    Ans (c) Lala Lajpat Rai

    Lala Lajpat Rai was a prolific writer and a nationalist leader of India. He was famously called the “Lion of Punjab”.
    His biographies of Mazzini, Garibaldi, and Shivaji were published in 1896, and those of Dayanand and Shri Krishna in 1898. His purpose in selecting Mazzini and Garibaldi was to infuse patriotic sentiment in the youth of Punjab, who had no access to books in English.
    He travelled to the US in 1907 and noted sociological similarities between the notion of ‘colour-caste’ there and within castes in India. He joined the Swaraj Party in 1926 and was elected as its Deputy Leader in the Central Legislative Assembly.

    Ans (b) Lengths of sides of a right-angled triangle

    Baudhayan Sulv Sutra (1000 BC) is today known as the Pythogorus theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

    In Baudhayan theorem, this has been expressed as follows:
    In a Deerghchatursh (triangle), the chetra (square) of rajju (hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of squares of the parshvamani (base) and triyangmani (perpendicular line).

    Remarkably, the Pythagorus theorem was known in our country as far back as 1000 BC.
