Answer: A
Explanation: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid the foundation stone for the Ken-Betwa river-linking project which is aimed at solving the water woes of the Bundelkhand region.
● Row 1 is incorrectly matched: The Ken River is a tributary of the Yamuna River. The Ken is one of the Yamuna’s main tributaries in the plains, and it’s the last tributary before the Yamuna joins the Ganga. The Ken River originates in the Mamar hills of the Katni district of Madhya Pradesh. Pennar river originates from Nandidurg.
● Row 2 is correctly matched: Betwa originates in the Vindhya Range (near Hoshangabad, MP), and travels a distance of 590 km, before merging with the Yamuna at Hamirpur . The Betwa River is a tributary of the Yamuna River. The Betwa River’s basin is saucer-shaped with sandstone hills around the perimeter. The river is not navigable for nearly half of its course. Ken Betwa link project (KBLP) aims to transfer excess water from the Ken River to the Betwa River, both tributaries of the Yamuna.
● Row 3 is incorrectly matched: The Periyar River is the longest river in Kerala, India, and is known as the “Lifeline of Kerala”. It originates in the Western Ghats’ Sivagiri hills and flows through the Periyar National Park. The river eventually empties into the Arabian Sea after passing through Vembanad Lake. The Periyar River is not a tributary of any other river, but it does have several tributaries itself. The Ponnaiyar River is a major river in the Cauvery Basin.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statement with respect to the Real Effective Exchange Rate(REER) is not correct?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
Statements (a), (b) and (c) is correct while statement (d) is incorrect: The real effective exchange rate (REER) compares a nation’s currency value against the weighted average of the currencies of its major trading partners. It is an indicator of the international competitiveness of a nation in comparison with its trade partners. The formula is weighted to take into account the relative importance of each trading partner to the home country. It takes into account inflation differentials between a country and its trading partners. An increasing REER indicates that a country is losing its competitive edge. An increase in a nation’s REER is an indication that its exports are becoming more expensive and its imports are becoming cheaper, reducing its trade competitiveness.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement-I:
As human beings age, muscle loss occurs at a rate of 3–5% per decade.
Statement-II
Mutations in mitochondria result in overproliferation of mitochondrial function as in cancer.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statements I is correct: Muscle loss is a normal part of aging and is known as sarcopenia. It can occur as early as your 30s and continues at a rate of 3–5% per decade. The number of muscle fibers decreases and they shrink in size. Sarcopenia can lead to diminished strength and exercise capacity, and is a risk factor for disability and mortality.
Statement II is incorrect: Researchers have found out that mutations in Mitochondria result in gradual decline in mitochondrial functions which leads to the death of muscle cells. The death of muscle cells in turn leads to loss of muscle mass. Mitochondrial DNA is more prone to mutations compared to nuclear DNA as it is exposed to free radicals generated during energy production, which can damage DNA. When mitochondria are impaired they do not produce sufficient energy. It causes inherited conditions like heart problems, liver failure, brain disorders, blindness and muscular dystrophy.
