• Captain William Hawkins arrived at Jahangir’s court (1609 AD) to seek permission to open a factory in Surat. A Farman was issued by Jahangir, permitting the English to build a factory in Surat (1613 AD).
• Sir Thomas Roe visited Jahangir’s court (1615 AD) as an ambassador of King James I to seek permission to trade in India.

Additional Information

• The Dutch East India Company established factories in India at Masulipatnam in 1605 AD, Pulicat (1610 AD), Surat (1616 AD), Bimlipatam (1641 AD), Karaikal (1645 AD).
• The French East India Company was formed in 1664 AD by Colbert under state patronage during the reign of Louis XIV. 

The correct answer is Concave.

• Myopia: A person suffering from myopia can see the near objects clearly while far objects are not clear.
  • A Concave lens (diverging lens) is used by people suffering from myopia.

Additional Information

• Hypermetropia: A person suffering from hypermetropia can see distant objects clearly but not near objects.
  • People suffering from hypermetropia uses a Convex lens.
• Astigmatism: This defect arises due to the difference in the radius of curvature of the cornea in the different planes
  • The cylindrical lens is used by people suffering from Astigmatism.

The Correct answer is Uniform motion.

Key Points

• Motion​:
  • It is a phenomenon in which an object changes its position with respect to time.
  • All motions are relative to some frame of reference. 
  • There are two types of motion:
    • Uniform Motion
    • Non-uniform Motion
• Uniform motion:
  • If an object is traveling with uniform motion, it is moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
  • For example, An object falling at terminal velocity experiences the same air resistance as its weight.
  • Newton's first law can be used to explain the movement of objects traveling with uniform motion.
  • Newton's first law is a body that is at rest or moving at a uniform rate in a straight line will remain in that state until some force is applied to it.

​Additional Information

• Retarding motion: The Motion in which the speed of the body gradually decreases.
• Non-uniform motion: If a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time
• Non-linear Motion: Nonlinear motion is motion along a curved path; It is the combination of two components of motion' horizontal motion (without acceleration) vertical motion (under the acceleration of gravity).

The correct answer is Waist.

• Kandora ornament is worn on Waist.
• Kandora is similar to Kardhani but its design is different.
