For a quarter of a century, those men had followed Gandhi. They had thrown off their western suits for his khadi, moved their fingers to the unfamiliar rhythms of the spinning-wheel. In his name, they had marched into the flailing lathis of the police and the gates of British jails. Quelling occasional doubts, they had followed him on his improbable crusades to the improbable triumph now beckoning: independence wrested from the British by Gandhian non-violence. They had followed him for many reasons, but above all, because they saw that his unique genius for communicating with the soul of India could draw mass support to their banner. The potential differences between them had been submerged in the common struggle with the British. Now, in that hot Delhi night, those differences began to emerge as they debated Gandhi's plan to make Jinnah Prime Minister. If they refused to endorse his scheme, Gandhi argued, the new Viceroy might find himself driven into a corner from which the only escape would be partition. Walking from village to village in Noakhali and later Bihar, applying his 'ointment' to India's sore spots, Gandhi had understood infinitely better than those political leaders in Delhi the tragedy partition might produce. He had seen in the huts and swamps of Noakhali what havoc communal fury, once unleashed, could wreak. Partition, he argued, risked unleashing those passions, not dampening them. Desperately, he begged his followers to accept his idea as perhaps their last chance to keep India united and to prevent that tragedy. He could not budge Nehru and Patel. There was a limit to the price they were prepared to pay to keep India united and handing over power to their foe, Jinnah, transgressed it. They did not share Gandhi's conviction that partition would inevitably lead to terrible violence. Broken-hearted, Gandhi would have to report to the Viceroy that he had not been able to carry his colleagues with him. The real break was still some distance ahead, but Gandhi and those men he'd so patiently groomed were fast approaching a parting of the ways. The culmination of Gandhi's crusade was now drawing near, and it would end as it had begun, in the stillness of his soul.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
A Shopkeeper gets 14% profit by selling a watch at ₹ 2850 but he sold the watch after giving a discount for ₹ 2700. What is his profit percentage?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
His profit is 8 %.
A 14% profit at a selling price of 2850 gives the cost price:
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{CP} &= \frac{2850}{1.14} = 2500 \\ \text{profit} &= 2700 - 2500 = 200 \\ \text{profit}\% &= \frac{200}{2500} \times 100 = 8 \end{aligned} \]
The discount only lowers the selling price to 2700, so the cost price stays 2500. Working the profit out on the selling price instead (200 out of 2700, about 7.4%) is the slip behind the 7% option.
Table given below gives the Estimated and Actual Sales Revenue and Cost Figures for three years.
| Sales Revenue | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | Cost | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated | 1281 | 1452 | 1228 | Estimated | 986 | 1051 | 1024 |
| Actual | 1326 | 1286 | 1452 | Actual | 988 | 1076 | 1068 |
Estimated Profit = Estimated Revenue - Estimated Cost
Actual Profit = Actual Revenue - Actual Cost
Company plans to use a different mechanism for forecasting of its maximum possible profit = Max (Estimate, Actual (Sales Revenue) - Min (Estimate, Actual (Cost)). What is the maximum possible profit derived this way?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The maximum possible profit is 428.
For each year, take the larger of the estimated and actual revenue and subtract the smaller of the estimated and actual cost.
\[ \begin{aligned} 2007 &: 1326 - 986 = 340 \\ 2008 &: 1452 - 1051 = 401 \\ 2009 &: 1452 - 1024 = 428 \end{aligned} \]
The largest of the three is 428, in 2009, where the actual revenue (1452) was the higher figure and the estimated cost (1024) the lower. 340 and 401 are the values for 2007 and 2008, which catch anyone who stops at the first or second year.
Siny=1 is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\( \sin y = 1 \) is non-linear, because the unknown sits inside a sine rather than appearing to the first power on its own.
A linear equation admits the unknown only as \( ay + b \); anything else - a power, a product of unknowns, or a transcendental function of the unknown - makes it non-linear:
\[ 3y + 2 = 0 \;\;\text{linear}, \qquad \sin y = 1,\; y^{2} = 4,\; e^{y} = 3 \;\;\text{non-linear} \]
The practical consequence is that superposition fails: two solutions of a non-linear equation cannot be added to give a third.
A, B and C start a business and their investments are in the ratio 4 : 3 : 6. Both A and B starts the business and C joins them after 6 months. It was decided that C will get a monthly salary of Rs 600 from the annual profits. C’s total salary came out to be 10% of the annual profit after a year. What is the share of B in the total profits?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
C’s monthly salary Rs 600.
Then annual salary =600*6=3600 (Because he work for 6 month only)
Rs 3600 is 10% of total profit.
Then total profit is Rs 36000.
Ratio of their shares 4*12 : 3*12 : 6*6 = 4:3:3
Profit left after reducing salary of C = 36,000 - 3,600 = 32,400
B’s share 3/10*32400 = Rs 9720.

We _______ just _______ the most extraordinary verdict today.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The answer is have, heard: 'We have just heard the most extraordinary verdict today.'
'Just' with a recent action, in the period 'today' that is still running, calls for the present perfect: have plus the past participle 'heard'.
'To hear' gives no finite verb, 'will hearing' mixes a modal with an -ing form, and 'can heard' puts a past participle after a modal, which needs the base form.

What did the narrator want to infer from the lines, 'Quelling occasional doubts, they had followed him on his improbable crusades to the improbable triumph now beckoning: independence wrested from the British by Gandhian non-violence'?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The followers overcame their doubts and followed him, and independence was wrested from the British by Gandhian non-violence. "Quelling" means putting down doubts, so they did follow him; options B and C reverse who snatched independence from whom, and C also says they did not follow him. Option D says independence was not snatched, which contradicts the line. The structure of the line is a participial phrase followed by the main clause: after quelling their doubts they followed him, and the triumph was independence wrested from the British, where wrested means taken by force or effort.

Conclusions:
I. The residents in these wards should economise on water on Friday.
II. The residents in these wards should store some water on the previous day.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: Both I and II follow
The notice warns of a known, dated, temporary shortfall - supply down by about half on Friday because the mains are being repaired. A warning issued in advance exists so that people can prepare.
- I - follows. Less water on the day means using it sparingly.
- II - follows. The shortage is announced beforehand, so storing water the previous day is the obvious preparation.

Computer Awareness [ Question No: 10 To 10 ] :
What is the name given to the process of initializing a microcomputer with its operating system?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Booting
Booting is the whole process of bringing a machine up: firmware in ROM runs first, tests the hardware, reads the boot sector from disk, and hands control to the operating system it loads. A cold boot starts from power-off and a warm boot restarts a machine already running, so both are kinds of booting.

Who is the Chairman of the Fifteenth Finance Commission of India ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The chairman was N. K. Singh.
The Fifteenth Finance Commission was constituted in November 2017 with Nand Kishore Singh, a former IAS officer and Rajya Sabha member, as its chairman. It recommended how central taxes should be shared with the states for 2020-21 and for 2021-26.
Anurag Thakur was then Minister of State for Finance, V.K. Singh a former Army Chief and Union minister, and 'R. Jain' was not its chairman.
Who started the Iqtadari system under Delhi Sultanate?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Iltutmish is the answer. The iqta system, in which land revenue assignments (iqtas) were granted to officers in return for military service, was organised on a large scale by Iltutmish in the Delhi Sultanate, and is credited to him in the textbooks. Qutub-ud-Din Aibak ruled before him for a short time and did not organise it, Muhammad bin Tughlaq is known for his token currency and the shift of the capital, and Ibrahim Lodi was the last Sultan, so none of them started the Iqtadari system.

Energy drives the ecosystem. Sunlight is captured by producers and passes along the food chain to consumers and decomposers, and at every transfer most of it is lost as heat.
This one-way flow is the essential difference from the cycling of matter: nutrients are used over and over, but energy must be constantly resupplied by the sun.

Saltation is transport by short, repeated hops: a grain is lifted briefly from the bed, carried a little way by the flow, then falls back, and its impact knocks other grains up in turn.
Suspension keeps particles aloft continuously, traction rolls them along the bed without leaving it, and solution carries them dissolved as ions.

Advertising creates brand loyalty.
It builds familiarity and preference for a particular name, so that buyers return to it rather than compare afresh each time. It cannot change the quality of the product or the purchasing capacity of the buyer - only the perception and the preference.
