Ayurveda (Sanskrit: ayu—life; Veda—
knowledge of) or ayurvedic medicine is a form
of alternative medicine, first described by
Agnivesha in his book Agnivesh tantra, which
later revised by the Charaka and presently
known as Charaka Samhita. It is believed that
he lived sometime between 2 BC and 2 AD.
One Kashmiri Pandit Shri Dridhabal re-edited
and re-constructed the Charaka Samhita in the
9th century. Ayurveda, based upon the Indian
philosophical, psychological, conventional and
medicinal understandings, is a traditional health
care system from centuries. Sushruta Samhita is
written by the Sushruta at an unknown date.
Charaka around the beginning of the Common
Era, and based on a holistic approach rooted in
earlier Vedic culture. Its conspicuous use of
the word veda, or knowledge, reveals its role in
early Hinduism and describes its hallowed
place in India. Ayurveda also had a tradition of
surgery in ancient India. Two early texts of
Ayurveda are the Charaka Samhita and the
Sushruta Samhita. The notion that Ayurveda is
of divine origin is shared by many Ayurvedic
personalities. That the knowledge of medical
sciences come from the Gods is a common
belief in other civilizations as well. Thoth and
Apollo were thought to have given medical
practices to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks,
while in India, it is said that Lord Brahma is the
originator of Ayurveda.
Some writers say that Ayurveda is thousands
and thousands of years old. Acharya Vishwa
Nath Dwivedi writes in his book in Bhartiya
Ras Shashtra that in early years, when the
language of communication had no written
script, the Guru [teacher] instructed the the
pupils to memorize the Vedas in the Gurukul,
and this tradition was continued for centuries
until a written script was fully developed and
popularly used. “Atharva Veda” was
memorised in this tradition to save the short
the Vedas were kept alive. Earlier scripts were
written on Taalpatra, Bhojapatra, but they could
not be saved for long. Stone and copper sheets
were also used to preserve information in
written form, but they required a lot of
effort. The Atharva Veda contains many
Ayurveda verses, from which we may
assume that Ayurveda is as old as the
Veda. In “Rig Veda” some maxim, precepts are
written about the direction of keeping good
health. If Atharva veda and Rig Vedas are
thousands and thousands of years old, the life
of Ayurveda should be counted in the same
manner.
precepts / sentences. Through the oral tradition,

introduces us with the trace founded by
geologist and it should be followed by A which
give us the information about the place where
extinction happened and this should be
followed by B which give us the explanation
about the loss of lives which happened during
the extinction and last sentence in the
rearrangement should be D which explains us
about the worst hit by the extinction. But option

So, option E is the correct answer.
4.Answer: E
Here, the correct sequence of the rearrangement
will be EABD with one sentence C should be
omitted as the sentence C is different in context
with all others. First sentence will be E which
introduces us with the trace founded by
geologist and it should be followed by A which

5.Answer: E
Here, the correct sequence of the rearrangement
will be EABD with one sentence C should be
omitted as the sentence C is different in context
with all others. First sentence will be E which
introduces us with the trace founded by

6.Answer: D
Here, A-b, B-c, C-a is the correct match and the
sentence thus formed are
At the COP27 conference in Egypt, delegates
have at their disposal decades of research into
warming trajectories published by the U.N.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) produces reports roughly every
five years that represent global scientific
consensus on climate change, its causes and its
impact.
Previously rare weather extremes are becoming
more common, and some regions are more
vulnerable than others.
So, option D is the correct answer.
7.Answer: A
Here, only A-c is matchable and rest two are
not. In B the sentence end with ice but a cannot
be matched just to see cream because the
sentence makes no sense and in case of C it
cannot be matched with any of the sentence of
column 2. Only A-c can be matched and the
sentence thus formed will be

Greenland’s largest basin could contribute up
to six times more to global sea-level rise by

sentence thus formed will be
A $3 billion water transfer project between
Lesotho and Botswana and a $10 million plan
to improve the public water system in Mauritius
were among dozens of projects listed, including

grammatically and contextually correct. The
sentence thus formed will be
The digital rupee rollout is being touted as a big
step towards digital transformation in India.
So, option C is the correct answer.
10.Answer: D
The first sentence is error free. The use of
“than” in the second sentence is not correct and
it should be replaced with “then” because both
mean different things. Than is used where there
is a comparison while then is used when
dealing with time in a sentence. The error in c
sentence is children. Children itself is a plural
and the word children is not correct.
So, option D is the correct answer.
11.Answer: B
only sentence b contains error. The use of
“from” after vulnerable is not correct and it
should be replaced with “to” because
vulnerable is always followed by “to” not from.
So, option B is the correct answer.
12.Answer: C
Only the third sentence contains error. The use
of has “an” in third sentence is not appropriate
and it should be replaced with “a”. So, option C
is the correct answer.
13.Answer: D
The use of “in” in the first sentence is not
appropriate and it should be replaced with
across as in is used for inside anything but
across is used for all over and here across will
be used as Meta parted ways with employees
all over the globe. In the second sentence, the
use of “of” is not appropriate as “on” will be
used as the workers were on H!B visa and in
the third sentence the use of “firing on” is not
appropriate as it means to shoot with a gun,
here “on” should be omitted. So, option D is the
correct answer.
14.Answer: D
Here, in the highlighted part of the sentence,
Indicate should be replaced with indicates as
new study is a singular, and “An” should be
replaced with “a” as majority starts with a
consonant not a vowel.
So, option D is the correct answer.
15.Answer: E
The given highlighted part of the sentence
doesn’t need any improvement. So, option E is
the correct answer.
16.Answer: D

the earlier script were not saved for long. So,
option C is the correct answer.

Samhita. It is believed that he lived some time
between 2 BC and 2 AD, we can conclude that
“He” is here being referred as Agnivesh. So,
option A is the correct answer.
26.Answer: D
Here, option D is the correct option as it means
originating or occurring where both A and B
are antonyms of indigenous and sartorial means
relating to clothes which makes no sense here.
27.Answer: D
