Sec­tion A: Indi­an Poli­ty and History

1. Which of the following constitutional amendments introduced the words “Socialist”, “Secular” and “Integrity” into the Preamble of the Indian Constitution?

Cor­rect answer: B. The 42nd Con­sti­tu­tion­al Amend­ment Act, 1976, added “Social­ist” and “Sec­u­lar” and changed “uni­ty of the Nation” to “uni­ty and integri­ty of the Nation” in the Preamble.

2. Which writ is generally issued by a court to prevent a lower court or tribunal from proceeding in a matter beyond its jurisdiction?

Cor­rect answer: C. The writ of Pro­hi­bi­tion restrains a low­er court or tri­bunal from con­tin­u­ing pro­ceed­ings out­side its juris­dic­tion. Cer­tio­rari, by con­trast, may be used to quash an order already made.

3. The doctrine of “Basic Structure” of the Constitution was authoritatively propounded by the Supreme Court in which case?

Cor­rect answer: B. In the 1973 Kesa­vanan­da Bharati judg­ment, the Supreme Court held that Par­lia­men­t’s pow­er to amend the Con­sti­tu­tion does not extend to destroy­ing its basic structure.

4. Which statement about the Finance Commission of India is correct?

Cor­rect answer: A. Arti­cle 280 pro­vides for a Finance Com­mis­sion con­sti­tut­ed by the Pres­i­dent, ordi­nar­i­ly every five years or ear­li­er if necessary.

5. Which feature most clearly distinguishes the Permanent Settlement introduced in Bengal in 1793 from the Ryotwari system?

Cor­rect answer: B. Under the Per­ma­nent Set­tle­ment, the rev­enue demand payable by zamin­dars was fixed per­ma­nent­ly. The Ryot­wari sys­tem gen­er­al­ly assessed rev­enue direct­ly with indi­vid­ual cultivators.
Sec­tion B: Geog­ra­phy, Econ­o­my and Science

6. The Coriolis effect is zero at the Equator and increases towards the poles. Which expression represents the Coriolis parameter?

Cor­rect answer: B. The Cori­o­lis para­me­ter is \(f=2\\Omega\\sin\\phi\), where Ω is Earth­’s angu­lar rota­tion rate and φ is lat­i­tude. It is zero at the Equator.

7. If the nominal GDP of a country increases by 12% while its GDP deflator increases by 5%, approximately how much has real GDP increased?

Cor­rect answer: B. Real GDP growth = (1.12 / 1.05 − 1) × 100 ≈ 6.67%. Sub­tract­ing infla­tion from nom­i­nal growth gives approx­i­mate­ly 7 per­cent­age points, but the exact cal­cu­la­tion is about 6.67%.

8. Which statement about an enzyme-catalysed reaction is most accurate?

Cor­rect answer: C. Enzymes pro­vide an alter­na­tive path­way with low­er acti­va­tion ener­gy. They accel­er­ate the approach to equi­lib­ri­um but do not change the equi­lib­ri­um con­stant or the over­all free-ener­gy difference.

9. In a first-order reaction, the half-life is 20 minutes. How much of the original reactant remains after 60 minutes?

Cor­rect answer: B. Six­ty min­utes rep­re­sents three half-lives. Remain­ing frac­tion = (1/2)³ = 1/8 = 12.5%.

10. A convex lens has a focal length of +20 cm. An object is placed 30 cm in front of it. Using the Cartesian sign convention, where is the image formed?

Cor­rect answer: A. Using 1/f = 1/v − 1/u, with f = +20 cm and u = −30 cm: 1/v = 1/20 − 1/30 = 1/60. There­fore v = +60 cm.
Sec­tion C: Advanced Rea­son­ing and Mathematics

11. Find the next number in the series: 2, 6, 15, 31, 56, 92, ?

Cor­rect answer: C. The suc­ces­sive dif­fer­ences are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, which are 2², 3², 4², 5², 6². The next dif­fer­ence is 7² = 49. Thus 92 + 49 = 141.

12. If A:B = 3:4 and B:C = 8:9, what is A:C?

Cor­rect answer: B. Make the B terms equal: A:B = 6:8 and B:C = 8:9. There­fore A:C = 6:9 = 2:3.

13. A can complete a task in 12 days and B can complete it in 18 days. Working together at constant rates, how many days will they take?

Cor­rect answer: B. Com­bined dai­ly work = 1/12 + 1/18 = 5/36. Time required = 36/5 = 7.2 days.

14. A bag contains 5 red and 4 blue balls. Two balls are drawn randomly without replacement. What is the probability that both are red?

Cor­rect answer: A. Prob­a­bil­i­ty = (5/9) × (4/8) = 20/72 = 5/18.

15. If the roots of x² − 7x + k = 0 differ by 1, what is the value of k?

Cor­rect answer: B. Let the roots be r and s. Their sum is 7 and their dif­fer­ence is 1, so the roots are 4 and 3. Their prod­uct, k, is 12.
Sec­tion D: Edu­ca­tion and Teach­ing Aptitude

16. A teacher gives students progressively harder tasks, offering support that is gradually withdrawn as students become more capable. This approach is most closely associated with which concept?

Cor­rect answer: B. Scaf­fold­ing pro­vides tem­po­rary sup­port for tasks a learn­er can­not yet per­form inde­pen­dent­ly. It is com­mon­ly asso­ci­at­ed with Vygot­sky’s Zone of Prox­i­mal Development.

17. Which assessment practice best exemplifies formative assessment?

Cor­rect answer: B. For­ma­tive assess­ment takes place dur­ing learn­ing and uses evi­dence and feed­back to iden­ti­fy gaps and adjust instruction.

18. In the revised Bloom’s taxonomy, which cognitive process is generally considered the highest level?

Cor­rect answer: D. The revised tax­on­o­my orders the cog­ni­tive process­es as Remem­ber, Under­stand, Apply, Analyse, Eval­u­ate and Create.

19. A student can explain a scientific principle but cannot apply it to an unfamiliar real-world problem. Which instructional response is most appropriate?

Cor­rect answer: B. Guid­ed prac­tice with var­ied con­texts helps stu­dents trans­fer con­cep­tu­al under­stand­ing to new sit­u­a­tions, while feed­back iden­ti­fies and cor­rects misconceptions.

20. In an inclusive classroom, a teacher discovers that a written assessment disadvantages a student with a documented writing-related disability, even though the target competency is subject knowledge. What is the best response?

Cor­rect answer: C. Appro­pri­ate accom­mo­da­tions reduce irrel­e­vant bar­ri­ers while main­tain­ing the intend­ed learn­ing out­comes and the valid­i­ty of the assessment.
