This quiz connects nutrition, legal aid, river interlinking, Himalayan tunnel safety and data-centre regulation with their static foundations. It also tests Arctic geochemistry and strategic mapping, requiring precise evaluation of institutional, geographical and technological distinctions.
1. The prevalence of undernourishment principally estimates habitual dietary-energy inadequacy.
2. Child stunting is determined using weight-for-height measurements.
3. A person consuming adequate calories may nevertheless be unable to afford a healthy diet.
4. Purchasing-power parity and a market exchange rate are identical measures.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 – Correct: Undernourishment estimates habitual dietary-energy consumption relative to minimum energy requirements.
Statement 2 – Incorrect: Stunting uses height for age; wasting uses weight for height.
Statement 3 – Correct: Calorie adequacy does not ensure dietary diversity, protein quality or micronutrient sufficiency.
Statement 4 – Incorrect: PPP compares purchasing power, while market rates reflect currency-market exchange values.
1. Article 39A forms part of the Fundamental Rights.
2. The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 provides the statutory framework for legal services authorities.
3. The Chief Justice of India serves as NALSA’s Patron-in-Chief.
4. A Lok Adalat may decide a dispute on merits even when the parties reject settlement.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 – Incorrect: Article 39A is a Directive Principle in Part IV.
Statement 2 – Correct: The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 establishes the legal-services-authority framework.
Statement 3 – Correct: The Chief Justice of India is NALSA’s Patron-in-Chief.
Statement 4 – Incorrect: A Lok Adalat cannot adjudicate the dispute on merits when settlement fails.
1. Ken — Tributary of the Yamuna
2. Betwa — Tributary of the Chambal
3. Daudhan Dam — Ken–Betwa Link Project
4. Panna Tiger Reserve — Madhya Pradesh
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Pair 1 – Correct: The Ken joins the Yamuna.
Pair 2 – Incorrect: The Betwa is a tributary of the Yamuna, not the Chambal.
Pair 3 – Correct: Daudhan Dam is the principal storage structure of the Ken–Betwa Link Project.
Pair 4 – Correct: Panna Tiger Reserve is situated in Madhya Pradesh.
1. Methane can form an explosive mixture with air in an inadequately ventilated tunnel.
2. A run-of-the-river hydropower project necessarily avoids underground excavation.
3. An adit is generally a near-horizontal passage providing access to underground workings.
4. Environmental clearance by itself certifies continuous compliance with all occupational-safety requirements.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 – Correct: Methane is combustible, and accumulated gas may ignite when it reaches a flammable concentration.
Statement 2 – Incorrect: Run-of-the-river projects may use headrace tunnels, access tunnels, diversion works and underground powerhouses.
Statement 3 – Correct: An adit provides horizontal or gently inclined access, ventilation or drainage.
Statement 4 – Incorrect: Environmental approval does not replace continuing engineering, labour-safety and site-supervision obligations.
1. Permafrost is ground that remains at or below 0°C for at least two consecutive years.
2. Thaw may expose sulphide minerals and contribute to acidic drainage.
3. Orange-coloured stream water necessarily proves contamination from an operating mine.
4. Mobilised iron and aluminium can affect aquatic ecosystems.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 – Correct: Permafrost is defined by ground temperature and duration.
Statement 2 – Correct: Sulphide oxidation can produce acidity and mobilise metals.
Statement 3 – Incorrect: Natural acid-rock drainage can also produce orange, metal-rich water.
Statement 4 – Correct: Mobilised metals and increased acidity can degrade water quality and aquatic habitat.
1. Bab el-Mandeb — Connects the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden
2. Strait of Hormuz — Connects the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman
3. North Macedonia — Landlocked Balkan state
4. Skopje — Capital of North Macedonia
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Pair 1 – Correct: Bab el-Mandeb is the southern entrance to the Red Sea.
Pair 2 – Correct: Hormuz links the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman.
Pair 3 – Correct: North Macedonia has no coastline.
Pair 4 – Correct: Skopje is North Macedonia’s capital.
1. Power Usage Effectiveness compares total facility energy with the energy used by computing equipment.
2. A PUE value closer to one ordinarily indicates greater energy efficiency.
3. Liquid cooling necessarily eliminates both direct and indirect water consumption.
4. Annual renewable-energy procurement guarantees carbon-free electricity during every hour of operation.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 – Correct: PUE is calculated by dividing total facility energy by the energy consumed by information-technology equipment.
Statement 2 – Correct: A value approaching one indicates that less energy is being consumed by cooling and other support systems.
Statement 3 – Incorrect: Liquid cooling may reduce some water or energy requirements, but its total water footprint depends on system design and electricity generation.
Statement 4 – Incorrect: Annual procurement does not ensure that renewable generation coincides with demand during every operating hour.
