Real questions that test this

पुढील दोन विधानांपैकी कोणते योग्य आहे ? Which of the following two statements is/are correct ?

(a)कोणत्याही पार्टीला आर्थिक व्यवस्थेचा विकास कसा करावयाचा हे माहीत नाही म्हणून दोन्ही असुरक्षित आहेत.

(b)नेहरूंनी फाळणी नंतरच्या स्फोटक वातावरणात धर्मनिरपेक्षता पाळण्याऐवजी आर्थिक विकासाला प्रोत्साहित केले.

1)फक्त अ / Only a
2)फक्त ब / Only b
3)दोन्ही अ आणि ब / Both a and b
4)दोन्ही नाहीत / Neither a nor b✓ Correct

Neither statement is considered correct in standard political-historical analysis. Parties do have economic agendas, and Nehru prioritized both nation-building, secularism, and economic planning (like Five-Year Plans) rather than abandoning secularism.

जोड्या जुळवा : (a) मयूरभंज (i) मध्यवर्ती राज्यकारभार (b) कोल्हापूर (ii) मुंबई प्रांतात विलीन (c) रामपूर (iii) ओरिसात विलीन (d) भोपाळ (iv) उत्तर प्रदेशात विलीन

(a)मयूरभंज - मध्यवर्ती राज्यकारभार / Central Administration

(b)कोल्हापूर - मुंबई प्रांतात विलीन / Merged into Bombay Province

(c)रामपूर - ओरिसात विलीन / Merged into Orissa

(d)भोपाळ - उत्तर प्रदेशात विलीन / Merged into Uttar Pradesh

1)(iii) (ii) (iv) (i)✓ Correct
2)(i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
3)(iv) (iii) (ii) (i)
4)(iii) (i) (iv) (ii)

Mayurbhanj was integrated into central administration initially before merging with Orissa, Kolhapur was merged into the Bombay province, Rampur into Uttar Pradesh, and Bhopal into the central administration (though listed here as matching options). Based on standard merger matching, Mayurbhanj goes to Orissa (iii), Kolhapur to Bombay (ii), Rampur to UP (iv), and Bhopal to central administration (i).
