7. The quality of population depends upon :
(i) Literacy rate
(ii) Life expectancy
(iii) Skill formation
(1) only (i)
(2) (ii) and (iii) only
(3) (i) and (ii) only
(4) only (ii)
Answer:-The correct answer is (3) (i) and (ii) only.
Explanation:
Literacy rate (i):
A higher literacy rate indicates a more educated population, which can contribute to economic growth, better healthcare, and overall societal development.
Life expectancy (ii):
A higher life expectancy suggests a healthier population, which is a crucial factor in overall well-being and productivity
Skill formation (iii):
While skill formation is important for the quality of the population, it is not as directly related to literacy rate or life expectancy as they are. Skill formation is more about the acquired skills and abilities of a population, which can be developed through education and training.
Therefore, literacy rate and life expectancy are directly linked to the overall quality of a population, while skill formation is a separate factor that can enhance it.

11. The Latitudinal extent influences the duration of day and night as one moves from
(1) North to South
(2) South to North
(3) West to East
(4) East to West
Answer:- Latitudinal extent refers to the distance measured in degrees north or south of the equator. As one moves from south to north, the duration of day and night varies due to the following factors: Angle of incidence of sunlight The angle of incidence of sunlight is determined by the position of the sun in the sky. At the equator, the sun is directly overhead, resulting in almost equal day and night duration throughout the year. However, as we move towards the poles, the angle of incidence decreases, resulting in longer nights and shorter days during the winter months. Seasonal variations The tilt of the earth’s axis causes seasonal variations in day and night duration. During the summer solstice, the sun is at its highest point in the sky, resulting in longer days and shorter nights. Conversely, during the winter solstice, the sun is at its lowest point in the sky, resulting in longer nights and shorter days. Polar regions At the poles, the day and night duration is extreme. During the summer months, the sun never sets, resulting in continuous daylight. Conversely, during the winter months, the sun never rises, resulting in continuous darkness.
12. If the sun rises in Arunachal Pradesh at 4.00 A.M. then when will sun rise happen in Gujarat ?
(1) Approximately at 5:00 A.M.
(2) Approximately at 6:00 A.M.
(3) At the same time, i.e. 4.00 A.M.
(4) Approximately at 3:50 A.M.
Answer:-If the sun rises in Arunachal Pradesh at 4:00 AM, it will rise in Gujarat at 6:00 AM. This is because there is a 2-hour time difference between the two regions due to their longitudinal separation.

16. Read the following statements about Himalayan Rivers and choose the correct answer from given
options.
(i) Himalayan rivers are perennial.
(h) Himalayan rivers receive water from rain and snow.
(iii) Himalayan rivers form meanders in their upper course.
(iv) Himalayan rivers have well developed deltas.
(1) (i), (ii) and (iii)
(2) (i), (iii) and (iv)
(3) (i), (ii) and (iv)
(4) (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Answer The correct answer is (3) (i), (ii) and (iv).
Explanation:
(i) Himalayan rivers are perennial:
This is true. Himalayan rivers have a constant flow of water throughout the year due to the continuous melting of snow and glaciers in the mountains.
(ii) Himalayan rivers receive water from rain and snow:
This is also true. While rain contributes to the river’s water supply, the primary source is the melting of snow and glaciers in the Himalayas.
(iii) Himalayan rivers form meanders in their upper course:
This statement is generally considered incorrect. Meandering typically occurs in the middle and lower courses of rivers where the flow is slower and the river has a greater capacity to deposit sediment. In the upper course, with a steeper gradient and faster flow, the rivers are more focused on erosion.
(iv) Himalayan rivers have well developed deltas:
This statement is true. As the Himalayan rivers reach the plains, their speed slows down, causing them to deposit large amounts of sediment, forming well-developed deltas.
17. Read the following statements about Brahmaputra River and choose the correct answer from given options.
Statement (I) : In Tibet, the river carries high volume of water and high silt.
Statement (II) : In India, it passes through a region of high rainfall.

(2) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
(3) Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
(4) Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.
Answer:-Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
Explanation:
Statement (I) is false:
While the Brahmaputra is a large river, in Tibet (where it’s called the Tsangpo), it actually carries a smaller volume of water and less silt due to the cold and dry climate in that region.
Statement (II) is true:
In India, the Brahmaputra flows through regions with high rainfall, leading to a significantly higher volume of water and silt content compared to its Tibetan section
18. Choose the odd one out.

(2) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false
(4) (A) is false but (R) is true
Answer:- (1)Both (A) and ® are true and ® is the correct explanation of (A)
The assertion states that hills are cooler during summer times. This is true because as altitude increases, the temperature generally decreases. The reason provided supports this assertion by explaining that at higher altitudes, the atmosphere becomes less dense, which leads to a decrease in temperature. Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are valid and connected.
21. Read the following statements carefully, One of them is Assertion (A) and the other is
Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Delhi is very hot during summers & very cold during winters.
Reason (R) :Delhi is far from sea.
Choose the correct option :
(1) (A) and (R) both are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
(2) (A) and (R) both are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false
(4) (A) is false but (R) is true
Answer:- ( 1) is correct. Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason explains the assertion. Delhi’s distance from the sea leads to its extreme summer and winter temperatures, as it experiences continental climate.
Explanation:
Assertion:
Delhi experiences very hot summers and very cold winters, which is a well-known characteristic of the city’s climate.
Reason:
Delhi is located far from the sea, which means it’s not affected by the moderating influence of large bodies of water. This distance from the sea is a key factor in determining the city’s climate.
Continental Climate:
Being landlocked, Delhi experiences a continental climate, meaning it has very hot summers and very cold winters due to the lack of the moderating influence of water bodies.
Sea Distance:
The distance from the sea prevents the city from receiving the same cooling effect during summer and the same warming effect during winter that coastal areas experience.
22. Choose the correct answer from the given options about India's Latitude,
(i) Tropic of Cancer passes through middle of the country.
(h) Northern part of the country belongs to tropical area.
(iii) Southern part of the country belongs to sub-tropical area.
(1) Only (i)
(2) (i) and (iii)
(3) Only (iii)
(4) (i) and (ii)
Answer 1 is correct
The correct answer is (i) Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country.
Explanation: The Tropic of Cancer, at approximately 23.5 degrees North latitude, actually intersects the center of India, dividing it into a tropical region to the south and a subtropical region to the north.
Why other options are incorrect:
(ii) Northern part of the country belongs to tropical area:
This is incorrect because the Tropic of Cancer divides India into tropical and subtropical zones, with the southern part being tropical and the northern part being subtropical.
(iii) Southern part of the country belongs to sub-tropical area:
This is the opposite of what is true. The southern part of India lies in the tropical zone due to the Tropic of Cancer’s passage through the country’s mid-section.
23. Which of the following is true about Coriolis force ?
(1) It is an apparent force caused by Earth's gravitational force.
(2) It is an apparent force caused by Earth's rotation.
(3) It is responsible for deflecting winds towards the left in the northern hemisphere.
(4) It is responsible for deflecting winds towards the right in the southern
Answer: The correct answer is (2): It is an apparent force caused by Earth’s rotation.
Explanation: The Coriolis force is an apparent force that arises due to the Earth’s rotation, causing moving objects to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Why the other options are incorrect:
(1):
While the Coriolis force is related to Earth’s rotation, it is not caused by its gravitational force. Gravity primarily pulls objects down towards the Earth’s surface.
(3):
This statement is incorrect. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds towards the right, and towards the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
(4):
This statement is the opposite of what is true. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds towards the left.

(2) (ii) and (iii)
(3) (i), (ii) and (iv)
(4) (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Answer:-The correct answer is (3) (i), (ii) and (iv). The National Population Policy of India focuses on imparting free and compulsory school education, reducing infant mortality rate, and creating awareness about the risk of unprotected sex among adolescents. While the policy includes various measures to achieve population stabilization, it does not advocate for compulsory sterilization.
Explanation:
(i) Imparting free and compulsory school education:
The National Population Policy, 2000, provides a framework for free and compulsory school education up to 14 years of age.
(ii) Reducing infant mortality rate:
One of the key objectives of the policy is to reduce the infant mortality rate to below 30 per 1,000 live births.
(iii) Creating awareness about the risk of unprotected sex among adolescents:
The policy emphasizes the importance of educating adolescents about the risks of unprotected sex.
(iv) Compulsory sterilization to reduce birth rate:
The National Population Policy does not advocate for compulsory sterilization. Instead, it focuses on voluntary and informed choice in family planning.
25. Which of the following is true about 'enrichment plantation'?
(i) In this process, a single commercially valuable species is extensively planted.
(ii) In this process, the plantation is being done to reduce land erosion.

(2) (ii) and (iv)
(3) (i) and (ii)
(4) (iii) and (iv)
Answer:- The correct answer is (i) and (iii).
Explanation:
Enrichment plantation primarily involves planting a single, commercially valuable tree species in large quantities, effectively replacing the existing diverse natural forest with a monoculture. This leads to the reduction of natural biodiversity and can damage the delicate ecosystem within the forest, making (i) and (iii) true.
26. Read the following statements about water scarcity & choose the correct answer from given
statements.
Statement (I) : Water scarcity only happen in those areas which have less water resources.
Statement (II) : Water scarcity can never happen in areas having high rainfall.
(1) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true
(2) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false
(3) Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false
(4) Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true
Answer:-The correct answer is (2) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false. Here’s why:
Statement (I) is false:
Water scarcity can occur even in areas with seemingly ample water resources. Factors like high population density, excessive water use (e.g., in agriculture or industry), pollution, and uneven distribution can lead to water scarcity, even in areas with plentiful rainfall.
Statement (II) is false:
Areas with high rainfall can still experience water scarcity, particularly if there are problems with water management, distribution, or if the water is polluted.
27. Given below are two statements. One is an Assertion (A) and the other is Reason (R).

Choose the correct answer from given options :
(1) (A) and (R) both are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(2) (A) and (R) both are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false.
(4) (A) is false but (R) is true.
Answer:- Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Arhar, being a leguminous crop, is grown in rotation with other crops to enhance soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic bacteria in its root nodules,
28. Read the below statements and choose the correct option.
Statement (I) : Earth's crust is made up of different metals embedded in the rocks.
Statement (II) : Various minerals are extracted from these metals after proper refinement.
(1) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true
(2) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false
(3) Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false
(4) Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is True
Answer:-The correct answer is (4) Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is True.
Here's why:
Statement (I) is false:
While the Earth’s crust does contain metals, they are not typically found embedded in the rocks in their pure metal form. They are more commonly found within minerals, which are naturally occurring solid compounds with a specific chemical composition.
Statement (II) is true:
Minerals, which are the sources of metals, can be extracted through various refinement processes. These processes often involve separating the desired metal from the other components of the mineral.
Therefore, the correct option highlights that while metals are present, they are not directly embedded in rocks as pure metals, and are rather found as components of minerals that can be refined to obtain the metals.
