    Ans (d) Constitution Amendment Bill

    A Constitutional Amendment can only be initiated by the introduction of a bill in either House of Parliament, not in State Legislatures.
    The Bill can be filed by either a Minister or a Private Member, and no previous authorization from the President is required.
    The law must be carried by a special majority in each House, which is a majority of the entire membership of the House plus a majority of two-thirds of the members present and voting.
    The law must be passed separately by each House. There is no provision for calling a joint sitting of the two Houses for the purpose of consideration and passing of the bill if the two Houses disagree.

    Ans (c) there was no Indian Member in the Simon Commission

    In November 1927, the British Government appointed the Indian statutory commission, popularly known as Simon Commission, under the chairmanship of Sir John Simon. All the members of the commission were Britisheres. There was no Indian Member in the Simon Commission. This announcement led to protests against the commission from all over India. The people of India were angered due to exclusion of Indians from the commission. The basic notion behind this exclusion was that foreigners would discuss and decide upon India’s fitness for self-government.

    Ans (c) Rock-cult Elephant at Dhauli

    Rock-cult Elephant at Dhauli was built during the reign of Ashoka in 250 BC. Rock-cut Elephant above the Edicts is the earliest Buddhist sculpture of Odisha. The stone elephant shows the animals foreparts only, though it has a fine sense of form and movement. It is considered as one of the few remains of Mauryan art.

    Varaha Image at Udayagiri was built by Chandragupta II of the Gupta Empire. The iconic Varaha sculpture represents the story of the rescue of Bhudevi (Earth). In Udayagiri, in the early 5th century, artisans began work under the patronage of the mighty Gupta ruler Chandragupta II Vikramaditya (375-414 AD), creating a cave temple complex.

    Rock-cut Monuments at Mahabalipuram were built during the 7th-8th century AD during the reign of Pallavas. The Rock-cut Monuments at Mahabalipuram were made by the Pallava king Narsimha. The beauty of the rock-cut sculpture of the temple is reflective of the artistic tastes of the erstwhile Pallava rulers.

    Lingaraja Temple at Bhubneshwar was built by Yayati (1025-1040) in the 11th century AD. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is considered the largest temple in Bhubaneswar city. It is believed to have been built by the Somvanshi King Yayati I. It is a classic example of the Kalinga style of architecture.

    Ans (a) Tamralipti

    Tamralipti port handled the north Indian trade during the Gupta period.
    Gupta Empire had strong international and internal trade despite a fall in Roman trade. Riverine trade was also executed through rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra, Narmada, Krishna etc. The important ports included Tamralipti, Braoch (Bharuch), Kalyan, and Cambay. The main trade items were spices, pearls, gold, horses, etc.
    Tamralipti port controlled the north Indian trade. It was located near the Rupnarayana river. Tamralipta or Tamralipti was the name of an ancient city on the Bay of Bengal corresponding with Tamluk in modern-day India. Tamralipti may have been one of the most important urban centres of trade and commerce of early historic India, trading along the Silk Road with China, by Uttarapatha, the northern high road, the main trade route into the Middle East and Europe, and by seafaring routes to Bali, Java, and the Far East.
