Solutions to Questions on Social Science Q.No. Key Rationale

1. 2 International Court of Justice is located at Hague.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, creationof Bangladesh in 1971, and Shimla Agreement in 1972. Therefore alternative 3is the answer.3 2 16% of the World Population means 1/6th of the population, which implies thatevery 6th person is an Indian.4 4 Australia has a large area of land but is sparsely populated. All the other threecountries 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. Olcottwith Theosophical Society of India, Lord Ripon with the Local SelfGovernment and Tipu Sultan with the French Revolution. The answertherefore 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 firststatement is not true, as the Modern Age could not come into existencesuddenly. Hence, alternative 2 is correct which shows that statements b and care true. 8 2 This question is based on a given passage. You have to find out whichrevolutions the passage is referring to. For the first revolution the hint is givenin the passage. It involved 13 English Colonies, where the settlers were fromEngland. You will realize that their colonies were located in America. So oneRevolution is American Revolution, and the second one is French Revolutionas it was important in shaping the modern world. The Russian Revolution andthe Chinese Revolution took place in 20 th Century only. So the answer isalternative 2.9 2 This question is related to the first question. You can reason it out because the13 colonies mentioned here were in America. So the answer is 2. 1410 4 The rest of the questions you may reason out yourself.11 3 12 1
