Key Points

• In 1920, after Jalianwala Bagh Massacre he called for a campaign of non-cooperation with British Rule and joined hands with the Khilafat movement.
• He was of the opinion that coupling the non-cooperation with the Khilafat would result in Hindu-Muslim unity to end the colonial rule.
• The British Raj was shaken to its foundations for the first time since the Revolt of 1857.
• The non-cooperation movement was suspended in 1922 after the Chauri-Chaura incident where 22 policemen were killed by a violent crowd.
• The Swaraj party was formed by Indian politicians- – Motilal Nehru and Chittaranjan Das and other members of the Indian National Congress on 1 January 1923.
• In 1928, Gandhiji began to think of re-entering politics. After the failure of the Simon Commission, in its annual session at Lahore Congress demanded Purna Swaraj and decided to observe 26th January 1930 as Independence Day.
• In the Lahore Session of Congress held in December 1929, it was decided that now the struggle will be for complete independence and 26 Jan 1930 will be observed as independence day nationwide.
• In 1931, the  ‘Gandhi-Irwin Pact’ was signed by the terms of which civil disobedience was called off and all prisoners were released. This pact drew many criticisms because Gandhiji was unable to obtain a commitment to political independence for Indians from the Viceroy, he could obtain merely an assurance of talks.

The 2028 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad, and commonly known as Los Angeles 2028 or LA28, is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from July 14–30, 2028, in and around Los Angeles, California, United States.^[1]

The acceleration is related to the change in velocity, either in magnitude (speed), or direction.

• The direction of the car would continuously change when it is in a uniform circular motion.
• So, even if the speed is constant, there is an associated acceleration which is not zero, but a non-zero number.
• Again, acceleration is not a constant as the sharper the curve would be, the greater would be the acceleration.
• Hence, a car moving in a uniform circular motion will have a non-zero but not a constant acceleration.

12 January is celebrated as National Youth Day.

Indian-American Dr. Monisha Ghosh is the first Indian woman to become chief technology officer in the U.S federal communications commission. She took charge on January 13, 2020.

Plants receive the nutrients mainly from the soil through their roots and from the air (mainly consisting of nitrogen and oxygen) through their leaves. Transpiration is the main cause of this. Plants receive nutrients from the soil.

Given:

In Δ ABC, DE || BC

AD = 7 cm

AE = 3.5 cm

DB = 6 cm

Concept used:

Basic Proportionality Theorem - According to this rule, if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides as well, the line will always split the two sides in the same proportion, i.e., if DE || BC, then AD/DB = AE/EC.

Given,

18 litre of acid is mixed with 72 litre water.

8 litre acid and 9 litre water are added to the mixture.

The final mixture contains 40% of acid

Let, x litre of mixture is taken out.

Total mixture = 18 + 72

= 90

After taking out x litre = 90 - x

After adding 8 litre acid and 9 litre water into the mixture= 90 - x + 8 + 9 = (107 - x) litre

40% of acid in the final mixture

60% of water in the final mixture

In the x litre, the ratio of the acid to water is 18 : 72 = 1 : 4 

Then acid present in the final mixture

Then,
⇒ 130 - x = 214 - 2x
⇒ x = 84 
∴ The amount to be taken out is 84 litre.

Given,

sin θ + cos θ = 1

Squaring both sides, we get

sin² θ + cos² θ + 2 sin θ cos θ = 1

⇒ 1 + sin 2θ = 1   [Since 2 sin θ cos θ = sin 2θ]

⇒ sin 2θ = 0

Using sin² θ + cos² θ = 1, we can say

sin² 2θ + cos² 2θ = 1

⇒ 0 + cos² 2θ = 1

⇒ cos 2θ = ±1

Given,

Total number of students studying Science = 4700 

The percentage of students studying science from institute E = 11%

The percentage of students studying science from institute F = 9%

The total number of students studying Science in institutes F and E together = (11 + 9)% of 4700 

= 20% of 4700 

= 940

The HCF of a group of numbers will be always a factor of their LCM.

HCF is the product of all common prime factors using the least power of each common prime factor.

LCM is the product of the highest powers of all prime factors.

Clearly, the numbers are (23 × 13) and (23 × 14)

∴ Larger number = (23 × 14) = 322

Let the total number of students be x.

Total score of all students  = 57x

Score of top 20% students 

Score of last 25% students 

Let y be the mean of 55% students.

Total score of these students

The correct answer is "Assassination".

Key Points

• "Assassination" is correctly spelled with double "s" in both the initial and middle position, followed by the suffix "-ation".
• The term means the act of killing a prominent person for political or religious reasons.
  • For Example - The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered the start of World War I.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The correct answer is 'Credible'.

Key Points

• The word 'Credible' in English typically means believable or convincing. ('विश्वसनीय')
  • Example: "The story he told was hardly credible, yet everyone seemed to believe him."
• In the given sentence, 'Credible' is the best fit because it refers to the believability or realism of cartoons, which children may overlook and still find them interesting.
• Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Additional Information

• 'Creditable' refers to something deserving recognition or honor, or that reflects well upon the individual responsible for it. ('प्रशंसनीय'). But this term doesn't fit in this context as it doesn't discuss the believability of cartoons.
• 'Credulous' means being too ready to believe things. The person is gullible or easily convinced. ('भोला-भाला') or ('विश्वासवानी') 
• 'Credential' is usually a document or certificate that proves a person's qualifications or background. ('प्रमाणपत्र')

The correct answer is- ' are not a long distance' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

In the given sentence, the verb 'are' is incorrectly used.

We know that when a plural noun denotes a specific quantity, distance, time, or amount considered as a whole, the verb is singular.

• Example: Five gallons of milk is required.​

​To make the sentence correct, replace the verb 'are' with 'is.'

Thus the correct sentence is- Five miles in the forest is not a long distance for the young cadets.

The given sentence is,

The priest said, "December is the last month of the year".

The original sentence is in 'direct speech' and this needs to be converted to 'indirect speech'.

• In affirmative sentences, the Reporting verb 'said' in 'direct sentence' is written as it is in 'indirect sentence' i.e. 'said' in indirect speech. 
• 'that' is written in place of 'inverted commas'.
• In the case of universal truth/ general fact/ accepted beliefs, the tense in indirect speech is the same as that of direct speech.

The correct sentence is: The priest said that December is the last month of the year.

The correct one word substitution of given sentence is fable.

Fable means a short story, typically with animals as characters, conveying a moral.

Structure of indirect speech in the case of interrogative sentences:

(a) Reporting verb is changed into ask or enquire of.

(b) If or whether is used as a linking word.

(c) The auxiliary verb in the reported speech is used after the subject.

(d) If the sentence begins with who, which, what, how, when, where, why etc. these are not changed and if or whether is not used.

Therefore, the correct conversion will be as: 

Saagar asked Supriya how she had solved that problem.

Mantra means a sacred message or text, charm, spell, counsel. Shortcut means an alternative route that is shorter than the one usually taken. Hymn means a religious song or poem of praise to God or a god. Melody means a tune.

The passage is about "yoga". Hence, the words "hymn" and "melody" are incorrect in reference to "yoga". Yoga is also not a shortcut as it is a daily practice and there is no shortcut for it. Thus, the correct word is "mantra".

Feeling at ease means freedom from concern, anxiety, or solicitude and a quiet state of mind. Lazy means we're unwilling to work or use energy. Carefree means free from anxiety. Spontaneous means are quick in action.

Yoga does not make you lazy; neither it makes someone carefree. Hence, options A and B are incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as it cannot be used in the context of yoga.

Enhances means intensify, increase, or further improve the quality, value, or extent of. 

Booms means a loud, deep, resonant sound. 

Facilitate means to make something possible or easier. 

Speeds up mean increasing the speed of something.

Awareness is something that is increased by doing yoga daily.

Therefore, the correct verb to be used in the sentence is "enhances".
