The GNSS-based ETC system uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to monitor vehicles and compute tolls based on the distance traveled on tolled highways.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) aims to integrate the GNSS-based ETC system with the existing FASTag ecosystem. Initially, a hybrid model will be used where both RFID-based ETC and GNSS-based ETC will function simultaneously, rather than replacing the FASTag ecosystem entirely. (Statement 2 is incorrect)

(b) Infrared Imaging Satellite
ISRO, on the occasion of World Environment Day, on Wednesday provided details about its collaborative endeavour with the French national space agency CNES for the upcoming Thermal Infrared Imaging Satellite for High-resolution Natural Resource Assessment (TRISHNA) mission.
TRISHNA is engineered to deliver high spatial and high temporal resolution monitoring of earth’s surface temperature, emissivity, and biophysical and radiation variables for surface energy budgeting at regional to global scale. The scientific and societal benefits of TRISHNA are extensive.
TRISHNA’s primary objectives include detailed monitoring of the energy and water budgets of the continental biosphere for quantifying terrestrial water stress and water use and high-resolution observation of water quality and dynamics in coastal and inland waters. Additionally, the mission will support the detection of sub-surface fires and the assessment of geothermal resources.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are intended to have health benefits when consumed or applied to the body. They can be found in yogurt and other fermented foods, dietary supplements, and beauty products.
Probiotics are a combination of live beneficial bacteria and/or yeasts.
Probiotics live naturally in your body. L. acidophilus is a probiotic bacteria that naturally occurs in the human gut. The most common place linked to beneficial microbes is your gut (mostly large intestines), but there are other places like mouth, urinary tract, skin, lungs etc where these probiotics are found (Statement 2 is incorrect)
Yogurt is a well-known food source of probiotics. Certain strains of bacteria in yogurt have ß-D-galactosidase, which is an enzyme that helps break down lactose in dairy products into the sugars glucose and galactose. Thus Probiotics help in the digestion of milk sugars.
