Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements about Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs):
1. ANNs are a type of machine learning algorithm inspired by the structure and function of biological neural networks.
2. ANNs require human intervention to continuously adjust their parameters during the training phase.
3. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, typically uses multilayered ANNs.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
(b) Only two statements are correct (1 and 3 only)
ANNs are inspired by the structure and function of biological neural networks found in the human brain. They consist of interconnected groups of artificial neurons.
ANNs are designed to adjust their parameters automatically during the training phase through processes such as back propagation, without needing continuous human intervention. (2nd statement is Incorrect)
Correct Deep learning often employs multilayered ANNs, known as deep neural networks, to model complex patterns in data.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements,
1. The Indian Air Force was officially established on 8 October 1932.
2. The primary role of the IAF is air superiority and ground attack.
3. The Indian Air Force’s motto is “Nabha Sparsham Deeptam,” which means “Touch the Sky with Glory.”
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
(c) All three statements are correct
Indian Air Force Day is celebrated annually on 8 October to honor the establishment and achievements of the Indian Air Force (IAF). This day commemorates the founding of the IAF in 1932 and highlights its vital role in safeguarding the nation’s airspace and supporting ground operations.
The Indian Air Force’s motto is “Nabha Sparsham Deeptam,” which means “Touch the Sky with Glory.”

3. Question
Trachoma, sometimes seen in the news is related to?
Correct
(b) Bacterial Infection which affects eye
It is a bacterial infection that affects the eyes. It is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia Trachomatis.
How does it spread?
It is contagious; spreading through contact with the eyes, eyelids, and nose or throat secretions of infected people, if left untreated it causes irreversible blindness.
It is found in communities who are living in poor environmental conditions.
WHO has termed Trachoma as a neglected tropical disease and its estimation suggest that 150 million people worldwide are affected by Trachoma and 6 million of them are blind or at risk of visually disabling complications.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
With reference to coal-based thermal power plants in India, consider the following statements:
1. The majority of India’s coal reserves are located in the eastern part of the country.
2. Supercritical and ultra-supercritical technologies in coal-based thermal power plants lead to higher efficiency and lower emissions.
3. All coal-based thermal power plants in India are mandated to install Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) units to control sulfur dioxide emissions.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
(b) Only two statements are correct (1 and 2 only)
India’s major coal reserves are indeed concentrated in the eastern states like Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal.
Supercritical and ultra-supercritical (USC) technology significantly improves the efficiency of coal-fired power plants by operating at very high temperatures and pressures, allowing for better heat extraction from the combustion process, resulting in less coal needed to generate the same amount of electricity and therefore, significantly lower CO2 emissions compared to traditional subcritical coal plants.
While the installation of Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) units is recommended to control sulfur dioxide emissions, not all coal-based thermal power plants in India have installed these units as of now due to various regulatory and financial challenges. (3rd statement is Incorrect)
