Features accepted by all the Indian leaders much before they sat down to make the Constitution:
- Universal adult franchise:
- All the Indian leaders unanimously accepted the idea of universal adult franchise, which means every adult citizen of the country, irrespective of their caste, religion, gender, or social status, has the right to vote in elections.

Not a condition of a democratic election:

• A: Everyone is allowed to vote


• B: There are political parties to contest elections


• C: The candidate not preferred by people gets elected


• D: Elections are held at regular intervals

Explanation:

A democratic election is a process where individuals have the opportunity to choose their representatives through voting. While there are several conditions that typically characterize a democratic election, one of the conditions listed is not applicable:

• C: The candidate not preferred by people gets elected: In a democratic election, the candidate who receives the majority of votes or the highest number of votes is elected. The principle of majority rule is a fundamental aspect of democratic elections, and it ensures that the candidate preferred by the people is elected.

Therefore, option C is not a condition of a democratic election because it contradicts the concept of majority rule and the will of the people.

On maps, different colors and symbols are used to represent various geographical features. Bodies of water, such as rivers and lakes, are typically shown in blue. A thick blue line specifically represents a river, indicating a significant body of flowing water. In contrast, streams might be represented by thinner lines, dams by specific symbols, and electricity power stations are not generally represented by blue lines.

Contour Bunding is one of the simple method of soil and water conservation. This technique is used at places where the land is sloppy. Due to slope, soil and nutrients erode fast which makes agriculture on this land very uneconomical. To adopt this technique the agriculture fields contours are marked and then the bunds are taken along the contours.

The correct option is Option C.

Several Indus seals with Harappan script have also been found in Mesopotamia, particularly in Ur, Babylon and Kish. The water buffalos which appears on the Akkadian cylinder seals from the time of Naram-Sin (circa 2250 BCE), may have been imported to Mesopotamia from the Indus as a result of trade.

• Wood's Despatch (1854) In 1854, Charles Wood prepared a despatch on India's educational system.

• Considered the "Magna Carta of English Education in India", this document was the first comprehensive man for India's spread of education. 

1. It asked the government of India to assume responsibility for education of the masses, thus repudiating the downward filtration theory', at least on paper. 

2. It systematized the hierarchy from vernacular primary schools in villages at bottom, followed by AngloVernacular High Schools and an affiliated college at the district level, and affiliating universities in the presidency towns of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras. 

3. It recommended English as the medium ofCalcutta'sstruction for higand vernaculars at school level. 

4. It laid stress on female and vocational education, and on teachers' training. 

5. It laid down that the education imparted in government institutions should be secular. 

6. It recommended a system of grants-in-aid to encourage private enterprise.

The numeric value of the letters (considering A to be 1 and Z to be 26) is added and simplified to obtain a single digit.

For RAM, the numeric value of R, A and M is 18, 1 and 13 respectively. Their sum is 32, Now 32 is further simplified to obtain a single digit by adding 3 and 2, which gives us 5 as the final value.
Similarly for GUI, the numeric value of G,U and I is 7, 21 and 9 respectively. Their sum is 37, which is simplified as 3 + 7 = 10 => 1 + 0 = 1.
Similar process will be done to obtain the code for SAP, the numeric value of S, A and P is 19, 1 and 16 respectively. Their sum is 36, which is simplified as 3 + 6 = 9.
So, the code for SAP is 9.
Hence option (B) is correct.

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.

From Statement 1:
A’s rank is five ranks below H's rank, whose rank is 19^th from the bottom.

Here, A’s rank is 10^th from the top.
From Statement 2:
A’s rank is seven ranks above F's rank, whose rank is 11^th from the bottom.

Here, A’s rank is 6^th from the top.
Hence option C is correct.

Clearly, the given series consists of prime numbers starting from 2. The prime number after 11 is 13.

Thus, the missing number is 13.

All these are related to train.

Hence, Option A is correct.

The ratio of 1 hour to 300 seconds is:

• To compare time, we should convert both times to the same unit. Let's convert 1 hour to seconds (since 1 hour = 3600 seconds).
• 1 hour = 1 × 3600 seconds = 3600 seconds
• Now we have 3600 seconds to 300 seconds. The ratio is  3600 : 300.
• To simplify, divide both by their greatest common divisor, which is 300.
• 
• So, the ratio is 12 : 1, which corresponds to option (b).

In a proportion, the product of the first and third terms is equal to the product of the second and fourth terms.
Let's check each option:
(i) x:y::z:x → This doesn't follow the pattern of a proportion.
(ii) x:y::y:z → This follows the pattern of a proportion.
(iii) x:y::z:y → This doesn't follow the pattern of a proportion.
(iv)  x:z::y:z → This doesn't follow the pattern of a proportion.
Therefore, the answer is (b).

Given that, a =x³y² = x × x × x × y × y
and b = xy³ = x × y × y × y
∴ HCF of a and b = HCF (x³y²,xy³) = x × y × y = xy² 
[Since, HCF is the product of the smallest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers]
