The Subarnarekha rises near Ranchi and flows through Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha, making it the longest river whose course lies largely within Jharkhand's borders. The Damodar is important too, but it is shorter within the state and is better known for its coal valley.
Betla is located in the Palamu district within the Palamu Tiger Reserve, which was among the first nine tiger reserves declared in India in 1973. Its sal forests and grasslands support tiger, elephant and leopard populations.
Ranchi has been the capital of Jharkhand since the state was carved out of Bihar on 15 November 2000. It also serves as the seat of the Jharkhand High Court and the state legislature.
The Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000, split Bihar and created Jharkhand, with the new state formally coming into being on 15 November 2000, the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda. The date is observed as Jharkhand Formation Day.
Birsa Munda led the Ulgulan movement among the Munda community in the Chotanagpur plateau region of present-day Jharkhand. The movement resisted land alienation and oppressive forest and revenue policies of the colonial administration.
The Tana Bhagat movement began around 1914 in the Ranchi region among the Oraon community and later adopted Gandhian non-cooperation methods. Its leaders opposed colonial rule and certain social practices within tribal society.
Jharkhand holds some of India's largest coal reserves, concentrated in the Damodar valley around Dhanbad and Jharia. Coal mining and its allied industries dominate the state's industrial economy.
Jamsetji Tata founded the steel plant at Sakchi, which grew into Jamshedpur in East Singhbhum district. The city is named after him and remains a major steel-producing centre.
The Jharkhand High Court was established in 2000 and sits in the state capital, Ranchi. It exercises jurisdiction over the entire state of Jharkhand.
The three-tier Panchayati Raj structure consists of the gram panchayat at the village level, the panchayat samiti at the block or intermediate level, and the zila parishad at the district level. The panchayat samiti coordinates planning and implementation between the other two tiers.
Recruitment to the constable rank in Jharkhand Police generally requires a pass in the Class 10 examination or its equivalent from a recognised board. Higher educational qualifications are prescribed for some other posts, not for the basic constable entry.

The Superintendent of Police heads the district police, and the District Magistrate is the district's executive head.
The 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, inserted Part IVA containing Article 51A, which lists the Fundamental Duties of citizens. This was done on the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee.

The Right to Information Act was enacted in 2005 and came into force on 12 October 2005. It applies to public authorities across the country, with some exemptions for intelligence and security organisations.
Rabri Devi held the office of Chief Minister of undivided Bihar, and after the creation of Jharkhand, the state's first woman Chief Minister was Rabri Devi's successor in a different context; in fact, the correct historical figure is Rabri Devi for Bihar, so this item is flagged for review.
The Santhal Hul broke out in 1855 under leaders such as Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu in the Santhal Pargana region. It was a revolt against exploitation by moneylenders, zamindars and the colonial revenue system.
Sohrai art is created by tribal women on mud walls during the harvest season, especially around the Sohrai festival after paddy harvesting. The paintings use natural earth colours and motifs of animals, plants and fertility symbols.

Ranchi has served as the capital of Jharkhand since the state was carved out of Bihar in November 2000. It hosts the state secretariat, the Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha and the Raj Bhavan. The other cities are major industrial or district headquarters but not the seat of state government.
District policing in Jharkhand is headed by a Superintendent of Police, who is usually an IPS officer and reports to the range Deputy Inspector General and the state DGP. Sub-inspectors and constables work under this district chief at police station level. The Inspector General commands a range or zone, which is larger than a district.
Betla National Park in the Palamu region was among India's earliest tiger reserves under Project Tiger and remains the state's flagship protected area. Dalma and Lawalong are wildlife sanctuaries rather than national parks, and Hazaribagh is a national park but not a tiger reserve.
The Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha is a unicameral legislature with 81 elected members, of whom 9 seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribes and 8 for Scheduled Castes. The state was created with this assembly strength under the Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000. The other figures do not match the constitutional allocation for Jharkhand.

For a cognizable offence, information must be recorded and entered in the station diary, and an FIR is registered before investigation begins. The constable's duty is to receive and record the information promptly, not to divert the complainant. Civil court orders and executive permission are not preconditions for registering such a case.
Jharia in Dhanbad district is India's most famous coal field, known for high-grade coking coal. Ghatshila is linked to copper, Chaibasa to iron ore and other minerals, and Giridih historically to mica, so only the Jharia-coal pairing is accurate as stated.

It mandated three-tier panchayats, reservations and State Election Commissions. The other amendments dealt with unrelated subjects such as fundamental duties, voting age and education.
Odissi is a classical dance form that originated in Odisha, though it is performed across India including at Jharkhand cultural events. Chhau, Jhumar and Paika are folk or martial dance traditions associated with the Chotanagpur region and its neighbouring states. The question tests the distinction between classical and regional folk forms.
The Director General of Police (DGP) is the senior-most officer heading the state police force, and in Jharkhand the DGP answers to the state government through the Home Department. The other designations belong to different levels or wings of administration, so only the DGP heads the entire state police.
The iris is the coloured muscular ring that contracts and relaxes to change pupil diameter, regulating light reaching the retina. The cornea mainly refracts light on entry, while the retina detects the image and the optic nerve carries signals to the brain.
Uniform velocity means neither speed nor direction changes, so acceleration is zero. By Newton's second law the net force equals mass times acceleration, hence the net force must be zero even though individual forces may act.
Zinc is above hydrogen in the reactivity series, so it displaces hydrogen from the acid, forming zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is identified by a pop sound when a burning splint is brought near.
Mitochondria carry out aerobic respiration and generate most of the ATP used by the cell, which is why they are called the powerhouse. Ribosomes synthesise proteins, the Golgi packages materials and lysosomes digest waste.
One coulomb is the charge transported by a steady current of one ampere in one second, so coulomb measures electric charge. Potential is measured in volts, resistance in ohms and power in watts.
Vitamin A is needed to make rhodopsin, the pigment in rod cells that responds to dim light, so its deficiency impairs night vision. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, vitamin D deficiency rickets and vitamin B1 deficiency beriberi.
Methane is produced by anaerobic decomposition in flooded paddy soils and by enteric fermentation in cattle. Solar panels, wind turbines and nuclear reactors are energy technologies that do not emit methane during operation.
A vector has both magnitude and direction, and displacement is the straight-line change in position with direction. Speed, mass and temperature have magnitude only and are scalars.
Average speed equals total distance divided by total time, so 150 m divided by 10 s gives 15 m/s. Dividing incorrectly or multiplying the values produces the other choices.
Weight equals mass times the local acceleration due to gravity, so 5 kg × 4 m/s² = 20 N. Mass remains 5 kg, but weight changes with the value of g at that location.
