The correct answer is option 2), i.e., 'No improvement.'

Key Points

• There is no error in the sentence and it is grammatically correct.
• The phrase 'But for' is used to mean 'If it hadn’t been for.'

• Example:
  • But for (If it hadn't rained) the rain, we would have reached on time.
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct sentence: But for these interruptions, the meeting would have finished earlier.

The correct answer is Aryabhatiyam.

Key Points

• Aryabhatiyam
  • ​Aryabhatiyam was written by Aryabhata.

The family tree is given below:-

• Z is the brother of P.

Hence, "option 3" is the correct answer.

According to the given information:

•  ‘+’ means ‘÷’, 
• ‘–’ means ‘×’,
• ‘÷’ means ‘+’
• and ‘×’ means ‘–’

By using the BODMAS rule:

Given expression: 8 – 1 ÷ 72 + 8 × 3

After interchange the signs:

The equation becomes as follows,

• 8 × 1 + 72 ÷ 8 - 3

Solving the given equation,

= 8 × 1 + 72 ÷ 8 - 3

= 8 × 1 + 9 - 3

= 8 + 9 - 3

= 17 - 3

= 14

Hence, the correct answer is "14".

The correct answer is Gopala.

• Pala Dynasty:
  • Its founder, Gopala, was a local chieftain who rose to power in the mid-8th century during a period of anarchy.
  • His successor, Dharmapala, greatly expanded the kingdom and for a while was in control of Kannauj.

Additional Information

• The incredible Buddhist complex of Paharpur was created under the Pala dynasty in Bengal and fostered by successive leaders.
  • The Pala dynasty ruled the regions of Bengal and Bihar for about 400 years, from the 8th century until the end of the 11th century, with about 20 leaders on the throne during the period.
  • To begin to understand the Pala Dynasty, it's useful to look at the state of affairs when the first ruler took power.
  • The region that is now north-eastern India and Bangladesh had been in a state of anarchy for about a century following the fall of the Post Gupta dynasty. Feudal lords had found themselves in a cycle of a petty conflict with no obvious path to resolution.
  • It wasn't until one feudal lord named Gopala managed to gain the support of other leaders that stability started to emerge.
  • Through a democratic process, he took control of the region called Varendra, made up of north-western Bangladesh, West Bengal, and the Indian area of Bihar. He would be the founder and first ruler of the Pala Empire.
  •  It was the dynasty's second ruler, the son of Gopala, who would have the biggest impact, though.
  • His name was King Dharma Pala Deva (also known as Dharmapala) and he greatly expanded the territory of the empire, spreading across northern India. He is regarded as an efficient administrator and, during this period, the region flourished economically

The correct answer is 44th Constitution Amendment Act.

Key Points

• The Forty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution of India, officially known as the Constitution (Forty-fourth Amendment) Act, 1978, was enacted by the Janata Party.

On combining: A < X = B =Y < Z

Conclusions:

I. A = B → False (as A < X = B =Y < Z  → A < B)

II. X < Y → False (as A < X = B =Y < Z  → X = Y)

III. Z > Y → True (as A < X = B =Y < Z → Z > Y)

Therefore, only conclusion III is true.

The correct answer is 'Besides working as'

Key Points

• The words 'beside' and 'besides' both are prepositions.
• Prepositions are those words that are used before a noun or pronoun and denote the relationship between the noun and the other part of the sentence.
  • ​​For example, The hotel lies amidst spectacular mountain scenery.
• However, the meaning of both words is different.
  1. Beside means close to or next to someone or something.
     • For example, There were cows grazing beside the river.
  2. Besides means apart from someone or something.
     • For example, Besides milk and butter, we need some vegetables.
• The given sentence is indicating that the person writes novels apart from being a doctor.

Therefore, option 4 will be the most appropriate choice.
Additional Information

• The preposition 'besides' can also be used as an adverb that means 'in addition or as well'.
  • For example, I'm capable of doing the work, and a lot more besides.

Hinglish

• 'Beside' और 'besides' शब्द दोनों prepositions हैं।
• Prepositions वे शब्द हैं जो noun या pronoun के पहले प्रयुक्त होते हैं और noun और वाक्य के दूसरे भाग के बीच संबंध को दर्शाते हैं।
  • ​​​For example, The hotel lies amidst spectacular mountain scenery.
• हालाँकि, दोनों शब्दों का अर्थ अलग है।
• 'beside' का अर्थ है 'किसी या किसी चीज के करीब या उसके बगल में'।
  • ​For example, There were cows grazing beside the river.
• 'besides' का मतलब है 'इसके अलावा भी कुछ'।
  • ​For example, Besides milk and butter, we need some vegetables.
• दिया गया वाक्य इस बात का संकेत दे रहा है कि व्यक्ति डॉक्टर होने के साथ-साथ उपन्यास भी लिखता है।

अतः option 4 सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प होगा।
