Q924. The following question consists of two statements, an Assertion (A) and a Reason (R). Read them carefully and select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Assertion (A): The Aranyakas serve as a bridge between the Karma Marga of the Brahmanas and the Jnana Marga of the Upanishads.
Reason (R): They were texts meant to be studied in the forest and focused on the mystical meaning of sacrifices rather than their actual performance.
Assertion (A): The Aranyakas serve as a bridge between the Karma Marga of the Brahmanas and the Jnana Marga of the Upanishads.
Reason (R): They were texts meant to be studied in the forest and focused on the mystical meaning of sacrifices rather than their actual performance.
Explanation
The Aranyakas function as a vital link between the ritual-heavy Brahmanas and the philosophical Upanishads. By shifting the focus from the physical act of sacrifice to its deeper mystical and symbolic significance, they prepared the mind for the abstract inquiries found in later texts. Because they were studied in the seclusion of the forest, they encouraged meditation over external ritual performance.

Q927. Which of the following is NOT an indicator used to assess the standard of living dimension in the global Multidimensional Poverty Index?
Explanation
The standard of living dimension in poverty assessments is measured through six specific indicators. These include access to cooking fuel, adequate sanitation, safe drinking water, electricity, and decent housing, as well as the ownership of basic assets. While modern connectivity is important, internet access is not currently one of the standard indicators used to calculate this specific global multidimensional poverty score.
Q928. How many bits constitute a ‘nibble’ in data representation?
Explanation
A nibble is a data unit that consists of exactly 4 bits, representing half of a standard 8-bit byte. Because a nibble contains four binary digits, it can represent sixteen distinct values, ranging from 0 to 15. This unit is particularly useful in hexadecimal representation, as each hexadecimal digit corresponds directly to the value of a single nibble in binary.

This work provides meticulous statistical data regarding every village, including population, land revenue, and crops. It is an unparalleled source for understanding the administrative and economic geography of seventeenth-century Marwar under Maharaja Jaswant Singh I.
