Ahmad Shah Abdali invaded India for the fifth time in October 175 to avenge their expulsion of Timur Shah.
The Third Battle of Panipat took place on 14 January 1761, at Panipat, about 60 miles (95.5 km) north of Delhi, between a northern expeditionary force of the Maratha Empire and a coalition of the King of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Durrani (also called Ahmad Shah Abdali), with two Indian Muslim allies—the Rohilla Afghans of the Doab, and Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Oudh.
Ahmed Shah Abdali won this battle.

Ans (d): Karma
According to the Mimamsa system of philosophy, liberation is possible by means of Karma. It was started by Jaimini.
Mimamsa is a Sanskrit word that means “reflection” or “critical investigation” and thus refers to a tradition of contemplation which reflected on the meanings of certain Vedic texts. This tradition was also known as Purva Mimamsa because of its focus on the earlier (Purva) Vedic texts dealing with ritual actions, and similarly as, Karma-Mimamsa, due to its focus on ritual action (karma). It is one of six Vedic “affirming” (Astika) schools of Hinduism. This particular school is known for its philosophical theories on the nature of dharma, based on the hermeneutics of the Vedas, especially the Brahmanas and Saṃhitas. The Mimamsa school was foundational and influential for the Vedantic schools, which were also known as Uttara-Mimansa for their focus on the “later” (Uttara) portions of the Vedas, the Upanishads. While both “earlier” and “later” Mimamsa investigate the aim of human action, they do so with different attitudes towards the necessity of ritual praxis.
The Purva Mimnsa explains the Dharma as a “virtue”, “morality” or “duty”. Dharma is essentially ritualism. There is a great significance of Karma (or action) in attaining Dharma. Mimamsa’s system of Philosophy emphasizes the doctrine of Karma. It says that liberation is possible by means of performing “Karma”.

Anuvrata was the five main teachings of Jainism: Ahimsa, Asateya, Aparigraha, Satya, and Brahmacharya. The anuvratas are vows to abstain from violence, falsehood, and stealing; to be content with one’s own wife; and to limit one’s possessions. The other vows are supplementary and meant to strengthen and protect the anuvratas.
Ans (d) 8 '7A3' is divisible by 3 only when the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. Rule of Divisible of 3 7 + A + 3 = 10 + A Now, (10 + A) would be divisible by 3, for A = 2, 5, 8 As per the question, 136 + 5B7 = 7A3 5B7 = 7A3 - 136 For A = 2, 5B7 = 723 - 136 = 587 B = 8 Hence, B = 8.
Ans (d) 8
‘7A3’ is divisible by 3 only when the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Rule of Divisible of 3
7 + A + 3 = 10 + A
Now, (10 + A) would be divisible by 3, for A = 2, 5, 8
As per the question,
136 + 5B7 = 7A3
5B7 = 7A3 – 136
For A = 2,
5B7 = 723 – 136 = 587
B = 8
Hence, B = 8.
Ans (c) 4 Let the two-digit natural number = 10x + y On reversing its digit, the number formed = 10y+x As per the question, (10x + y)/(10y+y) = 4/7 7(10x+y) = 4(10y+x) 70x + 7y = 40y + 4x 66x = 33y 2x = y Therefore, such pairs are 12, 24, 36, 48 The number of such pairs is 4.
Ans (c) 4
Let the two-digit natural number = 10x + y
On reversing its digit, the number formed = 10y+x
As per the question,
(10x + y)/(10y+y) = 4/7
7(10x+y) = 4(10y+x)
70x + 7y = 40y + 4x
66x = 33y
2x = y
Therefore, such pairs are 12, 24, 36, 48
The number of such pairs is 4.

The Quit India Movement, also known as August Kranti Movement, began on 8th August 1942. It was launched after the failure of Cripps Mission.
The British Government sent a delegation to India under Sir Stafford Cripps to negotiate with the Indian National Congress (INC) a deal to obtain complete cooperation during the Second World War in return for progressive devolution and distribution of the power from the British Crown and the Viceroy to an elected Indian Legislature. However, the talks failed, as they did not address the Key demand of a timetable of self-government and of the definition of the powers to be relinquished, essentially making an offer of limited dominion status that was entirely unacceptable to the Indian Movement.
