Answers Set - 1 (GS Paper)

1. Ans: (b)
Alexanders invasion paved the way for the

expansion of the Mauryan empire in that area.
Explanation: Iran was the first foreign

country to annex north western parts of India.
Iranian ruler Darius penetrated into northwest in 516 BC. Indo-Iranian contact lasted
for about 200 years. Iranian scribes brought
into India a form of writing which came to
be known as the Kharoshti script. It was
written from right to left like the Arabic.
It helped to build Indian chronology for

subsequent events on a definite basis.
Alexanders historians also give us important
information about socio economic conditions
like sati system, sale of girls in open market
and special skills of Indian artisans.
4. Ans: (b)
Some Ashokan inscriptions were written in

this script which continued to be used in
the country till the third century AD.
Explanation: NBPW culture began in 6th C

BC. It marked the beginning of second
urbanization in India because Harappan
civilization had already seen the first
urbanization in India. NBPW pottery was
made of very fine fabric and apparently served
the tableware of richer people. The punch
marked coins began during this period. The
earliest were made up of silver and copper.
They were punched with marks like hill, tree,
fish, bull and elephant, crescent, etc.
It seems through the Iranians the Greeks

came to know about the great wealth of India
which attracted eventually Alexander and led
to his Invasion of India.
2. Ans: (c)
Explanation: Herodotus, who is called Father
of History, and other Greek Writers had
painted India as a fabulous land, which
tempted Alexander to invade it.
5. Ans: (d)
Explanation: The punch marked coins
appeared for the first time in the Indian
history during 6th C BC. It was the age of
Buddha. The earliest punch marked coins were
made up of Silver and Copper. They were
punched with marks like hill, tree, fish, bull
and elephant, crescent, etc.
The north western parts of India were

parceled out into many independent
monarchies and tribal republics. Alexander
found it easy to conquer these principalities
one by one.
After the conquest of Iran, Alexander moved
on to Kabul from where he marched to India
through the Khyber Pass in 326 BC.
This metal money helped the growth of trade

and commerce in the age of Buddha and it
was also the age of second urbanization in
the Indian history after Harappan urban
civilization.
3. Ans: (c)
Explanation: By destroying the power of
petty states in north western parts,
36
6. Ans: (c)
created by means of a wax model. Once the

mold is made, the wax model is melted and
drained away.
Explanation: To consolidate his power,

Balban assumed the title Zil-i-Ilahi (Shadow
of God). Though it was not an Islamic
tradition, Balban was influenced from the
pre Islamic Iranian practices. This shows that
Delhi sultanates did not practice Islamic
principles rigidly and used religion mainly
for consolidating their power.
11. Ans: (c)

Explanation: In 1781, Warren Hastings set
up the Calcutta Madarasa for the study and
teaching of Muslim law and related subjects.
In 1791, Jonathan Duncan started a Sanskrit
College at Varanasi, where he was the
Resident, for the study of Hindu Law and
Philosophy. In 1817, David Hare, who had
come out to India in 1800 as a watchmaker
but who spent his entire life in the promotion
of modern education in the country, founded
the famous Hindu College.
7. Ans: (c)

Bakshi

12. Ans: (b)

saman
In 1866, Dadabhai Naoroji organised the East

Explanation: Ports in India are classified as

Act, 1908.
20. Ans: (c)

Explanation: The concept of APA is related
with that of transfer pricing. It has been
covered in the last test. We repeat it here
again.
Major Ports are under the Union list of the

Indian Constitution and are administered
under the Indian Ports Act 1908 and the
Major Port Trust Act, 1963. Each major port
is governed by a Board of Trustees appointed
by the Government of India.
In the past, several Multi-National Companies

(MNCs) operating in India were often accused
of misusing the transfer pricing system. MNCs
like Vodafone, Shell, WNS and Nokia were
mainly involved in this issue by misusing the
system for transferring profits to their
subsidiaries in countries having low tax rates.
The tariffs for major ports are fixed by the

Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP).
Minor operates are managed at the State level
by the department in charge of ports or the
State Maritime Board, if created, as is the
case in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
By signing APAs, Government is seeking to

foster an environment of co-operation in
matters of taxation through predictability
of laws and reducing litigation cases in future.
It is considered as a major push towards
providing certainty to foreign investors in
the arena of transfer pricing.
The functions of the State maritime boards

are similar to those of port trusts, and also
include the authority to set tariffs. They also
focus on attracting private investment by
awarding concession contracts, providing
incentives, exclusivity rights and assuring land
acquisition.

young, helping them understand how galaxies
form. It found protoplanetary disks, clumps
of gas and dust around young stars that likely
function as birthing grounds for new planets.

strange, incredibly powerful explosions of
energy occur in far-distant galaxies when
massive stars collapse. A supernova is the
