A.Hindu-Muslim
B.Maratha-Sikh
C.English-Muslim
D.English-Maratha

Correct answer: A

This maps to "Hindu-Muslim". The Election Commission of India (Article 324) is a permanent constitutional body; it superintends, directs and controls all elections to Parliament, State Legislatures, President and Vice-President. The Revolt of 1857 began on 10 May 1857 at Meerut; it is regarded as India's first war of independence. Note that the wrong options carry closely related terminology; a five-second sanity check against the stem is enough to eliminate them.

A.Mahila Vidyalaya
B.Anath Balikashram
C.Maharashtra Gram Prathamik Shikshan Mandal
D.Samata Manch

Correct answer: A

Mahila Vidyalaya matches the question. The year 1907 anchors this question — the correct option is the fact that dates to that year. Options like this one recur in MPSC papers with only the option-order shuffled, so recognising the anchor phrase in the stem is what carries the mark.

A.4th (Fourth)
B.5th (Fifth)
C.6th (Sixth)
D.None of these

Correct answer: B

Option B carries the right answer — 5th (Fifth). India's Five Year Plans (1951–2017) ran from the First (1951–56) under Nehru to the Twelfth (2012–17); post-2017 planning shifted to three-year action agendas under NITI Aayog. Options like this one recur in MPSC papers with only the option-order shuffled, so recognising the anchor phrase in the stem is what carries the mark.

A.Khudiram Bose
B.Anant Kanhere
C.Bhupendranath
D.Barindra Ghosh

Correct answer: B

"Anant Kanhere" is the option marked correct in the official key. The year 1909 anchors this question — the correct option is the fact that dates to that year. Add this correct option to your active-recall flashcard deck; MPSC repeats the underlying fact in some form every two to three prelim cycles.

A.Block Development Officer
B.Speaker
C.Chief Executive Officer
D.Deputy-Speaker

Correct answer: A

The exam key confirms "Block Development Officer". This kind of item rewards steady factual reading over aggressive shortcut techniques — the marks come from having read the source once, not from clever elimination.
