All the given statements are correct. A perfectly competitive market has following features: The market consists of buyers and sellers (that is, firms). All firms in the market produce a certain homogeneous (that is, undifferentiated) good. Each buyer and seller in the market is a price-taker. A price-taking firm believes that should it set a price above the market price, it will be unable to sell any quantity of the good that it produces. On the other hand, should the set price be less than or equal to the market price, the firm can sell as many units of the good as it wants to sell. However, a price-taking buyer believes that should she ask for a price below the market price, no firm will be willing to sell to her. On the other hand, should the price asked be greater than or equal to the market price, the buyer can obtain as many units of the good as she desires to buy. The industry is characterized by freedom of entry and exit.

Its mandate is not only tax distribution between centre and states but also to ensure public services of same standards across the states.Apart from this it can take up any other matter as given to it by the President. Statement 2 is correct as it is for the Government of India to decide whether to accept the recommendations or not. It is nowhere laid in the Constitution that its report is binding. Statement 3 is not correct as the Constitution doesn't restrict the Commission from considering the Capital requirements. It was the increased role of the earlier Planning Commission in deciding capital grants which had practically nullified the Finance Commission’s functions in this aspect.

Gandhiji referred which Satyagraha or movement as a "Himalayan Blunder"?
|
Rowlatt Act Satyagraha
|
Non Cooperation Movement
|
Civil Disobedience Movement
|
Rowlatt Act Satyagraha
|
By mid-April the satyagraha had started losing momentum, forcing Gandhi to withdraw it. As a political campaign, therefore, it was a manifest failure, since it failed to secure its only aim, i.e., the repeal of the Rowlatt Act. It also lapsed into violence, although it was meant to be non-violent. Gandhi admitted to have committed a Himalayan blunder by offering the weapon of satyagraha to a people insufficiently trained in the discipline of non-violence. But the movement was significant nevertheless, as it was the first nationwide popular agitation, marking the beginning of a transformation of Indian nationalist politics from being the politics of some restricted classes to becoming the politics of the masses.

Statement 1 is correct: The air in contact with the land gets heated slowly and the upper layers in contact with the lower layers also get heated. This process is called conduction. Conduction is important in heating the lower layers of the atmosphere. Statement 2 is correct: The transfer of heat through horizontal movement of air is called advection. In tropical regions particularly in northern India during summer season local winds called 'loo' is the outcome of advection process. Statement 3 is not correct: Maximum insolation is received over the subtropical deserts, where the cloudiness is the least. Equator receives comparatively less insolation than the tropics. Generally, at the same latitude the insolation is more over the continent than over the oceans.

The Government Budget is divided into the following categories - Revenue Expenditure is expenditure incurred for purposes other than the creation of physical or financial assets of the central government . It relates to those expenses incurred for the normal functioning of the government departments. The main items of revenue expenditure are interest payments, defence services, subsidies, salaries and pensions. Interest payments on market loans, external loans and from various reserve funds constitute a large component of revenue expenditure . Hence option 1 is correct. Defence expenditure , is committed expenditure in the sense that given the national security concerns, there exists little scope for drastic reduction. It also comes under revenue expenditure. Hence option 2 is correct. Subsidies include both implicit subsidies such as education and health and explicit subsidies such as given on exports, interest on loans, food and fertilizers. Hence option 3 is correct. Capital expenditure is the expenditure of the government which result in creation of physical or financial assets or reduction in financial liabilities. This includes expenditure on the acquisition of land, building, machinery, equipment, investment in shares, and loans and advances by the central government to state and union territory governments, PSUs and other parties. Hence option 4 is not correct.

Investment in shares Select the correct answer using the code given below. ##Option_A:1 and 2 only ###Option_B:3 and 4 only ##Option_C:1, 2 and 3 only ##Option_D:1 and 2 only ##Answer:c##Explaination:The Government Budget is divided into the following categories - Revenue Expenditure is expenditure incurred for purposes other than the creation of physical or financial assets of the central government . It relates to those expenses incurred for the normal functioning of the government departments. The main items of revenue expenditure are interest payments, defence services, subsidies, salaries and pensions. Interest payments on market loans, external loans and from various reserve funds constitute a large component of revenue expenditure . Hence option 1 is correct. Defence expenditure , is committed expenditure in the sense that given the national security concerns, there exists little scope for drastic reduction. It also comes under revenue expenditure. Hence option 2 is correct. Subsidies include both implicit subsidies such as education and health and explicit subsidies such as given on exports, interest on loans, food and fertilizers. Hence option 3 is correct. Capital expenditure is the expenditure of the government which result in creation of physical or financial assets or reduction in financial liabilities. This includes expenditure on the acquisition of land, building, machinery, equipment, investment in shares, and loans and advances by the central government to state and union territory governments, PSUs and other parties.

Gamma rays are the most energetic known form of electromagnetic radiation, with frequencies of 3*10 19 Hz (30 EHz) or higher. They are produced from the decay of excited nuclei of radioactive elements. Gamma rays can penetrate through several centimeters of lead and large doses of them are harmful.
X-rays have frequencies ranging from 3*10 16 to 3*10 19 Hz (30 PHz to 30 EHz). X-rays penetrate easily through some materials such as fat and muscle but not others such as bone, which makes them useful in medicine.
UV light has frequencies ranging from 8*10 14 to 3*10 16 Hz (800 THz to 30 PHz). Prolonged exposure to UV light causes sunburn and can cause skin cancer. The earth's ozone layer absorbs most of the incoming UV light from the sun.

The Vesara style of Indian temple architecture has been equated with what is known as the Chalukyan style. The style is also known as Karnataka after the name of the territory in which it developed. The beginnings of this development are to be found in the reign of the early Chalukyan kings of the 7 th and 8 th centuries AD. At Aihole (ancient Aryapura), Badami and Pattadakal, Dravida and Nagar temples were erected side by side. Thus an admixture of the two ideas took place, leading to the evolution of a hybrid style.

The Gupta period marks the beginning of the construction of free-standing Hindu temples. An example of this is the temple at Deogarh (Jhansi district) which had a central shrine or garbhagriha where the image of the deity was placed. Another temple at Bhitrigaon (Kanpur district) are two fine examples of this period.
The Gupta period developed a form of sculpture that was wholly Indian, the foreign influences that had crept in the Gandhara and Mathura schools of arts disappeared. Most sculptures focused on religious and spiritual themes, like the Buddha or Hindu Gods like Vishnu and Shiv. The art had been highly developed and the sculptures were exquisite.
Painting made great advances in the Gupta period. The most famous painting of the Gupta period are the caves of Ajanta. These painting are known as frescoes. In the caves of Ajanta the artists observed a particular technique for doing their work. The rock walls of the cave were first covered with a mixture of clay, cowdung and smashed rock. On top of this a thin coat of lime plaster was applied. It was then smoothened and kept damp. On this surface the outline of the design was first sketched in dark colors like dark brown or black. After this was done it was filled in, using a variety of colors like white, red, blue, dull green and brown. The theme of these paintings was from the Jataka tales, a collection of stories about the life of the Buddha. The paintings depict the Buddha in various stages of his past and present lives.

The figures of the Mathura school were made of spotted red stone. They had more of spiritual look in them. Here along with Buddha we find sculptures of Jaina deities also. The influence of the Gandhara Art also spread to Mathura although it was primarily a centre of indigenous art. Mathura produced beautiful images of the Buddha, but it is also famous for the headless erect statue of Kanishka whose name is inscribed on its lower part. It also produced several stone images of Vardhamana Mahavira. Its pre-Gupta sculpture and inscriptions ignore Krishna, although Mathura is considered his birthplace and scene of early life. The Mathura school of art flourished in the early centuries of the Christian era, and its products made of red sandstone are found even outside Mathura. At present the Mathura possesses the largest collection of sculptures of Kushan times in India. The new ideals of Mahayana Buddhism inspired the sculptors. This school drew inspiration from Jainism as well as Iranian and Greco-Roman styles. The forms of the Brahmanical deities, for example, became crystallized at Mathura for the first time. The figure were more spiritual in nature rather than religious.

Consider the following statements regarding Gandhara School of Art: The Gandhara School of Art was developed as a result of Indian Craft men coming into contact with Central Asian, Greeks, and Romans.

Bodhisattavas means one whose goals is awakening, hence, an individual on the path of becoming Buddha.
Indian craftsmen came into contact with the Central Asians, Greeks and Romans, especially in the north-western frontier of India in Gandhara. This gave rise to a new kind of art in which images of the Buddha were made in the Graeco-Roman style. The hair of the Buddha was fashioned in the Graeco-Roman style.
The blending of Greek and Indian art led to the development of Gandhara art which developed later. The other schools of art and architecture were the indigenous Mathura school and Amaravati school. A large number of statues of the Buddha were build by the artisans of these schools specially after first century AD under the influence of the Kushanas. Under the Gandhara school of art life-life statues of Buddha and Bodhisattavas were made in the likeness of Greek gods even, though the ideas, inspirations and subjects were all Indian. Rich ornaments, custumes drapery were used to impart physical beauty. The sculptures were in stone, terracotta, cement like material and clay.

Which of the following statements is/are true about the proposals of Financial Sector Legislative Reforms Commission (FSLRC)? If its recommendations accepted, would result in the financial sector having just one regulator. It recommended the setting up a monetary policy committee to decide on policy rates. However, the RBI Governor will have veto powers on interest rates under certain circumstances and after making out a case in writing. It recommended to appoint the RBI Governor as head of the Financial Stability and Development Council. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

The most discussed proposal is the one to set up a new regulatory entity, the Unified Financial Regulatory Agency (UFRA), to be solely responsible for the oversight of the securities market, insurance, pensions and commodities, in effect taking over the functions of existing regulators including the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority and the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority. That would result in the financial sector having just two main regulators, the Reserve Bank of India and the proposed UFRA. A key recommendation to set up a monetary policy committee which, rather than the RBI Governor, will decide on policy rates is arguably the most controversial proposal. This is seen as a not so subtle attempt to clip the wings of the RBI, also because of the related move to confer powers on the government to appoint members of the committee. However, the RBI Governor will have veto powers on interest rates under certain circumstances and after making out a case in writing. The bias towards government is even more obvious in the recommendation to appoint the Finance Minister as head of the Financial Stability and Development Council.

Consider the following statements with respect to "Waste-to-energy" technologies: Biomethanation is more suitable for wet biodegradable waste. Gasification is incomplete combustion of dry waste and it produces CO and H 2 . Pyrolysis is costlier than Biomethanation.

Biomethanation is anaerobic digestion of organic materials which is converted into biogas, a gaseous combustible mixture, of methane (CH4). Biomethanation is a biological treatment method that can be used to recover both nutrients and energy contained in wet biodegradable municipal waste. Gasification is incomplete combustion which produces combustible gas such as hydrogen, synthetic fuels and is a process that converts dry organic or fossil based carbonaceous materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide at elevated temperature (500-1800C) Pyrolysis uses heat to break down combustible polymeric materials in the absence of oxygen, producing a mixture of combustible gases (primarily methane, complex hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide), liquids and solid residues. The products of pyrolysis process are: (i) a gas mixture; (ii) a liquid (bio-oil/tar); (iii) a solid residue (carbon black). Incineration technology is complete combustion of waste with the recovery of heat to produce steam that in turn produces power through steam turbines. But Incineration produces dioxins which are POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants).

The theme of the 2014 GII, the 'Human Factor in Innovation', explores the role of the individuals and teams behind the innovation process. Statistically capturing this human contribution to innovation is a daunting challenge. India slipped off 10 places to 76th place. India is worst performer among BRICS countries. China - 29, Russia 49, SA – 53, Brazil 61 (each country is moving up places except India).
