Additional Information

The correct answer is option 1.

Key Points

• To answer this question, first, let's carefully examine the passage:
• The passage discusses the perception of Indian textiles and garments in the classical Greek and Roman world. It highlights the high value placed on Indian textiles, such as saffron and indigo, as well as silk. These textiles were considered luxurious commodities, with silk in particular being associated with extravagance and decadence. The passage also mentions instances where individuals, such as Cleopatra and the Roman emperor Elagabalus, were noted for their use of foreign textiles, which sometimes led to negative perceptions regarding their morals or adherence to traditional Roman customs.
• Now, let's evaluate the options:
• Option 1: Indian textiles and garments were highly valued for their quality and richness, symbolizing luxury and status.
  • This option aligns with the information provided in the passage. It accurately reflects the perception of Indian textiles and garments as valuable commodities associated with luxury and status, as indicated by references to saffron, indigo, and silk. Thus, this is the correct answer.
• Option 2: Indian textiles were considered inferior and were rarely imported into the classical Greek and Roman world.
• This option contradicts the passage, which emphasizes the high value and significance of Indian textiles and garments in the classical Greek and Roman world. There is no indication in the passage that Indian textiles were considered inferior or rarely imported. Thus, this can not be the answer.
• Option 3: The use of Indian textiles and garments was strictly regulated by laws and edicts to prevent decadence.
  • There is no mention in the passage of strict regulation of Indian textiles and garments through laws and edicts. While there is a reference to Diocletian's Edict of Maximum Prices, which mentions the cost of raw silk, this does not imply strict regulation aimed at preventing decadence specifically related to Indian textiles. Thus, this can not be the answer.
• Option 4: Indian textiles were primarily associated with moral corruption and anti-Roman sentiment.
  • Although the passage mentions negative perceptions of extravagance and decadence associated with silk, there is no indication that Indian textiles were primarily associated with moral corruption and anti-Roman sentiment. Such associations are not explicitly mentioned in the passage. Thus, this can not be the answer.
• After carefully analyzing the passage and the options provided, it is evident that option 1 accurately reflects the perception of Indian textiles and garments in the classical Greek and Roman world. 
• Therefore, the correct answer is "Indian textiles and garments were highly valued for their quality and richness, symbolizing luxury and status."

The correct answer is option 4.

Key Points

• To answer this question, let's first carefully examine the passage and understand its main points:
• The passage discusses the marginalization of Indian street dogs during colonial India. It highlights how the term "stray" was introduced by the British colonial authorities, which further stigmatized these dogs by portraying them as creatures who had wandered away from their rightful place within human dwellings. This term differentiated them from the pet dogs brought by the British, positioning them as fundamentally illegitimate. Colonial authorities, influenced by newspapers, enacted legislation that subjected free-living dogs to impoundment and slaughter, employing various methods such as poisoning, shooting by police, or clubbing, often carried out by caste-oppressed men. Despite opposition from some British individuals and Indians, these measures were enforced throughout colonial India.
• Now, let's evaluate the options:
• Option 1: By being viewed as inferior to the pet dogs brought by the British, leading to discriminatory treatment and legislation.
  • This option accurately reflects the marginalization experienced by Indian street dogs, as they were considered inferior to the pet dogs of the British and were subjected to discriminatory treatment and legislation. Thus, this option aligns with the information presented in the passage.
• Option 2: By facing increased restrictions on their movement and behaviour, enforced by British colonial authorities.
  • While restrictions on movement and behaviour are implied through the introduction of legislation and impoundment, the passage primarily focuses on the branding and discriminatory treatment of Indian street dogs rather than specific restrictions on their movement and behaviour. Thus, this option does not fully capture the essence of the marginalization of Indian street dogs as presented in the passage.
• Option 3: By being targeted for extermination through various methods sanctioned by municipal authorities.
  • This option accurately describes one aspect of the marginalization experienced by Indian street dogs, as they were indeed targeted for extermination through methods such as impoundment and slaughter. Thus, this option aligns with the information presented in the passage.
• Option 4: By being labelled as "illegitimate" through the introduction of the term "stray" into Indian law by the British.
  • This option accurately captures the essence of how Indian street dogs were further marginalized during colonial India. The introduction of the term "stray" into Indian law served to delegitimize these dogs and brand them as illegitimate, contributing to their marginalization. Thus, this option aligns with the information presented in the passage.
• So, after carefully considering each option and comparing them to the information provided in the passage, it can be concluded that options 1, 3, and 4 accurately summarize how Indian street dogs were further marginalized during colonial India. However, option 4 specifically addresses the introduction of the term "stray" into Indian law by the British, which is a crucial aspect emphasized in the passage.
• Therefore, the correct answer is "By being labelled as "illegitimate" through the introduction of the term "stray" into Indian law by the British."

Given:
The SP of an article = Rs. 450

Gain = 25%

Discount =  

Formula used:

MP = [(100 + Gain%)/(100 – Discount%) × CP]

Calculation:
CP = 450 × 100/125 = 360
SP after discount:
⇒ 450 × 5/6 = 375
Gain% = (375 - 360)/360 × 100 = 4.17%
The answer is 4.17%.
