Guys one request I think by now papers must be set. Let's back track up till June to get our current affairs in order

Identify the person based on the following facts:

a. He died following a failed liver transplant on 19 September 2014.

b. He was known for using western instrument Mandolin with Carnatic music.

c. He was honored with Padma Shri , Sangeet Akademi and Sangeet Ratna Awards.

A)Uppalapu Srinivas

B)T.H Vinayakram

C)Vijat Ghate

D)None of these

It will be really great if u can just post a collection of GK question with answers in image form (if u have a comprendium). IIFT takes current affairs from the month of Jan from this year, so if u find ny magazine or ny booklet, containing a number of questions, just post the questions with answers
