The correct answer is 1943.

Key Points

• The Satara Parallel government in Maharashtra from August 1943 to May 1946 against British rule was a legendary chapter in the glorious freedom struggle of India.
• It was an armed offshoot of the 1942 Quit India movement, like the parallel governments in Bengal, Bhagalpur etc.
• The leader of this government was Kratisimha Nana Patil.
• British rule was overthrown in most parts of Satara.
• The Parallel government (Prati Sarkar) movement was a guerilla type of Western Maharashtra during those three years.

 Thus, we can say that the parallel government (Prati Sarkar) was established in Satara, Maharashtra in the year 1943.

The correct answer is 'to sold their land'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'to sell their land' should be used instead of 'to sold their land'.
• The pronoun 'his' should be used because it agrees with the main subject i.e., 'Raman'.
• We know that after 'to' infinitive 'the base form of the verb is used'. So, 'sell' should be used in place of 'sold'.
• Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence: Raman went with his wife to the village to sell their land.

If a number is divisible by both 5 and 7 then the number is divisible by 35.

∴ The first number to be divisible by 35 is 35 and last is 105.

⇒ Let a = 35, d = 35 and An = 105

⇒ 105 = 35 + (n - 1)35                                    ∵ n is the no. of numbers divisible by 35.

⇒ 105 - 35 = 35n - 35

⇒ n = 105 / 35 = 3

∴ there are 3 numbers divisible by both 5 and 7 between 11 and 131.

Explanation:

Oxides of nitrogen

• When fossil fuel is burnt,In an automobile engine, (at high temperature) dinitrogen and dioxygen combine to yield significant quantities of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide ( NO₂ ).

• NO reacts instantly with oxygen to give NO₂

• The irritant red haze in the traffic and congested places is due to oxides of nitrogen.

• Higher concentrations of NO2 damage the leaves of plants and retard the rate of photosynthesis.

• Nitrogen oxides also cause acute respiratory disorders.

Correct option is oxides of nitrogen

Additional InformationOxides of Sulphur

• They causes respiratory diseases e.g., asthma, bronchitis, emphysema in human beings.
• Sulphur dioxide causes irritation to the eyes, resulting in tears and redness.
• High concentration of SO₂ gas is responsible for stiffness of flower buds which eventually fall off from plants.

The correct answer is 'He was seen climbing over the fence'.

Key Points 

• The given sentence is in the active voice.
• To change the given sentence in the passive voice. We will do the following changes:
• 'climbing over the fence' will not be changed as it is an independent clause.
• 'They saw him' will be changed into 'He was seen'.
• Hence the correct sentence will be "He was seen climbing over the fence'"

The correct answer will be Option 2.

Shortcut Trick

Rate % = [(n − 1) × 100] ÷ Time

Here, the sum becomes 5 times itself, so n = 5.

Time given is 16 years.

Rate % = [(5 − 1) × 100] ÷ 16 = 400 ÷ 16

Rate % = 25%

∴ Answer = 25%

Alternate Method 

Given:

Principal (P) = Let it be P

Amount (A) = 5 × P = 5P

Time (T) = 16 years

Formula used:

Simple Interest (SI) = Amount − Principal

SI = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

 Initial (P) Final (5P) T = 16 Years  Interest (SI) = 4P

Calculations:

SI = 5P − P = 4P

⇒ 4P = (P × R × 16) ÷ 100 ⇒ 4 = (R × 16) ÷ 100 ⇒ 16R = 400 ⇒ R = 400 ÷ 16 ⇒ R = 25% ∴ The correct answer is 25 (Option 2).

Additional Information

Simple Interest Formula

SI = (P × R × T) ÷ 100, where P is Principal, R is Rate per annum, and T is Time in years.

Sum Becomes n Times

For a sum to become n times itself, the Interest earned must be (n − 1) × Principal.

Compound Interest Amount

Under compound interest, the Amount A = P(1 + R ÷ 100)^T, where interest is calculated on the updated principal each period.

Relationship between R and T

For a fixed multiple n, Rate and Time are inversely proportional: R × T = (n − 1) × 100.

Intense light is called Tint.

Key Points

• In color theory, a tint is a mixture of a color with white. Which increases lightness.
• For example, pink is a tint of red, and light blue is a tint of blue.
• Tint refers to any hue or mixture of pure colors to which white color is added. Pastel colors are generally tinted colors. The tinted color remains the same color, but it is paler than the original. For example, pink is a tint of red, and light blue is a tint of blue.​​
