Question 5

Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Akbar, like Shershah, tried to regulate the currency of the state.

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are factually true. Akbar did continue and refine Sher Shah's currency reforms, and the Dam was a prominent copper coin during his reign, as it was during Sher Shah's.

Question 9

Which one of the following is NOT the characteristics of Iqta System?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Revenue from Iqta was directly deposited in Sultan's account. Under the Iqta system, the Iqta holder (Muqti) collected revenue from their assigned territory. They were allowed to deduct their own expenses and the cost of maintaining troops for the Sultan. Only the surplus revenue (fawazil) was remitted to the central treasury, not the entire revenue directly deposited. Therefore, 'Revenue from Iqta was directly deposited in Sultan's account' is not a characteristic of the Iqta system.

Reason (R): There is strong geo-political benefits in Indian Ocean and adjacent countries. Select the correct answer from the co

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true. The Indian Ocean's strategic location and rich resources provide significant geopolitical advantages, which is precisely why major powers seek to establish military bases and influence in the region. Thus, R correctly explains A.

Question 15

Which one of the following is the correct sequence of the hills of Central India located from West to East?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Satpura, Mahadeo, Maikal and Chhotanagpur. Geographically, moving from west to east in Central India, the Satpura Range is followed by the Mahadeo Hills (a part of the Satpura system), then the Maikal Range (the eastern extension of Satpura), and finally the Chhotanagpur Plateau further to the east. Therefore, the correct sequence is Satpura, Mahadeo, Maikal, and Chhotanagpur.
