Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
1. Information Technology Act, 2000 provides the Indian government with the power to block access to a website on grounds of decency and morality under section 69A of the Act.
2. The OTT platforms, called as the publishers of online curated content have to self-classify the content into two based categories, under and above 18.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, provides the Indian government with the power to block access to a website. Decency and morality do not fall under the grounds for blocking websites under Section 69A.
- Statement 2 is not correct: The OTT platforms, called as the publishers of online curated content in the rules, would self-classify the content into five age based categories- U (Universal), U/A 7+, U/A 13+, U/A 16+, and A (Adult). Platforms would be required to implement parental locks for content classified as U/A 13+ or higher, and reliable age verification mechanisms for content classified as “A”. The publisher of online curated content shall prominently display the classification rating specific to each content or programme together with a content descriptor informing the user about the nature of the content, and advising on viewer description (if applicable) at the beginning of every programme enabling the user to make an informed decision, prior to watching the programme.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to NAKSHA Pilot programme:
- It is a flagship programme of.National Remote Sensing Centre.
- It aims to create and update land records in urban and peri urban areas.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: National Geospatial Knowledge-based Land Survey of Urban Habitations (NAKSHA) Pilot programme is a programme of the Department of Land Resources, Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India.
- Statement 2 is correct: Its objectives are creation of Land Records in Urban Areas as a pilot to ensure that urban land records are accurate and up-to-date, empowering urban citizens, improving ease of living and enabling better urban planning.
The one-year pilot programme NAKSHA would be implemented in more than 100 Cities across the country with Survey of India as Technical Partner under Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). Based on the leamings and outcomes of the pilot, a larger programme covering all the cities and towns would be implemented across the Country

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsThe International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA), recently in the news, is:
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Option (a) is incorrect: International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) is not a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN). It operates independently and is not part of the UN system.
- Option (b) is correct: IALA was originally a non-governmental organization (NGO) but was transformed into an inter-governmental organization (IGO) in 2020 to enhance global cooperation in marine navigation safety. The first General Assembly of IALA also marks its transition from a non-governmental organization (NGO) to an inter-governmental organization (IGO), where India was elected to its Vice Presidency.
- Option (c) is incorrect. While IALA was formerly an NGO, it no longer falls under this category after its transition to an inter-governmental body.
- Option (d) is incorrect. IALA works closely with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) but is not a division of it.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following:
- Macro-nutrients
- Micro – nutrients
- pH
- Electrical Conductivity
- Organic Carbon
The Soil Health Card contains the status of the soil with respect to how many of the above parameters?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
- The Soil Health Card Scheme was introduced in 2015. The scheme was launched to assist State Governments to issue soil health cards to all farmers in the country. Soil health card provides information to farmers on nutrient status of their soil along with recommendation on appropriate dosage of nutrients to be applied for improving soil health and its fertility.
- Option D is correct: The Soil Health Card contains status of the soil with respect to 12 parameters, namely N,P,K, S (Macro-nutrients); Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Bo (Micro – nutrients) ; and pH (Acidity or Basicity), EC (Electrical Conductivity) and OC (Organic Carbon).

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Coronal Holes, consider the following statements:
- They are dark regions in the Sun’s atmosphere that are observed in X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) images.
- These regions have closed magnetic field lines that trap solar wind within the Sun’s atmosphere.
- They are intense sources of fast solar wind, which can influence Earth’s space weather and ionosphere.
- The variability of Indian Monsoon rainfall has been linked to the radiative effects of coronal holes in addition to sunspot activity.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is not correct: Coronal holes are dark regions in X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) images of the Sun, making them distinguishable from other solar features. Discovered in the 1970s by X-ray satellites, “coronal holes” in the sun’s atmosphere are dark in the X-ray and EUV wavelengths, and are low-density regions that have open magnetic field structures in the interplanetary space.
- Statement 3 is correct: These solar activity phenomena are intense sources of fast (450-800 km/sec) solar wind—streams of charged particles that escape from the sun, more easily into space. At present, this high-speed solar wind can interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, causing disturbances like geomagnetic storms.
- Statement 4 is correct: Interestingly, a recent physics-based study came to the conclusion that, in addition to influence of sunspots, parameterized study of radiative effects of coronal holes explains satisfactorily the variability of Indian Monsoon rainfall. Moreover, occurrences of coronal holes are associated with disturbances in the Earth’s ionosphere, the layer of the atmosphere that reflects and modifies the radio waves, leading to further communication issues.
