WHO is not at Paris, UNESCO at not at Washington, and ILO not at London. Therefore alternative 2 is the answer. 2. 3 Lahore Declaration took place in 1929, Tashkent Declaration in 1966, creation of Bangladesh in 1971, and Shimla Agreement in 1972. Therefore alternative 3 is the answer. 3 2 16% of the World Population means 1/6th of the population, which implies that every 6th person is an Indian. 4 4 Australia has a large area of land but is sparsely populated. All the other three countries are thickly populated. Therefore, the answer is alternative 4. 5 3 The answer key gives the clue. 6 3 Warren Hastings was associated with dual Government in Bengal, Col. Olcott with Theosophical Society of India, Lord Ripon with the Local Self Government and Tipu Sultan with the French Revolution. The answer therefore is at alternative 3, which shows the correct matching. 7 2 In this question you have to reason out which statements are true. Here the first statement is not true, as the Modern Age could not come into existence suddenly. Hence, alternative 2 is correct which shows that statements b and c are true. 8 2 This question is based on a given passage. You have to find out which revolutions the passage is referring to. For the first revolution the hint is given in the passage. It involved 13 English Colonies, where the settlers were from

England. You will realize that their colonies were located in America. So one Revolution is American Revolution, and the second one is French Revolution as it was important in shaping the modern world. The Russian Revolution and the Chinese Revolution took place in 20 th Century only. So the answer is alternative 2. 9 2 This question is related to the first question. You can reason it out because the 13 colonies mentioned here were in America. So the answer is 2. 14 10 4 The rest of the questions you may reason out yourself. 11 3 12 1 13 2 14 1 15 3
