Ashutosh Gupta answered  •  4 days ago
Introduction
The plan involving an all-India insurrection during World War I is commonly known as the Ghadar Conspiracy. The Ghadar Movement was a significant attempt by Indian expatriates, particularly in North America, to liberate India from British rule.
Ghadar Conspiracy: Key Details
  • Origin: The Ghadar Movement began in 1913, primarily among I... more
  • Objective: The main goal was to incite a rebellion against British rule in India, leveraging the chaos of World War I to gather support and resources.
  • Leadership: Key leaders included Lala Hardayal, Bhagat Singh Thind, and others who aimed to mobilize Indian soldiers and civilians to rise against the British.
  • Execution Plan: The conspirators planned to coordinate uprisings across India, with the hope of receiving support from the German government, which was then at war with Britain.
  • Failure: The conspiracy ultimately failed due to a lack of adequate planning, betrayal, and the British intelligence's countermeasures.

Impact on Indian Independence Movement
  • Inspiration: Although the Ghadar Conspiracy did not succeed, it inspired future generations of revolutionaries and played a pivotal role in the broader Indian independence movement.
  • Legacy: Many Ghadar activists were arrested, and their trials brought significant attention to the cause of Indian independence from colonial rule.

In summary, the Ghadar Conspiracy was a crucial event that aimed to incite a nationwide insurrection during World War I, marking a significant chapter in India's struggle for freedom.

In the context of marine biodiversity, whichof the following are phytoplankton?

2. Dinoflagellates
3. Crustaceans
4. Coccolithophores
5. Foraminifera

  • a)
    1, 2 and 4 only
  • b)

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

  • Phytoplankton, also known as microalgae, are similar to terrestrial plants in that they contain chlorophyll and require sunlight in order to live and grow. Most phytoplankton are buoyant and float in the upper part of the ocean, where sunlight penetrates the water.
    • Phytoplankton also require inorganic nutrients such as nitrates, phosphates, and sulfur which they convert into pro... more
  • The two main classes of phytoplankton are dinoflagellates and diatoms. Dinoflagellates use a whip-like tail, or flagella, to move through the water and their bodies are covered with complex shells. Diatoms also have shells, but they are made of a different substance and their structure is rigid and made of interlocking parts.
    • Diatoms do not rely on flagella to move through the water and instead rely on ocean currents to travel through the water.
  • Coccolithophores are also a group of phytoplankton that live in large numbers throughout the upper layers of the ocean. Coccolithophores surround themselves with a microscopic plating made of limestone (calcite).
  • Crustaceans include all the animals of the phylum Arthropoda. Crustaceans are a very diverse group of invertebrate animals that includes active animals such as crabs, lobsters, shrimp, krill, copepods, amphipods, and more sessile creatures like barnacles. Arthropoda is the largest phylum of Animal Kingdom.
  • Foraminifera represents an ancient species of zooplankton that live mostly in sediment but also in the water column. They belong to the kingdom Protista.
  • Phytoplankton varies seasonally in amount, increasing in spring and fall with favourable light, temperature, and minerals.
  • Hence option (a) is the correct answer.

निम्नलिखित जोड़ों पर विचार करें:

2. श्रमिक और कारीगर - उच्च कराधान और गरीबी का सामना किया
3. किसान - बेरोजगारी और उच्च कीमतें

  • d)

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev UPSC answered
1. उद्योग - कीमतों में वृद्धि और प्रथम विश्व युद्ध के बाद मंदी: सही। उद्योग ने कीमतों में वृद्धि का सामना किया, जिसके बाद मंदी और विदेशी निवेश में वृद्धि हुई, जिसने कई उद्योगों को बंद होने और नुकसान के कगार पर ला दिया।
2. श्रमिक और कारीगर - उच्च कराधान और गरीबी का सामना किया: गलत। श्रमिकों और कारीगरों को बेरोजगारी का सामना करना पड़ा और उन्होंने उच्च कीमतों का बोझ उठाया, न कि उच्च कराधान और गरीबी।
3. किसान - बेरोजगारी और उच्च कीमतें: गलत। किसानों ने उच्च कराधान और गरीबी का सामना किया, न कि बेरोजगारी और उच्च कीमतों।
4. सैनिक - ब्रिटिशों के दृष्टिकोण में नस्लवाद के प्रति जागरूकता: गलत। जो सैनिक युद्धभूमियों से लौटे, उन्होंने ग्रामीण लोगों के साथ अपने अनुभव साझा किए, न कि विशेष रूप से ब्रिटिशों के दृष्टिकोण में नस्लवाद के प्रति जागरूकता।
इस प्रकार, केवल एक जोड़ा (जोड़ा 1) सही ढंग से मेल खाता है।

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

1. Right to Education Act (RTE): Mandates free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years.
This pair is correctly matched. The Right to Education Act ensures free and compulsory education for children in the specified age group, promoting inclusivity and literacy among economically disadvantaged groups.
2. Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY): Provides health insurance coverage of up to ₹5 lakh per family annually to vulnerable groups.
This pair is correctly matched. AB-PMJAY is a health insurance scheme that offers coverage of up to ₹5 lakh per family per year, aimed at providing financial protection against medical expenses to vulnerable sections of society.
3. Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN): Provides old-age pension for small and marginal farmers.
This pair is incorrectly matched. PM-KISAN provides direct income support of ₹6,000 per year to farmers, not an old-age pension. The scheme aims to supplement financial needs for procurement of various inputs.
4. National Agriculture Market (e-NAM): A digital platform for direct income support to farmers.
This pair is incorrectly matched. e-NAM is an online trading platform for agricultural commodities in India. It is designed to create a unified national market for agricultural produce, not for direct income support.
Pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, making Option B the correct answer.

Out of 60 families living in a building, all those families which own a car own a scooter as well. No family has just a scooter and a bike. 16 families have both a car and a bike. Every family owns at least one type of vehicle and the number of families that own exactly one type of vehicle is more than the number of families that own more than one type of vehicle. What is the sum of the maximum and minimum number of families that own only a bike?

  • b)
    34
  • c)
    54
  • d)
    44
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

From the information given in the question, the following Venn Diagram can be constructed:

So, in order to maximize the number of families that own only a bike, we can put the remaining 44 families in ‘only bike’ region.
Similarly, in order to minimize the number of families that own only a bike, we can put the remaining 44 families in ‘only scooter’ region.
So, the maximum number of families that own only a bike is 44 and the minimum number of families that own only a bike is 0.
So, sum = 44 + 0 = 44

Let's evaluate each statement for its correctness:
Statement 1: The Sensex is indeed a benchmark index on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that consists of 30 of the largest and most actively traded stocks, reflecting a diverse range of sectors such as finance, IT, and manufacturing. This statement is correct.
Statement 2: The Nifty 50 is a benchmark index on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) that includes 50 large-cap companies across 14 sectors, offering a broader representation of the market compared to the Sensex. This statement is correct.
Statement 3: The Nifty 50 was launched in 1996, and the Sensex was indeed established earlier, in 1986. This statement accurately reflects the timeline of the indices' establishment. Therefore, this statement is correct.
Based on the evaluation, all three statements are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.
