▪️Indian classical music has two major traditions - the North Indian classical music tradition is called Hindustani, while the South Indian expression is called Carnatic.
▪️In Haripala's "Sangeeta Sudhakara", written in the 14th century A.D., the terms Carnatic and Hindustani are found for the first time.
▪️The Indian music of the Northern part of India assimilated some features of the music of the Persian and Arabic musicians who adorned the courts of the Mughal rulers of Delhi, the music of the South continued to develop along its own original lines. Hence statement 1 is correct.
▪️In Hindustani music, a Gharana is a system of social organization in the Indian subcontinent, linking musicians or dancers by lineage or apprenticeship, and by adherence to a particular musical style. Hence statement 2 is correct.
▪️The major vocal forms associated with Hindustani classical music are the Khayal, Ghazal, Dhrupad, Dhammar, Tarana and Thumri.
-Dhrupad style of singing is traditionally performed by men with a tanpura and pakhawaj.
-The lyrics sung in Dhrupad are in a medieval form of Hindi and are typically heroic in theme, or in praise of a particular deity.
-A more adorned form is called Dhamar. Khayal consists of about 4-8 lines of lyrics set to a tune.
-The performer uses these few lines as the base for improvisation.
-Taranas are songs that are used to convey a feel of joy and are usually performed towards the end of a concert.
▪️Although vocal music plays an important role, instrumental music is more important in Hindustani music. There are some purely instrumental forms, such as the theme with variations known as gat. Hence statement 3 is not correct

▪️According to the Abhinaya Darpanam, the Sangitaratnakara and other medieval treatises, dance is divided into three distinct aspects, that is, natya, nritya and nritta.
▪️Natya corresponds to drama. it is the combined manifestation of bhava, rasa and abhinaya. Natyahighlights the dramatic element and most dance forms do not give emphasis to this aspect today with the exception of dance-drama forms like Kathakali. Hence statement 1 is correct.
▪️Nritya consists of footwork and abhinaya. It relates to Rasa and psychological state. Angika abhinaya relating to Hasta, eyes, eyebrows, lips etc. are very important in Nritya. It can be termed as the explanatory aspect of dance where hand gestures and facial expressionsconvey the meaning of the lyrics of the performing song. Bhav of the dancer is of prime importance in this so it can also be considered as the miming aspect of dance. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
▪️Nritta corresponds to pure dance steps performed rhythmically. Here the movements of the body do not convey any mood or meaning and its purpose is just creating beauty by making various patterns, lines in space and time. Hence statement 3 is not correct.

▪️Statement 1 is correct. BoP systematically summarizes the economic transactions of a country with the rest of the world for a given period of time specifically for a financial year.
▪️BoP is a transaction between residents of a country with the rest of the world.
▪️So, BoP of India will record all transactions which happen between Indian residents (individuals, companies, governments etc.) and non-residents, foreigners or foreign entities.
▪️ Statement 2 is incorrect. RBI (and not SEBI) is responsible for preparing BoP.
▪️It shall be consistent with the BoP manual of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
▪️The sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) defines the Balance of Payments (BoP) as a statistical statement that summarises economic transactions between residents and non-residents during a specific time period.
▪️The BoP, thus, includes all transactions showing:
(a) transactions in goods, services and income between an economy and the rest of the world,
(b) changes of ownership and other changes in that economy’s monetary gold, special drawing rights (SDRs), and financial claims on and liabilities to the rest of the world, and
(c) unrequited transfers.
▪️These transactions are categorised into
(i) the “current account” including “goods and services”, the “primary income”, and the “secondary income”,
(ii) the “capital account”, and
(iii) the “financial account”.

Differences Between DNA and RNA:
▪️ DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring. Statement 1 is not correct.
▪️DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule. Statement 2 is correct.
▪️DNA is stable under alkaline conditions, while RNA is not stable.
▪️DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans. DNA is responsible for storing and transferring genetic information, while RNA directly codes for amino acids and acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins. Statement 3 is correct.
▪️DNA and RNA base pairing is slightly different since DNA uses the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; RNA uses adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine. Uracil differs from thymine in that it lacks a methyl group on its ring.
