Question 1 of 5
1. Question
With reference to India’s missile development programs, consider the following statements:
1. The Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) was initiated in 1983 and successfully completed in 2008.
2. The Agni series of missiles are primarily surface-to-air ballistic missiles.
3. The K-4 missile is an intermediate-range ballistic missile developed for the Indian Navy’s submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) capability.
4. The Nirbhay missile is a supersonic cruise missile with a range of over 1,000 kilometers.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
(b) Only two statements are correct (1st and 3rd)
The Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) was indeed initiated in 1983 and successfully completed in 2008.
The Agni series of missiles are primarily surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, not surface-to-air missiles. (Statement 2nd is incorrect)
The K-4 missile is an intermediate-range ballistic missile developed for the Indian Navy’s submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) capability.
The Nirbhay missile is a subsonic cruise missile, not supersonic, with a range of over 1,000 kilometers. (Statement 4th is incorrect)

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
With reference to the Constitutional provisions against untouchability in India, consider the following statements:
1. Article 17 of the Indian Constitution abolishes untouchability and forbids its practice in any government office premises.
2. The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955, was enacted to enforce Article 17.
3. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, provides for the punishment of offenses related to untouchability.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
(b) Only 2nd and 3rd statements are correct
The Indian Constitution has strong provisions to combat the practice of untouchability and promote social equality. Here are the key constitutional provisions:
Article 17: Abolition of Untouchability
Abolition: Article 17 explicitly abolishes untouchability and forbids its practice in any form and not only in Government office’s premises. (1st statement is incorrect)
Prohibition: It prohibits the enforcement of any disability arising from untouchability, making it a punishable offense.
Legal Measures
Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955: Enacted to enforce Article 17, this act prescribes punishment for the practice of untouchability.
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989: This act provides for the punishment of offenses related to untouchability and aims to prevent atrocities against members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
These provisions reflect India’s commitment to eradicating untouchability and ensuring equality for all its citizens.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following communication Technologies:
1. Closed- Circuit Television
2. Radio Frequency Identification
3. Wireless Local area Network
Which of the above are considered short-range devices/technologies?
Correct
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Short Range Devices (SRD) are radio devices that offer a low risk of interference with other radio services, usually because their transmitted power, and hence their range, is low. The definition ‘Short Range Device’ may be applied to many different types of wireless equipment, including various forms of:
● Access control (including door and gate openers)
● Alarms and movement detectors
● Closed-circuit television (CCTV)
● Cordless audio devices, including wireless microphones
● Industrial control
● Local Area Networks
● Medical implants
● Metering devices
● Remote control
● Radio frequency identification (RFID)
● Road Transport Telematics
● Telemetry

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
With reference to polyethylene terephthalate, the use of which is so widespread in our daily lives, consider the following statements:
1. Its fibres can be blended with wool and cotton fibres to reinforce their properties.
2. Containers made of it can be used to store any alcoholic beverage.
3. Bottles made of it can be recycled into other products.
4. Articles made of it can be easily disposed of by incineration without causing greenhouse gas emissions.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
(a) 1 and 3
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the predominant polyester used for fibre production. They are often used in durable-press blends with other fibres such as rayon, wool, and cotton, reinforcing the inherent properties of those fibres while contributing to the ability of the fabric to recover from wrinkling. (Statement 1 is correct)
Particularly for highly concentrated spirits in small PET bottles and high storage temperatures the water permeation is unfavourable. In fact, the leaching effects of plastic and plastic chemical substances (such as ethylene glycol) have the tendency to leach considerably into alcohol stored if the temperature goes up during storage. (Statement 2 is incorrect)
PET bottles can be recycled back into bottles, fibres, film, thermoformed packaging and strapping. (Statement 3 is correct)
The burning of plastics releases toxic gases like dioxins, furans, mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (better known as BCPs) into the atmosphere, and poses a threat to vegetation, and human and animal health. (Statement 4 is incorrect)
