Important Points

The Correct Answer  is A: 1 Only

Explanation for the Correct Answer:
The Bhimbetka rock shelters are an archaeological site in central India that spans the prehistoric Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods, as well as the historic period. It exhibits the earliest traces of human life on the Indian subcontinent and evidence of Stone Age habitation starting at the site in Acheulian times.
1. Evidence of Use of Tools and Implements:

• Bhimbetka caves indeed demonstrate the continuity of human evolution from the Lower Paleolithic period to the Mesolithic period to the Chalcolithic period. This is primarily because these caves contain a rich collection of archaeological findings.
• The site has yielded tools and implements from all these periods, providing concrete evidence of human evolution and progress in tool-making techniques and survival strategies.
• The artifacts found here include tools from the Old Stone Age (Lower Palaeolithic), tools from the Middle Stone Age (Mesolithic), as well as tools from the New Stone Age (Chalcolithic).
• This shows a clear progression and continuity of human activities and evolution over a long period of time, which is why statement 1 is correct.

2. Presence of Shankhalipi Inscriptions:

• While the Bhimbetka caves do contain ancient inscriptions, the presence of "Shankhalipi" inscriptions specifically is not a significant factor in demonstrating the continuity of human evolution from the Lower Paleolithic period to the Mesolithic period to the Chalcolithic period.
• Shankhalipi, also known as shell-script, is a unique and lesser-known script found in India, and it is not associated with the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, or Chalcolithic periods.
• Therefore, the presence of Shankhalipi inscriptions in the Bhimbetka caves does not directly support the evidence of continuity of human evolution over these periods. This is why statement 2 is not correct.

So, the correct answer to the question is option A: 1 only.

This is a complex trial and error based question and the way you would have to think in this is:

From the figure above, it is clear that A is faster as he takes only t + 2 hours while B has taken t +
9 hours to complete the journey.
Then, we get: (t – 6)/9 = 8/t
Solving for t, we get t = –6 (not possible)
Or t = 12. Putting this value of t in the figure it changes to:

We also get ratio of speeds = 3 : 2 (inverse of ratio of times)
The next part of the puzzle is to think of the 12 km less traveled by the first person till the meeting
point.
If the speed of the faster person is 3s, that of the slower person = 2s.
Further
12 × 2s – 6 × 3s = 12 km
s = 2 kmph.
The speed of the faster tourist is 3 × 2 = 6 kmph

As given,
∠BOC = 110^o
And, we know incentre of a triangle is a point where angle bisector of triangles meet.
So, which means ∠OCB =∠OBC
∠BOC +∠OCB+∠OBC = 180^o
⇒∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180^o − 110^o
⇒∠OCB +∠OBC = 70^o

Since, ∠ABC = 2∠OBC
∠ACB = 2∠OCB
So, ∠ABC+∠ACB = 2 × 70^o
⇒∠ABC + ∠ACB = 140^o
Now, in triangle ABC.
∠ABC +∠BAC +∠ACB = 180^o
⇒∠BAC  +140o = 180^o
⇒∠BAC = 180o − 140^o
⇒∠BAC = 40^o
Hence, the correct answer is 40^o.

Side of the square = √144 = 12 cm

So the answer = π × 3 × 3 = 9π cm² 

Base area = length * breadth = 20 sq.cm
Now,
Volume of cuboid = length * breadth * height
Volume = 20 * height
200 = 20 * height
Height = 200 / 20 = 10 cm.

Given that, p = ab² = a × b × b
and q = a³b = a × a × a × b
∴ LCM of p and q = LCM (ab²,a³b) = a × b × b × a × a = a³b²
[Since, LCM is the product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers].   

There is no single number between 3 and 4, there is an infinite amount of numbers. If you are asking for INTEGERS, there are none. If not, you can have unlimited numbers between 3 and 4. For example, a number could be 3.0000000000000000005 or 3.9999999999999997.
