Q01
These are the lyrics of a song written for
a certain important event in 1883. It was
printed in a monthly magazine
“Melbourn Punch”, it has the same
rhyming scheme as that of a british
poem “What’s at the Window”.
A part of these lyrics are still a very
important part of the event talked
about.
What Event?

Q02
There is a common custom of
including important landmarks
from the city in the jersey of the
city’s sports team. Following this
custom, Mumbai Indians in 2010
put golden stripes throughout
the top part of their jersey as
shown in the adjacent picture.
Identify what did these
represent.

Q03
X was originally from baseball but now has found its way into
volleyball, football and cricket. It works on the principle of minimizing
the spin of the ball while its moving in the air, causing an erratic,
unpredictable motion.
The air flow over a seam of the ball causes the ball to change from
laminar to turbulent flow. This change adds a deflecting force to the
baseball, making it difficult for batters to hit, for goalkeepers to
catch, for players to volley and even for the user to control.
Identify this technique X, named after the body part used for its
delivery and whose masters include (but not limited to) Juninho,
Zaheer Khan and Eddie Cicotte - one of the creators of it.

Q04
Another tale from the
Mahabharata involves Arjuna’s
son, Abhimanyu, who invaded
the Chakravyuh, a
seven-tiered defensive army
formation, of the Kauravas.
It draws sporting parallels to a
sport X in which a player
moves into the opposition side,
who somewhat have the same
motive as that of Kauravas.
Identify the sport.

Q05
We will never forget January 10, 2012;
then it was the day that the Indian
national football team faced FC
Bayern Munich for a mid-season
friendly in the first-ever Audi Football
Summit at the Jawaharlal Nehru
Stadium in New Delhi.
Bayern Munich in the end won 4-0,
but that day it was about something
else, which was happening for the
last time for India.
What is the event mentioned here?

Q06
The term "X moment" is used
metaphorically to describe a
transformative event or breakthrough in
the Indian business landscape, where a
relatively small or local company achieves
remarkable success by whitewashing its
competition, challenges established
players, or introduces disruptive Cost Cuts.
X is a very popular company, jingle of
whose became a earworm for millions.
Identify X.

Q07
The logo of the X shows hansa, the swan, which is a symbol of the
pursuit of knowledge. The three intertwined swans symbolize the
three major aspects of X: Research & Development, Training and
Extension. The design is taken from an Ashokan period relic of the
3rd century BCE which was found in excavations near Maski in
Raichur district, Karnataka. The motto has been taken from the
Isha Upanishad and means 'life eternal through learning'.
Identify X.

Q08
X was an Indian band consisting of Y (lead vocals, backing guitars, lyrics, THE
GAWD), Atul Mittal (lead guitars, clarinet, backing vocals) and others. X also
shares its name with the first global trade route in history.
They lasted only two albums,but even their debut album was so good, you
could literally sink even in a drop of it.
Y had his biggest rise to national prominence in 2011 as he attracted
mainstream attention for his contribution to the soundtrack of Rockstar,
which reunited him with Ali and Rahman. Also the Aarakshan movie song by
him was the best (personal fav, ok no more fanboying). Brownie points for
guessing this song.
Identify the band X(0.75) and the music composer Y(0.25).

Q09
Shown here is the flat structure of a
chemical molecule, synthesised in the
late 1960s, and named after the
structure’s look, and events happening
in the world.
Another very apt connection is the

-OH group is present.
What is the molecule named after?
Which numbered carbon atom is the
-OH present on?

Q10
These are symbolic
representation of X, which is
considered a symbol of
development for cities and has
also become part of people’s day
to day lives.
Identify X.

Q11
There are two such towers in
Hyderabad, these are called “Towers
of Silence”. These were used by a
certain community for X by Vultures,
but as it has been more than 20 years
since a vulture swooped down here as
they are on the verge of extinction.
The community has moved onto an
alternative for X by using Y which is
quite evident in the picture.
Describe X and Technique Y.

Q12
Over 70 years ago, in a 1953 landmark series of studies, Jeremy Morris
and his colleagues examined the activity levels among different
occupations to demonstrate a link between lack of exercise and
increased risk of cardiovascular disease in London.
They looked at two groups of subjects, who were similar
demographically(same age and social class) and had same
workplace. The only difference was that one group remained seated all
day, while the other climbed about 500-750 steps per working day.
Who were these groups?

Q13
Music producer Laxmikanth (of Laxmikanth-Pyarelal) and lyricist (a
then young) Javed Akhtar were struggling to come up with an exciting
song for an N Chandra movie. After three-four fruitless sittings, Javed
Akhtar dropped out.
Afraid that Laxmikanth would drop out next, N Chandra shared with him
a signature Koli tune playing in his head. Laxmikanth had heard of it too
and immediately created dummy lyrics for the tune.
This dummy song was then dispatched to Javed Akhtar to fill lyrics in
but in a stroke of genius, he used the same dummy lyrics in the
original song.
The song became a major hit and inspired the creation of a new
category of Filmfare Awards.
ID the song (0.75) and the category of awards (0.25).

GIVE X.

Q16
While X has been part of Indian Traditions for a very long time in many
different forms, but apparently the most popular form today is not native
to India and hence in recent times it’s been called Y.
The most popular version of the story told is that the method of preparing
X reached China almost millennia after India. However, the Chinese
Emperor did not approve of the colour and as a result, Chinese people
found a way to make it white. This refined X found its way back to India
later and since it came from China this time, we started calling it Y.
Identify X and it’s current popular name Y.
