Correct Answer : Option (B) - Afghans and the Marathas
The Third Battle of Panipat took place on 14 January 1761, at Panipat, about 60 miles (95.5 km) north of Delhi between a northern expeditionary force of the Maratha Empire and a coalition of the King of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Durrani with two Indian Muslim allies—the Rohilla Afghans of the Doab, and Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Oudh. Militarily, the battle pitted the French-supplied artillery and cavalry of the Marathas against the heavy cavalry and mounted artillery(zamburak and jizail) of the Afghans and Rohillas led by Ahmad Shah Durrani and Najib-ud-Daulah, both ethnic Pashtuns (the former is also known as Ahmad Shah Abdali). The battle is considered one of the largest fought in the 18th century, and has perhaps the largest number of fatalities in a single day reported in a classic formation battle between two armies.
Correct Answer : Lakshya Sen
* Lakshya Sen, the 23-year-old Indian badminton star from Almora, clinched third place at the King Cup International Badminton Open in Bangkok. * He defeated French rising star Alex Lanier in the bronze-medal playoff with a convincing scoreline of 21-17, 21-11. * This achievement highlights Lakshya’s consistent performance and resilience on the international stage despite narrowly missing out in the semifinals.
Correct Answer : Jasprit Bumrah
* Jasprit Bumrah made history as the fastest Indian bowler to reach 200 wickets in Test cricket, achieving this milestone in just 44 Tests. * He surpassed the previous record held by Mohammed Shami. Bumrah's exceptional performance, including a standout display in the Boxing Day Test against Australia, helped him achieve this feat with remarkable efficiency. His average of 19.56 made him the first bowler to reach 200 wickets with a sub-20 average, further cementing his place among the best Test bowlers globally.
Correct Answer : 6.5-6.8%
* Deloitte forecasts the Indian economy to grow at 6.5-6.8% in FY25, driven by strong domestic consumption, infrastructure development, and digitisation efforts. * While challenges such as geopolitical tensions and global liquidity constraints may pose risks, India’s resilience in services, manufacturing exports, and stable capital markets provides a solid foundation for sustained economic growth.
