Q8082. What is the fundamental definition of ‘Revenue Recovery’ in the context of a Tehsildar’s duties?
Explanation
Revenue recovery is a legal process used by the Tehsildar to collect unpaid taxes, land revenue, and other government dues. When individuals fail to pay their liabilities, these amounts are treated as revenue arrears. The Tehsildar uses specific statutory powers, such as issuing notices or attaching property, to ensure that the state receives the funds necessary for public administration and development.

Q8084. Who deceitfully orchestrated the death of Amar Singh Rathore inside the Agra Fort?
Explanation
Amar Singh Rathore’s life ended through treachery inside the Agra Fort. His own brother-in-law, Arjun Gaur, deceitfully lured him through a narrow entrance where Amar Singh had to bend down. As he entered, Arjun Gaur stabbed him to death. This betrayal by a kinsman is a tragic element in the popular ballads that recount Amar Singh’s bravery and his final stand.
Q8085. Find the odd one out among the following functions performed by a District Collector.
Explanation
The power to issue writs for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights is a constitutional authority reserved exclusively for the High Courts and the Supreme Court of India. A District Collector, while performing many vital roles such as census coordination, public distribution management, and VVIP protocol duties, does not possess this judicial power. Their functions are primarily executive, administrative, and related to local revenue management.
Q8086. Rural energy access programs in Rajasthan strongly advocate for the integration of renewable energy. Which renewable source is most abundantly utilized for decentralized rural energy projects in the state?

Consequently, solar power is the most widely used renewable source for decentralized rural energy projects in the state. From solar pumps for irrigation to rooftop panels for household lighting, this technology provides a reliable and sustainable alternative for remote areas difficult to reach.
Q8087. Consider the following statements regarding Amar Singh Rathore:
I. He successfully claimed the throne of Jodhpur after defeating his brother Jaswant Singh.

II. He showed immense bravery by jumping his horse over the walls of the Agra Fort.
III. His sister was married to the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are incorrect?
Explanation

His legend is primarily based on his extraordinary bravery and his dramatic escape.
