The Ganga plain extends between Ghaggar and Teesta rivers. It is spread over the states of North India, Haryana, Delhi, U.P., Bihar, partly Jharkhand and West Bengal to its East, particularly in Assam lies the Brahmaputra plain. The northern plains are generally described as flat land with no variations in its relief. It is not true. These vast plains also have diverse relief features. According to the variations in relief features, the Northern plains can be divided into four regions. The rivers, after descending from the mountains, deposit pebbles in a narrow belt of about 8 to 16 km in width lying parallel to the slopes of the Shiwaliks. It is known as bhabar. All the streams disappear in this bhabar belt. South of this belt, the streams and rivers reemerge and create a wet, swampy and marshy
region known as terai. This was a thickly forested region full of wildlife. The forests have been cleared to create agricultural land and to settle migrants from Pakistan after partition. Dudhwa National Park is in this region.
Q. The northern plains are generally described as:

Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow:China’s famine of 1958–1961 was the worst recorded famine in world history. Nearly, three crore people died in this famine. During those days, India’s economic condition was not much better than China. Yet, India did not have a famine of the kind China had. Economists think that this was a result of different government policies in the two countries. The existence of democracy in India made the Indian Government respond to food scarcity in a way that the Chinese government did not. They point out that no large-scale famine has ever taken place in an independent and democratic country. If China too had multiparty elections, an opposition party and a press free to criticise the government, then so many people may not have died in the famine. This example brings out one of the reasons why democracy is considered the best form of government. Democracy is better than any other form of government in responding to the needs of the people. A non-democratic government may and can respond to the people’s needs, but it all depends on the wishes of the people who rule. If the rulers don’t want to, they don’t have to act according to the wishes of the people. A democracy requires that the rulers have to attend to the needs of the people. A democratic government is a better government because it is a more accountable form of government.Q. When did the worst famine strike China?- a)1955–1958

Read the source given below and answer the following questions:The Constitution does not say very much about the powers of the Prime Minister or the ministers or their relationship with each other. But as head of the government, the Prime Minister has wide ranging powers. He chairs Cabinet meetings. He coordinates the work of different departments. His decisions are final in case disagreements arise between departments. He exercises general supervision of different ministries. All ministers work under his leadership. The Prime Minister distributes and redistributes work to the ministers. He also has the power to dismiss ministers. When the Prime Minister quits, the entire ministry quits. Thus, if the Cabinet is the most powerful institution in India, within the Cabinet it is the Prime Minister who is the most powerful. The powers of the Prime Minister in all parliamentary democracies of the world have increased so much in recent decades that parliamentary democracies are sometimes seen as the Prime Ministerial form of government. As political parties have come to play a major role in politics, the Prime Minister controls the Cabinet and Parliament through the party. The media also contributes to this trend by making politics and elections as a competition between top leaders of parties. In India too we have seen such a tendency towards the concentration of powers in the hands of the Prime Minister. Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, exercised enormous authority because he had great influence over the public. Indira Gandhi was also a very powerful leader compared to her colleagues in the Cabinet. Of course, the extent of power wielded by a Prime Minister also depends on the personality of the person holding that position.Q. When the Prime Minister quits, who quits along with him/her?- a)No Minister quits with him/her
- b)The entire Ministry quits
- c)Only 50% of the Minister quits

Reason (R) : Small farmers along with their families cultivate their own fields. Thus, they provide the labour required for farming themselves
The correct answer is option 'D'.
Explanation:
The assertion states that small plots of lands are cultivated by medium and large farmers, while more than half the area of the village is covered by plots that are quite large in size, cultivated by small farmers. This means that small farmers, despite having small plots of land, are able to cultivate a significant portion of the village's area.
The reason states that small farmers along with their families cultivate their own fields and provide the labor required for farming themselves. This implies that small farmers do not rely on hired labor or machinery for their farming activities.
Analysis of A and R:
Let's analyze the assertion and the reason to determine their validity and the relationship between them:
Assertion (A): Small plots of lands are cultivated by medium and large farmers. On the other hand, more than half the area of the village is covered by plots that are quite large in size, cultivated by small farmers.
This statement suggests that there is a distribution of land sizes among farmers in the village. Medium and large farmers cultivate small plots of land, while small farmers cultivate large plots of land. This assertion highlights the fact that small farmers are able to cultivate a significant area of the village despite having small plots of land.
Reason (R): Small farmers along with their families cultivate their own fields. Thus, they provide the labor required for farming themselves.
This statement provides a possible explanation for the assertion. It suggests that small farmers cultivate their own fields and do not rely on external labor or machinery for farming. This self-sufficiency in labor allows them to efficiently cultivate larger plots of land.
Relationship between A and R:
The reason (R) provides a logical explanation for how small farmers are able to cultivate large plots of land despite having small plots themselves. By relying on their own labor, small farmers are able to efficiently utilize their resources and cultivate a larger area. Therefore, the reason (R) supports the assertion (A) and explains why small farmers are able to cultivate a significant portion of the village's area.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason (R) is the correct explanation of the assertion (A). Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.
Reason (R) : Small farmers along with their families cultivate their own fields. Thus, they provide the labour required for farming themselves
The correct answer is option 'D'.
Explanation:
The assertion states that small plots of lands are cultivated by medium and large farmers, while more than half the area of the village is covered by plots that are quite large in size, cultivated by small farmers. This means that small farmers, despite having small plots of land, are able to cultivate a significant portion of the village's area.
The reason states that small farmers along with their families cultivate their own fields and provide the labor required for farming themselves. This implies that small farmers do not rely on hired labor or machinery for their farming activities.
Analysis of A and R:
Let's analyze the assertion and the reason to determine their validity and the relationship between them:

This statement provides a possible explanation for the assertion. It suggests that small farmers cultivate their own fields and do not rely on external labor or machinery for farming. This self-sufficiency in labor allows them to efficiently cultivate larger plots of land.
Relationship between A and R:
The reason (R) provides a logical explanation for how small farmers are able to cultivate large plots of land despite having small plots themselves. By relying on their own labor, small farmers are able to efficiently utilize their resources and cultivate a larger area. Therefore, the reason (R) supports the assertion (A) and explains why small farmers are able to cultivate a significant portion of the village's area.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason (R) is the correct explanation of the assertion (A). Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.

Read the source given below and answer the following questions :
The revolutionary wars brought losses and economic difficulties to the people. While the men were away fighting at the front, women were left to cope with the tasks of earning a living and looking after their families. Large sections of the population were convinced that the revolution had to be carried further, as the Constitution of 1791 gave political rights only to the richer sections of society. Political clubs became an important rallying point for people who wished to discuss government policies and plan their own forms of action. The most successful of these clubs was that of the Jacobins, which got its name from the former convent of St Jacob in Paris. Women too, who had been
active throughout this period, formed their own clubs.
The members of the Jacobin club belonged mainly to the less prosperous sections of society. They included small shopkeepers, artisans such as shoemakers, pastry cooks, watchmakers, printers, as well as servants and daily wage workers. Their leader was Maximilian Robespierre. A large group among the Jacobins decided to start wearing long striped trousers similar to those worn by dock workers. This was to set themselves apart from the fashionable sections of society, especially nobles, who wore knee breeches.

All countries that have constitutions are not necessarily democratic. But all countries that are democratic will have constitutions. After the War of Independence against Great Britain, the Americans gave themselves a constitution. After the Revolution, the French people approved a democratic constitution. Since then it has become a practice in all democracies to have a written constitution.

Unemployment leads to wastage of manpower resources. People who are an asset for the economy turn into a liability. There is a feeling of hopelessness and despair among the youth. People do not have enough money to support their family. Inability of educated people who are willing to work to find gainful employment implies a great social waste.

Apartheid (“apartness” in the language of Afrikaans) was a system of legislation that upheld segregationist policies against non-white citizens of South Africa. After the National Party gained power in South Africa in 1948, its all-white government immediately began enforcing existing policies of racial segregation.

25 percent

Dhruv Banerjee answered |
Explanation:
Real wages decline by 20 percent:
- In the year 1904, the prices of essential goods rose rapidly in Russia.
- As a result, the real wages of Russian workers declined by 20 percent.
- This means that the purchasing power of workers decreased significantly during this time.
Impact on Russian workers:
- The decline in real wages put a financial strain on Russian workers and their families.
- It resulted in a decrease in their standard of living and made it difficult for them to afford basic necessities.
Causes of decline:
- The main reason for the decline in real wages was the rapid increase in the prices of essential goods.
- This inflationary trend made it challenging for workers to make ends meet with their existing wages.
Consequences:
- The decline in real wages played a significant role in triggering the 1905 Revolution in Russia.
- It led to widespread discontent among the working class and fueled demands for better working conditions, higher wages, and shorter working hours.
Conclusion:
- The 20 percent decline in real wages in 1904 had a profound impact on Russian workers, contributing to their dissatisfaction and eventual participation in the revolutionary movements of the time.

(3) The Economic Depression occurs in the USA.
Explanation:
Adolf Hitler was born in Austria:
Adolf Hitler, the future dictator of Germany, was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on April 20, 1889.
Establishment of the Weimar Republic:
After the end of World War I, the German Empire was replaced by the Weimar Republic. The Weimar Republic was established on August 11, 1919, following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.
Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles:
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. It was a peace treaty that officially ended World War I. As part of the treaty, Germany was held responsible for the war and was subjected to severe economic and territorial penalties.
The Economic Depression occurs in the USA:
The Great Depression, an economic crisis that affected many countries around the world, including Germany, began in the United States in October 1929. It was characterized by a severe decline in economic activity, high unemployment rates, and financial instability.
In summary, Adolf Hitler was born before any of the other events took place. The Weimar Republic was established after World War I, and Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles as part of the peace settlement. The Great Depression occurred several years later in the United States. Therefore, the correct chronological order is 4-2-1-3.
