सर्वसामान्यांच्या अहिंसक चळवळी वसाहतवादी अधिकाऱ्यांना नेहमीच अडचणीत टाकतात, कारण _________. Non-violent movements of the common people always put colonial authorities in trouble, because _________.

When colonial authorities use force against peaceful, non-violent satyagrahis, it strips away the veneer of legitimacy and exposes that brute police/military force is the ultimate foundation of colonial rule.

खालील विधाने वाचा : a. 'व्यापक जनसंघटनांच्या आधारे चालविण्यात येणारी एक वर्चस्ववादी चळवळ' असे भारतीय राष्ट्रीय चळवळीचे स्वरूप होते. b. वर्चस्ववादी जनआंदोलनांच्या स्वरूपामुळे अहिंसा राष्ट्रीय चळवळीचा एक मूलभूत घटक ठरली. c. चळवळीचे अहिंसक प्रकार स्वीकारल्याने सर्वसामान्य जनतेला या चळवळीत सहभागी होता आले. Read the statements : a. The Indian National Movement was in the form of a 'hegemonic movement carried out on the basis of broad mass organization'. b. Non-violence became a fundamental element of the National Movement due to the hegemonic nature of the mass movement. c. The adoption of non-violent forms of movement enabled the common people to participate in this movement.

Statement b posits that non-violence became a fundamental element due to the hegemonic mass-movement nature of the Indian freedom struggle. Statement c logically follows as an outcome (result) of this adoption, making c the result of b.

असत्य विधान ओळखा. (1) सर्वसामान्यांच्या अहिंसक चळवळीला आम जनतेचा पाठिंबा असतो. (2) वसाहतवादी राजवटीचे वर्चस्व किंवा नैतिक आधार कणाकणाने नष्ट होत जातो. (3) अहिंसक चळवळ दडपून टाकल्याने वसाहतवादी राजवटीच्या वर्चस्वाला धक्का पोहोचतो. (4) लोकवाद व नैतिकता हाच वसाहतवादी राजवटीचा खरा आधार असल्याचे उघडकीस येते. Identify the incorrect statement. (1) The non-violent movement of the common people has the support of the general public. (2) The dominance or moral basis of the colonial regime is gradually being destroyed. (3) Suppressing non-violent movements undermines the dominance of colonial rule. (4) It is revealed that populism and morality are the true basis of colonial rule.

Colonial rule is actually based on coercion, exploitation, and institutional dominance, not on populism and morality. Therefore, statement 4 claiming populism and morality as the true basis is incorrect.

स्त्रियांना भारतीय राष्ट्रीय चळवळीत सहभाग होता आले, कारण Women were able to participate in the Indian National Movement because

Women were able to participate extensively in the Indian National Movement primarily because non-violence was an intrinsic part of the movement's character, which eliminated physical combat barriers and encouraged moral resistance.

असत्य विधान ओळखा. Identify the incorrect statement.

Statement 'd' is incorrect because suppressing a peaceful movement through brute force is morally indefensible in a democratic framework.

In each circle the bottom number is the sum of the squares of the top two: 10² + 3² = 100 + 9 = 109 and 7² + 4² = 49 + 16 = 65. So 11² + 6² = 121 + 36 = 157.

एका गावात पुरुष व स्त्रियांचे प्रमाण ९ : ८ या प्रमाणात आहे. पुरुषांची संख्या ही स्त्रियांच्या संख्येपेक्षा 500 ने जास्त आहे. तर पुरुष व स्त्रिया यांची एकूण संख्या किती ? In a village ratio of men to women is 9 : 8. The number of men is 500 more than the number of women. What is the total number of men and women ?

Let men = 9x and women = 8x. Given 9x - 8x = 500, so x = 500. Total number of men and women = 9x + 8x = 17x = 17 * 500 = 8500.

जर 'R' हा 'भागकार' दर्शवितो, 'T' हा 'बेरीज' दर्शवितो, 'W' हा 'वजाबाकी' दर्शवितो आणि 'B' हा 'गुणाकार' दर्शवितो तर 15W12T8R2B6 = ? If 'R' denotes ‘divided by', 'T' denotes ‘added to', 'W' denotes ‘Subtracted from’ and 'B' denotes ‘multiplied by’ then 15W12T8R2B6 = ?

Substitute symbols: R = /, T = +, W = -, B = *. Expression: 15W12T8R2B6 becomes 15 - 12 + 8 / 2 * 6. Following BODMAS: 8 / 2 = 4; 4 * 6 = 24; 15 - 12 + 24 = 3 + 24 = 27.

Let present ages be 7x and 2x. Five years ago: (7x - 5) / (2x - 5) = 6 / 1. Solving: 7x - 5 = 12x - 30 => 5x = 25 => x = 5. Present ages = 7(5) = 35 and 2(5) = 10.

दहा संख्यांची सरासरी 7 आहे, जर प्रत्येक संख्येच्या 15 ने गुणले तर संख्यांच्या नवीन संचांची सरासरी ______ . The average of ten numbers is 7. If each number is multiplied by 15, then the average of the new set of numbers is ______ .

If each number in a set is multiplied by a constant k, the new average is also multiplied by that same constant. New average = 7 * 15 = 105.

दोन संख्यांचा लसावि हा त्यांच्या मसाविच्या 45 पट आहे. जर एक संख्या 125 असून त्यांच्या मसावि आणि लसाविची बेरीज 1150 आहे, तर दुसरी संख्या _______ . The LCM of two numbers is 45 times their HCF. If one of the number is 125 and sum of their HCF and LCM is 1150, then the other number is _______ .

Given LCM = 45 * HCF and LCM + HCF = 1150, we get 46 * HCF = 1150, so HCF = 25 and LCM = 1125. Using Product = LCM * HCF, second number = (25 * 1125) / 125 = 225.

एका संख्येच्या अडीच टक्के जर 8 असेल तर ती संख्या कोणती ? If 2.5 percent of a number is 8, what is that number ?

Let the number be x. Then (2.5 / 100) * x = 8. Solving for x gives x = (8 * 100) / 2.5 = 800 / 2.5 = 320.

एका आयताची रुंदी a आणि लांबी b आहे, जर रुंदी 20% नी कमी केली आणि लांबी 10% नी वाढवली, तर नवीन आयताचे क्षेत्रफल ab च्या तुलनेत शेकडेवारीत किती आहे ? A rectangle has width a and length b. If the width is decreased by 20% and the length is increased by 10%, then what is the area of new rectangle in percentage compared to ab ?

New width = 0.8a, new length = 1.1b. New area = (0.8a) * (1.1b) = 0.88ab, which is 88% of the original area ab.
