Comprehension
One of the justifications of Russia-Ukraine war Russian leader claimed that military action was necessary to stop Ukrainian attacks on the two break away regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, which Russia recognized as sovereign states. President of Russia claimed that Russia could come under attack by Ukrainian far right government, unless their influence in the country is diminished. He accused Western Nations of arming Kyiv against Russia. After being ordered by Russia's leader to invade the capital of Ukraine, Russian troops moved in several directions. As the first targets were hit, airports and the military HQs were located near cities across Ukraine, then tanks and troops rolled into the country from the north, east, and south. The war has demolished most of the cities of the Ukraine and caused irreparable damage to the humanity.
Question: 1

Ukraine was part of which country during 1922-1991?

Updated On: Jul 14, 2026
  • Germany
  • Poland
  • USA
  • USSR
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The two years in the question, 1922 and 1991, are themselves the clue: 1922 is when the USSR was formally created with Ukraine as one of its founding republics, and 1991 is when the USSR dissolved and Ukraine declared independence.

  1. USSR: Matches both boundary years exactly, making it the only option consistent with the full period stated.
  2. Germany: Only briefly occupied parts of Ukraine during wartime, nowhere close to the full 1922-1991 span.
  3. Poland: Held only western Ukrainian territory for part of this period, not the whole country for the whole span.
  4. USA: Has no political union with Ukraine at any point in this timeframe.

So, the correct answer is USSR.

Question: 2

Who is the President of Ukraine?

Updated On: Jul 14, 2026
  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy
  • Vladimir Zelenskyy
  • Volodymyr S. Zelenskyy
  • Vladimir Zelensk
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Since all four options are variations of one name, the way to solve this is to check the first name and the surname separately.

  1. First name check: The Ukrainian President's given name is Volodymyr, the Ukrainian form, not Vladimir, which is the Russian equivalent. This immediately rules out the two options that use Vladimir.
  2. Surname check: Between the remaining two options, the standard spelling used in official and international contexts is Zelenskyy, without an inserted middle initial such as S.
  3. Result: The option that gets both the first name and the surname right, with no extra alterations, is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Hence, the correct answer is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Updated On: Jul 14, 2026
  • Guilder
  • Zloty
  • Ruble
  • Hryvnia
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

  2. Zloty belongs to Poland.
  3. Ruble belongs to Russia.
  4. Hryvnia belongs to Ukraine, introduced in 1996 after independence, and is the only one of the four actually tied to Ukraine.

Question: 4

The President of ukraine was formerly:

Updated On: Jul 14, 2026
  • Weather Forecaster
  • Navy Ofſcer
  • Comedian
  • TV News reader
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Zelenskyy's pre-political career is closely tied to entertainment, specifically comedy, which helps quickly separate the correct option from the rest.

  1. Comedian: He rose to fame as a comic actor, and his production company created the show Servant of the People, in which his character becomes President almost by accident, a plot that turned out to foreshadow his actual political career.
  2. Weather Forecaster, Navy Officer and TV News reader: None of these match his documented background, which was firmly rooted in comedy and acting rather than meteorology, the armed forces, or news broadcasting.

Hence, the correct answer is Comedian.

Question: 5

Which operation was launched by the Indian Government to bring back Indians from Ukraine during Russia-Ukraine war?

Updated On: Jul 14, 2026
  • Operation Kyiv
  • Operation Ganga
  • Operation Rakshak
  • Operation East Star
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

India's evacuation missions are usually named individually for each crisis, which makes this mostly a matter of recalling the specific name used for Ukraine in 2022.

  1. Operation Ganga: This is the correct name, referring to the evacuation of Indian nationals from Ukraine via neighbouring countries once Ukrainian airspace was shut, using civilian and Air Force flights out of border crossing points.
  2. Operation Kyiv, Operation Rakshak and Operation East Star: None of these correspond to the 2022 Ukraine evacuation, either belonging to unrelated operations or not being real named missions at all.

So, the correct answer is Operation Ganga.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
