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 10, 2026
  • Germany
  • Poland
  • USA
  • USSR
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

  3. USSR: formed in 1922 with Ukraine as a founding republic, and dissolved in 1991, exactly bracketing the dates given.

Question: 2

Who is the President of Ukraine?

Show Hint

The correct Ukrainian spelling is Volodymyr, not Vladimir.
Updated On: Jul 10, 2026
  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy
  • Vladimir Zelenskyy
  • Volodymyr S. Zelenskyy
  • Vladimir Zelensky
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

All four options refer to the same real person, so the real test is spotting the two spots where a name can be written wrong, the first name and the end of the surname.

  1. First name: the correct Ukrainian form is "Volodymyr," not the Russian "Vladimir."
  2. Surname ending: the standard transliteration ends in a double "y," "Zelenskyy," not a single "y."
  3. Checking all four options against these two points, only one gets both right.

The correct option is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Approach Solution -2

Look at which language's convention each option is quietly borrowing from.

  1. Vladimir Zelenskyy and Vladimir Zelensky: both borrow the Russian first name, "Vladimir," which is not the form the Ukrainian president uses for himself.
  2. Volodymyr S. Zelenskyy: uses the correct Ukrainian first name but adds a middle initial that is not part of his standard public name.
  3. Volodymyr Zelenskyy: uses the Ukrainian first name and the correctly transliterated double-"y" surname, matching the form used in official communications and most international media.

The correct answer is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Question: 3

Which is the currency of Ukraine?

Show Hint

Ukraine → Hryvnia; Poland → Zloty; Russia → Ruble.
Updated On: Jul 10, 2026
  • Guilder
  • Zloty
  • Ruble
  • Hryvnia
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

Each of the other three names belongs to a specific, different country, so matching country to currency rules them out quickly.

  1. Guilder pairs with the Netherlands.
  2. Zloty pairs with Poland.
  3. Ruble pairs with Russia.
  4. Hryvnia is the one name left, and it pairs correctly with Ukraine.

The correct option is Hryvnia.

Approach Solution -2

Notice that three of the four currencies belong to countries near or historically linked to Ukraine, while only one is Ukraine's own.

  1. Guilder: a Western European currency, unrelated geographically.
  2. Zloty: belongs to Poland, a direct neighbour, but still not Ukraine's currency.
  3. Ruble: belongs to Russia, a country Ukraine shares a long border and history with, but again a separate country's money.
  4. Hryvnia: the only option actually issued by Ukraine itself.

The correct answer is Hryvnia.

Question: 4

The President of Ukraine was formerly:

Show Hint

Zelenskyy → comedian turned president.
Updated On: Jul 10, 2026
  • Weather Forecaster
  • Navy Officer
  • Comedian
  • TV News Reader
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

Anchor the answer to one well-known fact, Zelenskyy starred in the sitcom "Servant of the People," playing a schoolteacher who accidentally becomes president.

  1. That show is a comedy series, so his role in it was as a comic actor, not a weather presenter, naval officer, or news anchor.
  2. His production company, Kvartal 95, also made comedy sketches and shows before his political career began.

The correct option is Comedian.

Approach Solution -2

Group the four options by career type, uniformed service, broadcast-news media, weather presenting, and entertainment.

  1. Navy Officer: uniformed service, no match to his known background.
  2. TV News Reader: broadcast-news media, still not a match, since his TV work was scripted comedy and drama, not news.
  3. Weather Forecaster: a narrow media role he never held.
  4. Comedian: entertainment, matching his actual pre-2019 career as an actor and comedian, most famous for "Servant of the People."

The correct answer is Comedian.

Updated On: Jul 10, 2026
  • Operation Kyiv
  • Operation Ganga
  • Operation Rakshak

The question is about a 2022 civilian evacuation from a war zone, so check which of the four names actually matches that kind of mission.

  1. Operation Rakshak and Operation East Star: both are internal-security operations within India, not evacuation missions abroad.

  3. Operation Ganga: the officially announced name for flying Indian nationals out of Ukraine via Romania, Hungary and Poland in 2022.

The correct option is Operation Ganga.

  1. Operation Rakshak: a domestic security operation, run inside India's own borders.
  2. Operation East Star: also a domestic security operation, run in Manipur.
  3. Operation Kyiv: fits no known category, since it is not a real government-named operation.
  4. Operation Ganga: the one name that fits the "foreign evacuation" category, matching exactly what the question describes.

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.
