101. (A) At his coronation in January 1708,Sahu conferred upon BalajiVishwanath, the title of Sena-Karte(maker of the army) and eventuallyelevated him to the post of Peshwa in1713.With Balaji’s appointment as thePeshwa, the office of the Peshwabecame hereditary and Balaji andhis successors became the de-facto

rulers of the Maratha kingdom. Fromnow onwards the Chhatrapati becamejust a figure-head.Balaji’s success in Delhi greatlyincreased his power and prestige.Balaji Vishwanath is rightly called thesecond founder of the Maratha state. Balaji was credited with “the masteryof finance”.

102. (B) The Fundamental Duties of citizenswere added to the Constitution by the42nd Amendment in 1976, upon therecommendations of the SwaranSingh Committee that was constitutedby the government earlier that year.Originally ten in number, theFundamental Duties were increasedto eleven by the 86th Amendment in2002, which added a duty on everyparent or guardian to ensure that theirchild or ward was provided opportunitiesfor education between the ages of sixand fourteen years.In the article 51 (A) of IndianConstitution, the provision forfundamental duties has been made.

103. (A) A person with vision defect "Myopia"can see nearby object clearly.Myopia is a Greek word and it meanstrying to see like a mole. It is acondition of the eye where the lightthat comes in does not directly focuson the retina but in front of it, causingthe image that one sees when lookingat a close object.Myopia presents with blurry distanceregion, but generally gives well nearvision.Myopia can be corrected by wearingglasses with concave lenses that helpto focus the image on the retina.

104. (A) In Assam the Revolt of 1857 resultedin a wave of anti-British sentimentsamong the so called nobility andpeasant community. Initiallyestablishment of the British rule inAssam had been welcome by thepeople. While the nobility hoped thattheir lost rights and privileges wouldbe restored by the British administration,the general people were glad to get ridof the depredations of the Burmesearmy. The Burmese King according tothe treaty of Yandaboo in 1826 had

==================================================================================

relinquished his hold over Assam. Butthe hopes and aspirations of thenobility were soon belied as the Britishpursued a policy that adverselyaffected not only the nobility but allother classes of people as well. Whilethe ryots were burdened with taxes thenobility had been brought down to thelevel of the ordinary ryots by the endof the Paik system. It was in theseadverse conditions that ManiramBarua, popularly known as ManiramDewan, an Assamese noblemanplanned to stage a revolt simultaneouslywith that of the Revolt of 1857.

105. (C) Benguela Current, oceanic currentthat is a branch of the West WindDrift of the Southern Hemisphere. Itflows northward in the South AtlanticOcean along the west coast ofsouthern Africa nearly to the Equatorbefore merging with the westward-flowing Atlantic South EquatorialCurrent. The prevailing southerly andsouthwesterly winds produce upwellingof water with a cool temperature, arelatively low salinity, and a highconcentration of plankton, creatingexcellent fishing grounds. Very coldAntarctic bottom water is preventedfrom flowing far north by the WalvisRidge, a submarine feature thatextends southwestward from off CapeFria, Namibia, towards Gough Island.Coastal areas adjacent to the currentexperience a desert like aridity thatis not broken by the common seabreezes because of their cooltemperature and low moisturecontent.

106. (D)107. (A) The Usual Status approach to

measuring unemployment uses areference period of 365 days i.e. oneyear preceding the date of the survey ofNSSO for measuring unemployment.The Current Daily Status approach tomeasuring unemployment seeks toascertain the activity status of anindividual for each day of thereference week. I t reports timedisposition of an individual on eachday of the reference week.If CDS is higher than UPS it meansthat the person did get work in a

particular period of the year but notthroughout the year. In an economywhich is not going through majorstructural change, it indicatespresent of seasonal unemployment.For example, in India unemploymentaccording to CDS is higher than UPSbecause a large portion of labor forceis employed in agriculture, whichbecomes workless after the agriculturalperiod is over.

108. (B) German silver, is the name forvarious alloys of copper, zinc, andnickel, sometimes also containinglead and tin. They were originallynamed for their silver-white color, butuse of the term silver is now prohibitedfor alloys not containing that metal.German silver varies in composition,the percentage of the three elementsranging approximately as follows:copper, from 50% to 61.6%; zinc, from19% to 17.2%; nickel, from 30% to21.1%. The proportions are alwaysspecified in commercial alloys.German silver is extensively usedbecause of its hardness, toughness,and resistance to corrosion forarticles such as tableware (commonlysilver plated), marine fittings, andplumbing fixtures. Because of its highelectrical resistance it is used also inheating coils. It was discovered (early19th cent.) by a German industrialchemist, E. A. Geitner.
