Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements,
1. The Supreme Court of India came into existence on January 26, 1950.
2. The Supreme Court replaced the Federal Court of India and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
3. The Federal Court was established in 1935 under the Government of India Act to resolve disputes between provinces and federal states, and to hear appeals from high courts.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
Only two statements are correct (2nd and 3rd)

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Dhaincha (Sesbania bispinosa):
1. Dhaincha is primarily used as a green manure crop in India.
2. It is a leguminous plant that helps in nitrogen fixation in the soil.
3. The plant is also used for its medicinal properties in traditional medicine.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
All three statements are correct
Dhaincha as Green Manure: Dhaincha is widely used as a green manure crop in India due to its ability to improve soil fertility and structure. It is plowed back into the soil to increase organic matter and nutrient content.
Nitrogen Fixation: Being a leguminous plant, Dhaincha has symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which help in fixing atmospheric nitrogen into the soil, thereby enriching it.
Soil Suitability: Dhaincha is versatile and can be grown in various types of soils, including saline, alkaline, and waterlogged soils. It is not restricted to saline soils alone.
Medicinal Uses: Dhaincha has been used in traditional medicine for its various medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Waste-to-Energy technologies:
1. Pyrolysis and gasification are thermal treatment technologies used in Waste-to-Energy processes.
2. Biogas production from organic waste is an example of a biological treatment technology.
3. Waste-to-Energy plants can only process biodegradable waste.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Only 1st and 2nd statements are correct
Pyrolysis and gasification are indeed thermal treatment technologies used in Waste-to-Energy processes. Pyrolysis involves decomposing organic materials at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, while gasification converts organic materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide at high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen.
Biogas production from organic waste is a biological treatment technology. It involves the anaerobic digestion of organic matter by bacteria to produce biogas, which mainly consists of methane.
Waste-to-Energy plants can process both biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Non-recyclable dry waste, such as low-grade plastics and rags, can also be used to generate energy (Statement 3 is incorrect)

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Ammonium fixation in the soil is due to
Correct
Microbial fixation
Microbial fixation is the process by which microbes fix nitrogen and carbon dioxide:
Nitrogen fixation: Microbes fix nitrogen by oxidizing organic molecules and requiring 16 moles of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to reduce each mole of nitrogen. Nitrogen is a macronutrient that is part of proteins and nucleic acids. Microbes that fix nitrogen include Azotobacter, Bacillus, Clostridium, and Klebsiella.
Carbon dioxide fixation: Microbial fixation of carbon dioxide involves metabolic routes, genetic manipulations, and engineering of microbial hosts.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements:
1. Early Kakatiya rulers served as feudatories to Rashtrakutas and Western Chalukyas for more than two centuries.
2. The Kakatiya ruler captured the territory between the Krishna and the Godavari from the Chalukyas.
3. The Kakatiya polity was based on the monarchical system. They followed the law of primogeniture.
4. Ganapati Deva was succeeded by Rudrama Devi who is one of the few queens in Indian history.
How many of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
All four statements are correct
The Kakatiya Dynasty was a South Indian Telugu dynasty that ruled most of eastern Deccan region in present-day India between 12th and 14th centuries. Early Kakatiya rulers served as feudatories to Rashtrakutas and Western Chalukyas for more than two centuries. They assumed sovereignty under Prataparudra I in 1163 CE by suppressing other Chalukya subordinates in the Telangana region.
Marco Polo, who visited India around 1289–1293, made note of Rudrama Devi’s rule and nature in flattering terms.
The Kakatiya polity was based on the monarchical system. The Kakatiya ruler was the pivot of the entire administrative structure, yet he was not an absolute autocrat.
Generally, in the process of succession, they followed the law of primogeniture (is a law of inheritance that gives the firstborn child the right to inherit the deceased’s property, wealth, and/or title) and as already referred; a woman coming to the throne was a remarkable exception.
