Nepal, and the prime minister of India.
They signed the SAARC Charter on 8
December 1985, thereby establishing the
regional association.
43. (d) The name Darjeeling comes from the
Tibetan word doije, meaning the thunderbolt
scepter of the Hindu deity Indra, and ling, a
place or land. Soit means place of the
thunderbolt. Located in the Mahabharata
Range or Lesser Himalaya, Darjeeling is
situated in West Bengal.
44. (d) The maximum 20% of the input of
solar energy falling on leaves is converted into
chemical energy by green plants. Green plants
utilize solar energy and synthesize sugar from
C02 and water through the process of
photosynthesis. However, they are able to
utilize only 3% of the light energy that strikes
on their green parts; the rest is dissipated as
heat.
45. (d) Proteins from animals are called first
class proteins they provide all the essential
amino adds, including those that the body
cant make. Proteins from plants are second
class proteins.
46. (a) The density of dry air is. more than
that of moist air (when moisture is removed
from air, its density increases). The speed of
sound in a medium is inversely proportional
to the square, root of its density. Therefore,
the
speed of sound in moist air is more than that
in dry air.

47.(c)
48. (a) The instrument used to measure
electrical current is called an ammeter, which
is actually a shortened form of amp meter.
The current is measured in amperes. In
scientific labs, a much more sensitive
instrument called a galvanometer is used to
measure very small currents.
49. (c) Karnataka
50.(c)Dinesh Sharma , the Indian columnist
and author, has won the 2016 Computer
History Museum Book Prize for his book The
Outsourcer: The Story of Indias IT
Revolution. The book is a panoramic history

technology in India spanning almost half a
century. The prize of $1,000 is awarded by the
Special Interest Group for Computers,
Information and Society (SIGCIS ) for the
History of Technology.
