Famous Personalities and Discoveries

Georg Cantor (1845-1918) founded set theory and created the mathematics of infinity, proving there are different sizes of infinity (countable vs uncountable). His work revolutionized mathematics, establishing that infinite sets can have different cardinalities.

Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665) was a French mathematician famous for Fermat's Last Theorem, Fermat's Little Theorem, and foundational work in probability and calculus. Despite the typo 'fomous', the question clearly refers to his profession.

Hipparchus (2nd century BCE), a Greek astronomer and mathematician, is considered the founder of trigonometry. He developed the first trigonometric table (chord table) and systematically used trigonometry in astronomical calculations, laying foundations later expanded by Ptolemy.

Edwin Hubble discovered the expanding universe theory in 1929 by observing that galaxies are moving away from each other, with more distant galaxies receding faster. Newton's laws describe gravity but not universal expansion. Galileo focused on planetary motion, and Pluto is not a scientist.

Isaac Newton formulated the Law of Universal Gravitation, published in his Principia Mathematica in 1687. Galileo contributed to physics and astronomy but didn't formulate gravitation laws. Hubble was an astronomer (Hubble's Law), and Hooke was a contemporary who claimed priority but Newton's formulation prevailed.

Myint points out unrealistic assumptions of Classical theory of International Trade and developed the productivity theory.

This appears to refer to Einstein's personal diaries published by Johanna Fantova, his close companion in his later years. Fantova recorded conversations with Einstein, which were later published as Einstein's diaries. Dante wrote The Divine Comedy and Plato wrote philosophical works.

The quote "Man is born free but he is always in chains" is from Jean-Jacques Rousseau's work "The Social Contract" (1762). Rousseau was a key Enlightenment philosopher who explored the tension between individual freedom and social constraints. This line captures his central thesis about how society restricts natural liberty.

M. Karunanidhi, the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, is the father of Kanimozhi who is a writer and Member of Parliament. 'Stalin' in option A refers to M.K. Stalin, who is Kanimozhi's brother, not father. Chandrababu Naidu and MGR were prominent Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu politicians respectively, unrelated to Kanimozhi.

James Jeans, the British physicist, astronomer, and mathematician, wrote "The Universe Around Us" (1929), a popular science book explaining astronomy and cosmology to general readers. He was known for making complex scientific concepts accessible.

Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, founded homeopathy in the late 18th century. He developed the principle of 'like cures like' that forms the basis of homeopathic treatment. Hippocrates is the 'Father of Medicine,' while Charaka and Sushrutha are ancient Indian medical practitioners.

Maqbool Fida Husain, one of India's best known artists, on February 25, 2010 decided to surrender his Indian passport after being offered Qatari nationality by the royal family. Qatar's Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Queen Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned met the painter in Qatar recently and asked him to live there. Husain has been working on a project sponsored by the Qatar government. Husain has been in self-exile ever since he came under attack from Hindu outfits for his alleged depiction of Bharat Mata and other gods and goddesses in the nude. Cases were filed against him in courts across India. In 2008, the Supreme Court refused to initiate criminal proceedings against him for allegedly hurting public sentiments.
