Seems to me that answers of two questions in SAT i.e. 63 and 65 are wrong in this Answer key.
Q.63. In Which country first time the cultivation of opium begin ?
(a) Portugal (b) India
(c) China (d) Britain
Answer given in the Key issued by SIERT -Udaipur is (c) China.
First line on Second paragraph, Page no.132 of the chapter Peasants and Farmers, NCERT book clearly mentions that 'The Portuguese had introduced opium into China in the early sixteenth century.' So how the answer can be China. NCERT book is silent about which country first time the cultivation of opium begin ?. But Wikipedia says -
Cultivation of opium poppies for food, anaesthesia, and ritual purposes dates back to at least the Neolithic Age (new stone age). The Sumerian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Indian, Minoan, Greek, Roman, Persian and Arab Empires all made widespread use of opium, which was the most potent form of pain relief then available, allowing ancient surgeons to perform prolonged surgical procedures.

I think the answer should be India or atleast Portugal, China cannot be the answer.
Q.65. Who opened the first Cricket Club in India ?
(a) Britisher (b) Hindu
(c) Jurestreian (d) Muslim
Answer given by SIERT is (c)Jurestreian
Page no.149 of the Chapter - The Story of Cricket,NCERT book, last line clearly says -'The first record we have of cricket being played in India is from 1721, an account of recreational cricket played by English sailors in Cambay. The FIRST INDIAN CLUB, the CALCUTTA CRICKET CLUB was established in 1792.. Through the eighteenth century, cricket in India was almost wholly a sport played by British Military men and civil servantss in all-white clubs and gymkhanas.'
The second paragraph on the page 150 says -'The Parsis founded the FIRST INDIAN CRICKET CLUB, the ORIENTAL CRICKET CLUB in Bombay in 1848.
So its quiet clear that the ANSWER should be BRITISH rather then the JURESTREIN as SIERT, Udaipur says. Here I would like to mention one thing, Question asked was 'Who opened the First Cricket Club in India ?' it was not asked that 'Who opened the First Indian Cricket Club in India?'
So I think both these answers taken by SIERT, Udaipur is wrong, I would like to request all Students and parents to write to SIERT, Udipur to reconsider the answer of the above questions.
