1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following areas:
1. Singhbhum Thrust Belt
2. Cuddapah basin of Andhra Pradesh
3. Mahadek basin of Meghalaya
4. Salal-Haimana area of Reasi
How many of the above areas are known for their uranium deposits in India?Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
● Point 1 is correct: Jaduguda in Singhbhum Thrust Belt (in the state of Jharkhand, formerly part of Bihar) is the first uranium deposit to be discovered in the country in 1951. The Singhbhum Thrust Belt is a zone of intense shearing and deep tectonization with less than 1km width and known for a number of copper deposits with associated nickel, molybdenum, bismuth, gold, silver etc.
● Point 2 is correct: Several uranium occurrences have also been found in the Cuddapah basin of Andhra Pradesh. These include Lambapur-Peddagattu, Chitrial, Kuppunuru, Tumallapalle, Rachakuntapalle which have significantly contributed towards the uranium reserve base of India.
● Point 3 is correct: In the Mahadek basin of Meghalaya in the NorthEastern part of the country, sandsyone type uranium deposits like Domiasiat, Wahkhyn, Mawsynram provide near-surface flat orebodies amenable to commercial operations.
● Point 4 is not correct: The Salal-Haimana area of Reasi, Jammu and Kashmir is known for its lithium reserves, not uranium:Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following:
- Glucose
- Sodium chloride
- Potassium chloride
- Sodium citrate
- Polyethylene glycol
How many of the above constitute the Oral Rehydration Solution?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Points 1, 2 and 3 are correct: Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is an oral powder–containing a mixture of glucose sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium citrate. After being dissolved in the requisite volume of water they are intended for the prevention and treatment of dehydration due to diarrhea, including maintenance therapy. ORS and zinc are recommended by the WHO and UNICEF to be used collectively to ensure the effective treatment of diarrhea.
Point 4 is not correct: Polyethylene glycol is not a constituent of the ORS.

3. Question
1 pointsThis Tiger Reserve was Notified As National Park In 1968. It derives Its name from the legends of Ramayana. It is believed that the fort inside the park was built by Lord Rama and given to his brother Lakshman. It is also known to house white tigers. This is the most likely description of:
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, which was notified as a national park in 1968, derives its name from the legends of the Ramayana. It is believed that the fort inside the park was built by Lord Rama and given to his brother Lakshman, hence the name Bandhavgarh (Bandhav – Brother and Garh – Fort). It is also believed that the forests of Bandhavgarh, along with the neighboring Sanjay Tiger Reserve, were once part of one vast forest many years ago, from which the origin of white tigers can be traced back.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Aditya-L1 satellite:
- All its seven payloads have been developed indigenously.
- It is located at a point in space where the gravitational forces of the Sun and Earth are in equilibrium.
- Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) of the Aditya L1 has estimated the onset time of a coronal mass ejection that erupted on the Sun.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Aditya-L1 is a satellite dedicated to the comprehensive study of the Sun. It has 7 distinct payloads developed, all developed indigenously. Five by ISRO and two by Indian academic institutes in collaboration with ISRO.
- Statement 2 is correct: Aditya in Sanskrit means the Sun. L1 here refers to Lagrange Point 1 of the Sun-Earth system. For common understanding, L1 is a location in space where the gravitational forces of two celestial bodies, such as the Sun and Earth, are in equilibrium. This allows an object placed there to remain relatively stable with respect to both celestial bodies.
- Statement 3 is correct: Scientists who developed Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) onboard Aditya-L1 precisely estimated the onset time of a coronal mass ejection that erupted on the Sun. VELC is the spacecraft’s primary payload.
