While determining the location of the tube well, the value of the easting to the left of it (84) is to be written first. Then divide the area upto the next easting into 10 equal parts and find the exact division on which the tube well is located and write it next to the value of easting already found (847). Next write the value of northing just below the tube well along with the easting’s value (84735). Then divide the area upto the next northing into 10 equal parts and find the exact division on which the tube well is located and write it with the values already written (847354). Thus 847354 is the 6 figure grid reference of the tube well.

Physical features Water bodies such as rivers, streams, springs, etc.

Different landforms 

Contour lines, forests, elevations in different ways (Spot height, Benchmark, triangulated height)

Cultural features 

Man made’ features, settlements, different types of roads, boundaries, places of worship, agricultural lands, post office, police station, bridges, etc. are a few cultural features shown in toposheets.

In topographical map interpretation, if any two places are mutually visible, it is called intervisibility.

Advantage 

Intervisibility assessment is applied for erecting electric posts, mobile towers, wireless transmission towers, etc. 

For assessing the intervisibility, the shape of the terrain must be inferred from the contour lines. From the shape of the terrain, if two places are mutually visible, we can establish that these places are intervisible.

The correct answer is 1676 AD.

• Raj Prashasti was carved in 1676 AD.
• This commendation was carved by Maharaja Raj Singh.
• This was engraved in the Sanskrit language on 25 black stones lying in the eyes of the nine outposts of Rajsamand lake.

The factors influencing atmospheric pressure are temperature, altitude and humidity. Temperature, altitude and humidity are inversely proportional to atmospheric pressure. As temperature, altitude and humidity increase, pressure decreases. In other words, as temperature, altitude and humidity decrease, pressure increases.

Correct option is (3) B & D

As height increases, the amount of air decreases. So required amount of air will not be available at high altitudes.

• The ratification of air with altitude is the reason for decrease in pressure. 
• The rate at which pressure decreases is 1 Mb per an altitude of 10 m.

The correct answer is Khandwa.

• Omakareshwar Temple has located 78 km from Khandwa district nearest place to reach this temple. This temple belongs to Lord Shiva(Mahadev). The shape of the island where the temple is situated is said to be like the (Devanagari ॐ) symbol shape.
• This is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India. It is a very famous Omkar Madhata temple which was built in the Brahmin style on the confluence of Cauvery and Narmada river.
• The Government of Madhya Pradesh Tourism Department declared this temple as a holy heritage site of the state.

The correct answer is Khandwa.

• The Mandhata village fair is organized in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh state.
• This fair is organized in the month of Kartik (August-September).
• In this fair, the netizens of this region gather to worship Lord Shiva. 

When temperature increases air gets heated and expands. The expanded air is less dense and it ascends. This leads to lowering of pressure. When temperature decreases, air becomes dense and descends.

This will increase atmospheric pressure. So there is an inverse relationship between temperature and pres sure. When altitude increases air becomes rarefied. So it exerts less pressure. But when altitude decreases earth gravity pulls the gas molecules towards the ground.

So air becomes dense and it exert high pressure. Humidity means the amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere. Water vapor is lighter than air. If the amount of water vapor is more in a unit volume of air, then atmospheric pressure will be less because moist air contains less oxygen and nitrogen and exerts less pressure. While dry air exerts high pressure as it contains more oxygen and nitrogen.

(1) The rulers ,who patronised the Dargah;

(i) Muhammad bin Tughlaq , Sultan Ghiyasuddin Khalji of Malwa,Akbar 

(2) The concept of Ziyarat,in context to the source: 

(i)Pilgrimage to tombs of sufi saints 

(ii) Seeking the sufi’s spiritual grace (barakat) 

(iii) People of various creeds, classes and social backgrounds have expressed their devotion at the dargahs 

(3) The devotees showed their reverence at the Dargah by : 

(i) Reciting the zikr 

(ii) Evoking His Presence through sama 

(iii) Mystical chants performed by specially trained musicians or qawwals to evoke divine ecstasy

Air expands when it gets heated. The expanded air is less dense and hence it ascends. This results in lowering of atmospheric pressure.

The ascending air spreads to the sides and cools. On cooling, it becomes dense and descends. As a result, atmospheric pressure increases.

As temperature increases, pressure decreases and as temperature decreases, pressure increases.

Correct answer is D. iv, v, vi

• Westerlies are very strong and powerful in the Southern Hemisphere due to the presence of the vast oceans there. Beyond 40°S, due to the absence of landmasses, they blow with great velocity. 
• Along 40°S, westerlies are called Roaring forties. 
• Along 50°S, westerlies are called Furious Fifties and along 60°S, they are called Shrieking Sixties.

Winds with entirely different characteristics formed during certain atmospheric situations, e.g. Cyclones.

Trade winds blow from subtropical high pressure belts to equatorial low pressure belt.

Due to Coriolis force, these winds get deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. As a result, they blow towards west.

Thus trade winds blow from northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and southeast in Southern Hemisphere.

(a) 

1. Ibrahim Lodhi failed to understand the nature and habits of the Afghans.
2. He tried to discipline the Afghans but failed miserably in his policy.

The correct answer is 1526.

• The First Battle of Panipat was fought between the Last ruler of the Lodhi Dynasty Ibrahim Lodhi and the first ruler of the Mughal Empire Babur on 21st April 1526.
• The Battle of Panipat was the reason for the end of the Delhi Sultanate and the rise of the Mughal Empire rule in India.
• This was one of the first battles in Asia at that time where gunpowder firearms and field artillery was introduced for the very First time in the Indian subcontinent which was introduced by Mughals (Babur) in this battle.
• Ibrahim Lodi was killed in the battle while trying to retreat and beheaded 20,000 soldiers of Lodhi's Army were killed in the battle.

​

• Some of the battles fought are: 

[Hint : (iii) Because six F atoms protect the sulphur atom from attack by any
reagent due to steric hindrance but four F atoms in SF₄ cannot offer much steric
hindrance, hence reactive.]

 Y = MgL/πr²ΔL
Where M -- mass attached to the wire. L ,r—initial length and radius of the wire. ∆L- elongation in the wire.  

Because only solid has length and definite shape  

The value of x is 1.

Time of flight is same

⇒ vertical component of velocity is same

⇒ H_max is same

Probability of success is P = 10%  = 10/100 = 1/10

Probability of failure is q = 1 - p = 1 - 1/10 = 9/10

Probability that he required less than or equal to 50 calls to make 10 successful sales

is P(E \(\leq\) 50) = P(10) + P(11) + P(12) +.... P(50)

 = ¹⁰C₁₀(1/10)¹⁰ + ¹¹C₁₀(1/10)¹⁰ 9/10 + ¹²C₁₀(1/10)¹⁰(9/10)²+....+⁵⁰C₁₀(1/10)¹⁰(9/10)⁴⁰

(\(\because\) Minimum 10 calls are required)

\(\therefore\) probability that he needs to make more than 50 calls in P(E > 50) = 1 - p(E \(\leq\) 50)

 = 1 - ((1/10)¹⁰ + ¹¹C₁₀(1/10)¹⁰ 9/10 + ¹²C₁₀(1/10)¹⁰(9/10)²)+ ...+ ⁵⁰C₁₀(1/10)¹⁰(9/10)⁴⁰

 = 1 - (1/10)¹⁰(1 + ¹¹C₁₀9/10 + ¹²C₁₀(9/10)²+....+⁵⁰C₁₀(9/10)⁴⁰)

 \(\hat i\) is unit vector along x-axis

Let \(x\hat i + y\hat j + z\hat k\) is required vector.

\(\therefore (2\hat i- 5\hat j + 3\hat k)+ (4\hat i - 7\hat j + 4\hat k)+ (x\hat i + y\hat j + z\hat k) = \hat i\)

⇒ \(x\hat i + y\hat j + z\hat k = \hat i - (6\hat i - 12\hat j - 7\hat k)\)

\(= -5\hat i + 12\hat j-7\hat k\)

Hence, required vector is \(-5\hat i + 12\hat j - 7\hat k.\) 

Given:

Age (A + B), 6 years ago = 88

A's age 18 years ago = B's age 6 years ago

Calculation:

Let the present age of A be 'x' years and age of B be 'y' years

(x - 6) + (y - 6) = 88

⇒ x + y = 100       ---- (i)

A's age 18 years ago = B's age 6 years ago

x - 18 = y - 6

⇒ x - y = 12       ---- (ii)

Adding equation i and ii

2x = 112 or x = 56

Present age of A = x = 56 years

∴ The age of A two years hence = 56 + 2 = 58 years
