Both statements are correct.

Explanation:

1. The Calcutta Madrasah was established in 1781 by Warren Hastings, the Governor-General of India under the British East India Company. Its primary purpose was to train Indians in the knowledge of Islamic law and jurisprudence, so that they could assist the British administration in the Company's courts. Similarly, the William College was established in 1800 by Lord Wellesley to provide education in Indian languages, literature, and law to the British civil servants, so that they could better govern the Indian territories under the Company's rule. Both these institutions were designed to produce a steady stream of qualified Indians who could help in the administration of law in the Company's courts.

2. During the British rule in India, the knowledge of classical languages (like Sanskrit and Persian) and vernaculars (like Hindi, Bengali, and Marathi) was crucial for effective communication and correspondence with the local rulers and the Indian population. These languages were used in legal documents, official records, and treaties with Indian states. Learning these languages enabled the British officials to better understand the Indian culture, customs, and legal systems, and thereby helped them in administering the territories under their control. Hence, the knowledge of classical languages and vernaculars was indeed useful in correspondence with Indian states.

The Goa state government will set up a blended finance facility in partnership with the World Bank. This is the first of its kind, climate-focused, multi-sectoral initiative at the sub-national level. This will provide financial support to low-carbon climate friendly initiatives in Goa. The World Bank was established in the year 1944. Its headquarters is in Washington, D.C. Is in.

Given that, a =x³y² = x × x × x × y × y
and b = xy³ = x × y × y × y
∴ HCF of a and b = HCF (x³y²,xy³) = x × y × y = xy² 
[Since, HCF is the product of the smallest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers]

Let the distance be x km. Then,
(Time taken to walls x km) + (Time taken to ride x km) = 23/4 hrs
⇒  (Time taken to walls 2x km) + Time taken to ride 2x km  =  23/2 hrs
but time taken to ride 2x km = 15/4 hrs 
Therefore, Time taken to walk 2x km = (23/2 - 15/4) hrs = 31/4 hrs =7 hr 45 min.

On simplification,

√35 = √(7x5) = √7 x √5
= 8√35 = 8 x √7 x √5
= 8 x √7 x √5
     4 x √5
=2√7

80% of B = 125% of C
Efficiency → B : C = 125 : 80 = 25 : 16
Time → B : C = 16 : 25

Hence, Option C is correct.

The side of the square must be the same as the breadth of the rectangle.
Side of the square = 4 meters
So the answer = 4 × 4 = 16 m²
Hence, Option D is correct.

√4 = 2, √9 = 3, √16 = 4 but √2 = 1.414 it is a non-terminating and non-repeating number and such numbers are called irrational numbers. So, √2 is not a rational number.
