Government of India Act, 1858 declared that henceforth India shall be governed by and in the name of the Queen and vested in the Queen all the territories and powers of the English Company. However, the Government of India was to be carried on by the Viceroy on behalf of the Queen. The Secretary of State for India was a Cabinet Minister in the British Government while his agent in India was the Governor General in India. Thus, Governor General worked as a representative of the British Government much like today's governors work as representatives of the President of India. The Governor-General of India was responsible for administration of the country. Along with this, a new office of Viceroy was created to work as a diplomat to parley with the princely states. However, it was provided that the both the offices to be held by same person. Viceroy was made responsible to Secretary of State for India. With the establishment of the Act the Board of Control and the Court of Directors were abolished and all the powers possessed by them were given to the Secretary of the State for India and the India Council. Thus, this act abolished the Dual / Double Government introduced by the Pitt's India act. The Secretary of State for India was declared to be a corporate body which could sue and be sued in England and India.

Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) means an institution established or incorporated outside India which proposes to make investment in securities in India. However, FII as a category does not exist now. It was decided to create a new investor class called "Foreign Portfolio Investor" (FPI) by merging the existing three investor classes viz. FIIs, Sub Accounts and Qualified Foreign Investors. As per Section 15 (1) (a) of the SEBI FII Regulations, 1995, a Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) may invest in the securities in the primary and secondary markets including shares, debentures and warrants of companies unlisted, listed or to be listed on a recognized stock exchange in India. In fact FIIs are very active in the over the counter (OTC) markets and in the IPO market in India. To some extent this notion is true and is emphasized in policy documents. For instance, consolidated FDI Policy of Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) states that "foreign Direct Investment, as distinguished from portfolio investment (FII), has the connotation of establishing a 'lasting interest' in an enterprise that is resident in an economy other than that of the investor".

The Deccan Riots of 1875 targeted conditions of debt peonage (kamiuti) to moneylenders. The sole purpose of the rioters was to obtain and destroy the bonds, decrees, and other documents in the possession of the moneylenders. The Deccan peasants mainly directed their revolt to the excesses of the Marwari and the Gujarat moneylenders. The Deccan riot was the upshot of a number of adverse circumstances. The excessive government land revenue, slump in the international cotton prices at the end of the American Civil War etc made the economic condition of the Deccan peasants extremely miserable. They were immersed in enormous debts. The greedy Marwari and the Gujarat moneylenders adept in the art of manipulation drew unjust tax and money from the peasants. The peasants being illiterate unknowingly signed the bond without having a proper knowledge of what is there in the bond. The civil courts invariably gave verdicts in favor of the exorbitant moneylenders. Initially the movement was peaceful with peasants resorting to social boycott of outside moneylenders. Later the movement turned into riots and the peasants attacked moneylender houses and shops. The peasant uprising spread to most of the Taluks of the Ahmednagar district. The Government of India put the Police assisted by the military into action in order to put an end to the revolt. By June 1875 nearly a thousand peasants were arrested and the uprising was completely suppressed. Finally the Government of India appointed the Deccan Riots Commission to investigate into the causes of the uprising. The Agriculturists Relief Act of 1879 passed several measures for the betterment of the Deccan peasants. The Act put restrictions on the alienation of the peasants land and imposed some restrictions on the Civil Procedure Code. As a result the Peasant could not be arrested and sent to the civil debtors jail owing to the failure of paying debts.

A bill for formation of a new state can only be introduced in the Parliament only with the prior recommendation of the President. Hence, statement 1 is correct. In case of a union territory, no reference need be made to concerned legislature to ascertain its views and the Parliament can itself take any action as it deems fit . Hence, statement 2 is not correct. The President has to refer the same to the state legislature concerned for expressing its views within a specified period. The period is not fixed at 14 days. Hence, statement 3 is not correct.

Alluvial soils are by far the largest and the most important soil group in India. Covering about 15 lakh sq km or about 45.6 percent of the total land area of the country, these soils contribute the largest share of our agricultural wealth and support the bulk of India's population. Geographically, black soils are spread over 5.46 lakh sq km (i.e. 16.6 percent of the total geographical area of the country) encompassed between 15°N to 25°N latitudes and 72°E to 82°E longitudes. This is a region of high temperature and low rainfall. It is, therefore, a soil group of the dry and hot regions of the Peninsula. The red soils occupy a vast area of about 3.5 lakh sq km which is about 10.6 percent of the total geographical area of the country. These soils are spread on almost the whole of Tamil Nadu, parts of Karnataka, south-east of Maharashtra, eastern parts of Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, and Chota Nagpur in Jharkhand. Laterite and lateritic soils are widely spread in India and cover an area of 2.48 lakh sq km. They are mainly found on the summits of Western Ghats at 1000 to 1500 m above mean sea level, Eastern Ghats, the Rajamahal Hills, Vindhyas, Satpuras, and Malwa Plateau. Hence option (b) is the correct answer.

Sonar dome is a protective cover to sonar equipment of surface war ships. The dome is designed to house sonar array, and to maximize the performance of the array by reducing the effects of noise of water turbulence and protecting the array from wave slamming, minor collisions etc. From an acoustic stand point of view, the goal is to maximize the fidelity of incoming sound by ensuring that the self-noise and flow induced noise can be inherently minimized. It has been designed by Research and Development Establishment (Engineers), a DRDO laboratory based in Pune and manufactured by Goa-based composites manufacturing company Kineco.

Bank rate is the rate at which central bank lends money to the commercial banks by buying their eligible rated securities - bills of exchange or commercial paper. Bank Rate once used to be the policy rate (the key interest rate based on which all other short term interest rates move) in India. On the introduction of Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF), discounting/rediscounting of bills of exchange by the Reserve Bank has been discontinued. As a result, the Bank Rate became dormant as an instrument of monetary management. Bank Rate is now aligned to Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate (Repo and Reverse Repo rate), the penal rate at which banks can borrow money from the central bank over and above what is available to them through theLAF window. In other words, MSF assumed the role of bank rate, once the latter became operational in 2011. Bank Rate is now used only for calculating penalty on default in the maintenance of cash reserve ratio (CRR) and the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR). Since Bank rate has been aligned to the MSF rate, it changes automatically as and when the MSF rate changes, alongside policy repo rate changes. Accordingly, the penal interest rates levied on banks for not meeting their reserve requirements (which are specifically linked to the Bank Rate using a formula; i.e., Bank Rate +3 percentage points; Bank Rate +5 percentage points), also stand revised as and when the repo rate is revised. Unlike other policy rates, the bank rate is purely a signalling rate and most interest rates are de-linked from the bank rate. Thus all statements are correct.

Fold mountains are created where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together. At these colliding, compressing boundaries, rocks and debris are warped and folded into rocky outcrops, hills, mountains, and entire mountain ranges. Examples of fold mountains include: Himalayan Mountains in Asia, the Alps in Europe, the Andes in South America, the Rockies in North America, the Urals in Russia. Block mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another. Examples of fault-block mountains include the Sierra Nevada mountains in North America and the Harz Mountains in Germany.

Unified Payments Interface (UPI), the advanced version of Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), a round-the-clock funds transfer service, is set to become an efficient alternative to mobile wallets and make cashless payments faster, easier and smoother for millions of people in India. The interface has been developed by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the umbrella organisation for all retail payments in the country. All that a customer needs is a smartphone with the UPI application downloaded for instant payment of cash. It does all the functions of a debit card or internet banking in a more secured environment. UPI is a unique payment solution as the recipient is now empowered to initiate the payment request from a smartphone without using credit or debit card and internet banking. For banks which were smarting under the onslaught of mobile wallets like PayTM, Mobikwik, Oxigen and Citrus Pay, UPI has come as a boon to retrieve the lost ground. The RBI has allowed only banks to become PSPs of UPI service, keeping mobile wallets out of the service. Therefore, A is the correct answer.

With the aim to support two major initiatives of the Government i.e. "Make in India" and "Skill India" and to align to skill standards which are recognized globally, "Transnational Skill Standards" was recently launched in India. These standards in skill development are benchmarked to United Kingdom across 82 identified job roles and will highlight the gaps between Indian Standards against the UK standards. It is government's endeavour to benchmark the standards so as to support international mobility of Indian workforce and also prepare them to work in international companies having their operations in the country. UK standards have been chosen to benchmark Indian Skills standards since all the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries recognize UK skill certification. Therefore, both statements are correct.

The Sikh army under Maharaja Ranjit Singh was called the 'dal khalsa'. Army under Maharaja Ranjit Singh was large and strong. Besides the Sikhs who formed the bulk of the army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh there were Gurkhas and Muslims also. During the period under Maharaja Ranjit Singh, European officers were much in demand. These were either French or English. The English were mostly deserters from the Company's forces and seeking new careers while the French were in some cases already noted as soldiers and generals. The Frenchmen in the employ of Ranjit were known to be mostly men of high calibre but it is not known where their sympathies would have been in the event of a war with the English. Judicial Administration of Maharaja Ranjit Singh had no written laws. Judicial decisions were made in accordance with customary principles. The judicial procedure was crude and simple and no distinction was made between civil and criminal cases. Punishment for murder or other physical injuries was meted out to offenders more often in the form of fine than bodily chastisement. He struck coins in the name of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh.
