Free Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of the questions included in this test set. Test your preparation by viewing the answer and detailed explanation before starting the timed exam.

Critically analyze why the Permanent Settlement of 1793 in Bengal failed to achieve Lord Cornwallis's objective of agricultural capital improvement:

Bengal experienced zero rainfall for thirty consecutive years

The British government abolished all customs duties on agricultural crops

Peasants owned 100% of all fertile land and refused to pay taxes

The revenue demanded was fixed excessively high at the outset, leading to zamindars being evicted upon default; furthermore, zamindars found collecting rent far easier and lucrative than investing in land development

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

High initial revenue bankrupted traditional zamindaris. Absentee landlords living in Calcutta merely rented land out without investing in irrigation or soil.

Compare the socio-economic position of the peasant cultivator (Ryot) under the Permanent Settlement versus the Ryotwari system:

Under Permanent Settlement, the ryot was reduced to a vulnerable tenant paying exorbitant rents to the zamindar; under Ryotwari, the ryot held direct land tenure but faced crushing, periodically revised state revenue assessments

Under Permanent Settlement, peasants could dismiss their zamindars at will

Peasants under Ryotwari paid zero tax to any authority

Both systems made all peasants wealthy factory owners within five years

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Both systems ultimately extracted maximum agrarian surplus: Permanent Settlement via oppressive zamindari rents, and Ryotwari via excessive state tax assessments.

How Chapter-Wise Online CBT Tests Build Winning Habits for Future Competitive Exams

Early practice in high school builds the mental muscle, speed, and analytical discipline required to ace NTSE, Olympiads, JNVST, CUET, and Foundation JEE/NEET.

Competitive Edge

Real-Time Clock Awareness & Pacing

समय प्रबंधन एवं गति नियंत्रण

In school examinations, students write answers without active pacing. In national entrance tests, students have barely 45-60 seconds per MCQ. Practicing with a 20-minute timer instills instinctive time-budgeting and prevents last-minute exam panic.

Mastery of the Elimination Technique

विकल्प निष्कासन विधि में दक्षता

Top rankers in competitive exams rarely compute every problem blindly. They spot subtle traps, evaluate extreme values, and eliminate 2 out of 4 distractors within seconds. Our 4-option sets teach critical distractor analysis.

CBT Screen Stamina & Digital Comfort

कंप्यूटर आधारित परीक्षा का सहज अभ्यास

Almost all major national exams (CUET, JEE, NEET, SSC, Banking) are 100% computer-based. Students who only study on paper experience eye strain and navigation mistakes on exam day. Early CBT practice creates effortless digital fluency.

Immunity to Negative Marking

सटीकता और नकारात्मक अंकन से सुरक्षा

Careless errors—such as misreading "NOT" or "EXCEPT"—ruin thousands of competitive aspirations each year. Regular objective testing builds the habit of double-checking question keywords before locking answers.

Instant Diagnostic Feedback Loop

तत्काल त्रुटि निवारण एवं आत्म-मूल्यांकन

Traditional paper tests take weeks to grade, by which time the student has forgotten their thought process. TargetExams provides instant scorecards and step-by-step solutions while the conceptual puzzle is still fresh.
