Concept: The Regulating Act, 1773 was the first step taken by the British Parliament to control and regulate the affairs of the East India Company in India.

1. It made the Governor of Bengal the Governor-General of Bengal (Warren Hastings) with a council of four, and placed Bombay and Madras under Bengal's supervision.
2. It set up the Supreme Court at Calcutta (1774).
3. Pitt's India Act (1784) came later and created the Board of Control; the Act of 1858 transferred power to the Crown.

Yaad rakhein: 1773 = Regulating, 1784 = Pitt's, 1813, 1833, 1853 = Charter Acts, 1858 = Crown rule.

Answer: (C) Regulating Act, 1773

Concept: Eliminate one variable by subtracting equations; here $Y$ has the same coefficient in all three.

1. Equations: $X+2Y+4Z=12$ …(i), $2X+2Y+3Z=10$ …(ii), $3X+2Y+Z=8$ …(iii).
2. (ii) − (i): $X-Z=-2$; (iii) − (ii): $X-2Z=-2$.
3. Subtracting: $Z=0$, so $X=-2$.
4. From (i): $-2+2Y=12\Rightarrow Y=7$.

Trick: In an exam, just plug each option into (iii): $3(-2)+2(7)+0=8$ ✓ only for option A.

Answer: (A) $X=-2,Y=7,Z=0$

Concept: We need the pattern letter – LETTER – symbol: the middle letter must have a letter on its left and a symbol on its right.

1. Series: B R © # # # W & S @ Z @ @ A & L @ @ I © O ©
2. Scan each letter: R has B before and © after ✓.
3. W, S, Z, A, L, I, O all have a symbol just before them ✗.

Trick: Only look at letters that come in pairs (two letters side by side); here only 'B R' qualifies, then check the right side.

Answer: (B) 1
