Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We need the fruit that received its Geographical Indication tag specifically in October 2018.

Step 2: Key Approach:
All four fruits listed hold GI tags, so the answer depends on matching the exact registration month and year to October 2018.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Laxman Bhog Mango, Sirumalai Hill Banana, and Mahabaleshwar Strawberry all carry GI protection, but each was registered in a year other than the one asked about here. Shahi Litchi, grown in Bihar, received its GI tag in October 2018, matching the timing given in the question.

Step 4: Final Answer:
Shahi Litchi got the Geographical Indication tag in October 2018.

Approach Solution -2

Since a GI tag is tied to a specific place of origin, linking each fruit to its home region and then checking the registration timing for that region helps confirm the answer.

  1. Shahi Litchi: Grown in Bihar, this variety's GI registration in October 2018 recognised the specific climate and cultivation methods of that region as giving the fruit its distinct taste.
  2. Laxman Bhog Mango: Tied to its own growing region, its GI protection came through at a separate point in time, not this particular month.
  3. Sirumalai Hill Banana: Linked to its hill region of cultivation, its GI tag similarly dates from outside the window asked about in the question.
  4. Mahabaleshwar Strawberry: Associated with its own well known growing area, its registration, too, falls outside October 2018.

Tracing each fruit back to its region and registration date confirms that Shahi Litchi is the one that matches October 2018 specifically.

Therefore, the correct answer is Shahi Litchi.

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.
