An assignment must reflect originality. The teaching of Social Sciences must adopt methods that promote creativity. This answer is correct.

The Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) was founded at Delhi.

• Revolutionary nationalists such as Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Sukhdev and others wanted to fight against colonial rule and the rich exploiting classes through a revolution of workers and peasants.

• In 1928, the HRA underwent a significant transformation and was renamed the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) to reflect the socialist ideology that had taken root among its members.
• The HSRA was committed to the idea of armed revolution as a means of achieving Indian independence.
• Its members carried out a number of high-profile acts of political violence, including the assassination of British police officer John Saunders in 1928, and the bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi in 1929.

There are different approaches to teaching social sciences. While some approaches to teaching are subject-oriented and teacher-centered, others are learner-centric in nature.

Let the breadth of the rectangle = b cm
A cm² = l cm x b cm
Or, A = lb
Or, b = A/l
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b) cm
= 2(l + A /l) cm = (2l + 2A/l) cm
Thus, option (4) is correct.

Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

When ozone levels decrease below 200 DU, the condition generally qualifies as an ozone hole.

• There are three levels of government in India, which are the
  • Central government,
  • The State government, and
  • The local bodies (Panchayats and Municipal Corporation). 
• In order to manage the administration of the country easily, the powers are distributed amongst these three levels of the government.
• It is unlike other countries where only two exist. We know that India is too big and diverse that it can't be handled by just two levels.
• And the other motive to introduce the third level was to make the feelings of democracy and political participation reach at the root levels (villages and small towns) of the nation.

Height of Visakhapatnam = 45 m
Height of Mount Everest = 8848 m
Difference in the heights = 8803 m or 8.80 km
The average atmospheric lapse rate results in a temperature decrease of 3.5°F/1,000 ft (6.4°C/km) of altitude.
Average decrease in temperature = 8.80 x 6.4 = 56.32° Celsius
The temperature in Visakhapatnam was 40° Celsius.
Therefore, the temperature on Mount Everest will be 40 - 56.32 = -16.352° or -16° Celsius approx.

Measurement is limited to quantitative description as it does not involve qualitative description. While on other if we talk about option 1 and option 2, they are incorrect because evaluation is not only limited to qualitative description or not only to quantitative description, evaluation is limited to both.

Continuous and comprehensive assessment is emphasised by NCF.

The decadal growth rate in the case of India was 17.7 % compared to 21.5 % in the previous decade. The history of the growth of India's population can be divided into four distinct phases,

• The Period of Stagnant Population (1901-1921) or High Stationary Stage of Demographic Transition
• The Period of Steady Growth (1921-1951)
• The Period of Rapid High Growth (1951-1981)
• The Period of High Growth With Definite Signs of Slowing Down (1981-2011)

Both longitude and latitude are angles measured with the center of the earth as an origin. Longitude is an angle from the prime meridian, measured to the east (longitudes to the west are negative). Latitudes measure an angle up from the equator (latitudes to the south are negative).

An “open book examination” is one in which examinees are allowed to consult their class notes, textbooks, and other approved material while answering questions. The open-book examination measuring high-level skills such as conceptualizing, problem-solving and reasoning correspond almost completely to a total, real-world situation, less stressful, less memorization, more room for logical and creative thinking.

The study of social science is a collection of academic disciplines that explore human behavior and specifically how humans interact with one another, behave, develop as cultures, and shape the world around them.
