The correct answer is Al2O3.

Key PointsAmphoteric Oxides

• Amphoteric oxides are oxides that can act as both acids and bases. They can react with both acids and bases to produce salts and water.
• Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is a classic example of an amphoteric oxide. It reacts with acids to form aluminum salts and water and with bases to form salts and water as well.
• For example, when Al2O3 reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), it forms aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) and water. When it reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), it can form sodium aluminate (NaAlO₂) and water.
• This dual behavior is due to the electronic structure of the aluminum ion, which allows it to form covalent bonds with oxygen in acidic and basic environments.
• Magnesium oxide (MgO) and sodium oxide (Na₂O) are primarily basic oxides, while P₄O₁₀ is an acidic oxide, not demonstrate amphoteric properties.

Hence, the correct option is Al2O3.

Additional Information

• Basic oxides: These are oxides that react with acids to form salt and water. Examples include CaO (calcium oxide), which reacts with HCl to form calcium chloride and water.
• Acidic oxides: Oxides that react with bases to form salts and water. An example is SO₃ (sulfur trioxide), which reacts with NaOH to form sodium sulfate and water.
• Applications of Al₂O₃: Aluminum oxide has wide applications due to its physical and chemical properties. It is used as an abrasive in sandpapers, as a refractory material due to its high melting point, and in the production of aluminum metal.

The correct answer is Only one.

Key Points

Animal and Plant biodiversity:

• According to IUCN (2004), the total number of plant and animal species described so far is slightly more than 1.5 million. Estimates vary widely and many of them are only educated guesses.
• More than 70 per cent of all the species recorded are animals, while plants (including algae, fungi, bryophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms) comprise no more than 22 per cent of the total.
• Among animals, insects are the most species-rich taxonomic group, making up more than 70 per cent of the total. That means, out of every 10 animals on this planet, 7 are insects. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
• The number of fungi species in the world is more than the combined total of the species of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Hence, Statement 2 is not correct.
• Although India has only 2.4 per cent of the world‘s land area, its share of the global species diversity is an impressive 8.1 per cent. Hence, Statement 3 is not correct.
• That is what makes our country one of the 12 mega diversity countries of the world.
• Nearly 45,000 species of plants and twice as many animals have been recorded from India.

The correct answer is Money multiplier will decrease.
Key Points
Money multiplier will reduce:

• The money multiplier effect depends on the fractional reserve banking system, where banks lend out a portion of the deposits they hold.
• If people start holding more currency in hand instead of in deposits, banks will have less money to lend, reducing the money multiplier effect.

Additional Information

• In monetary economics, the demand for money is the desired holding of financial assets in the form of money: that is, cash or bank deposits rather than investments. This may refer to money demand defined as M1 (directly spendable holdings) or money in the broader sense of M2 or M3.
• The nominal demand for money increases with the level of nominal output (price level times real output) and decreases with the nominal interest rate.
• The real demand for money is defined as the nominal amount of money divided by the price level.

The correct answer is 1 only.

Key PointsUnderstanding Price Index and Inflation Rate Calculation

• A price index is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food, and medical care. It is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them.
  • Changes in the price index over time reflect the economy's inflation rate.
• The statement that a price index captures the change in the average price of a constant basket of commodities is accurate. It's a fundamental tool in the economics field to measure the cost of living and inflation.
  • Hence, statement 1 is correct.
• Regarding the inflation rate calculation, it is derived from the price index by calculating the percentage change in the index over consecutive periods. If the price index moves from 100 to 110, the inflation rate for that period is calculated as [(110-100)/100] * 100 = 10%.
  • Similarly, if it then increases to 121, the inflation rate for the next period is [(121-110)/110] * 100 = 10%, not 21% as mentioned.
• The error in the second statement arises from a misunderstanding of how to calculate percentage changes correctly. The inflation rate is based on the relative change from one period to the next, not the absolute change from the base period.
  • Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.

Additional Information

• Inflation is a measure of the rate at which the overall level of prices for goods and services is rising, and, subsequently, purchasing power is falling. Central banks attempt to limit inflation, and avoid deflation, in order to keep the economy running smoothly.
• Understanding the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Wholesale Price Index (WPI) are crucial for analyzing inflation. These indices provide insights into price changes from the perspective of consumers and wholesalers, respectively.
  • The CPI measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.
  • WPI measures the changes in the prices of goods sold and traded in bulk by wholesale businesses to other businesses.
• Monetary policy tools such as interest rates are often adjusted based on inflation trends to ensure economic stability.

The correct answer is 2.

Key PointsNamdev and His Contributions

• Namdev, a prominent Bhakti saint, played a significant role in shaping the Bhakti movement in India.
• He is known for his efforts in transmitting the Bhakti tradition from the southern part of India to the north, thereby creating a bridge between the two regions' spiritual cultures. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
• As a proponent of Bhakti, Namdev emphasized the importance of a personal and direct relationship with God, bypassing the need for rituals and caste distinctions.
• His teachings and poetry often spoke against caste discrimination, advocating for egalitarianism and universal brotherhood. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
• Contrary to the claim in the question, Namdev was not a follower of Kabir. In fact, it is believed that Kabir, who lived in the 15th century, was influenced by Namdev's work. Namdev preceded Kabir, making it historically inaccurate to label him as a follower of Kabir. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
• Hence, two statements are correct.

Additional Information

• Namdev's poetry and devotional songs, known as Abhangas, are a significant part of Marathi and Sikh sacred literature.
  • His works are included in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism.
• The Bhakti movement, to which Namdev contributed significantly, was a devotional trend that emphasized love and devotion to God as the path to salvation.
  • This movement challenged the traditional caste system and rituals, promoting a more personal and direct approach to spirituality.
• Namdev's legacy is not just limited to his poetry but also extends to his impact on the cultural and religious life of India, promoting values of devotion, equality, and love beyond societal barriers.
