Fertile soil is not renewable resources, you can consult a geology book for this

Can you provid any documentary source?

Dear Unesco Public Library Manifesto was revised lastly in 1994, Thus option (B)  is CORRECT.

If we said

West Bengal Public Library Act, then we say 1979

If the question comes when West Bengal Public Library Act last revised, then we say 2003

If the question comes Indian Constitution, then we say 1949 (Constituent) and or 1950 (came into force), not say last amendment year

So If question comes only UNESCO PUBLIC LIBRARY MANIFESTO, then it should be the origin year i.e. 1949,

not revised year 1972 then 1994.

Last print version of Ency.Brit.was published in 2010.so option B is right.

Dear

Where you seen about the last print of Encyclopedia Britainica in 2010. I think last publication of Encyclopedia Britainica was 2012 of the 2010 edition. It stop the print version from 2012.

A) Publication date: 1768–2010 (printed version) &

By late April 2012, the remaining copies of the 2010 edition had sold out at Britannica's online store.

Web link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica

B)  It had not printed any new sets since 2010

Web link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Brit...

C) If it search by its Title as printed on the book i.e "The new encyclopaedia Britannica" we can only find upto 2010 edition from 1974. If Britannica print in 2012 then it must be recorded in BNB.

            (B)       ii) and iv) are correct

            (C)       ii) and iii) are correct

            (D)       i) and ii) are correct  [CBSE final answer]
