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.

In his renowned dialogue 'The Republic', how does Plato systematically deconstruct Thrasymachus's cynical sophist definition that 'Justice is nothing other than the advantage of the stronger' (might is right)?

अपने प्रसिद्ध संवाद ग्रंथ 'द रिपब्लिक' में, प्लेटो ने सोफिस्ट थ्रैसीमेकस की इस संशयवादी परिभाषा—'न्याय बलवान का हित है' (Might is Right)—का सुकरात के माध्यम से किस प्रकार व्यवस्थित खंडन किया?

Socrates argues through the craft analogy (technē) that true arts (like medicine or governance) inherently aim at the welfare of their subjects rather than the practitioner, concluding that a ruler's moral duty is the common good of the ruled, not self-aggrandizementसुकरात ने शिल्प सादृश्य (Technē) के माध्यम से तर्क दिया कि सच्चा शिल्प (जैसे चिकित्सा या शासन) शिल्पकार के बजाय उसके विषयों के कल्याण के लिए होता है; अतः एक सच्चे शासक का नैतिक कर्तव्य शासितों का साझा हित साधना है, न कि अपना स्वार्थ

Socrates physically banishes Thrasymachus from Athens and commands all citizens to never question military dictatorsसुकरात ने थ्रैसीमेकस को एथेंस से बाहर निकाल दिया और नागरिकों को कभी सैन्य तानाशाहों पर सवाल न उठाने का आदेश दिया

Socrates agrees completely with Thrasymachus and proclaims that tyrants are the most virtuous human beings on Earthसुकरात थ्रैसीमेकस से पूरी तरह सहमत हो गए और घोषणा की कि तानाशाह पृथ्वी पर सबसे गुणी इंसान हैं

Socrates proves that justice does not exist anywhere in the universe and therefore societies must dissolve all lawsसुकरात ने साबित किया कि ब्रह्मांड में न्याय जैसी कोई चीज नहीं है, इसलिए समाजों को सभी कानून खत्म कर देने चाहिए

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Thrasymachus argued that laws are merely instruments crafted by rulers for their own self-interest. Socrates refutes this by showing that genuine governance, like the physician's art, seeks the good of the patient/citizen. Furthermore, injustice causes internal faction and disharmony, whereas justice enables collective cooperation.

थ्रैसीमेकस ने कहा था कि 'जिसकी लाठी, उसकी भैंस'—यानी ताकतवर जो चाहे वही कानून है। सुकरात ने इसका खंडन करते हुए कहा कि जैसे एक डॉक्टर का धर्म मरीज का इलाज करना है न कि अपना स्वार्थ देखना, वैसे ही एक सच्चे शासक का कर्तव्य अपनी प्रजा का भला करना है। अन्याय से समाज में कलह और फूट पड़ती है, जबकि न्याय से सब मिलकर तरक्की करते हैं।

How does Jean-Jacques Rousseau's conception of the 'General Will' (Volonté Générale) philosophically transcend a mere numerical aggregation of private, selfish interests (Volonté de Tous / Will of All)?

जीन-जैक्स रूसो की 'सामान्य इच्छा' (General Will) की अवधारणा व्यक्तिगत स्वार्थों के मात्र संख्यात्मक जोड़ ('सबकी इच्छा' / Will of All) से दार्शनिक रूप से किस प्रकार उच्चतर और भिन्न है?

The General Will embodies the sovereign collective interest aimed exclusively at the common good, where citizens deliberate as moral members of the body politic, whereas the Will of All is merely the mathematical sum of private, factional, and self-regarding desiresसामान्य इच्छा (General Will) पूरे समाज के साझा और नैतिक कल्याण पर केंद्रित संप्रभु इच्छा का प्रतीक है जहाँ नागरिक व्यक्तिगत स्वार्थ भूलकर साझा भलाई सोचते हैं, जबकि 'सबकी इच्छा' (Will of All) केवल निजी स्वार्थों का गणितीय जोड़ मात्र है

The General Will is the private decree issued by an absolute hereditary monarch enforced by secret policeसामान्य इच्छा गुप्त पुलिस द्वारा लागू किए गए एक पूर्ण वंशानुगत राजा का निजी आदेश है

The Will of All represents universal enlightened justice while the General Will represents chaotic mob violenceसबकी इच्छा सार्वभौमिक न्याय का प्रतिनिधित्व करती है जबकि सामान्य इच्छा अराजक भीड़ की हिंसा का

Rousseau used both terms interchangeably to describe the commercial transactions of corporate merchantsरूसो ने दोनों शब्दों का उपयोग व्यापारियों के व्यावसायिक लेन-देन का वर्णन करने के लिए किया था

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Rousseau distinguished the 'Will of All' (a sum of private particular interests, often conflicting and selfish) from the 'General Will' (which considers only the common interest and common good). Obeying the General Will ensures genuine moral and civil freedom under legitimate popular sovereignty.

रूसो ने बहुत गहरा अंतर समझाया: 'सबकी इच्छा' (Will of All) का मतलब है जब हर व्यक्ति सिर्फ अपने-अपने स्वार्थ के बारे में सोचता है और उन्हें जोड़ दिया जाए। जबकि 'सामान्य इच्छा' (General Will) वह पावन इच्छा है जब समाज का हर नागरिक अपने निजी स्वार्थ से ऊपर उठकर पूरे समाज की भलाई के लिए सोचता है और फैसला लेता है।

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

Focused chapter-wise CBT practice builds the speed, mental stamina, and analytical discipline required to ace CUET, JEE Main, NEET UG, NDA, CA Foundation, and College Entrance Exams.

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
