The Correct Answer  is A: 1 Only

Explanation for the Correct Answer:
The Bhimbetka rock shelters are an archaeological site in central India that spans the prehistoric Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods, as well as the historic period. It exhibits the earliest traces of human life on the Indian subcontinent and evidence of Stone Age habitation starting at the site in Acheulian times.
1. Evidence of Use of Tools and Implements:

• Bhimbetka caves indeed demonstrate the continuity of human evolution from the Lower Paleolithic period to the Mesolithic period to the Chalcolithic period. This is primarily because these caves contain a rich collection of archaeological findings.
• The site has yielded tools and implements from all these periods, providing concrete evidence of human evolution and progress in tool-making techniques and survival strategies.
• The artifacts found here include tools from the Old Stone Age (Lower Palaeolithic), tools from the Middle Stone Age (Mesolithic), as well as tools from the New Stone Age (Chalcolithic).
• This shows a clear progression and continuity of human activities and evolution over a long period of time, which is why statement 1 is correct.

2. Presence of Shankhalipi Inscriptions:

• While the Bhimbetka caves do contain ancient inscriptions, the presence of "Shankhalipi" inscriptions specifically is not a significant factor in demonstrating the continuity of human evolution from the Lower Paleolithic period to the Mesolithic period to the Chalcolithic period.
• Shankhalipi, also known as shell-script, is a unique and lesser-known script found in India, and it is not associated with the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, or Chalcolithic periods.
• Therefore, the presence of Shankhalipi inscriptions in the Bhimbetka caves does not directly support the evidence of continuity of human evolution over these periods. This is why statement 2 is not correct.

• Keeladi is a tiny hamlet in the Sivaganga district in south Tamil Nadu.
• It is about 12 km southeast of the temple city of Madurai and is located along the Vaigai river.
• The excavations here from 2015 prove that an urban civilization existed in Tamil Nadu in the Sangam age on the banks of the Vaigai river.

• Kharavelas Hatigumpha inscription, dated to c. 155 BCE provides the earliest epigraphic evidence alluding to a confederacy of Tamil states- Tramiradesasanghatanam, which was 113 years old at the time and had long been a source of danger. 

Relation between Keeladi and Sangam age:

• The Sangam age is a period of history in ancient Tamil Nadu that was believed to be from the third century BCE to the third century CE.
• In 2019, a TNSDA report dated the unearthed artefacts from Keeladi to a period between the sixth century BCE and the first century BCE.
• The findings in the TNSDA report placed Keeladi artefacts about 300 years earlier than the previously believed third century BCE.
• A recent ASI report in 2015 discovered Keeladi, has pushed the Sangam age to 800 BCE based on these archaeological findings.
• Keeladi could also provide crucial evidence for understanding the missing links between the Iron Age (12th century BCE to sixth century BCE) to the Early Historic Period (sixth century BCE to fourth century BCE).

Option D is correct.

The given sentence is in the active voice: "I expect you to complete this work before sunset."

The correct transformation of this sentence into the passive voice is: "You are expected to complete this work before sunset."

Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "You are expected to complete this work before sunset."

Let the total length of the tree be X + Y meters
From the figure tan 45 = X/20 => X = 20
cos 45 = 20/Y => Y = 20/cos 45 = 20√2
X + Y = 20 + 20radic; 2 = 20 + 2 x 10 x 1.414 = 48.28 meters

Hence, Option B is correct.

Let AB be the observation tower and h be its height.

Also, let the ship be at C when the angle of elevation is 30° and at D when the angle of elevation is 45°.

The time taken by the ship to travel from C to D is 10 minutes and we need to find out the time the ship will take to reach B from D.

∴ tan 30º = AB/CB = h / CB = 1/ √3

⇒ CB = √3 x h

∴ tan 45º = AB / DB = h / DB = 1

⇒ DB = h

⇒ CD = CB – DB = (√3h – h) = h(√3– 1)

Now, as h(√3 – 1) distance is covered in 10 minutes, a distance of h is covered in = 13.66 minutes = 13 minutes 40 seconds

Given, 3, 8, 13, 18, … is the AP.
a = 3
d = a(2) – a(1) = 8 − 3 = 5
Let a(n) term be 78.
a(n) = a + (n − 1) x d
78 = 3 + (n − 1) x 5
75 = (n − 1) x 5
(n − 1) = 15
n = 16

Length of the rectangle = 5x
Breadth of the rectangle = 4x
5x × 4x = 320
x² = 16
x = 4
So the answer = 2 × (5x + 4x) = 2 × 9x = 2 × 9 × 4 = 72 cm
Hence, Option B is correct.

Hence, Option B is correct.

In the question, We have to find the common to all three figures which is shown below-
