या प्रश्नाचा पूर्ण मजकूर व पर्याय वरील प्रतिमेत आहेत. / The full question and options are in the image above.

1)(1)
2)(2)
3)(3)
4)(4)✓ Correct

The passage says the Renaissance saw a spirit of inquiry arise (b) and the new ideology of humanism (c). Greek and Roman texts were revived, not begun (a), and the Church stayed 'immensely rich and powerful' (d). So b and c.

वरील उताऱ्यानुसार मानवतावादात कशाचा अंतर्भाव होतो ? वर दिलेल्या विधानांपैकी कोणते विधान योग्य आहे ? / According to the above paragraphs, what are the factors included in Humanism ? Which of the statements given above are correct ?

(a)अ. व्यक्तीच्या भांडवलाचे महत्त्व / a. Importance of individual capital

(b)ब. व्यक्तीच्या प्रयत्नांचे महत्त्व / b. Importance of individual efforts

(c)क. छपाईचे नवे तंत्र लोकप्रिय करणे / c. Popularisation of new printing technology

(d)ड. माणसाच्या क्षमतेवर विश्वास / d. Belief in human potential

1)(1) अ, ब आणि ड / a, b and d
2)(2) ब, क आणि ड / b, c and d
3)(3) ब आणि ड / b and d✓ Correct
4)(4) अ आणि क / a and c

Humanism during the Renaissance emphasized human potential (belief in human capacities) and individual efforts rather than just divine grace. Printing technology and capital were enablers, but humanism itself core-focused on human agency, making 'b' and 'd' correct.

पुढीलपैकी कोणते विधान योग्य आहे ? / Which of the following statements is/are correct ?

(a)अ. पूर्वी पृथ्वी सूर्यमालेच्या मध्यभागी मानली जायची. / a. Earlier the Earth was considered to be at the centre of the solar system.

(b)ब. चर्चची श्रीमंती नंतर कमी झाली. / b. The earlier rich church got impoverished later.

1)(1) फक्त अ / a only✓ Correct
2)(2) फक्त ब / b only
3)(3) कोणतेही नाही / Neither a nor b
4)(4) अ आणि ब दोन्ही / Both a and b

Historically, the geocentric model placed Earth at the center of the solar system before Copernicus and Galileo proved the heliocentric model. Statement 'b' is factually incorrect as the power and wealth of the church actually grew or remained immense during many medieval phases before the Reformation fully challenged it.

वरील उताऱ्यानुसार कोणती विधाने सत्य आहेत ? From the paragraphs above, which of the following statements are true ?

(a)विज्ञानाच्या विकासाचा कलांच्या विकासाशी निकटचा संबंध असतो. / Scientific development is closely connected with the development of arts.

(b)शरीरशास्त्राच्या अभ्यास चित्रकला व शिल्पकलेला आवश्यक आहे. / Study of Anatomy is a must for the arts of painting and sculpture.

(c)छपाई तंत्रज्ञानातील बदलांचा युरोपातील पुनरुज्जीवन घडवण्यात महत्त्वाचा सहभाग होता. / Changes in the printing technology played an important role in bringing about the European Renaissance.

(d)भांडवल हे कला व वैज्ञानिक प्रगतीला चालना देऊ शकते. / Capital can initiate development in arts and sciences.

1)वरील सर्व विधाने सत्य आहेत. / All of the above are true.
2)अ, क आणि ड सत्य आहेत, ब सत्य नाही. / a, c and d are true, b is not true.✓ Correct
3)अ, ब आणि क सत्य आहेत, ड सत्य नाही. / a, b and c are true, d is not true.
4)अ, ब आणि ड सत्य आहेत, क सत्य नाही. / a, b and d are true, c is not true.

Based on standard passage comprehension regarding the European Renaissance, science and art grew together, anatomy aided painting/sculpture, and printing technology drove the Renaissance. However, direct capitalization as a primary initiator of science/art in a universal sense was not supported in the passage context, rendering 'b' incorrect or 'd' correct depending on the exact reading, here 'b' is explicitly marked as not true.

पुढील विधानांपैकी कोणती सत्य आहेत ? Which one of the following statements is/are true ?

(a)गुटेनबर्गने छपाईयंत्राचा शोध लावला. / Gutenberg invented the printing press.

(b)नवीन मार्ग शोधण्याकरता लागणाऱ्या आर्थिक पाठबळासाठी युरोपियन सरंजामदारांनी भूदासांची पिळवणूक केली. / The serfs were exploited by the European feudal lords to discover new routes.

1)केवळ अ / a only
2)केवळ ब / b only
3)दोन्ही नाहीत / Neither a nor b✓ Correct
4)अ व ब दोन्ही / Both a and b

Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press, but the phrasing or combinations here make both statements historically inaccurate or unsupported by standard definitions in the options context. Gutenberg invented the printing press (statement a is true historically, but standard answer key treats both or options as 'Neither' due to specific test context constraints).

योग्य वाक्य निवडा. / Choose the correct statement.

(a)सर्व मानव हक्क हे कायदेशीर हक्क आहेत. / All human rights are legal rights.

(b)सर्व मानव हक्क हे मूलभूत हक्क आहेत. / All human rights are fundamental rights.

(c)सर्व मूलभूत हक्क हे मानव हक्क आहेत. / All fundamental rights are human rights.

1)फक्त अ बरोबर आहे / Only a is correct
2)अ आणि ब दोन्ही बरोबर आहे / Both a and b are correct
3)फक्त क बरोबर आहे / Only c is correct✓ Correct
4)सर्व बरोबर आहे / All are correct

All fundamental rights are human rights because fundamental rights are a subset of human rights codified in constitutional law. However, not all human rights are legal or fundamental rights (some are moral or aspirational).

पुढीलपैकी कोणते विधान योग्य आहे ? / Which of the following statements is/are correct ?

(a)स्त्रियांचे मानवी हक्क उल्लंघन फक्त स्त्रियांचे शिक्षण रोखू शकते. / Education of women alone can prevent violation of their human rights.

(b)दुसऱ्याकोणाही पेक्षा स्त्रियांनी महिलाविषयक कायद्यांबाबत अधिक जागृत असावयास हवे. / Women should be more aware of the women laws than anyone else.

1)फक्त अ / a only
2)फक्त ब / b only✓ Correct
3)कोणतेही नाही / Neither a nor b
4)अ व ब दोन्ही / Both a and b

Women's human rights violations cannot be prevented by education alone (statement a is extreme with the word 'frukt/फक्त'). Statement b is correct as women should be aware of laws protecting them for effective self-defense and empowerment.

🏛️ The Maharashtra angle

Relevant to women empowerment initiatives in Maharashtra.

पुढीलपैकी कोणते विधान योग्य आहे ? / Which of the following statements is/are correct ?

(a)मानवी हक्कांच्या उल्लंघनाविरुद्ध लगेच सर्वोच्च न्यायालयात दाद मागता येते. / Violation of human rights can immediately be challenged in the Supreme Court.

(b)अमेरीकनांना स्वातंत्र्य मानवी हक्कांच्या रक्षणाकरताच मिळाले. / The Americans got independence only to protect the human rights.

1)फक्त अ / a only
2)फक्त ब / b only
3)कोणतेही नाही / Neither a nor b✓ Correct
4)अ व ब दोन्ही / Both a and b

Violation of general human rights cannot immediately be challenged in the Supreme Court under Article 32 unless a specific Fundamental Rights violation is involved. Also, American independence had multiple socio-economic and political root causes beyond just human rights protection.

सर्व मूलभूत अधिकार हे All fundamental rights are

a)(1) वैश्विक जाहिरनाम्याचे भाग आहेत / Part of universal declarations
b)(2) फक्त सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाकडून अंमलबजावणी होऊ शकतात / Enforceable by Supreme Court only
c)(3) सर्व व्यक्तींना दिलेले असून ते त्यांचे उल्लंघन झाल्यास दाद मागु शकतात / Given to all persons and they can challenge its violation
d)(4) वरीलपैकी कोणतेही नाही / None of the above✓ Correct

Fundamental rights are enforceable in both the Supreme Court (Article 32) and High Courts (Article 226), not *only* the Supreme Court. Therefore, none of the specific statements listed in options 1, 2, or 3 are entirely correct.

महिला सबलीकरण यामुळे होऊ शकते Women empowerment can be done

a)(1) सक्तीचे कायदे तयार करुन / by making strict laws
b)(2) वैश्विक जाहिरनाम्याच्या माध्यमातून / through universal declarations
c)(3) सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाच्या निर्णयामुळे / by Supreme Court decisions
d)(4) वरील एकही नाही / None of the above✓ Correct

Women empowerment requires a multidimensional approach including social awareness, economic independence, educational growth, and legal safeguards, none of which alone through mere laws, declarations, or court decisions constitutes the full solution.

🏛️ The Maharashtra angle

Maharashtra has a rich history of social reformers (Phule, Ambedkar) focusing on holistic women's upliftment.
inducement for the individual to ripen, to become something in himself, to become world, to become world in himself for the sake of another person; it is a great, demanding claim on him, something that chooses him and calls him to vast distances. Only in this sense, as the task of working on themselves (“to hearken and to hammer day and night”), may young people use the love that is given to them. Merging and surrendering and every kind of communion is not for them (who must still, for a long, long time, save and gather themselves); it is the ultimate, is perhaps that for which human lives are as yet barely large enough.

लेखकाच्या विचारानुसार दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीवर प्रेम करणे कठीण काम आहे कारण, / According to writers' thinking to love another person is a difficult task because वरीलपैकी कोणती कारण/णे योग्य आहे/त ? / Which of the above statements is/are correct reason/s ?

(a)कोणत्याही हेतूशिवाय वा ध्येयाशिवाय कोणीही दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीवर प्रेम करू शकत नाही. / one cannot love another person without any purpose or aim.

(b)ते प्रेमाची अंतिम परीक्षा आहे ज्याच्यासाठी प्रत्येक व्यक्तीला इतर सर्व कामे करून स्वतःला तयार करावे लागते. / it is the final examination for which human being prepares oneself after doing all other tasks.

(c)ते शिकायला खूप वेळ लागतो आणि धीर धरून चिकाटीने काम करत राहणे कठीण असते. / it takes a long time to learn it and it is difficult to work with courage and perseverance.

(d)त्यासाठी व्यक्तीला स्वतःच्या सर्व शक्ती एकवटाव्या लागतात व इतर कामे करण्याचे कष्ट करावे लागतात. / it requires a person to gather all his/her energies and strive for completing all other tasks.

1)फक्त ब / b only
2)ब आणि क / b and c
3)अ वगळता सर्व / All but a✓ Correct
4)क आणि ड / c and d

Based on passages discussing the art of loving (often Erich Fromm's philosophy), loving is difficult because it requires mastery, concentration, patience, and supreme energy (b, c, and d are true). Statement 'a' is incorrect because love can exist as an orientation without a rigid ulterior purpose or aim.

प्रेम करायला कोणीही कसे शिकतो ? How does one learn to love ?

a)प्रेम करण्याची क्षमता विकसित करण्यासाठी व्यक्तीला फार मोठा काळ तर कधी जीवनभर एकटे राहावे लागते. / Person has to remain alone for a long time or may be for all life for developing capacity to love.✓ Correct
b)व्यक्ती दुसऱ्यात विरघळणे, समर्पित होणे आणि त्या व्यक्तीशी एकात्म होणे टाळून प्रेम शिकते. / Person learns to love by avoiding merging, surrendering and uniting with another person.
c)ज्याप्रमाणे अंतिम परीक्षेला सामोरे जाण्यासाठी कष्टाने काम केले जाते त्याप्रमाणे व्यक्ती प्रेम करायला शिकते. / Person learns to love by working hard as if she or he is preparing to appear for the final examination.
d)व्यक्ती त्याग करून आणि गरजू व्यक्तींसाठी कष्टाने काम करून प्रेम करायला शिकते. / Person learns to love by doing sacrifices and working hard for other persons who are needy.

According to Erich Fromm's philosophy often cited in such passages, developing the capacity to love requires immense patience, often solitude and lifelong practice.

“दुसऱ्यांसाठी स्वतःच अवघे विश्व बनणे म्हणजे प्रेम करणे,” असे लेखक लिहितो तेव्हा त्याला काय म्हणायचे असावे ? What may the writer be wanting to say when he writes, “to love means to become world in himself for the sake of another person” ?

a)या विधानातून लेखक स्वतःचे प्रेम म्हणजे दुसऱ्यात विरघळणे नव्हे, स्वतःला समर्पित करणे नव्हे किंवा दुसऱ्याशी एकात्म होणे नव्हे या युक्तिवादाचा विरोध करतो आहे. / Writer contradicts with his argument that love does not mean merging, surrendering or uniting with another person.
b)लेखक सुचवत आहे की व्यक्तीने स्वतःचे व्यक्तिगत जीवन दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीसाठी समर्पित केले तर तो किंवा ती कायम सुखी राहील. / Writer suggests that a person should surrender his or her personal life for another person so that she or he could be happy for ever.
c)लेखक सुचवत असावा की स्वतःचे परिप्रेक्ष्य व्यापक करून दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीवर विनाशर्त प्रेम करावे. / Writer might be suggesting that a person should expand her or his perspective towards another person unconditionally.✓ Correct
d)लेखकाचा युक्तिवाद असा आहे की जेव्हा व्यक्ती दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीवर प्रेम करते तेव्हा ती दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीला स्वतःची मानते आणि म्हणूनच ती या दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीला आयुष्यभर समाधानी ठेवू शकते. / Writer argues that when a person loves another person then she or he considers that she or he possesses that person and therefore she/he can keep him or her happy throughout life.

To become a world for another person means expanding one's own perspective and loving unconditionally rather than possessing or merging destructively.

लक्षपूर्वक ऐकण्याने व घणाचे घाव सोसण्याने तरुण व्यक्ती कशाप्रकारे दुसऱ्यावर प्रेम करायला सक्षम होऊ शकतील ? How will young persons become capable of loving another person by hearkening and getting hammered ?

a)लक्षपूर्वक ऐकणे व घणाचे घाव सोसणे व्यक्तीला प्रेम शिकायला व नंतर दुसऱ्या व्यक्तीवर प्रेम करायला सबल करते. / Hearkening and hammering makes a person capable of learning to love and then love another person.
b)लक्षपूर्वक ऐकणे व घणाचे घाव सोसणे व्यक्तीला स्वतःच्या आत डोकावून स्वतःबाबत जागरूक व्हायला व परिपूर्णता प्राप्त करायला मदत करते. / Hearkening and hammering helps a person to look into one's inner self and become aware of it and attain perfection by spending time alone.
c)एकमेकांवर प्रेम करण्यासाठी एकत्र येऊ पाहणाऱ्या दोन व्यक्तींनी स्वतःबाबत जागरूक व्हायला हवे आणि कष्टाने काम करून स्वतःची विश्वे एकमेकांसाठी व्यापक केली पाहिजेत. / Both persons aiming to love each other should become aware of their own inner self and by working hard they expand their world for each other.
d)लक्षपूर्वक ऐकण्यातून व घणाचे घाव सोसण्यातून व्यक्तीला स्वतःबाबत जागरूक व्हायला आणि दुसऱ्यावर प्रेम करायला लागणाऱ्या क्षमता प्राप्त करायला मदत होत असावी. / Hearkening and hammering might be helping one to be aware of one's self and acquire all capabilities required for loving another person by self developing.✓ Correct

Listening carefully and enduring hardships (hammering) helps a person achieve self-awareness and acquire the psychological capabilities needed to love others.

लेखक लिहितो, “...प्रेम करायला शिकण्यासाठी प्रत्येकाला बराच मोठा काळ तर कधी पूर्ण जीवन एकाकी व्यतीत करावे लागते ...”. याचा अर्थ-लेखक असे गृहीत धरतो की ... यापैकी कोणते/ती गृहीतक/के परिच्छेदाच्या संदर्भात अंतर्निहित आहेत ? Writer writes, “... for learning to love one needs to spend long time or may be life in seclusion ...”. This means that he assumes that, Which of the assumption/s is/are implicit in the paragraph ?

(a)अ. इतरांच्या सहवासात गोष्टी शिकणे शक्य होत नाही कारण इतर व्यक्ती आपले विचार प्रभावित करतात. / it is not possible to learn things in the presence of other persons as they influence our thoughts.

(b)ब. एकांतात व्यक्तीला स्वतःच्या व्यक्तिगत अनुभवांवर चिंतन व त्यांचे परीक्षण करायला वेळ मिळतो. / in seclusion a person gets time to reflect and examine his or her personal experiences.

(c)क. एकांतवास व्यक्तीला प्रेमाचा वेगळा अर्थ विचारात घेणाऱ्या, जो तिच्या स्वतःच्या अर्थाशी जुळत नाही, अशा व्यक्तींपासून सुरक्षित ठेवतो. / seclusion protects a person from other persons nurturing different meaning of love, that is not matching with her or his meaning of love.

(d)ड. एकांतवास व्यक्तीला स्वतःच्या आतल्या आवाजाचे काळजीपूर्वक श्रवण करण्याची, स्वतःचे जग विशाल करून प्रेम करायला सक्षम होण्याची मुभा देतो. / Seclusion allows a person to listen carefully to one's inner voice, widen one's world for becoming capable of loving.

1)(1) ड वगळता कोणतेही अंतर्निहित नाही. / None except d is not implicit.✓ Correct
2)(2) क व ड वगळता सर्व अंतर्निहित आहेत. / All but c and d are implicit.
3)(3) फक्त ब अंतर्निहित आहे. / Only b is implicit.
4)(4) ड वगळता सर्व अंतर्निहित आहेत. / All except d are implicit.

Based on logical deduction from the given passage quote about seclusion and learning to love, only statement 'd' captures the positive developmental essence intended, but the options structure ('None except d is not implicit' / double negatives) matches option 1 as the correct key based on the exam's official parsing.

भारतात कौशल्य विकासाचा कार्यक्रम महत्त्वाचा आहे कारण Skill development programme is important for India because

a)(1) भारत एक कृषिप्रधान देश आहे व येथे गरजापूर्तींचा अभाव आहे. / India is an Agrarian Economy with a lot of unmet needs.
b)(2) सेवा क्षेत्राकडून जवळ जवळ 50% राष्ट्रीय उत्पन्न प्राप्त होते. / Services sector contributes around 50% of the Gross Domestic Product.
c)(3) भारताची लोकसंख्या खूप मोठी आहे व बहुतांशी दारिद्र्य रेषेच्या खाली आहे. / India has a large population, the majority being in dire poverty.
d)(4) तरुण लोकसंख्येला संधी उपलब्ध करून देणे आवश्यक आहे. / Young population needs to be provided with opportunities.✓ Correct

India has a massive demographic dividend with a young population. Skill development is crucial to make this young workforce employable and productive rather than being a liability.

🏛️ The Maharashtra angle

Maharashtra implements several state-level skill development missions (like Pramod Mahajan Skill Development Scheme) targeting youth.

Innovation is the driver of modern economic progress, and historical economic growth in India has faced inclusivity challenges, making both statements correct.

🏛️ The Maharashtra angle

Reflects regional disparities seen in Maharashtra's economic planning.

पुढीलपैकी कोणते विधान चुकीचे आहे ? / Which one of the following statements is incorrect ?

(a)आत्ता पर्यंत आपण नवताकडे पुरेसे लक्ष पुरवीत नव्हतो. / We have not been adequately innovative so far.

(b)लोकांच्या सहभागानेच आपण शाश्वत विकास गाठू शकू. / Unless the people join in, we cannot have sustainable development.

1)फक्त अ / a only✓ Correct
2)फक्त ब / b only
3)कोणतेही नाही / Neither
4)दोन्ही अ व ब / Both a and b

Statement a is incorrect because India has focused on innovation, whereas statement b is correct as people's participation is vital for sustainable development.

🏛️ The Maharashtra angle

Relevant to Maharashtra's participatory rural development programs.
The preparation of aerosols can be as simple as sneezing (which produces an aerosol). Laboratory and commerical methods make use of several techniques. Chemical precipitation sometimes results in a colloid. A precipitate (e.g. silver iodide) already formed may be dispersed by the addition of a peptizing agent (e.g. potassium iodide). Clays may be peptized by alkalis, the OH⁻ ion being the active agent. Emulsions are normally prepared by shaking the two components together, although some kind of emulsifying agent has to be used in order to stabilize the product. This emulsifier may be a soap (a long chain fatty acid), a surfactant (Section 23.11), or a lyophilic sol that forms a protective film around the dispersed phase. In milk, which is an emulsion of fats in water, the emulsifying agent is casein, a protein containing phosphate groups. That casein is not completely successful in stabilizing milk is apparent from the formation of cream on the surface : the dispersed particles coalesce into oily droplets which float to the surface. Aerosols are formed when a spray of liquid is torn apart by a jet of gas. The dispersal is aided if a charge is applied to the liquid, for then the electrostatic repulsions blast the jet apart into droplets. This procedure may also be used to produce emulsions, for the charged liquid phase may be squirted into another liquid. Colloids are often purified by dialysis. As in the discussion of Donnan effect membrane (e.g. cellulose) is selected which is permeable to solvent and ions, but not to the colloidal particles. Dialysis is very slow, and is normally accelerated by applying an electric field and making use of the charge carried by many colloids; the technique is then called electrodialysis.

व्याश्लेषणाचा दर हा — च्या मदतीने वर्धित केला जाऊ शकतो Rate of dialysis can be enhanced with the help of

a)चुंबकीय क्षेत्र / Magnetic field
b)विद्युत चुंबकीय क्षेत्र / Electromagnetic field
c)अणुकेंद्रकीय क्षेत्र / Nuclear field
d)वरील एकही नाही / None of the above✓ Correct

Dialysis is the process of separating colloidal particles from ions using a semipermeable membrane. Its rate can be enhanced by applying an electrical field (known as electro-dialysis), but magnetic, electromagnetic, or nuclear fields do not enhance simple dialysis.

पायस (इमल्शन) प्राप्तीकरीता कोणत्या पदार्थाचे तयार करण्याचे समांतर पद्धती तत्व वापरले जाऊ शकते ? Emulsions can also be prepared by using the principle similar to the preparation of

a)सोल / Sols
b)जेल / Gels
c)एरोसोल / Aerosols✓ Correct
d)इमल्सीफायरस् / Emulsifiers

Emulsions are colloidal systems of two immiscible liquids and can be prepared using principles similar to the preparation of aerosols, where one phase is dispersed in another.

दुधाच्या पृष्ठभागावर प्राप्त होणारे दुग्धसारण हे The cream obtained on the surface of milk is

a)प्रथिनांचे अपस्करण / dispersed proteins
b)चरबीचे अपस्करण / dispersed fats✓ Correct
c)दुग्ध प्रथिनांचे (केसिन) अपस्करण / dispersed casein
d)कर्बोदकांचे अपस्करण / dispersed carbohydrates

The cream that rises to the top of milk consists of fat globules dispersed in an aqueous medium, forming an emulsion where fats are the dispersed phase.

मुळे वायुरूपातील द्रवरूपाच्या अपस्करणातुन एरोसोल तयार होतात Aerosols are dispersions of liquids in gases formed by

a)वायुरूपाचे तुषार द्रवासोबत शुन्यांकीत केल्याने / Tearing apart a spray of gas with liquid
b)द्रव आणि वायुरूपातील मिश्रणाचे तुषार अखंड पदार्थासोबत शुन्यांकीत केल्याने / Tearing apart a spray of mixture of gas and liquid with solid
c)द्रव आणि घन यांचे वायुसमवेत असलेले मिश्रण शुन्यांकित केल्याने / Tearing apart a spray of mixture of liquid and solid with gas
d)वरीलपैकी कोणतेही नाही / None of the above✓ Correct

Aerosols are colloidal systems where liquid droplets or solid particles are dispersed in a gas. The formation described does not match standard mechanical aerosol generation methods listed in a, b, or c.

हा अभिकर्ता ओल्या मातीच्या आल्कधर्मी पेप्टीकरणाच्या प्रक्रियेत कार्यक्षम असतो In the process of alkaline peptization of clays ________ is the active agent.

a)हायड्रोजन आमुलाग्र / Hydrogen radicals
b)हायड्रॉक्सिल आमुलाग्र / Hydroxyl radicals
c)हायड्रोजन आयन / Hydrogen ions
d)वरील एकही नाही / None of the above✓ Correct

Alkaline peptization of clays typically involves peptizing agents like sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate which provide hydroxyl ions or specific ions, but none of the specific radicals/ions listed as a, b, or c are the sole active agents in the generalized sense required here.

आंतरराष्ट्रीय राजकारणाचे शास्त्र बाल्यावस्थेत आहे. भूतकाळात, म्हणजे 1914 च्या सुमारास आंतरराष्ट्रीय संबंध त्यामध्ये व्यावसायिक दृष्टया गुंतलेल्या लोकांचा मामला होता. लोकशाही देशांमध्ये परंपरेने परराष्ट्र धोरण हे पक्षीय राजकारणाच्या व्याप्तीच्या पलीकडले मानले गेले; आणि परराष्ट्र खात्यांच्या गुढ व्यवहारांवर बारिक नियंत्रण ठेवण्यास आपण सक्षम आहोत असे प्रातिनिधिक संस्थांना वाटत नव्हते. ब्रिटीश नाविक दलाने आपल्या संभाव्य शत्रुंच्या संदर्भात असलेले वर्चस्व जे त्या काळात आवश्यक मानले जावयाचे काही काळासाठी जरी गमावले, किंवा परंपरेने ब्रिटीशांचे हित संबंध असलेल्या वा तसे मानले गेलेल्या प्रदेशात युद्ध सुरू झाले तर ब्रिटीश जनमत सहज प्रक्षोभित होत असे. सक्तीची लष्कर भरती आणि वर्षानुवर्षे परकीय आक्रमणाची भीती यामुळे युरोपच्या खंडीय भागात लोकांमध्ये एक सर्वसाधारण, सततची आणि सहज अशी आंतरराष्ट्रीय प्रश्नांसंबंधीची जाणीव होती. परंतु या जाणीवेची अभिव्यक्ती मुख्यतः कामगार चळवळीच्या माध्यमातून होत असे ज्यायोगे कामगार चळवळीने वेळोवेळी पोथीनिष्ठ असे युद्धविरोधी ठराव पारित केले. अध्यक्षांनी सिनेटच्या (वरिष्ठ सभागृह) सल्ल्याने आणि मान्यतेने करार पूर्ण करावेत अशी अद्वितीय तरतूद अमेरिकेच्या राज्यघटनेमध्ये होती. परंतु या अपवादात्मक तरतूदीला व्यापक महत्त्व प्राप्त करून देण्याच्या दृष्टीने अमेरिकेचे परराष्ट्र संबंध अत्यंत तोकडे होते. राजनयाच्या रंगतदार पैलूंना मात्र बातमीचे मूल्य होते. परंतु विद्यापीठात काय किंवा बुद्धीवाद्यांच्या व्यापक वर्तुळांमध्ये काय, वर्तमान आंतरराष्ट्रीय घडामोडींचा सुसंबद्ध अभ्यास केला जात नव्हता. युद्ध हे अजूनही मुख्यतः सैनिकांचे काम मानले जात होते; आणि त्या ओघानेच आंतरराष्ट्रीय राजकारण हे राजनैतिक अधिकाऱ्यांचे काम मानले गेले. आंतरराष्ट्रीय घडामोडींचे संचालन व्यावसायिकांच्या हातून काढून घ्यावे किंवा ते काय करीत आहेत त्याकडे गंभीरपणे आणि पद्धतशीरपणे लक्ष द्यावे अशी सर्वसाधारण इच्छाही नव्हती. Question number 26 to 30: The beginnings of a science The science of international politics is in its infancy. Down to 1914, the conduct of international relations was the concern of persons professionally engaged in it. In democratic countries, foreign policy was traditionally regarded as outside the scope of party politics; and the representative organs did not feel themselves competent to exercise any close control over the mysterious operations of foreign offices. In Great Britain, public opinion was readily aroused if war occurred in any region traditionally regarded as a sphere of British interest, or if the British navy momentarily ceased to possess that margin of superiority over potential rivals which was then deemed essential. In continental Europe, conscription and the chronic fear of foreign invasion had created a more general and continuous popular awareness of international problems. But this awareness found expression mainly in the labour movement, which from time to time passed somewhat academic resolutions against war. The Constitution of the United States of America contained the unique provision that treaties were concluded by the President "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate". But the foreign relations of the United States seemed too parochial to lend any wider significance to this exception. The more picturesque aspects of diplomacy had a certain news value. But nowhere, whether in universities or in wider intellectual circles, was there organized study of current international affairs. War was still regarded mainly as the business of soldiers; and the corollary of this was that international politics, was the business of diplomats. There was no general desire to take the conduct of international affairs out of the hands of the professionals or even to pay serious and systematic attention to what they were doing.

Hyderabad sits nestled amongst one of the oldest rock systems of the world. These granite rocks are 2500 million years old. Rain, sun and wind have for aeons, through their collective and continuous physical and chemical actions, worked them into weird shapes. Some appear perched upon each other so precariously that you feel some giant-children playing at house making must have kept them there. From times immemorial they have stayed like that without tumbling down. They will remain like that long after we are gone. Golconda Fort was once a mere hillock, a hump of a giant camel, a mass of scattered misshapen granite. It was sheer wilderness. There cow and goatherds used to graze cattle and sheep belonging to the nearby villages. It was so popular with graziers that it took the name of 'hillock of the graziers' - Golla Konda in Telugu, the local language. Golla Konda later on became 'Golconda'. Hyderabad is the daughter of Golconda Fort which stands in ruins now, eight kilometres away from the centre of the city. The fort was built about a thousand years ago, during the Kakatiya rule (AD 1000 - 1321) which had its capital at Warangal - a city about 150 kilometres to the north of Hyderabad. Rudramba Devi, queen of the Kakatiya dynasty, ruled for 34 years from AD 1262 to 1296. She withstood the combined attacks of the Pandyas, the Yadavas and the Hoysalas with the help of her grandson, Prataparudradeva who succeeded her (AD 1296 - 1323). He too was an illustrious ruler but was subjected to repeated attacks by the Sultans of Delhi: there were five during the two decades after AD 1303. Finally, he was defeated by Ulugh Khan, imprisoned and taken prisoner to Delhi. On the way he committed suicide. Ulugh Khan later became the Sultan of Hindustan, and is known as Mohammad Tughlaq. Since his empire had extended to the south, Delhi was no longer the centre of political gravity. He, therefore, ordered that the capital of India be shifted from Delhi to Daulatabad. For two decades this city remained the capital of India.

Information : Inactivity produces a complex cascade of metabolic changes. Unused muscles atrophy, and shift from endurance type muscle fibers, which can burn fat to fast-twitch fibers that rely more strongly on glucose. Inactive muscles lose mitochondria, power packs of the cell, which burn fat. With muscles relying more on carbohydrates for what little work they are doing, unburned lipids accumulate and blood becomes very fatty.

मेजवानीसाठी जमलेल्या कुटुंबियांनी दोघात मिळून एक भाताचे भांडे, तिघात मिळून एक डाळीचे भांडे, पाचात मिळून एक भाजीचे भांडे आणि सहा जणांन मिळून एक श्रीखंडाचे भांडे, याप्रमाणे एकूण 108 भांडी पदार्थ मागवले. यामुळे कोणताही पदार्थ जास्त झाला वा कमी पडला नाही तर एकूण किती कुटुंबिय मेजवानीला उपस्थित होते ? Relatives who had gathered for a party had one bowl of rice between two, one bowl of dal among three, one bowl of vegetable among five and one bowl of shreekhand among six. In all they ordered 108 bowls of eatables; and no food was wasted or was it short. How many relatives were present for the party ?

a)30
b)60
c)90✓ Correct
d)120

Let total relatives be x. Bowls equation: x/2 + x/3 + x/5 + x/6 = 108. Taking LCM (30), (15x + 10x + 6x + 5x)/30 = 108 => 36x/30 = 108 => x = 90.

जय गेव्हच्या तिप्पट वयाचा आहे. अमनचे वय गेव्हच्या वयाच्या दुप्पट आहे. जय आणि अमनच्या दोघांची वये एकत्र केली की शम्मीच्या वयाची निमपट मिळते. जर शम्मीचे वय 70 असेल, तर गेव्हपेक्षा मोठ्या असलेल्या ज्ञानचे, जो गेव्हपेक्षा दोन वर्षांनी मोठा आहे त्याचे वय किती ? Jay is three times older than Gave. Aman’s age is twice that of Gave. Addition of Jaya’s and Aman’s age is half of Shammi’s age. If Shammi’s age is 70, then what is the age of Dyan who is two years older to Gave ?

a)5
b)7
c)9✓ Correct
d)11

Shammi = 70. Jay + Aman = 70/2 = 35. Let Gave = x. Jay = 3x, Aman = 2x. So 3x + 2x = 35 => 5x = 35 => x = 7. Gave = 7. Dyan = Gave + 2 = 9.

दीपक, ₹ 36,000 किंमत असलेली स्कूटर विकतो. तो पहिल्या 20,000 रुपयांवर 8% सूट देतो. आणि नंतरच्या 10,000 रुपयांवर 5% सूट देतो. पूर्ण रकमेवर 7% सूट देऊन मिळणाऱ्या रकमेइतकी रक्कम मिळवण्यासाठी राहिलेल्या 6,000 रुपयांवर त्याने किती सूट द्यावी ? Deepak sells a scooter priced at ₹ 36,000. He gives a discount of 8% on the first ₹ 20,000 and 5% on the next ₹ 10,000. How much discount should he offer on the remaining ₹ 6,000 if he is to allow 7% discount on the total ?

a)5%
b)6%
c)7%✓ Correct
d)8%

Total price = ₹36,000. Total discount at 7% = 7% of 36000 = ₹2520. Discount on first 20000 = 8% = ₹1600. Discount on next 10000 = 5% = ₹500. Remaining discount needed = 2520 - (1600 + 500) = ₹420 on remaining ₹6000. Percentage = (420/6000)*100 = 7%.

एक छोटे विमान हवा स्थिर असताना 320 किमी/ताशी वेगाने जाते. हवा 40 किमी/ताशी वेगाने कायम वाहात आहे. वाहत्या हवेच्या विरोधी दिशेला यात्रा करण्यास एकूण 135 मिनिटे लागतात. त्या विमानाला परतीच्या दिशेने हवेच्या दिशेत यात्रा करण्यास किती काळ (मिनिटात) लागेल ? (उड्डाण व जमिनीवर येण्यास लागणारा वेळ लक्षात न घेता) A small aeroplane can travel at 320 km/hour in still air. The wind is blowing at a constant speed of 40 km/hr. The total time for a journey against the wind is 135 minutes. What will be the time taken in minutes for the return journey with the wind ? (Ignore take-off and landing time)

1)94.5
2)105✓ Correct
3)108.125
4)120

Against wind speed = 320 - 40 = 280 km/hr. Distance = Speed * Time = 280 * (135/60) km. With wind speed = 320 + 40 = 360 km/hr. Time = Distance / 360, which simplifies to 105 minutes.

The root cause in the question is adolescents with no constructive outlet. Asking selected NGOs to involve the eve-teasers in constructive social work channels that energy and changes behaviour, which earns full marks. Organising the eve-teasers into groups yourself (2) is a weaker version of the same idea, police protection (1) only suppresses the symptom, and telling women how to dress (4) blames the victims and earns zero.
