Official Answer Key of Bihar NTSE Stage I 2016

SCERT, Patna, Bihar
came up with the NTSE official answer key

http://vidyalayavihar.in/scrt/NTSE2017ProvisionalAnswerKey.pdf

In SAT paper Answer of the following questions needs to be corrected
Q.86. To which Article of the Indian Constitution is the verdict of the S.R.Bommai versus Union of India related ?
(1) Article 29            (2) Article 32              (3) Article 353              (4) Article 356
Answer given in the official answer key is (1) Article 29
The Correct answer should be (4) Article 356
Article 29 is related with Protection of Interests of Minorities
S. R. Bommai v. Union of India ([1994] 2 SCR 644 : AIR 1994 SC 1918 : (1994)3 SCC1) was a landmark judgment of the Supreme Court of India, where the Court discussed at length provisions of Article 356 of the Constitution of India and related issues. This case had huge impact on Centre-State Relations. The judgement attempted to curb blatant misuse of Article 356 of the Constitution of India, which allowed President's rule to be imposed over state governments.

(4)

Answer given in the official answer key is (2) The President
The Correct answer should be (3) The Election Commission
Every party in the country has to register with the Election Commission. While the Commission treats all parties equally, it offers some special facilities to large and established parties.  These
parties are given a unique symbol – only the official candidates of that party can use that election symbol. Parties that get this privilege and some other special facilities are ‘recognised’ by the Election Commission for this purpose. That is why these parties are called, ‘recognised
political parties’. The Election Commission has laid down detailed criteria of the proportion of votes and seats that a party must get in order to be a recognised party. (Page No. 79, NCERT Civics book of Class X)
http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/RegisterationPoliticalParties.aspx

Q.89. What is a Pressure group ?
(1) A group struggling for power                     (2) A group struggling for fulfilling its own interest
(3) Political Party                                             (4) Private group
Answer given in the official answer key is (4) The President
It should be a Bonus question, other than (3) i.e Political Party all other three options are correct.


Q.90. Of the following what are the main functions of a political party
(i) Role of opposition                                (ii) To contest election for getting power
(iii) Development of political awareness among the people   (iv) Formation of government
(1) (i) & (ii)                    (2) (ii) & (iii)               (3) (iii) & (iv)         (4) All of the above

(iii) Undemocratization of system        (iv) Unitary government
(1) (i) & (iii)            (2) (i) & (ii)          (3) (iii) & (iv)             (4) all of the above
Answer given in the official answer key is (1) (i) & (ii)
The Correct answer should be (2) (i) & (ii)
beWhen power is taken away from Central and State governments and given to  local  gover nment,  it  is  called decentralisation. The basic idea behind decentralisation is that there are a large number of problems and issues which are best settled at the local level. People have better knowledge of problems in their localities. They also have better ideas on where to spend money and how to manage things more efficiently. Besides, at the local level it is possible for the people to directly participate in decision making. This helps to inculcate a habit odemocratic participation. Local government is the best way to realise one important principle odemocracy, namely local self-government.
(Page No. 24, NCERT Civics book of Class X)

Answer given in the official answer key is (1) (i) & (iv)
The Correct answer should be (3) (i),(ii) & (iv)

final answer key

objections and clearifications (SAT D) -
Q.26. Free Trade of goods among nations is called
(A) Privatisation                  (B) Liberalisation                 (C) Globalisation          (D) Exclusion
Answer given in the official answer key is (C) i.e Globalisation
My answer is (B) i.e Liberalisation
Removing barriers or restrictions set by the government is what is known as liberalisation. With liberalisation of trade, businesses are allowed to make decisions freely about what they wish to import or export. The government imposes much less restrictions than before and is therefore said to be more liberal. (last lines, page No. 64, Class X NCERT Economics Book)
Globalisation is the process of rapid integration or interconnection between countries. MNCs are playing a major role in the globalisation process. More and more goods and services, investments and technology are moving between countries. (page No. 62, Class X NCERT Economics Book)
So the correct answer should be (B) Liberalisation
Q.32. "Durand line" is the boundary between :
(A) India and Pakistan (B) India and China  (C) Pakistan and Afghanistan (D) India and Afghanistan
Answer given in the official answer key is (C) i.e Pakistan and Afghanistan
My answer is, it should be BONUS question, as both (C) Pakistan and Afghanistan and (D) India and Afghanistan is correct answer.
Officially India does share a boundary with Afghanistan, however that is in Kashmir area right now occupied by Pakistan. Durand line is the line demarcating boundary between India and Afghanistan. It was demarcated in 1896 by Sir Moretimer Durand.
Recently National Security Advisor Ajit Doval said - India shares a 106-km border with Afghanistan which people do not factor in, national security advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval said on Friday, hinting both at India's claim to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and the threat that withdrawal of Nato forces from Afghanistan poses for internal security in India.

Q.38 Which National Highway connects Amritsar with Kolkatta via Delhi ?
(A) N.H.1           (B) N.H.2              (C) N.H.4                 (D) N.H.8
Official answer key says N.H.2
according to me this question is Bonus
The map on page no. 83, Chapter No.7 Geography NCERT Book of Class X clearly shows that N.H.1 is between Amritsar to Delhi and from Delhi to Kolkatta is N.H.2
