Sample questions from this paper

  1. Social Science · Medieval Indian History · medium

    Kitab-ul-Yamini, also called Tarikh-i-Yamini, which chronicles the campaigns of Mahmud of Ghazni, was written by

    महमूद गजनवी के अभियानों का वृत्तांत देने वाली किताब-उल-यामिनी, जिसे तारीख-ए-यामिनी भी कहा जाता है, किसने लिखी?

    • AUtbiउत्बी
    • BFirdausiफिरदौसी
    • CAl-Biruniअलबरूनी
    • DBaihaqiबैहाकी

    Explanation

    Utbi, a secretary at the Ghaznavid court, wrote the Kitab-ul-Yamini in Arabic. Firdausi composed the Shahnama, Al-Biruni the Kitab-ul-Hind and Baihaqi a history of Mahmud's successors.

    गजनवी दरबार के सचिव उत्बी ने अरबी में किताब-उल-यामिनी लिखी। फिरदौसी ने शाहनामा, अलबरूनी ने किताब-उल-हिंद तथा बैहाकी ने महमूद के उत्तराधिकारियों का इतिहास लिखा।

  2. General Awareness · Geography · medium

    The narrow strip of land that joins the north-eastern states to the rest of India, often called the 'Chicken's Neck', lies in

    पूर्वोत्तर राज्यों को शेष भारत से जोड़ने वाली वह सँकरी पट्टी, जिसे प्रायः 'चिकन नेक' कहा जाता है, किस राज्य में है?

    • AWest Bengalपश्चिम बंगाल
    • BBiharबिहार
    • CAssamअसम
    • DSikkimसिक्किम

    Explanation

    The Siliguri corridor runs through the northern districts of West Bengal, pinched between Nepal and Bangladesh, and every road and rail link to the north-east passes along it. Sikkim lies beyond the corridor and is itself reached through it.

    सिलीगुड़ी गलियारा पश्चिम बंगाल के उत्तरी जिलों से होकर जाता है और नेपाल तथा बांग्लादेश के बीच सिमटा हुआ है; पूर्वोत्तर तक की हर सड़क और रेल इसी से गुजरती है। सिक्किम गलियारे के आगे है और स्वयं उसी के रास्ते पहुँचा जाता है।

  3. Social Science · Medieval Indian History · medium

    Which Mughal emperor was known to his contemporaries as Zinda Pir, the living saint?

    किस मुग़ल सम्राट को उसके समकालीन 'ज़िंदा पीर', अर्थात् जीवित संत, कहते थे?

    • AAurangzebऔरंगज़ेब
    • BAkbarअकबर
    • CHumayunहुमायूँ
    • DShah Jahanशाहजहाँ

    Explanation

    Aurangzeb lived with great personal austerity, copied the Quran and stitched caps for his own maintenance, and so was called Zinda Pir, the living saint. The title has nothing to do with Akbar, whose religious policy ran in the opposite direction.

    औरंगज़ेब अत्यंत सादगी से रहता था, क़ुरान की प्रतिलिपि करता और टोपियाँ सीकर अपना निर्वाह करता था, इसी कारण उसे 'ज़िंदा पीर' कहा गया। यह उपाधि अकबर से संबंधित नहीं है, जिसकी धार्मिक नीति इसके विपरीत दिशा में थी।
