equuatorial counter current ka explaination mila?

@ Arun , thank’s bro and best of luck to u too . :) .

Dear friends….gun powder was introduced in India during 13-14 the centuries by Turks…it was used by bahmanis and vijaynagar in warfare….Vasco da gama (1498) popularised it in south and Albuquerque used it for capturing Goa in 1526…. Likewise arch-dome combinations were employed by early sultans

Respected Mrunal Sir, before you put up the answers to the prelims question I request you to take the following points into cognizance
1. In series B of paper 1, please give detailed explanation for Q 18 (along with source).
2. In Q29, 1st statement is definitely wrong but please provide all reason for statement 2 from all angles (including the negation of the statement as well).
In Q30, many answer keys say a or b is the correct option but both statements seems to be wrong – a is wrong because we cannot say that temperature is low in tropical areas. b should be wrong because if absence of ITCZ would have been the answer, then equatorial regions (with max emergence of ITCZ) should have had max cyclones but that does not happen. Answer should be (c). Moreover NCERT (XI or XII class) also says that absence of coriolis force in equatorial region is the reason for no cyclones there. This argument can be extended to Tropical regions also with the only change that “No Coriolis Force” is to be replaced by “Weak coriolis force.”
3. Kindly give detailed explanation (with source) for Q 41. {Rowlatt Act}
4. In Q66, the catch is that even though Babur was a decendent of Timur but Babur did not established Timurid dynasty, he established Mughal Dynasty. A dynasty is said to be established when there is a continuous succession of rulers from that dynasty. After Timur’s invasion into India, there was a long Delhi Sultanate present in India and only in 1500s did Babur arrived on the scene & established the Mughal Dynasty. Please give your opinion on this.
5. In question 86 – please refer to the Presidential Oath as mentioned in the Constitution. It clearly states the President to provide for the protection of the Constitution. Please shed more light.
6. In Q39, it is clearly told to us in the classes that when North Equatorial Current & South Equatorial Current meet, then there is a piling up of water on the Western sides, which causes a counter current towards the East. Option c & d have no weight. However many answer keys have marked option (a) as correct but since the current mentioned is equatorial counter current hence earth’s rotation (or equivalently coriolis force) should have no effect on currents near equator as coriolis force is very weak there.

I hope you will pay heed to the above arguments rather than turning a blind eye.
Yours faithfully
Your avid follower

Guys I am getting 112 in paper I as per CL answer key and failed in Paper II from 5 marks! Don’t know what to do.. One year wasted!
