    The three-member Mission of Pethick-Lawrence, Cripps and Alexander was sent by the Attlee government in March 1946, and its plan proposed a Union limited to foreign affairs, defence and communications, with the powers needed to finance them. All three statements are correct.

    Consider the following statements about the Objectives Resolution in the Constituent Assembly: 1. It was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru on 13 December 1946. 2.

    Show the answer

    B. 1 and 3 only

    Nehru moved the Objectives Resolution on 13 December 1946 and it was adopted on 22 January 1947. The Drafting Committee was constituted later, on 29 August 1947, so statement 2 is wrong.

  3. Question 3 · General Knowledge Practice Set 4

    Consider the following statements about the Regulating Act, 1773: 1. It provided for a Supreme Court at Calcutta. 2. It gave the Governor-General a council of four members. 3. It gave the Governor-General a power of veto over the decisions of his council. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

    1. A. 2 and 3 only
    2. B. 1 only
    3. C. 1, 2 and 3
    4. D. 1 and 2 only
    Show the answer

    D. 1 and 2 only

    The Act set up a supreme court of English judges at Calcutta and a council of four members for the Governor-General. The Governor-General had only a casting vote and no veto, so statement 3 is wrong.

  4. Question 4 · General Knowledge Practice Set 4

    Consider the following statements about the Gupta ruler Chandragupta II: 1. The Chinese pilgrim Faxian (Fa-hien) visited India during his reign. 2. Some of his silver coins bear the title Vikramaditya. 3. Kalidasa is counted among the scholars at his court. 4. His southward advance was stopped at the Narmada by Pulakeshin II.

    3. C. 1, 2, 3 and 4
    4. D. 2, 3 and 4 only
    Show the answer

    A. 1, 2 and 3 only

    Faxian spent 405-411 in India during Chandragupta II's reign, his coins bear the title Vikramaditya, and Kalidasa is placed at his court. It was Harsha, not Chandragupta II, who was driven back to the Narmada by Pulakeshin II.
