Option(b) Explanation: x = 13p + 11 and x = 17q + 9 13p + 11 = 17q + 9 17q - 13p = 2 2 + 13푝 q= 17 2 + 13푝 The least value of p for which q= a whole number is p = 26 17 x = (13 x 26 + 11) = (338 + 11) = 349 52. Option(b) Explanation: Let 7589 -x = 3434 Then, x = 7589 - 3434 = 4155 53. Option(a) Explanation: Unit digit in the given product = Unit digit in (4 x 8 x 7 x 3) = (672) = 2 54. Option(c) Explanation: 90 = 10 x 9 Clearly, 653xy is divisible by 10, so y = 0 Now, 653x0 is divisible by 9. So, (6 + 5 + 3 + x + 0) = (14 + x) is divisible by 9. So, x = 4. Hence, (x + y) = (4 + 0) = 4. 55. Option(b) Explanation: 3897 x 999 = 3897 x (1000 - 1) = 3897 x 1000 - 3897 x 1 = 3897000 - 3897 = 3893103. 56. Option(d) Explanation: The square of a natural number nerver ends in 2. 143642 is not the square of natural number. 57. Option(a) Explanation: Number is divisible by 9, if sum of all digits is divisible by 9, so (2+2+3+*+4+3+1) = 15+* should be divisible by 9, 15+3 will be divisible by 9, So that least number is 3. 58. Option(c) Explanation: 2/3 = .66, 3/4 = .75, 4/5 = .8 and 5/6 = .833 So biggest is 5/6 and smallest is 2/3 Their difference is 5/6 - 2/3 = 1/6 59. Option(c) Explanation: = √248 + √64 = √256 =16 60. Option(d) Explanation: L.C.M. of 21, 36, 66 = 2772 Now, 2772 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11 To make it a perfect square, it must be multiplied by 7 x 11. So, required number = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 11 x 11 = 213444 61. Option(b) Explanation: = √81 +√0.81 = 10.09−X = 9+0.9=10.09−X = X=10.09−9.9=0.19 62. Option(b) Explanation: 10+15+20+25+30 100 Average= = =20 5 5 63. Option(d) Explanation: As number of girls and boys is not given so result cant be computed 64. Option(d) Explanation: Let the average after 17th match is x Then the average before 17th match is x-3 So 16(x-3) + 87 = 17x => x = 87 - 48 = 39 65. Option(c) Explanation: Total weight increased is 1.5 * 10 = 15. So weight of new person is 45+15 = 60 66. Option(c) Explanation: Let the new S.P. be x, then. (100 - loss%):( 1st S.P.) = (100 + gain %):( 2nd S.P.) 95 105 = ( = ) 1140 푥 = 1260 67. Option(c) Explanation: Let the S.P = 100 Then C.P. = 25 Profit = 75 Profit% = 75/25 * 100 = 3005 68. Option(b) Explanation: Let the Cost Price of 1 item = Re. 1 Cost Price of 16 items = 16 Selling Price of 16 items = 12 Loss = 16 - 12 = Rs 4 Loss % = (4/16)* 100 = 25% 69. Option(c) Explanation: Treat 2:9 as 2/9 and x:18 as x/18, So we get 2/9 = x/18 => 9x = 36 => x = 4 70. Option(b) Explanation: Let C = x. Then A = (x—20) and B = (x—40). x + x - 20 + x - 40 = 120 Or x=60. A: B: C = 40:20:60 = 2:1:3. B's share = Rs. 120*(1/6) = Rs. 20 71. Option(c) Explanation: Let the third number be x. First Number (120/100)*x = 6x/5 Second Number (150/100)*x = 3x/2 Ratio = 6x/5:3x/2 => 4:5 72. Option(b) Explanation: Firstly we will find 1 day work of both A and B, then by adding we can get collective days for them, So, A's 1 day work = 1/10 B's 1 day work = 1/15 1 1 (A+B)'s 1 day work =( + ) 10 15 3+2 = ( ) 30 1 = 16 73. Option(b) Explanation: We are having time and speed given, so first we will calculate the distance. Then we can get new speed for given time and distance. Time = 50/60 hr = 5/6 hr Speed = 48 mph Distance = S*T = 48 * 5/6 = 40 km New time will be 40 minutes so, Time = 40/60 hr = 2/3 hr Now we know, Speed = Distance/Time New speed = 40*3/2 kmph = 60kmph 74. Option(a) 75. Option(d) General Awareness: 76. Option(c) 77. Option(a) 78. Option(a) 79. Option(c) 80. Option(b) Explanation: The parliament of India has power to make laws, organizing jurisdiction and powers of Supreme Court. The number of judges can be increased or decreased by the parliament by legislation. There was a Provision in our constitution originally that there will be a CJ and 7 other judges. This number was raised to 10 in 1956, 13 in 1960, 17 in 1977, 25 in 1985. Later number of judges in the supreme court was raised from 26 (25+1) to 31 (30+1) .

  • Chishti Sufis of Delhi in the LINEAGE of HAZRAT PIR-O-MURSHID INAYAT KHAN
    Chishti Sufis of Delhi IN THE LINEAGE OF HAZRAT PIR-O-MURSHID INAYAT KHAN Compiled by Basira Beardsworth, with permission from: Pir Zia Inayat Khan A Pearl in Wine, The “Silsila-i Sufian”: From Khwaja Mu’in al-Din Chishti to Sayyid Abu Hashim Madani Sadia Dehlvi Sufism, The Heart of Islam, and The Sufi Courtyard, Dargahs of Delhi All the praise of your advancement in this line is due to our masters in the chain who are sending the vibrations of their joy, love, and peace. - Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, in a letter to Murshida Rabia Martin There is a Sufi tradition of visiting the tombs of saints called ziyarah (Arabic, “visit”) or haazri (Urdu, “attendance”) to give thanks and respect, to offer prayers and seek guidance, to open oneself to the blessing stream and seek deeper connection with the great Soul. In the Chishti lineage through Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, there are nine Pirs who are buried in Delhi, and many more whose lives were entwined with Delhi. I have compiled short biographies on these Pirs, and a few others, so that we may have a glimpse into their lives, as a doorway into “meeting” them in the eternal realm of the heart, insha’allah. With permission from the authors, to whom I am deeply grateful to for their work on this subject, I compiled this information primarily from three books: Pir Zia Inayat Khan, The “Silsila-i Sufian”: From Khwaja Mu’in al-Din Chishti to Sayyid Abu Hashim Madani, published in A Pearl in Wine Sadia Dehlvi, Sufism, The Heart of Islam, and The Sufi Courtyard, Dargahs of Delhi For those interested in further study, I highly recommend their books – I have taken only small excerpts from their material for use in this document.

  • The Politics of Celebration: Power, Agency, and Placemaking in a Festival
    THE POLITICS OF CELEBRATION: POWER, AGENCY, AND PLACEMAKING IN A FESTIVAL IN DELHI By Sraman Sircar Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology and Social Anthropology Supervisors: Prof. Prem Kumar Rajaram & Prof. Judit Bodnar CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 ABSTRACT Phool Waalon Ki Sair (Procession of the Florists) is one of the most prominent and oldest festive events in the city of Delhi. Originally established in 1812, it flourished and evolved under both the Mughal Empire and the British colonial regime. Since 1962, the festival is being hosted by the civil society organization named Anjuman Sair-e-Gulfaroshan in collaboration with the government of Delhi. Hosted annually at the Hindu temple of Yogmaya Devi and the Islamic shrine of Bakhtiar Kaki in Mehrauli, one of the oldest neighborhoods of the capital, the festival seeks to promote social parity and communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims of the city. Influenced by the historic turn within anthropology, and based on both archival research as well as ethnographic fieldwork, the analysis presented in the thesis shows that the festival should be viewed as a contentious and dynamic process that constantly shapes, and in turn is impacted by, the agency of its participants and the myriad urban spaces of Delhi where it is staged. Moreover, the thesis explores the manner in which the different polities that have ruled the city (Mughal Empire, British Raj and the postcolonial state in Delhi) have influenced and controlled the festival to serve their specific needs.

  • Sai Baba of Shirdi – a Sufi Saint of the Chisti Order
    Sai Baba of Shirdi – A Sufi Saint of the Chisti Order This article will explore Sai Baba’s links with the Chisti Order of Sufis and discuss his spiritual predecessors and their beliefs. It will be seen that many of the sayings of Sai Baba can be traced back to his Sufi Saint Gurus (Auliya’s) almost 800 years before him. Sufism is the Mystical path of Islam. In Sufism the Guru plays a key role and the disciple merges with God through merging with his Guru. Prayer at the Holy Shrine of the Guru’s tomb is a key aspect of Sufism. Sufism encourages respect for all Sufi saints with a focus on your chosen Murshid or Guru. Sufism spread on the sub-continent of India essentially under the Chisti order starting from 12th century saint Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti (Gharib Nawaz) of Ajmer. Chist is a small town in Afghanistan. Muinuddin was preceded by 200 years of Sufism in Chist. Muinuddin is said to have moved to India on the instructions of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in a dream vision. Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti (Gharib Nawaz or Helper of the poor) One of Muinuddin’s first acts was to visit the holy shrine of the 11th century Saint Al-Hujwiri (Data Ganj-Baksh or “the giver who bestows treasure”) in Lahore who belonged to the Junaidia school of Sufism which originated from Baghdad. Al-Hujwiri was the author of Kashf al-Mahjub 1 (“The Revelation of the Veiled”), the oldest Persian treatise on Sufism. This school believed in sober mysticism and that “True understanding of God should be a silent understanding”.
