Answer : C,
Solution : The Government of India Act 1935, passed by British Parliament in August of 1935
was considered to be the longest Act enacted. The Act, consisting of 321 sections and 10
schedules was split into two separate Acts. One was Government of India Act 1935 and the
other was Government of Burma Act 1935. The Act was made from the detailed reports of
Simon Commission, Third Round Table Conference, White Paper of 1933 and reports of Joint
Select Committees. The Act ended the system of Diarchy and provided for establishment of
Federation of India to be made up of Princely States and Provinces of the British Raj.
Provincial Autonomy was granted in the provinces. However the Federation never came into
being as the Princely States never joined the Federation. In case of Princely States the
accession to the All India Federation under the Government of India Act was voluntary. Nehru
called the Act 'all breaks, no engine'.

B. Individual Satyagraha-Abul Kalam Azad
C. Indian National Army-Binoy,Badal,Dinesh
D. Patriotic Association- Sir Syed Ahmad Khan
Answer : C,
Solution : Indian National Army was first formed in 1942 by India's PoW Captain Mohan
Singh with alliance from Japan's army. The motive was to secure India's independence from
British Raj, but the forces were disbanded later in December of the same year. The forces
were collapsed after the differences in leadership between INA and Japanese military over its
role in Japan's war in Asia. Later in 1943 the leadership was revived under Netaji Subhash
Chandra Bose and the army was again reformed. The army under Bose was declared as 'AzriHUkumat-e-Azad Hind'(Provinsial Government of Free India). The force was strengthened by
PoW of Malaya and Burma. On 23rd October 1943, Subhas's forces declared war against
Britain. The motive of INA was to enter Gangetic plains through North Eastern region of India
after occupying Imphal and Kohima. Whatever be the result of the war, whether Japan was
defeated or not, it was ascertained by Subhash that British government would not be in a
position to re-assert its colonial authority in India. Later the soldiers were captured and tried
in Delhi, famed as the Red Fort Trials of 1945-1946. The trials had a deep impact in Indian
subjects and the trials became rallying point for independence movement. For the defense of
soldiers, Indian National Congress came forward and formed INA Defence Committee. The
defense was led by prominent leaders like J L Nehru, Bhulabhai Desai, Kailashnath Katju, Asaf
Ali. For immense public pressure, the sentences against the accused solders were never
carried out and all the 11000 soldiers were later released but were refrained from joining
army any more. *PoW: Prisoners of War

Q.65 Deliverence Day' was celebrated by Muslim League on the day of
A. When Second World War broke out
B. The day when British joined the Allied forces in the Second World War
C. Congress Ministries resigned from the Provincial offices
D. The day when Muslim League started the session at Lucknow
Answer : C,
Solution : After the Legislature Elections in India in1936-37, Congress emerged as victorious
with clear majority. On 3rd September 1939, British regime declared war against Germany.
Congress strongly refuted the decision of declaration without prior consultation with Congress
leaders as they were aware of the atrocities to be employed by British in the name of war.
Congress even suggested of a Central Indian National Government after the war as a
commitment in return to the cooperation to be supported. But Lord Linlithgow refused the
proposal. In deliberate response, Congress leaders resigned from the provincial government
providing relief to both Lord Linlithgow and Muslim League. On 2nd December 1939, a cheerful
Jinnah put out an appeal to celebrate 22nd December 1939 as Deliverance Day for
resignations from Congress. N.B: The infamous Bengal Famine of 1943-44 is considered to be
a man-made holocaust for inhumane British policies. Although Bengal had a bountiful harvest
in 1943, but Churchill diverted the vast pile of resources to Britain in the wake of World War
II. As one of the greatest disaster in subcontinent, here the death toll rose to about 4 million.
Bereaved Nehru opined this malicious act as 'the final judgment of British rule in India'.

Solution : Lets use F= ma, where F is force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. 5 = 10 m1,
so, m1 =0.5 kg 5 = 20 *m2, and m2 = 0.25 kg. Now 5 newton is applied to .75 kg. It will
produce an acceleration of a = F/m = 5./.75 = 6.67 m/s2

basis of their staining nature. The cell wall of a gram positive bacteria is composed of
peptidoglycan and it lacks a secondary liposachharide layer, which is foud in Gram negative
bacteria. The stains normally used in Gram Staining are crystal violet to stain cell walls, iodine
as mordant and a fuchsin or safranin counterstain to mark all bacteria. Gram positive bacteria
appear dark blue or violet after alcohol treatment, while gram negative bacteria appear red or
pink. This is due to the fact that after alcohol treatment, the porosity of the cell wall
increases. In Gram posietive bacteria as there is no secondary layer only crystal violet stains
the cell wall, giving the bacteria a dark blue or violet coloration. In gram negative bacteria, the
primary stain is not retained, and CVI complex( crystal violet iodine) can pass through and
stain the liposaccharide layer and other cell parts, giving it a pink coloration.
