   3. Both 1 and 2
   4. Neither 1 nor 2
   Show answer

   Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2

   Explanation: Statement 1 is correct because the revision box records eleven years of Guruship. Statement 2 is correct because the city founded by Guru Ji is identified as Anandpur Sahib, also known as Chakk Nanaki. Thus both statements are correct; the same revision box names Mata Gujri Ji as his wife.

10. Consider the following statements about the compositions listed in the chapter:1.Gyan Prabodh is included among Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s compositions.2.Khalse di Mahima is excluded from that list.Which of the above is/are correct?

    Show answer

    Answer: (B) 1 only

    Explanation: Statement 1 is correct because Gyan Prabodh appears in the list of key compositions. Statement 2 is incorrect because Khalse di Mahima also appears in that list. Only statement 1 is correct, and Swayye is another entry in the same list.

    Explanation: Statement 1 is correct: the notes describe the Zafarnama as a letter to Aurangzeb. Statement 2 is also correct: the place of writing is given as village Dina. Both statements are therefore correct, and the letter was sent through Bhai Daya Singh and Bhai Dharam Singh.

    3. Both 1 and 2
    4. Neither 1 nor 2
    Show answer

    Answer: (A) 1 only

    Explanation: Statement 1 is correct because the battle table lists Alif Khan on the opposing side. Statement 2 is incorrect because the result column records a victory. Only statement 1 is correct, and the table identifies Alif Khan with the Mughals.

13. Which of the following is NOT listed as a wife of Guru Gobind Singh Ji in the notes?

    1. Mata Jito Ji
    2. Mata Nanki Ji
    3. Mata Sundari Ji

    Show answer

    Answer: (B) Mata Nanki Ji

    Show answer

    Answer: (C) Kangha, Kesh, Khande di Pahul

    Explanation: The third group contains Khande di Pahul, which is Amrit initiation rather than one of the Five Ks. The other three groups contain only items from the list: Kachhera, Kara, Kirpan, Kangha and Kesh. The notes connect the giving of Khande di Pahul with the founding of the Khalsa.

    3. A is true but R is false
    4. A is false but R is true
    Show answer

    Answer: (D) A is false but R is true

    Answer: (B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

    Explanation: Assertion A is true according to the source’s account of the final version of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Reason R is also true: the source attributes the later compilation of the Dasam Granth to Bhai Mani Singh. R concerns a separate collection and does not explain the addition described in A. The notes locate the preparation of the final version of Sri Guru Granth Sahib at Talwandi Sabo, also called Damdama Sahib.

Guru Teg Bahadur Ji and Guru Gobind Singh Ji - Part 1 is factual rather than analytical: you either recall it in seconds or you lose the mark to somebody who did. That makes it one of the cheapest sections to convert - a handful of short sittings usually settles the whole cluster.

Expect one-line recall questions - definitions, stand-for expansions, identifiers and the ordering of things. Practise the wording as well as the concept: these papers test terminology, and the set above uses the same four-option shape they do.

Past papers reuse clusters like this almost verbatim across years and posts. Run the same set until every distractor is familiar - previous-year style questions stop being recall and start being free marks.
