WRITTEN TEST FOR THE POST OF MANAGER AUQAF (BS-16) 2014 IN THE AUQAF & RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT, PUNJAB. PAPER HELD ON: 20-04-2014

A calorie is defined as a unit of heat (energy), although it is often used as a measure of food energy in dietetics.
Let’s analyze it carefully all options:

(A) Unit of diet → Not entirely correct. Although we discuss “calories in a diet,” the calorie itself is not a unit of diet but a measure of energy.
(B) Unit of quantity of heat → Correct answer. By definition, 1 calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of water by 1°C.
(C) Unit of food intake → Misleading. Calories are a measure of the energy in food, not the quantity of food.

Thus, (D) All of these is incorrect because only option B is scientifically correct.

Sir Creek is a 96 km long tidal estuary in the Rann of Kutch, situated between India and Pakistan.
The dispute is about the maritime boundary in the creek and the adjacent sea, which impacts fishing rights and exclusive economic zones in the Arabian Sea.

Explanation:

The Government of India Act 1935 was the most important and comprehensive constitutional reform under British rule.
Its major provisions are as follows:

1. Provincial autonomy: Provinces were made separate legal entities, meaning they had full control over provincial subjects without interference from the central government.
2. Federal structure: It proposed a federation of India, although it was never fully implemented.
3. Diarchy in provinces was abolished (so option A is partially true, but not the most important one).
4. Limited adult franchise was introduced in provinces (so option B is also true, but on a smaller scale).
5. The Council of Secretary of State was not abolished, so D is incorrect.

Takeaway:
The most important effect was the establishment of legal and administrative autonomy for provinces, which would later form the foundation of a federal system in an independent India.
