The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

This question is about identifying India's fastest train by comparing operational speeds. Going through each option:

  1. Gatiman Express: Fast on its Delhi-Agra route, but not the fastest overall.
  2. Shatabdi Express: A reliable high-speed service, though slower than the newest trains introduced.
  3. Vande Bharat Express: Introduced in 2019 with a top speed of 180 km/h, it holds the title of India's fastest train.
  4. Rajdhani Express: Runs at a comparatively lower speed than the Vande Bharat Express.

Among the four, the Vande Bharat Express has the highest top speed.

The correct answer is Vande Bharat Express.

Approach Solution -2

Since faster trains tend to be the newer ones as engineering improves over time, ranking the four services by how recently each was introduced offers another route to the answer.

  1. Rajdhani Express: This is the oldest premier service among the four, dating back decades, and reflects the speed standards of an earlier generation of Indian trains.
  2. Shatabdi Express: Introduced later than the Rajdhani, it improved on speed somewhat but still predates the most recent generation of high-speed trains.
  3. Gatiman Express: Launched in 2016 as India's first 160 km/h service at the time, it represented a further step up but was soon surpassed by an even newer train.
  4. Vande Bharat Express: As the newest of the four, flagged off in 2019, it was engineered specifically to beat the speed of every train before it, reaching 180 km/h.

Following the trend of each newer generation of trains being faster than the last places the most recently introduced service, the Vande Bharat Express, at the top.

Therefore, the correct answer is Vande Bharat Express.

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.

According to the passage, which was the unfinished part of Gandhi's experiment?

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.
