The chiefs under Kakatiyas like nayakas under Vijayanagara kings, usually collected several taxes and dues from farmers, herders and craftspersons. The Kakatiya chiefs enjoyed the ownership of the land and got it cultivated for them by tenants. But nayakas of Vijayanagara were given land assignments by the king. 

The Kakatiya chiefs spent more of their income on their own comfort than to maintain armies. Whereas the nayakas spent more of their income to maintain armies. Like the Nayakas of Vijayanagara, the Kakatiya chiefs also built tanks and provided other facilities to enable farmers to bring more land under cultivation. Both the officers had to maintain the stipulated number of armies. Unlike the chiefs, the nayakas of Vijayanagara had the other obligations of the judiciary.

But the nayankara system of Kakatiya is very much similar to amaranayaka system of the Vijayanagara kingdom.

The three types of movements or flows within the international economic exchange are trade flows, human capital flows and capital flows or investments. These can be explained as—the trade in agricultural products, migration of labour, and financial loans to and from other nations.
India was a hub of trade in the pre-modern world, and it exported textiles and spices in return for gold and silver from Europe. Many different foods such as potatoes, soya, groundnuts, maize, tomatoes, chillies and sweet potatoes came to India from the Americas after Columbus discovered it.
In the field of labour, indentured labour was provided for mines, plantations and factories abroad, in huge numbers, in the nineteenth century. This was an instrument of colonial domination by the British.
Lastly, Britain took generous loans from USA to finance the World War. Since India was an English colony, the impact of these loan debts was felt in India too. The British government increased taxes, interest rates, and lowered the prices of products it bought from the colony. Indirectly, but strongly, this affected the Indian economy and people.

Through the western ports war horses from Arabia and Portugal could be im¬ported. Guns were another strategic good Jhat was obtained through the ports. The Portuguese had established their power over some parts of the west coast such as Goa. Krishnadevaraya maintained friendly relationships with the Portuguese in order to get a supply of horses and firearms from them. So the Vijayanagara army was dependent upon imports from the western coasts.

This movement was started by Mahatma Gandhi in March 1930 in India, in response to the Salt law imposed by the British government. This law stated that the price of salt would be increased to a thousand times. Gandhiji thought that salt is a basic necessity of life which is required by everyone. This was a nonviolent form of protest centred around Salt.

Due to depression

The Great Depression in 1929 had a major effect on prices, income, and production of goods in many countries. India also faced many such negative effects in the rural segments. One such effect was the decline in the wheat prices. It fell to almost 50% during 1928-1934. This, in turn, worsened the plight of the farmers. There was a large amount of unused crop and nobody to purchase it.

The export of fine Indian textile to England had declined in the 19th century due to the spread of the Industrial Revolution in the latter. This has led to an increase in the production of machine-made textile by the British industries. They, in turn, forced their government to restrict trade with other countries.

Mother tells Neel about his Grandpa to make him realize that Grandpa had many more daily chores to finish than him, Neel, and much tougher ones too. He also had to make his bed, just like Neel would have to.

Answer is (C) Devaraya II

No, it was not enough to use it for hiding some soldiers. The Greeks wanted their entry into the city with all their army men. Unless the walls around the city were broken down they would not have got that opportunity. That’s why they made the horse very large and lured the Trojans to take it inside the city by breaking the walls.

I would certainly prefer my life of today. It is more interesting and I have more freedom. Life at any time without the computer, the TV and the mobile phone would have been terribly dull and boring. Oh, yes, life today is much better than it could have been in 3000 BCE.

Correct option is A) kilometers
 

Given that 3x +4y = 7

Substituting x = 0 in this equation, we get

3 x 0 +4y = 7

y = 7/4

So, (0, 7/4) is a solution of the given equation substituting x = 1, in given equation, we get

3 x 1 +4y = 7

4y = 7-3

4y = 4

y = 1

So, (1, 1) is a solution of the given equation 

(0, 7/4) and (1, 1) are the solutions for the given equation.

We have

x = 6y

Substituting y = 0 in this equation, we get x = 6 x 0 = 0

So, (0, 0) is a function of the given equation substituting y =1, in the given equation, we set x = 6 x 1 = 6

So, (6, 1) is a solution of the given equation. 

we obtain (0,0) and (6,1) as solutions of the given equation.

Fractions obtained on multiplying or dividing both numerator and denominator of a given fraction by the same non-zero number, and the given fraction are called equivalent fractions.

Correct option is  A) 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) 

1/5 ÷ 4 is equal to 1/20

Correct answer is (d)  (2 x 5)/(7 x 9)

Correct option is  C) \(\frac{20}{90}\)

Correct answer is (a) (p + q)/(r +s)
