Who among the following led the forest revolt in Bastar?
[2011 (T-2)]
  • a)
    Siddhu
  • b)
    Birsa Munda
  • c)
    Kanu
  • d)
    Gunda Dhur
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
Gunda Dhur was an important leader of the rebellion. 
In 1905, the colonial government imposed laws to reserve two-thirds of the forests, stop shifting cultivation, hunting and collection of forest produce. People of many villages were displaced without any notice or compensation. For long, villagers had been suffering from increased land rents and frequent demands for free labour and goods by colonial officials. The terrible famines in 1899–1900 and again in 1907–1908 made the life of people miserable. They blamed the colonial rule for their sorry plight. The initiative of rebellion was taken by the Dhurwas of the Kanger forest, where reservation first took place.

'Forest' is related to 'Vivarium' in the same way as 'sea' is related to:
  • a)
    Port site
  • b)
    Water
  • c)
    Fishery
  • d)
    Aquarium
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Navya Reddy answered
Forest and Vivarium:
A forest is a large area covered with trees, plants, and vegetation. It is a natural habitat for various species of animals, birds, and insects. A vivarium, on the other hand, is an enclosed space or container that is specifically designed to replicate the natural environment of plants and animals. It is used for research, observation, and display purposes. Vivariums can be found in zoos, botanical gardens, and scientific institutions.

Similarities:
- Both forests and vivariums are environments that provide a suitable habitat for living organisms.
- They both aim to replicate natural ecosystems, although vivariums do so in a more controlled and artificial manner.

Differences:
- Forests are large, naturally occurring areas, whereas vivariums are man-made and typically smaller in size.
- Forests are usually open and accessible, while vivariums are enclosed and restricted to a specific space.
- Forests are home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, while vivariums may focus on specific species or ecosystems.
- Forests are subject to natural processes and changes, while vivariums can be manipulated to maintain a stable environment.

Relation to Sea:
Based on the given analogy, the relationship between the forest and vivarium can be applied to the sea and aquarium. Let's explore this relationship further:

Sea:
The sea is a large body of saltwater that covers a significant portion of the Earth's surface. It is home to countless marine organisms, including fish, whales, dolphins, coral reefs, and many more. The sea provides a natural habitat for these organisms and supports a complex ecosystem.

Aquarium:
An aquarium is a man-made container or enclosure that replicates the aquatic environment found in the sea. It is designed to house and display various marine organisms, such as fish, corals, and invertebrates. Aquariums can be found in homes, public places, and aquarium facilities.

Similarities:
- Both the sea and aquarium provide a suitable habitat for marine organisms.
- They aim to replicate the natural aquatic environment, although aquariums do so in a controlled and artificial manner.

Differences:
- The sea is vast and covers a large area, while aquariums are limited in size and confined to a specific space.
- The sea is subject to natural processes and changes, while aquariums can be manipulated to maintain a stable environment.
- The sea supports a diverse range of marine life, while aquariums may focus on specific species or ecosystems.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the relationship between forest and vivarium can be extended to sea and aquarium. Just as a vivarium replicates the natural environment of a forest, an aquarium replicates the aquatic environment of the sea. Both vivariums and aquariums serve as controlled spaces where specific ecosystems can be observed, studied, and enjoyed.

Question -
8 : 28 :: 27 : ?
  • a)
    28
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    64
  • d)
    65
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Nandini Singh answered
First number = 8 and the sum of the digits of the second number is 2 + 8 = 10.
Thus the difference of the first number and the sum of the digits of second number is 10 - 8 = 2.
Similarly, the sum of the digits of third number is 2 + 7 = 9.
Hence the sum of digits of fourth number should be 2 more than 9 i.e. 11
Hence, fourth number is 65.

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

Arun Sharma answered
Propaganda films were made to create hatred for Jews. The most infamous film was The Eternal Jew. Orthodox Jews were stereotyped and marked. They were shown with flowing beards wearing kaftans. They were referred to as vermin, rats, and pests. Their movements were compared to those of rodents. Orthodox Jews were stereotyped as killers of Christ and moneylenders. Stereotypes about Jews were popularised even through Maths classes. Children were taught to hate the Jews. The Nazi propaganda against the Jews was so effective that people felt anger and hatred surge inside them when they saw someone who looked like a Jew.

Question -
144 : 10 :: 169 : ?
  • a)
    14
  • b)
    11
  • c)
    13
  • d)
    12
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sanaya Sharma answered
Sure, let's find the correct answer for the given problem.

144 : 10 :: 169 : ?

- 144 is a perfect square (12²) and its square root is 12.
- 12 is then reduced to 10 by subtracting 2 (12 - 2 = 10).
- Similarly, 169 is a perfect square (13²) and its square root is 13.
- Following the same pattern, subtract 2 from 13 (13 - 2 = 11).

Thus, the correct answer is:

B: 11

- 169 : 11

'Smoke' is related to 'Pollution' in the same way as 'War' is related to:
  • a)
    Victory
  • b)
    Treaty
  • c)
    Defeat
  • d)
    Destruction
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Introduction:
The question asks us to identify the relationship between 'War' and another word, similar to the relationship between 'Smoke' and 'Pollution'. To find the correct answer, we need to understand the connection between the given words and determine which option best reflects that relationship.

Understanding the Relationship:
To identify the relationship between 'Smoke' and 'Pollution', we can analyze the cause and effect relationship between the two words. Smoke is a byproduct of certain activities such as burning, and it is a major contributor to air pollution. Therefore, the relationship between 'Smoke' and 'Pollution' is that smoke causes pollution.

Applying the Same Relationship:
Now, let's apply the same cause and effect relationship to the word 'War'. War is a conflict between nations or groups that involves violence and destruction. Based on this understanding, we need to find an option that represents the effect or consequence of war.

Options Analysis:
a) Victory: While victory can be a result of war, it does not represent the relationship between war and another word in the same cause and effect manner as 'Smoke' and 'Pollution'.

b) Treaty: A treaty is an agreement or contract made between nations to resolve conflicts peacefully and avoid war. Although a treaty can be a result of war, it does not reflect the cause and effect relationship between war and another word.

c) Defeat: Defeat can be an outcome of war, but it does not represent the cause and effect relationship we are looking for.

d) Destruction: Destruction accurately reflects the relationship between war and another word. War often leads to severe destruction of infrastructure, cities, and lives. Similar to how smoke causes pollution, war causes destruction.

Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is option 'D' - 'Destruction'. War is related to destruction in the same way as smoke is related to pollution because war causes destruction, just as smoke causes pollution.

Kaavya Nair answered
Solution:

To solve this question, we need to analyze the relationship between the words "Silence" and "Noise" and find the pair that exhibits a similar relationship.

1. Understanding the Relationship:
The word "Silence" is the opposite or absence of the word "Noise." Silence refers to the absence of any sound or noise, while noise refers to any unwanted or unpleasant sound.

2. Analyzing the Options:
Let's analyze each option and see if they exhibit a similar relationship.

a) Quiet : Peace
The words "Quiet" and "Peace" do not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence" and "Noise." Quiet refers to a low volume or lack of sound, while peace refers to a state of tranquility or absence of conflict.

b) Baldness : Hair
The words "Baldness" and "Hair" do not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence" and "Noise." Baldness refers to the absence of hair, while hair refers to the strands that grow on the head or body.

c) Talk : Whisper
The words "Talk" and "Whisper" do not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence" and "Noise." Talk refers to speaking in a normal volume, while whisper refers to speaking in a soft, hushed tone.

d) Sing : Dance
The words "Sing" and "Dance" do not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence" and "Noise." Singing refers to producing musical sounds with the voice, while dancing refers to moving rhythmically to music.

3. Conclusion:
After analyzing all the options, we can see that the pair "Baldness : Hair" does not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence : Noise." Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - "Quiet : Peace." Although not a perfect match, "Quiet" and "Peace" both refer to a state of calmness or absence of disturbance, which is similar to the relationship between "Silence" and "Noise."

Final Answer:
The pair that best illustrates a similar relationship as "Silence : Noise" is "Quiet : Peace" (option 'A').

To find the missing pair, we need to analyze the relationship between the letters and their ratios. Here, we can observe that the numerator and denominator of the ratio are the positions of the letters in the English alphabet.

- K is the 11th letter and T is the 20th letter.
- The ratio of their positions is 11/20.

Now, let's analyze the given options:

a) 10/18
b) 11/19
c) 10/8
d) 9/10

We need to find the pair of letters that follows the same pattern as the given pair.

Option A: 10/18

- The 10th letter is 'J' and the 18th letter is 'R'.
- The ratio of their positions is 10/18.

Option B: 11/19

- The 11th letter is 'J' and the 19th letter is 'S'.
- The ratio of their positions is 11/19.

Option C: 10/8

- The 10th letter is 'J' and the 8th letter is 'H'.
- The ratio of their positions is 10/8.

Option D: 9/10

- The 9th letter is 'I' and the 10th letter is 'J'.
- The ratio of their positions is 9/10.

Conclusion:
By analyzing the given options, we can see that the pair of letters 'J' and 'R' with the ratio 10/18 from option A follows the same pattern as the given pair 'K/T : 11/20'. Therefore, the correct answer is option A) 10/18.

Question -
Architect : Building :: Sculptor : ?
  • a)
    Museum
  • b)
    Stone
  • c)
    Chisel
  • d)
    Statue
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Aryan Goyal answered
Understanding the Relationship
In the analogy "Architect : Building," we need to understand the relationship between the two words. An architect is a professional who designs and plans buildings. Therefore, the architect is directly associated with the creation of buildings.

Identifying the Second Pair
Now, we need to find a suitable counterpart for "Sculptor." A sculptor is an artist who creates three-dimensional works of art, typically by shaping materials like stone, metal, or clay.

Evaluating the Options
Let’s analyze the provided options:
  • a) Museum: This is a place where art is displayed, but it does not represent the product of a sculptor's work.
  • b) Stone: While stone is a material used by sculptors, it is not the final product or creation, making it an unsuitable answer.
  • c) Chisel: A tool used by sculptors, but again, it does not represent their final artistic output.
  • d) Statue: This is a direct creation of a sculptor, similar to how a building is the creation of an architect.



Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'D' (Statue) because it represents the final product of a sculptor's work, just as a building represents the final product of an architect’s work. This maintains the same professional-to-creation relationship established in the first part of the analogy.

Similarity Between Liquid : Gaseousness and Serum : Fume
Liquid and gaseousness are related in the sense that the former is a state of matter that can transition into the latter. Similarly, serum and fume are related in terms of their states and properties.

Explanation:

Liquid : Gaseousness
- Liquid is a state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
- Gaseousness refers to the state of matter where particles are not confined and move freely.

Serum : Fume
- Serum is a component of blood that is clear, yellowish fluid separated from blood clots.
- Fume is a type of vapor or smoke that is produced through combustion or chemical reactions.

Comparison:
- Both liquid and serum are substances that exist in a specific state.
- Gaseousness and fume are related to the transition of matter into a more dispersed state.

Conclusion:
The relationship between liquid : gaseousness is similar to serum : fume as they both involve substances transitioning into a different state or form.
