The
Indian Independence Act-1947
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad
After
the war Azad was one of the Indian leaders who negotiated for Indian
independence with the British. He tirelessly advocated for a single India that
would embrace both Hindus and Muslims while strongly opposing the partition of
British India into independent India and Pakistan. He later blamed both
Congress Party leaders and Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, for
the ultimate division of the subcontinent. After the two separate countries
were established, he served as minister of education in the Indian government
of Jawaharlal Nehru from 1947 until his death. His autobiography, India Wins
Freedom, was published posthumously in 1959. In 1992, decades after his death,
Azad was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award.

ANSWER
FOR LAST WEEK QUESTIONS
1)Answer:
Option(B) 34.25
Solution:
Total
runs scored in 10 matches = 10 × 38.9 = 389
Total
runs scored in first 6 matches = 6 × 42 = 252
Total
runs scored in last 4 matches = 389-252 = 137
Average
for the last 4 matches = 137/4 = 34.25
2)Answer:
Option(C) 18 years
Solution:
Total
age of husband and wife (at the time of their marriage) = 2 × 23 = 46
After
5 years, they have a one year old child. That is, child was born after 4 years
of marriage. Therefore total age of husband and wife when the child was born =
46+4+4 = 54
Average
age of the family when the child was born = 54/3 = 18 years
3)Answer:
Option(C) 11
Solution:
Let
the number of subjects = X
Total

If
he had obtained 20 more marks for Geography and 2 more marks for History, his
average would have been 65. That is, in this case the total marks would have
been 65X.
Now,
we have 65X-63X = 20+2
Therefore
X = 11

Cost
price = 80000+5000+1000 = Rs.86000
