Test 22 , Q. 3 

Statement no 1 states that 'Vishnu's image as Vaikuntha Chaturmurti if found in Kandariya Mahadev Temple' and the answer key states this to be correct. 

However, Kandariya Mahadev Temple is a Shiva temple and this image of Vishnu is found in Lakshmana Temple of Khajuraho. 

I think the answer should be 2 Only (B) instead of Both 1 and 2 (C) 

Kandariya Mahadev temple is indeed dedicated to Lord Shiva but the temple complex has an image of Vishnu in Vaikuntha Chaturmurthi with 8 hands (a rare phenomenon as Vaikuntha Chaturmurthi usually has only 4 hands). The Lakshmana temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and has the main idol of Vishnu in Vaikuntha Chaturmurthi form with 4 hands.

Q36test28

I was aware that Taswirkhana was established under Akbar eventhough when I moved down in 3rd point I found Shahjahan - Portrait painting climax which made me alert that he was Jahangir under whom portrait painting reached a climax.

So, What are your views?

In my opinion only 2nd point is correct and in option there is no option in which "only 2" mentioned. So it should be deleted.

Test 23 Q 21 

Sir in this question the second statement is, " The Central Government contributes 75% of SDRF allocation for general category States/ Union Territories and 90% for special category States/ Union Territories.

 This was the provision under the Disaster Management Act 2005.

  But in 2018 a new decision was taken by Central government in this regard: 

  Government of India has taken an important decision to enhance its contribution in the State Disaster Response fund (SDRF) from 75% to 90%. w.e.f. 1^st April 2018. Central Government will contribute 90 per cent and all States will contribute 10 per cent to the SDRF.

Test 23 Q 17 

In this question Bidri work is matched with Andhra Pradesh and option ( b) is considered correct.

 But as Bidri is prominently associated with Karnataka ( due to Bidar region) it was told by teacher in SFG discussion class that both option (b) and (c) will be considered as correct for this question.

 Pls clarify.

But Bidri is also associated with Andhra Pradesh too and not "only" with Karnataka

So how can you say that it's not associated with andhra pradesh and mark it as incorrect..

The maximum development of portrait painting was made during Jahangir but it was taken up further by Shah Jahan who too patronised paintings (and more by Dara Sikhoi). It was Aurangzeb during whose reign the progress was halted suddenly. Hence it was Shah Jahan's reign which witnessed the climax of the portrait painting.

This question should be deleted. 

MANDANA is also called Medana/Mendana/Medana etc in different sources. For example, refere to the link -http://www.edudel.nic.in/circulars_file/activities_for_summer_vacation_camp/38.%20RANGOLI.htm. Further, I am attaching the picture of the NIOS book. Anyways we request you to take up this test solving exercise not to evaluate yourself but to enhance your content which you can use on the day exam. In any case, the most appropriate answer must be ticked right and here it was only 3.

Test 23 Q 12

Sir in this question option ( d ) was changed by the management from 2 and 3 only to1 and 3 only. 

 The first statement is The ' Tamasha Paintings ' of this period depict the common life of people in Mughal kingdom. 

  As discussed in today's SFG this statement is correct as depicted in paintings of regional kingdoms of that period.

  So in the revised answer key option ( c ) is given as correct whereas it ought to be ( d ).

Pls clarify.

I was not aware of it. Thank you for bringing this into my attention. I will rectify this mistake and the revised answer key as well as the result will be published soon.

Test 23, Ques 17, In the SFG discussion we were told that either marks would be given for both options B(1,2 and 4) and C(2 and 4) as correct or the question would be cancelled. 

Since Bidri work is primarily associated with Karnataka. But the option given is Andhra Pradesh.

Kindly rectify the answer key.

@Thinker Sir,there are many discrepancies in today's answer key. Please review it.
