Question : 36
Consider the following statements and select the correct answer from the codes given below:
- Assertion (A):
- The worship of Mother Goddess as a feature of Harappan religion was prevalent in all the main Harappan cities.
- Reason (R):
- The female terracotta figurines have been discovered in large numbers from Harappa and Mohenjodaro. Codes:
a) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
b) A is false, but R is true
c) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
d) A is true, but R is false
Answer »Answer: (d)
The statement regarding the worship of Mother Goddess is true but about the female terracotta figurines is false. The Harappan people produced a large number of terracotta figurines which were handmade.
The figurines include humans, animals, birds, monkeys, dogs, sheep and cattle. Figurines of both humped and humpless bulls have been found.
Question : 37
Consider the following statements:
- Copper was brought mainly from Khetri in Rajasthan.
- Gold might have been obtained from the Himalayan river-beds and South India
- Silver was imported from Mesopotamia as well.
- Harappans used bronze though in a limited manner.
a) 2, 3 and 4
b) 1, 2 and 3
c) 1, 3 and 4
d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer »Answer: (d)
Copper in its unalloyed form was the most extensively used metal by the Harappans. The main tools made of copper are razors, chisels, knives, arrow-heads, spearheads, celts, hooks, saws, swords, etc. Bronze sculptures are represented by the dancing girl from Mohenjo-Daro and also by animal figurines of dog, bull, birds, etc.
Gold occurs in the form of beads, pendants, amulets, brooches, needles, and other small personal ornaments, including small hollow conical caps with the interior, soldered loops, doubtless, for use as forehead ornaments, and identical with modern examples. Much of the Indus gold is of light colour indicating a high silver content, or rather it is unrefined electrum. Silver makes its earliest appearance in the Indus civilization.
That it was relatively more common than gold is indicated by the number of large vessels made of silver, and by the frequency of other finds. Lead, arsenic, antimony and nickel were also used by the Harappan people.
Arsenic was used to increase the hardness of artefacts by alloying it with copper.
Question : 39
Consider the following statements:
- Kalibangan was an important port and trading centre of the Harappan people.
- At Mohenjodaro the ‘Great Bath’ was surrounded by corridors on all sides and was approached at either end.
a) 2 only
b) 1 only
c) 1 and 2 both
d) None
Answer »Answer: (a)
At Lothal, a brick structure has been identified as a dockyard meant for berthing ships and handling cargo. This suggests that Lothal was an important port and trading centre of the Harappan people.
Scholars believe that the ‘Great Bath’ was used for ritual bathing. A thin layer of bitumen was applied to the bed of the Bath to ensure that water does not seep in. Water was supplied by a large well in an adjacent room.
There was a drain for the outlet of the water. The bath was surrounded by sets of rooms on sides for changing cloth.
