2. Treaties with Indian states would be honoured. 

3. The British government would not interfere in the social and religious customs of the people.

The ancient name of Kolhapur was ‘Kuntal’.

Jhe Satavahana kings were known to follow the custom of writing their mother’s name before their own.

The famous temples at Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal were built during the Chalukya period.

Badami or Vatapi was the capital of the Chalukya dynasty.

Correct option is (a) Kerala

Correct option is (b) Karnataka

Correct option is (b) Kanchipuram

Correct option is (c) trade

Correct option is (c) Naneghat

The Satavahana king Hala composed the famous poetic work Gatha-Saptashati in Maharashtrin a Prakrit language. 

This work provides information about the life of the people during the Satavahana period.

Correct option is (a) Chalukya

Kalidasa’s literature was ‘Meghdoot’.

The Vakataka king Pravarsen II composed ‘Setubandh’ in Maharashtra.

Correct option is (b) Maharashtra

Correct option is (a) South

Correct option is (a) independent

The Vakataka dynasty was founded by king Vindhyashakti.

The Vakataka dynasty emerged after the Satavahana dynasty.

An object is said to be at rest if there’ is no change in its position with respect to its surroundings.

An object is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to its surroundings.

Yes, electric potential is zero at all points on equatorial line of electric dipole, while electric field strength is not zero.

Yes, inside a hollow charged metallic conductor, the electric field is zero, but electric potential is finite.

Free electrons would travel to regions of higher potentials as they are negatively charged.

A repulsive force acts between protons, if they are brought nearer, work must be done by external force; hence the potential energy of system increases.

Yes, potential difference between two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge.

Consider any path from the charged conductor to the uncharged conductor along the electric field. The potential will continually decrease along this path. A second path from the uncharged conductor to infinity will again continually lower the potential further. Hence this result.

No, the potential function do not have a maximum or minimum in free space.

C will decrease

Energy stored =1/2CV² and hence will increase.

Electric field will increase.

Charge stored will remain the same.

V will increase.

Suppose this were not true. The potential just inside the surface would be different from that at the surface resulting in a potential gradient. This would mean that there are field lines pointing inwards or outwards from the surface. These lines cannot at the other end be again on the surface, since the surface is equipotential. Thus, this is possible only if the other end of the lines are at charges inside, contradicting the premise. Hence, the entire volume inside must be at the same potential.

(a) charge on C₁ gets redistributed such that V₁ = V₂  

(d) charge on C₁ gets redistributed such that Q₁′ + Q₂′ = Q

(b) the electric field is zero
(c) there can be no charge inside the region.

(a), (b), (c)

(a) are closer in regions of large electric fields compared to regions of lower electric fields.
(b) will be more crowded near sharp edges of a conductor.
(c) will be more crowded near regions of large charge densities.

The potential difference between any two points of equipotential surface is zero.

We have

V₁ - V₂ = \(\cfrac{W}q\) = 0 ⇒ W = 0

Therefore, the work done in moving a charge on an equipotential surface is zero.

(a) Aequorea victoria

Pancreas gland is both exocrine and endocrine.

Propioni bacterium sharmani.

Liver is the largest gland of human body located in the right upper part of the abdomen just below the diaphragm.

(i) The chief functions of the large intestine are the absorption of water and the elimination of solid wastes. 

(ii) Moderate quantities of vitamin K and vitamin B complex are manufactured by bacteria in the large intestine.

(c) appendicitis

(c) constipation

(i) it churns and break up food and mixes the pieces with gastric juice. 

(ii) Partial digestion of food takes place here. 

(iii) It produces Castle’s intrinsic factor (a glycoprotein) which is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B₁₂ to be absorbed in the intestine. 

(iv) It also secretes gastrin hormone.

There is a movement in the walls of oesophagus called peristaltic movement, which allows the food particles to move forwards i.e, towards stomach and not back. Thus food does not come back into mouth even at the time of standing on the head.

There are four kinds of teeth : Incisors, canines, premolars and molars. 

(i) Incisors are chisel-shaped and possess sharp cutting edges and are located anteriorly. They are usually specialized for cutting. 

(ii) Canines immediately lie behind incisors and are used for cutting of food. 

(iii) Premolars and molars are called cheek teeth, which are broad, strong crushing teeth. 

(iv) Last molars in human beings are called wisdom teeth which is vestigial.

In physical and mechanical digestion, the food is broken down to smaller pieces. Mastication occurs in the mouth and the buccal cavity. Deglutition is common process in the pharynx and the oesophagus. Peristalsis occurs in oesophagus, stomach and colon. Swallowing is done in pharynx and movement of food mass is seen in every part of the alimentary canal. Churning movement is produced in stomach, as well as in intestine.
