Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Methanol:
1. It has better fuel conversion efficiency than gasoline due to larger vaporization heat.
2. Methanol production from coal is more energy-efficient than from natural gas.
3. Methanol fuel does not easily form soot after combustion.
How many of the above statements are correct?Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
● Statement 1 is correct: In order to meet the various emission regulations and improve the atmospheric environment, methanol fuel has been used as a clean fuel to replace conventional fuels for the internal combustion (IC) engine. Compared with the conventional fossil-based fuels such as gasoline, methanol has better fuel conversion efficiencies due to larger vaporization heat and much better resistance to knock.
● Statement 2 is not correct: In the practical operation of methanol plants using natural gas, an efficiency of 50 to 65 percent is achieved, depending on the degree of waste heat recovery. The production of methanol only from coal has an estimated efficiency of 41 to 55 percent; but if methane and coal liquids are produced simultaneously, the overall process efficiency can climb to 75 percent. Waste and wood can also be used as energy sources.
● Statement 3 is correct: Compared with traditional gasoline and diesel fuel, methanol fuel contains only one carbon atom and is not easy to form soot after combustion. Due to its high oxygen content, methanol is more suitable for lean combustion and can reduce the combustion temperature in the cylinder, which inhibits the formation of NOx.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to the Electoral College system in U.S. Presidential elections:
- An election for President of the United States of America (USA) happens every four years.
- Presidential candidates in the USA are nominated by their respective political parties, typically through primary elections and caucuses.
- Electoral votes for each state are allocated based on the size of the state’s congressional delegation.
- President can be elected only after securing a simple majority of the popular vote across all states.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: An election for president of the United States happens every four years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The next presidential election will be on November 7, 2028.
- Statement 2 is correct: Candidates, representing a particular political party, are typically chosen in a primary of caucus.
- Primaries are a method of electing a candidate to represent a political party. A primary can be “open” (i.e., open to all registered voters who may vote for any candidate); “closed” (i.e., restricted to voters who are registered to the political party for which the election is being held); or “semi-closed” (i.e., restricted to voters who are registered to the political party for which the election is being held, but open to Independent voters).
- Caucuses, unlike primaries, are not elections and instead are held through a series of smaller, local meetings. Support is shown by hand voting and usually only voters registered with the specific political party are allowed to participate.
- Statement 3 is correct: Each state gets as many electors as it has members of Congress (House and Senate). Including Washington, D.C.’s three electors, there are currently 538 electors in all. Numerous states with smaller populations, like Alaska, Delaware, North and South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming have three electors each. All these states have one representative in the House and two senators in the Senate. California has the largest sum – 54 electoral votes. Washington DC is also allocated only three electors.
Statement 4 is not correct: The Electoral College is the method by which the United States chooses its president and vice-president indirectly through the state’s electors. The candidates in the running must secure the 270 electoral vote majority out of the 538 votes for the taking, to take the White House. In the US’s history, only five presidents have emerged victorious in presidential elections without winning the popular vote. The most recent one to do so was Donald Trump in 2016, when he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- CARIN is an informal network of law enforcement and judicial practitioners in the field of asset tracing, freezing, seizure and confiscation.
- Asset Recovery Interagency Network-Asia Pacific (ARIN-AP) is a member of CARIN Network.
- The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) of India has been included in the Steering Committee of the ARIN-AP.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: CARIN is an informal network of law enforcement and judicial practitioners in the field of asset tracing, freezing, seizure and confiscation. It is an inter-agency network. Each member state is represented by a law enforcement officer and a judicial expert (prosecutor, investigating judge, etc. depending on the legal system).
- Statement 2 is correct: Asset Recovery Interagency Network-Asia Pacific (ARIN-AP) is a member of CARIN Network. The aim of ARIN-AP is to increase the effectiveness of members’ efforts in depriving criminals of their illicit profits on a multi-agency basis by establishing itself as the center of professionals’ network in tackling the proceeds of crime.
Statement 3 is correct: India, represented by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), has been included in the Steering Committee of the Asset Recovery Interagency Network-Asia Pacific (ARIN-AP). ARIN-AP was established to facilitate cross-border collaboration on asset tracing, freezing, and confiscation.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Bomb Threat Assessment Committees (BTAC):
- It is a national level statutory body established by the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation.
- If a threat is classified as non-specific by the BTCA, no immediate action is taken.
- BTAC members include representatives of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: Bomb Threat Assessment Committees (BTAC) are airport specific committees. They are not national level committees established by the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation.
- Statement 2 is correct: When a threat is received, the BTAC of the designated airport is tasked with assessing the threat and classifying it as specific or non-specific. If the threat is classified as specific, a detailed security protocol is followed, which could include diverting the aircraft to a suitable nearby airport and entails strict security checks of passengers, cargo, and the aircraft itself upon landing. In case of a “non-specific threat”, no immediate action is taken.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWhich one of the following statements best describes the purpose of the NICeMail service?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Option B is correct: NICeMail is a cloud-based email communication platform designed for the modern workforce. Recently, The Union government has notified the Email Policy of Government of India, 2024, outlining which government departments and bodies must use the National Informatics Centre (NIC)’s NICeMail service.
The NICeMail service is used by much of the Union bureaucracy and by States. While the NIC, under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, hosts and maintains the email service, many email inboxes across the government have been shifted in recent months to Zoho.
