AP Police Constable Mains 2019 Previous Year Paper (17-Mar-2019)

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Mano Majra is a tiny place. It has only three brick buildings, one of which is the home of the moneylender Lala Ram Lal. The other two are the Sikh temple and the mosque. The three brick buildings enclose a triangular common with a large Peepul tree in the middle. The rest of the village is a cluster of flat-roofed mud huts and low-walled courtyard, which front on narrow lanes that radiate form the center. Soon the lanes dwindle into foot-paths and get lost in the surrounding fields. At the western end of the village there is a pond ringed round by keekar trees. There are only about seventy families in Mano Majra, and Lala Ram Lal’s is the only Hindu family, the others are Sikhs or Muslims, about equal in number. The Sikhs own all the land around the village; the Muslims are tenants and share the billing with the owners.
