Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to the Wetland City Accreditation scheme:
- It has been introduced under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
- No Indian city has been included in the global list Wetland Accredited Cities.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is not correct: The 172 Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention have agreed to the conservation and wise use of wetlands in their territories. Recognizing the importance of cities and urban wetlands, the Convention has introduced a Wetland City accreditation scheme. This voluntary scheme provides an opportunity for cities that value their natural or human-made wetlands to gain international recognition and positive publicity for their efforts.
- Indore and Udaipur have been recently included in the prestigious list of 31 Wetland Accredited Cities worldwide. The inclusion of Indore and Udaipur in the global list of wetland cities marks a significant milestone for India in the field of urban environmental conservation. These two cities are now part of an exclusive group recognized for integrating wetland preservation into urban planning.
Indore, known for its cleanliness and innovative policies, is home to Sirpur Lake, a Ramsar site that attracts a large number of water birds. Plans are underway to transform the lake into a bird sanctuary, further supporting biodiversity conservation. Udaipur, renowned for its picturesque lakes, has five major wetlands: Pichola, Fateh Sagar, Rang Sagar, Swaroop Sagar, and DoodhTalai. These lakes are vital not only for the city’s heritage but also for ensuring climate stability and protecting the region from extreme weather conditions.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the Sun and other stars.
- International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor is an international project to research and develop nuclear fusion energy.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Fusion reactions power the Sun and other stars. In fusion, two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus. The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy.
Statement 2 is correct: The largest fusion reactor, an international collaborative project called International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), is coming up in southern France. More than 30 countries are participating with India being one of the seven member countries contributing to the reactor’s construction and research. This project, which has been under development since 2005, is slated to become one of the biggest international science facilities in the world. According to its current timeline, it would begin deuterium-tritium fusion reactions by 2039, producing 500 MW of fusion power. The goal of ITER is to demonstrate that fusion energy is scientifically and technologically feasible
