The 26 letters of English are given ranks 1,2, ...., 26, in the alphabetical order. Then for $$1 \leq r \leq 26, r^{th}$$ letter is coded as $$k^{th}$$ letter where $$7r + 3 = 26M + k$$ where $$0 \leq k \leq 25$$ and $$M ∈ Z$$. When $$k = O, k^{th}$$ letter is coded as 'z'.

Read the following passage and answer questions:
At 5 percent, India's economy registered a very slow gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate for the April-June quarter 2019-20. The latest GDP growth rate heightened concerns about slowdown with some apprehending that recession might set in. However, the current GDP figures are no indication of any impending recession, which anyway does not have an accepted-by-all definition. But it generally refers to contraction of a country's economy in two consecutive quaters. In such situations. banks and other financial institutions fail. The US witnessed such a situation in 2008-09. In India, the economy is growing. Only the rate of growth has slowed down, which is a huge setback for the country as it requires an accelerated growth to provide employment to millions entering the job market every year. A slowdown in growth rate would tum the population dividend into an unmanageable burden. The current slide in GDP growth, for four consecutive quarters, is interspersed with a series of policy decisions. Two mega policy decisions, demonetisation in November 2016 and the rollout of the goods and services tax (GST) in July 2017 disrupted the Indian economy. Aimed at greater formalisation of the Indian economy, the twin disruptions struck a big blow to the informal sectors that employ the maximum number of workforce. The policy disruption hangover still continues and is accentuated by the crisis in banking and non-banking financial sectors. This hit the small and medium scale businesses more adversely than expected in the wake of the collapse of Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services (IL&FS). Money just stopped flowing into the market. The net result was a huge loss of jobs.

Read the passage below and choose the correct answer:
Environmentalism began as a movement in the 1960s and 1970s. However, humanity's relationship and dependence on the earth for survival has existed since the beginning of time. Many cultures including Native Americans, Aborigines, Africans and South Americans have understood this interconnection with the natural world. Western cultures had a poor understanding of this relationship as they separated themselves from the land through technology and development. Beginning in the nineteenth century, the Industrial Revolution caused many changes, Western people realized their behavior had a negative impact on the environment. In the growing industrial cities of London, New York and Chicago, coal burning factories polluted the air and water while the need for lumber to build factories and homes caused mass deforestation and subsequent destruction of animal life.
On a relatively small scale, groups of people were concerned about the future of the environment. Scientists studied ecological systems while others formed clubs and initiated protests. These concerted people became known as conservationists, a predecessor to the modern environmentalist. Some of the earliest protests against pollution and for the conservation of natural resources and wildlife happened in the late nineteenth century.
In the years proceeding World War II, America experienced an economic boom.

Read the following passage and answer questions.
On 10 May 1857 the Indian Rebellion started in Meerut. When news of the fighting reached Jhansi, the Rani asked the British political Officer, Captain Alexdander Skene, for permission to raise a body of armed men for her own protection; Skene agreed to this. The city was relatively calm in the midst of the regional unrest, but the Rani conducted a Haldi Kumkum ceremony with pomp in front of all the women of Jhansi to provide assurance to her subjects, in the summer of 1857 and to convince them that the British were cowards and not to be afraid of them.
Until the is point, Lakshmibai was reluctant to rebel against the British. In June 1857, rebels of die 12th Bengal Native Infantry seized the Star Fort of Jhansi containing the treasure and magazine, and after persuading the British to lay down their arms by promising them no harm, broke their word and massacred 40 to 60 European officers of the garrison along with their wives and children. The Rani's involvement in this massacre is still a subject of debate. An army doctor, Thomas Lowe. wrote after the rebellion characterising her as the "Jezebel of India ... the young Rani upon whose head rested the blood of the slain".
