It is not a digital platform of any kind and does not aim to promote crop insurance schemes.
o The fabric works through a process where a nucleophile is covalently attached to cotton fibres, allowing it to neutralize pesticides via nucleophilic-mediated hydrolysis.
● It has been developed by BRIC-inStem in Bangalore, in collaboration with Sepio Health Pvt. Ltd.
● The Kisan Kavach Protective Shield includes a full-body suit, mask, headshield, and gloves, offering comprehensive protection. Priced at ₹4,000, the suit is washable, reusable, and can last up to two years with up to 150 washes.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- A thrust fault is one in which the block of rock above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below.
- A strike-slip fault is a fault on which the two blocks of rock slide past one another.
- Denali fault is a major intracontinental normal fault located in the Himalayas.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: A normal fault is a dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below. This type of faulting occurs in response to extension and is often observed in the Western United States Basin and Range Province and along oceanic ridge systems. A reverse (thrust) fault is a dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block. When the dip angle is shallow, a reverse fault is often described as a thrust fault.
- Statement 2 is correct: A strike-slip fault is a fault on which the two blocks slide past one another. The San Andreas Fault is an example of a right lateral fault.
Statement 3 is not correct: Denali fault is a major intracontinental dextral (right lateral) strike-slip fault located in the southern half of Alaska in the Alaska Range. It extends from northwestern British Columbia, Canada to the central region of the U.S. state of Alaska. It is located on the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Starlink Mission, consider the following statements:
- It is a satellite network dedicated to provide low-cost internet to remote locations.
- It uses the Sun-synchronous orbit satellite constellation to deliver its task.
- At present, Starlink does not have any regulatory approval in India.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Starlink is the name of a satellite network developed by the private spaceflight company SpaceX to provide low-cost internet to remote locations.
- Statement 2 is not correct: Starlink uses an extensive low Earth orbit satellite constellation to deliver broadband internet that has high speeds and low latency. This means that rather than restricting users to essential or emergency functions, they can also stream content, play games online, make video calls, or carry out other high data rate activities, per the company. It is a popular choice for users worldwide in remote areas, sea vessels, disaster-struck regions, or places where oppressive regimes have throttled access to more mainstream internet services.
Statement 3 is correct: Starlink is still pending regulatory approval in India, though it will be starting in neighbouring Bangladesh and Bhutan in 2025.
