- Article 52
- It establishes the office of the President of India. The President is elected by an electoral college under Article 54 through proportional representation using the single transferable vote.
- Bharat Ratna
- India's highest civilian award, instituted in 1954. It is given for exceptional service in arts, literature, science, public service or sport, without restriction of nationality.
- Rupee depreciation
- A fall in the rupee's value against foreign currency. Each rupee buys fewer dollars, making imports costlier and exports cheaper, which can widen or narrow the trade deficit.
- UP Lok Sabha seats
- Uttar Pradesh elects 80 members to the Lok Sabha and 31 to the Rajya Sabha. Both are the largest state shares in the two houses of Parliament.
- वर्ण-विच्छेद
- किसी शब्द को उसके वर्णों में अलग करने की प्रक्रिया। उदाहरण: क्षेत्र = क् + ष् + ए + त् + र, और ज्ञान = ज् + ञ् + आ + न्।
- गुण संधि
- स्वर संधि का भेद जिसमें अ, आ के बाद इ, ई आने पर ए और उ, ऊ आने पर ओ बनता है। उदाहरण: सूर्य + उदय = सूर्योदय।
- बहुव्रीहि समास
- वह समास जिसमें दोनों पद मिलकर किसी तीसरे अर्थ का बोध कराते हैं। जैसे दशानन का अर्थ दस मुख वाला अर्थात् रावण।
- अनुप्रास अलंकार
- जिस अलंकार में एक ही वर्ण की आवृत्ति एक से अधिक बार होती है, जैसे 'चारु चंद्र की चंचल किरणें' में च वर्ण की आवृत्ति।
- Opposite letter rule
- In the English alphabet, letters opposite each other sum to 27: A-Z, B-Y, C-X, up to M-N. This speeds up coding-decoding and analogy questions.
- Syllogism validity
- A conclusion follows only if it is true in every possible Venn diagram of the premises. 'All A are B' never proves 'All B are A' unless the conversion is given.
- Clock hand angle
- The angle between the hour and minute hands equals the absolute value of 30H minus 5.5M degrees, where H is the hour and M the minutes.
- Circular seating rule
- When people face the centre of a circle, a person's left is clockwise and right is anticlockwise. When they face outward, the directions reverse.
- Successive percentage change
- A rise of x percent followed by a fall of x percent gives a net change of minus x squared divided by 100 percent, so 20 up then 20 down nets a 4 percent loss.
- Alligation rule
- For mixing two ingredients, the ratio of their quantities equals the difference between the mean price and the cheaper price, divided by the dearer price minus the mean.
- Compound interest formula
- Amount equals principal multiplied by one plus rate over 100 raised to the time in years. For two years, compound interest minus simple interest equals P times (R/100) squared.
- Average speed, equal distances
- When equal distances are covered at speeds x and y, the average speed is 2xy divided by x plus y. It is the harmonic mean, never the simple average.
- Red rot of sugarcane
- A fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum falcatum. It produces red internal discolouration and alcohol smell; control relies on resistant varieties and disease-free seed setts.
- Sugarcane seed rate
- About 25,000 to 40,000 three-bud setts, roughly 6 to 8 tonnes of cane seed, are planted per hectare with row spacing of 75 to 90 centimetres.
- Sugarcane maturity indices
- Cane is ready when brix exceeds 18 to 20 percent, sucrose exceeds 16 percent and purity exceeds 85 percent, with growth stopping and moisture falling.
- Ratoon management
- After harvest the stubble is shaved, gaps filled, soil off-barred and extra nitrogen applied. Ratooning saves seed cost but yield declines after two or three cycles.
- Co 0238 variety
- A high-recovery sugarcane variety from Coimbatore that dominated the Indo-Gangetic plain. It is now being replaced in areas where red rot pressure has increased.
- UPCSR Shahjahanpur
- The Uttar Pradesh Council of Sugarcane Research at Shahjahanpur breeds and tests state varieties carrying the UP code, such as UP 9530 and UP 0097.
- Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative
- A method using single-bud nursery seedlings and wider spacing instead of heavy sett planting. It cuts seed cost, improves tillering and supports drip irrigation.
- Drip fertigation benefit
- Delivering water and fertiliser through drip lines saves roughly 40 to 60 percent water, reduces leaching and raises cane yield in canal and tube-well command areas.
- Fair and Remunerative Price
- The minimum cane price fixed by the Centre under the Sugarcane (Control) Order, 1966, linked to a 10 percent base recovery with premium or discount for recovery changes.
- State Advised Price
- A price fixed by state governments such as Uttar Pradesh, usually above the central FRP. Mills in that state are bound to pay it to cane growers.
- Sugar recovery percentage
- Sugar produced divided by cane crushed, multiplied by 100. It measures mill efficiency; higher recovery lowers the cost per quintal of sugar produced.
- NFCSF
- The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories, the apex body of cooperative mills in India. It represents their interests before government and coordinates the sector.
- UP administrative divisions
- Uttar Pradesh has 75 districts grouped into 18 divisions. A Divisional Commissioner heads each division and a District Magistrate heads each district.
- UP Panchayati Raj tiers
- Under the UP Panchayati Raj Act, 1947, the three tiers are Gram Panchayat at village level, Kshetra Panchayat at block level and Zila Panchayat at district level.
- UP cane belt
- The main sugarcane districts are Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Saharanpur, Bijnor and Moradabad in western UP, and Shahjahanpur, Sitapur and Bareilly in central UP.
