The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
The question asks which animals are featured on the State Emblem of India. To understand this, we need to refer to the design of the emblem.
The State Emblem of India is derived from the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath, which is an adaptation of an ancient artifact. It features four Asiatic lions standing back-to-back, but only three are visible in depictions. Below the lions, the emblem also includes other animals, each with symbolic significance.
- Lion: Represents courage, strength, and confidence, these are the primary figures on the emblem.
- Bull: Symbolizes hard work and steadfastness, it is depicted in the emblem facing to one side.
- Horse: Stands for speed, mobility, and energy; it is depicted on the opposite side of the bull.
Hence, the animals featured on the State Emblem are the Lion, Bull, and Horse.
Now let's analyze the options provided:
Lion, Elephant, and Horse:
- This does not match the emblem description as the Elephant is not present.
Lion, Bull, and Elephant:
- This option is incorrect because it mentions an Elephant, which is not part of the emblem's animals.
Lion, Bull, and Horse:
- This is the correct option as it matches the description of the State Emblem.
Lion, Tiger, and Cow:
- There are no Tigers or Cows depicted on the emblem with the Lion.
Lion, Tiger, and Bull:
- A Tiger is not part of the emblem animals as described.
Therefore, the correct answer is Lion, Bull, and Horse.
Approach Solution -2
The State Emblem of India is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath. The emblem features four Asiatic lions standing back to back atop a cylindrical abacus. Below this are four smaller animals, each representing cardinal directions—the lion for the north, the elephant for the east, the horse for the south, and the bull for the west. However, only the lion, bull, and horse are visible in the emblem as it is displayed on most state documents. Hence, among the given options, the combination that accurately represents the animals on the State Emblem of India is the "Lion, Bull, and Horse." The other combinations either include animals not present in the emblem or do not entirely match the official representation.
| Animals | Included in Emblem |
|---|---|
| Lion | Yes |
| Bull | Yes |

An investment company, Win Lose, recruit's employees to trade in the share market. For newcomers, they have a one-year probation period. During this period, the employees are given Rs. 1 lakh per month to invest the way they see fit. They are evaluated at the end of every month, using the following criteria:
1. If the total loss in any span of three consecutive months exceeds Rs. 20,000, their services are terminated at the end of that 3-month period,
2. If the total loss in any span of six consecutive months exceeds Rs. 10,000, their services are terminated at the end of that 6-month period.
Further, at the end of the 12-month probation period, if there are losses on their overall investment, their services are terminated.
Ratan, Shri, Tamal and Upanshu started working for Win Lose in January. Ratan was terminated after 4 months, Shri was terminated after 7 months, Tamal was terminated after 10 months, while Upanshu was not terminated even after 12 months. The table below, partially, lists their monthly profits (in Rs. ‘000’) over the 12-month period, where x, y and z are masked information.
Note:
• A negative profit value indicates a loss.
• The value in any cell is an integer.
Illustration: As Upanshu is continuing after March, that means his total profit during January-March (2z +2z +0) ≥
Rs.20,000. Similarly, as he is continuing after June, his total profit during January − June ≥
Rs.10,000, as well as his total profit during April-June ≥ Rs.10,000.
