SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level - 2 Aug 2022 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q37

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.

Between him and Darcy there was a very steady friendship, in spite of great opposition of character. Bingley was endeared to Darcy by the easiness, openness, and ductility of his temper, though no disposition could offer a greater contrast to his own, and though with his own he never appeared dissatisfied. On the strength of Darcy’s regard Bingley had the firmest reliance, and of his judgment the highest opinion. In understanding, Darcy was the superior. Bingley was by no means deficient, but Darcy was clever. He was at the same time haughty, reserved, and fastidious, and his manners, though well bred, were not inviting. In that respect his friend had greatly the advantage. Bingley was sure of being liked wherever he appeared, Darcy was continually giving offence. The manner in which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently characteristic. Bingley had never met with pleasanter people or prettier girls in his life; everybody had been most kind and attentive to him; there had been no formality, no stiffness; he had soon felt acquainted with all the room; and as to Miss Bennet, he could not conceive an angel more beautiful. Darcy, on the contrary, had seen a collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received either attention or pleasure. Miss Bennet he acknowledged to be pretty, but she smiled too much. Mrs. Hurst and her sister allowed it to be so—but still they admired her and liked her, and pronounced her to be a sweet girl, and one whom they should not object to know more of. Miss Bennet was therefore established as a sweet girl, and their brother felt authorised by such commendation to think of her as he chose.

Where was Babur buried for the first time in 1530?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Agra.

Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, died in 1530 in Agra. He was initially buried in Agra, the then Mughal capital. However, as per his own wishes, his mortal remains were later shifted to Kabul, where he desired to be buried in his beloved garden, Bagh-e-Babur. The temporary burial in Agra was out of convenience and respect until the final resting place in Kabul was arranged. This shows the strong emotional and cultural connection Babur had with his birthplace region.
