Blue Pottery is widely recognised as a traditional craft of Jaipur, though it is Turko-Persian in origin. The name 'blue pottery' comes from the eye-catching cobalt blue dye used to colour the pottery. It is relatively unusual as a type of luxury Indian pottery as most Indian types are functional and though often highly decorated, relatively low prestige wares. Jaipur blue pottery is glazed and low-fired. No clay is used: the 'dough' for the pottery is prepared by mixing quartz stone powder, powdered glass, fuller's earth, borax, gum and water.
Some of this pottery is semi-transparent and mostly decorated with bird and animal motifs. Being fired at very low temperatures makes them fragile. The range of items is primarily decorative, such as vases, coasters, small bowls, and boxes for trinkets. The colour palette is restricted to blue derived from the cobalt oxide, green from the copper oxide and white, though other non-conventional colours, such as yellow and brown, are sometimes included. The use of blue glaze on pottery is an imported technique, first developed by artisans who combined Chinese glazing technology with Persian decorative arts. This technique travelled east to India with early Turkic conquests in the 14th century. During its infancy, it was used to make tiles to decorate mosques, tombs and palaces in Central Asia. Later, following their conquests and arrival in India, the Mughals began using them in India. Gradually the blue glaze technique grew beyond an architectural accessory to Indian potters. From there, the technique travelled to the plains of Delhi and in the 17th century went to Jaipur.
Other accounts of the craft state that blue pottery came to Jaipur in the early 19th century under the ruler Sawai Ram Singh II. The Jaipur king had sent local artisans to Delhi to be trained in the craft. However, by the 1950s, blue pottery had all but vanished from Jaipur, when it was re-introduced through the efforts of the muralist and painter Kripal Singh Shekhawat, with the support of patrons such as Kamladevi Chattopadhaya and Rajmata Gayatri Devi.

Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:

Question : A man travelled a certain distance by train at the speed of 50 km/hr and walked back the same distance at the speed of 10 km/hr. If the whole journey took 12 hours, then what was the distance travelled by train?
Option 1: 100 km
Option 2: 180 km
Option 3: 150 km
Option 4: 120 km
Correct Answer: 100 km
Solution : Speed of train = 50 km/hr Speed of walking = 10 km/hr Total time for journey = 12 hours Let the distance to be covered be $d$ km. Time taken by train = $\frac{d}{50}$ Time taken by walking = $\frac{d}{10}$ According to the question
Question : Radioactive elements can be traced out in living cell through a technique called ___________.
Option 1: centrifugation
Option 2: chromatography
Option 3: autoradiography
Option 4: All the above
Correct Answer: autoradiography
Solution : The correct answer is autoradiography.
One technique used to trace radioactive elements in living cells is autoradiography. Autoradiography is a method that involves exposing a photographic film, or other detector to a specimen containing radioactive isotopes. The emitted radiation exposes the film, creating a
Question : The distance between two places A and B is 60 km. Two cars start at the same time from A and B, travelling at speeds of 35 km/h and 25 km/h, respectively. If the cars run in the same direction, then they will meet after how many hours?
Option 1: 6.5
Option 2: 6.2
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 6.52
Correct Answer: 6
Solution : The car runs in the same direction. So, the relative speed is (35 – 25) = 10 km/h. Use the formula, $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{speed}}$ to find the required time that two cars take to meet. ${\text{Time}}=\frac{60}{10}=6$ hours Hence, the correct answer is 6 hours.

The Roman Empire covered a vast stretch of territory that included most of Europe as we know it today and a large part of the Fertile Crescent and North Africa. The Roman Empire embraced a wealth of local cultures and languages; women had a stronger legal position then than they do in many countries today; but also that much of the economy was run on slave labor, denying freedom to substantial numbers of persons. From the fifth century onwards, the empire fell apart in the west but remained intact and exceptionally prosperous in its eastern half. Roman historians have a rich collection of sources to go on, which we can broadly divide into three groups: (a) texts, (b) documents and (c) material remains. Textual sources include letters, speeches, sermons, laws, and histories of the period written by contemporaries. These were usually called ‘Annals’ because the narrative was constructed on a year-by-year basis. Documentary sources include mainly inscriptions and papyri. Inscriptions were usually cut on stone, so a large number survived, in both Greek and Latin. The ‘papyrus’ was a reed-like plant that grew along the banks of the Nile in Egypt and was processed to produce sheets of writing material that was very widely used in everyday life. Thousands of contracts, accounts, letters, and official documents survive ‘on papyrus’ and have been published by scholars who are called ‘papyrologists’. Material remains include a very wide assortment of items that mainly archaeologists discover (for example, through excavation and field survey), for example, buildings, monuments and other kinds of structures, pottery, coins, mosaics, and even entire landscapes. Each of these sources can only tell us just so much about the past, and combining them can be a fruitful exercise, but how well this is done depends on the historian’s skill!
Documentary sources of the history of the Roman Empire include:
Option 1: inscriptions
Option 2: pottery
Option 3: sermons
Option 4: landscapes
Correct Answer: inscriptions
Solution : The first option is correct.
