    Abu Dhabi uses the time zone of 60° E longitude. If the time in Abu Dhabi is 12:00 pm on 1st January 2020, what will be the date and time in Sydney (which uses the time zone of 150° E longitude)

    Solutions

    360° implies one complete rotation of the earth, i.e. 360°= 24 hours

    ∴ 1° = 1440 min ÷ 360°

    = 4 min

    ∴ Every gain or loss of 1° longitude accounts for 4 minutes of gain or loss in time.

    Now, it should be noted that as you travel East of the International Date Line, you will gain time, and as you travel west, you will lose time. So every longitudinal degree increase towards the east of prime meridian will lead to 4 min increase in time and on every longitudinal degree increase towards west, we move back 4 minutes in time.

    Every 15°= 1 hour.

    150°-60°= 90°

    90°/15° = 6 hours

    90° E means an increase of 6 hours in time.

    1). Article 111 governs the veto power of the President.

    2). He can not exercise his veto over Constitutional Amendment Bill

    3). He can not exercise suspensive veto over Money Bill.

    Which of the following above statements is/are correct?

    Solutions

    Article 111 in India’s Constitution governs the Veto powers of the President over the bills. When a Bill is passed by the Parliament, it is presented to the President for his assent, and the President shall declare

    * His assents to the Bill

    * Withholds assent therefrom

    * The President of India may return the Bill to the Houses with a message for reconsideration.

    However, if the Houses of the Parliament re-enact the Bill with or without amendments and present it to the President for assent, the President shall not withhold assent. For a Bill to become an Act, the President must give his assent.

    In India, the President of India has three veto powers, i.e.

    * Absolute- The President can refuse to assent, which constitutes an absolute veto.

    * Suspensive – exercise this veto when he returns bill to Parliament for reconsideration.

    * Pocket- The President can also take no action indefinitely on a bill, sometimes referred to as a pocket veto.

    1 / -0.33

    Which of the following in Indian Preamble correctly defines the meaning of – ‘The achievement of socialist ends through democratic means’

    Solutions

    Socialism: Socialism is the achievement of socialist end through democratic means. Democratic socialism holds faith in a 'mixed economy' where both public and private sectors co-exist side by side'. Notably, the Indian brand of socialism is the 'democratic socialism' and not a 'communistic socialism' (also known as 'state socialism')

    As the Supreme Court says, the 'Democratic socialism aims to end poverty, ignorance, disease and inequality of opportunity. Indian socialism is a blend of Marxism and Gandhism, leaning heavily towards Gandhian socialism'.

    Even before the term was added by the 42nd Amendment in the year 1976, the Constitution had a socialist content in the form of certain Directive Principles of State Policy.
