By the first century CE, there is evidence of changes in Buddhist ideas and practices. Early Buddhist teachings had given great importance to self-effort in achieving nibbana. Besides, the Buddha was regarded as a human being who attained enlightenment and nibbana through his own efforts. However, gradually the idea of a saviour emerged. It was believed that he was the one who could ensure salvation.
Simultaneously, the concept of the Bodhisatta also developed. Bodhisattas were perceived as deeply compassionate beings who accumulated merit through their efforts but used this not to attain nibbana and thereby abandon the world, but to help others. The worship of images of the Buddha and Bodhisattas became an important part of this tradition.

The Buddha regarded the social world as the creation of humans rather than of divine origin.
Therefore, he advised kings and gahapatis to be humane and ethical. Individual effort was expected to transform social relations.
The Buddha emphasised individual agency and righteous action as the means to escape from the cycle of rebirth and attain self-realisation and nibbana, literally the extinguishing of the ego and desire – and thus end the cycle of suffering for those who renounced the world. According to Buddhist tradition, his last words to his followers were: “Be lamps unto yourselves as all of you must work out your own liberation.”

Black Dot Disease – Potato Rest all affect sugarcane Sugarcane crop is affected by numerous diseases. A conservative estimate puts the loss in cane yield to about 15 to 20 per cent. Maximum damage is caused by sett transmissible diseases. The red rot is the most serious disease of sugarcane. Other important diseases are smut, wilt, ratoon stunting disease (RSD), grassy shoot disease (GSD), and leaf spot disease which occur sporadically, mostly during winter period and are of minor nature. The red rot and wilt in severe form can cause total loss of yield. Pineapple disease is an economically important sugarcane disease that occurs in almost all countries where sugarcane is grown. Shortly after infection, the internal tissue of the seed piece turns red and eventually black.66

Cucurbitacins are tetracyclic triterpenes having high oxidative levels. They occur in nature as free glucosidesor as complicated mixtures (at high concentrations) in fruits and roots. They cause the bitterness in cucumbers.
There is no evidence to support increase in bitterness at high temperature. More bitter cucumbers are seen growing during the cooler growing season.

Grand titles were adopted by the Mughal emperors at the time of coronation or after a victory over an enemy. Highsounding and rhythmic, they created an atmosphere of awe in the audience when announced by ushers (naqib). Mughal coins carried the full title of the reigning emperor with regal protocol.
The granting of titles to men of merit was an important aspect of Mughal polity. A man’s ascent in the court hierarchy could be traced through the titles he held. The title Asaf Khan for one of the highest ministers originated with Asaf, the legendary minister of the prophet king Sulaiman (Solomon). The title Mirza Raja was accorded by Aurangzeb to his two highest-ranking nobles, Jai Singh and Jaswant Singh. Titles could be earned or paid for. Mir Khan offered Rs one lakh to Aurangzeb for the letter alif, that is A, to be added to his name to make it Amir Khan

The Emperor Akbar in his profound sagacity classified the lands and fixed a different revenue to be paid by each. Polaj is land which is annually cultivated for each crop in succession and is never allowed to lie fallow. Parauti is land left out of cultivation for a time that it may recover its strength. Chachar is land that has lain fallow for three or four years. Banjar is land uncultivated for five years and more. Of the first two kinds of land, there are three classes, good, middling, and bad. They add together the produce of each sort, and the third of this represents the medium produce, one-third part of which is exacted as the Royal dues. In his list of duties of the amil-guzar or revenue collector, Akbar decreed that while he should strive to make cultivators pay in cash, the option of payment in kind was also to be kept open.

One of the most important chronicles was the Ain-i Akbari (in short the Ain) authored by Akbar's court historian Abu'l Fazl. This text meticulously recorded the arrangements made by the state to ensure cultivation, to enable the collection of revenue by the agencies of the state and to regulate the relationship between the state and rural magnates, the zamindars. We are told in the Ain that the Mughal provinces of Agra produced 39 varieties of crops and Delhi produced 43 over the two seasons. Bengal produced 50 varieties of rice alone. However, the focus on the cultivation of basic staples did not mean that agriculture in medieval India was only for subsistence. We often come across the term jins-i kamil (literally, perfect crops) in our sources. The Mughal state also encouraged peasants to cultivate such crops as they brought in more revenue. Crops such as cotton and sugarcane were jins-i kamil par excellence. Cotton was grown over a great swathe of territory spread over central India and the Deccan plateau, whereas Bengal was famous for its sugar. Cultivation was based on the principle of individual ownership. Peasant lands were bought and sold in the same way as the lands of other property owners.

There are two types of plastids - chromoplasts (coloured plastids) and leucoplasts (white or colourless plastids). Plastids containing the pigment chlorophyll are known as chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are important for photosynthesis in plants. Chloroplasts also contain various yellow or orange pigments in addition to chlorophyll. Leucoplasts are primarily organelles in which materials such as starch, oils and protein granules are stored. Like the mitochondria, plastids also have their own DNA and ribosomes. Hence only statement 2 is right. Option B is correct answer.

Detergents are more effective in case of hard water since unlike soaps, detergents react less to minerals than soaps. Soaps are water soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids (caroboxylic acids). Solid fats like palm oil and coconut oil form hard soaps, whereas oils like olive oil and soybean oil are used for forming mild and soft soaps. The methods of soap making are often termed as saponification, in which fats and oils are heated and then they are reacted with a liquid alkali. Detergents are basically non-alkaline carbonic compounds (sodium salts of long chain benzene sulphonic acids or alkyl sulfate). Soap and detergents are often used interchangeably as surfactants (substances which lessens surface tension of water). Soaps have been around since a very long time (thousands of years) whereas, detergents have recently gained popularity (50-60 years). Soaps are more effective when used with warm water. On the other hand, detergents work the same in cold and warm water both.

Ethanol is completely soluble in water. Whatever proportions you mix them in, you will get a single solution.
Reason: "like dissolves like". So polar solvent dissolve polar solute . When you look at the structure of ethanol, the hydrocarbon region of the molecule, the C's and H's are very non polar. But the hydroxyl, the OH group is polar so ethanol contains BOTH non polar and polar regions. This enables it to dissolve in both polar (water) and non polar (petrol) solvents. Ethanol in other words is slightly polar and slightly non polar.
Consumption of small quantities of dilute ethanol causes drunkenness. Even though this practice is condemned, it is a socially widespread practice. However, intake of even a small quantity of pure ethanol (called absolute alcohol) can be lethal. Also, long-term consumption of alcohol leads to many health problems.

You have seen above that a candle or the LPG in the gas stove burns with a flame. However, you will observe the coal or charcoal in an ‘angithi’ sometimes just glows red and gives out heat without a flame. This is because a flame is only produced when gaseous substances burn. When wood or charcoal is ignited, the volatile substances present vapourise and burn with a flame in the beginning.
A luminous flame is seen when the atoms of the gaseous substance are heated and start to glow. The colour produced by each element is a characteristic property of that element.

This is what makes MRI possible.
Magnetism in medicine: An electric current always produces a magnetic field. Even weak ion currents that travel along the nerve cells in our body produce magnetic fields. When we touch something, our nerves carry an electric impulse to the muscles we need to use. This impulse produces a temporary magnetic field. These fields are very weak and are about one-billionth of the earth’s magnetic field. Two main organs in the human body where the magnetic field produced is significant, are the heart and the brain. The magnetic field inside the body forms the basis of obtaining the images of different body parts. This is done using a technique called Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Analysis of these images helps in medical diagnosis. Magnetism has, thus, got important uses in medicine.

Infrared technology is what most TV remotes use. The distance an infrared signal can travel varies based on the strength of the remote, but is usually less than 50 feet for household electronics. In order for an infrared signal to be detected, there must be a direct line of sight between the transmitter (remote) and the receiver (TV). If there is a wall or large object between them, the signal will not pass through it.
Bluetooth, on the other hand, uses a radio frequency, which allows transmission through walls and other objects.

The Multi-dimensaional Poverty Index (MPI), published in the UNDP 2010 report, complements monitory measures of poverty by considering overlapping deprivation suffered by people at the same time.
The index identifies deprivation across the same three dimensions as the HDI. In other words the MPI identifies multiple deprivations at the household and individual level in health, education and standard of living and shows the number of people who are multi-dimensionally poor (suffering deprivations in 33% of weighted indicators) and the number of deprivations with which poor households typically contend with.
Hence, both 1st and 2nd statement are correct.
