- A. Only I and II are correct.
- B. Only II and III are correct.
- C. Only III and IV are correct.
- D. Only II and IV are correct.
Only statements II and IV are correct. Mahavira was the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, and the principle of ahimsa (non-violence) is central to Jain teachings. Statement I is wrong because Mahavira was born in the 6th century BCE, not the 5th century CE. Statement III is wrong because Jains do not worship Lord Shiva as Mahavira; Mahavira is revered as a Tirthankara.
- A. Kanvas – Successors of Mauryas
- B. Mauryas – Successors of Mahapadmananda
- C. Satvahanas – Successors of Kushanas
- D. Shakas – Successors of Chalukyas
Kanvas were the successors of the Mauryas, so option A is correctly matched. The other pairs are incorrect: Mauryas were not successors of Mahapadmananda; rather, the Mauryan dynasty followed the Nandas. Satvahanas were not successors of the Kushanas, and Shakas were not successors of the Chalukyas.
- A. I, IV, III, II
- B. IV, II, III, I
- C. II, III, I, IV
- D. III, I, IV, II
The correct chronological order is Paleolithic Age, Mesolithic Age, Neolithic Age, and Chalcolithic Age. Therefore the correct sequence is IV, II, III, I, which is option B. Paleolithic is the earliest stone age, followed by Mesolithic, then Neolithic, and finally Chalcolithic, when copper began to be used along with stone.
- A. I, IV, III, II
- B. IV, II, III, I
- C. II, III, I, IV
- D. III, I, IV, II
The question is incomplete because the statements/items to be arranged are missing. Therefore, the correct chronological order cannot be determined from the information provided. Please include the four items (I, II, III, IV) for an exact answer.

Log in to view solution →What taluqdars thought The attitude of the taluqdars was best expressed by Hanwant Singh, the Raja of Kalakankar, near Rae Bareli. During the mutiny, Hanwant Singh had given shelter to a British officer, and conveyed him to safety. While taking leave of the officer, Hanwant Singh told him : Sahib, your countrymen came into this country. You sent your officers round the districts to examine the titles to the estates. At one blow you took from me lands which from time immemorial had been in my family. I submitted. Suddenly misfortune fell upon you. The people of the land rose against you. You came to me whom you had despoiled. I have saved you. But now – now I march at the head of my retainers to Lucknow to try and drive you from the country.

Log in to view solution →A Mother’s Advice The Mahabharata describes how, when war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas became almost inevitable, Gandhari made one last appeal to her eldest son Duryodhana. By making peace you honour your father and me, as well as your well-wishers… it is the wise man in control of his senses who guards his kingdom. Greed and anger drag a man away from his profits; by defeating these two enemies a king conquers the earth… You will happily enjoy the earth, my son, along with the wise and heroic Pandavas…. There is no good in a war, no law (dharma) and profit (artha), let alone happiness; nor is there (necessarily) victory in the end – don’t set your mind on war... Duryodhana did not listen to this advice and fought and lost the war.
