    Show answer

    Answer: (C) Anandpur (Second) — victory

    Explanation: The second Battle of Anandpur is recorded as ending with the evacuation of Anandpur, so the third pair is incorrect. Nirmohgarh and the first Battle of Anandpur are both recorded as victories. At Khidrana, the Sikhs defeated the Mughals, so the fourth pair is correct. The source also records the sacrifice of forty Sikhs at Khidrana.

    Show answer

    Answer: (A) The visit took place before the Battle of Khidrana.

    Explanation: The first statement is incorrect because the notes place the visit after the Battle of Khidrana. The invitation came from Chaudhary Dalla, so the second statement is correct. He is described as a Brar Sikh, making the third statement correct, and Talwandi Sabo is identified as Damdama Sahib, making the fourth correct. The source connects this place with the preparation of the final version of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

18. Assertion (A): The notes name Bhai Mati Das Ji and Bhai Dayala Ji among the followers martyred with Guru Teg Bahadur Ji.Reason (R): The execution was ordered by Bahadur Shah.Select the correct answer.

    1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
    2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
    3. A is true but R is false
    4. A is false but R is true
    Show answer

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

    Explanation: Assertion A is true because the martyrdom account names Bhai Mati Das Ji and Bhai Dayala Ji. Reason R is false because the source attributes the execution order to Aurangzeb. Bahadur Shah is instead associated with Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s assistance in the Battle of Jajau and their subsequent meeting.

19. Assertion (A): The notes identify Bhai Mani Singh as the scribe in the preparation of the final version of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.Reason (R): Talwandi Sabo is also called Guru Ki Kashi.Select the correct answer.

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

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

    Explanation: Assertion A is true because the source names Bhai Mani Singh in connection with the writing of the final version. Reason R is also true because Talwandi Sabo is identified as Guru Ki Kashi. The place’s alternative name does not explain who performed the writing, so R is not the correct explanation of A. The source also calls Talwandi Sabo Damdama Sahib.

20. Assertion (A): The Khalsa’s founding day is celebrated as Vaisakhi.Reason (R): Khande di Pahul was not given on the day the Khalsa was established.Select the correct answer.

    2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
    3. A is true but R is false
    4. A is false but R is true
    Show answer

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

    Explanation: Assertion A is true because the notes identify Vaisakhi as the celebration of the Khalsa’s founding day. Reason R is false because the source explicitly states that Khande di Pahul was given on the founding day. Therefore, the correct combination is a true assertion and a false reason. The source describes Khande di Pahul as Amrit.

Guru Teg Bahadur Ji and Guru Gobind Singh Ji - Part 2 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.
