• (c) Plato

Aristotle was a student of Plato for about two decades at the Academy of Athens. He was a member of the Academy at the age of 17 until the death of Plato in 347 BCE. Even though he went on to establish his own philosophical system, Aristotelianism, which challenged Plato’s Theory of Forms in many ways, his early education was heavily influenced by Plato.

• Socrates was the teacher of Plato
• Alexander the Great was actually a student of Aristotle, who was invited by King Philip II of Macedon to tutor the young prince.
• Heraclitus was a pre-Socratic philosopher who lived before Aristotle’s time./expand]

• (b) 10 November, 1913
• (c) 10 December, 1913
• (d) 10 October, 1912

Check Answer

• (a) 10 October, 1913

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah began to participate in the meetings of the All-India Muslim League in various parts of India during the early months of 1913. He also began to share his views regarding policy and politics. He guided the objectives of the All-India Muslim League towards the national objectives. However, the membership of the All-India Muslim League for Jinnah was to come a little later, specifically on 10 October 1913 in London, where he signed the pledge for membership. Interestingly, the letter for membership refers to Malabar (Bombay) as the constituency of Jinnah. This was the beginning of the official participation of Jinnah with the All-India Muslim League, an event that was to prove to be of critical importance for the formation of Pakistan.

• (b) 1919

Jallianwala Bagh tragedy occurred on the 13th of April, 1919, at Amritsar in the state of Punjab. On this day, a large crowd of people had assembled at Jallianwala Bagh to celebrate Baisakhi and express their dissent against the Rowlatt Act. Brigadier General Reginald Dyer, who led the British army, opened fire at the innocent crowd without any prior intimation. This tragic incident came to be known as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a landmark in the freedom struggle of India against the British.

• Killed: Official British sources cited 379 deaths, while Indian estimates (including the Indian National Congress) place the death toll at over 1,000.
• Injured: Over 1,200 people were injured, according to British reports, with estimates going up to 1,500 or more according to other sources.

• Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
• Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

• Lighthouse of Alexandria

• (c) 54

Solution:

• Total candidates appeared: 180
  Pass percentage: 70%
• To calculate how many have passed:
  70% of 180
  = 0.7 × 180
  = 126
• Now, how many have failed:
  Failed = Total appeared – Total passed
  = 180 – 126
  = 54
• Result: 54 candidates failed.

• (b) 56

Solution:

• We are given: x = 28 and y = 51
• The expression to be evaluated is: (x + y) + (x – y)
• Step 1: plug in the numbers: (28 + 51) + (28 – 51)
• Step 2: simplify inside the parentheses: 79 + (-23)
• Step 3: add: 79 – 23 = 56 ans.

• (a) Johannes Gutenberg
