Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Outbreak (noun): a sudden occurrence of something unwelcome, such as war or disease.

Explode (verb): arise or develop suddenly.

Eruption (noun): the act of starting suddenly and violently.

Commencement (noun): the beginning of something.

Inception (noun): the establishment or starting point of an institution or activity.

The use of ‘commencement’ and ‘inception’ is contextually absurd while verb ‘explode’ is also wrong as we need only a noun after ‘weather’. Now, between ‘eruption’ and ‘outbreak’, ‘weather outbreak’ makes an apt noun phrase as per the context. Thus, ‘outbreak’ is a better choice.

Hence, option A is correct.

Between 5 and 78:
First number = 6
Last number = 72

• Maharaja Agrasen was a Vaish King of the Solar Dynasty who adopted Vanika Dharma for the benefit of his people.
  • Literally, Agrawal means the “Children of Agrasen” or the “People of Agroha”, a city in ancient Kuru Panchala, near Hisar in the Haryana region said to be founded by Maharaja Agrasen.

Let total work be LCM of (90, 60) = 180 unit
Ratio of number of days by Sarthak and Deepak = 90 : 60 = 3 : 2
Ratio of efficiency of Sarthak and Deepak = 2 : 3
Total unit in one day = 2 + 3 = 5 unit
Number of days taken = 180/5 = 36 days 
Hence, Option B is correct.

Two numbers are in the ratio 7 : 9. If the sum of the numbers is 112, then the larger number is:

First, let's find the total parts in the ratio (7 + 9 = 16 parts).
Since the sum of the numbers is 112 and there are 16 parts in total, each part represents 
112/16=7
So, the larger number (which has 9 parts) is 
9x7=63
Therefore, the answer is (c) 63.

From Statement I:

From this statement, we get that Madhavi joined the office on 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th November.

Clearly, data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II:

From this statement, we get that Madhavi joined the office on 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th November.

Clearly, data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking both Statement, I and II together:

We can say that Madhavi joined the office either on 8th or 9th November.

Clearly, data in both the statements I and II together is not sufficient to answer question.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

The Chinese electoral system does not allow for genuine democratic choice. Key points include:

• The Communist Party is the only party that can form the government.
• Candidates must receive approval from the Communist Party before they can run for election.
• This system limits the options available to voters, as they can only choose from candidates endorsed by the ruling party.
• Consequently, the elections do not reflect a true democratic process.

Therefore, Correct Answer - Option B

The spirit of democracy means government by the people , for the people and to the people. Therefore, giving right to vote is foremost criteria to hold on.

Social Sciences include a body of knowledge, which deals with social and cultural aspects of human life. Social Sciences have emerged as distinct disciplines in order to be taught at different levels of the education system (starting from school level to higher education level) across the globe because of their immense importance for achieving better social cohesion, solidarity and development.

Key Points The following points characterize the nature of social sciences:

• Social sciences are basically concerned with human relationship. Study of the nature of human society is the ultimate goal of all social sciences.
• Social sciences aim at making a sensitive, reflective and informed human being.
  • Social sciences study mostly the social issues, and social issues are always more complex, more subjective and less verifiable than the issues of physical sciences.
• Different social sciences like history, economics, sociology, anthropology etc. constitute an area or field of knowledge. And, this area or field of knowledge is functionally different from other areas or fields of knowledge like languages, mathematics, general sciences, etc
• Social sciences have their own/distinct content areas and methodologies for approaching and understanding knowledge. Some of the common methods used in social sciences for understanding knowledge are historical, thematic, participatory, non-coercive, quasi-experimental, etc.
• Concern for value attainment is an important tenet of social sciences. Therefore, social scientists bother always for goodness or value of something that they attain or deal with.
• Social sciences are primarily interdisciplinary in nature. A concept or issue of social sciences may not be confined to one discipline of social sciences, rather the concept or the issue may be understood taking into account the perspectives of all disciplines of social sciences.
• Social sciences facilitate plurality in thinking in understanding an issue. Since in social situation, a single effect has numerous causes and a single cause has numerous effects, so, social sciences facilitate multiple thinking referring to a single issue.

Hence, we conclude that unrealistic course of study is not the nature of social science.

• Assertion (A) is correct: The credit activities of the informal sector should be discouraged. Informal sector credit often operates outside the purview of regulations and can lead to exploitation of borrowers through high interest rates and unfair practices.


• Reason (R) is true: Getting a loan from a bank is indeed more difficult than taking a loan from informal resources. Banks have stringent eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and may require collateral, making it harder for individuals, especially those in the informal sector, to access credit.


• R is not the correct explanation of A: While it is true that getting a loan from a bank is more difficult, the reason alone does not explain why credit activities of the informal sector should be discouraged. The primary reason to discourage informal sector credit is to protect borrowers from predatory practices and ensure financial inclusion and stability.

• Digambara ('sky-clad') is the oldest extant universal religion stream and one of Jainism's two major branches.
