Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to Cancer:
- Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body.
- All cancer cells form solid tumors which direct blood vessels to grow away from them.
- Cancer can be diagnosed using biopsies as well as ultrasounds.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. These cells may form tumors, which are lumps of tissue. Tumors can be cancerous or not cancerous (benign).
- Statement 2 is incorrect: Cancerous tumors may also be called malignant tumors. Many cancers form solid tumors, but cancers of the blood, such as leukemias, generally do not. Cancer tells blood vessels to grow toward tumors. These blood vessels supply tumors with oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products from tumors.
Statement 3 is correct: Imaging tests used in diagnosing cancer may include a computerized tomography (CT) scan, bone scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) scan, ultrasound and X-ray, among others. During a biopsy, doctor collects a sample of cells for testing in the laboratory. In most situations, a biopsy is the only way to definitively diagnose cancer. New ultrasound technique can detects cancer biomarkers in blood, potentially replacing biopsies, with promising results for early detection.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsThe Union Cabinet has approved for India to join the International ‘Energy Efficiency Hub’(EEH). With respect to EEH, consider the following statements:
- Energy Efficiency Hub is a successor of International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) of which India was not a member.
- Bureau of Energy Efficiency, a statutory body, has been designated as the implementing agency on behalf of India.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect: Energy Efficiency Hub or ‘the Hub’ is a government-to-government platform for global collaboration on energy efficiency. At the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Hamburg in 2017, Germany as the president of G20 proposed to establish the Energy Efficiency Hub. The Hub was established in 2019, and the secretariat started operations in 2021. Currently, India is an Association country of International Energy Agency (IEA), which makes India eligible to join the Energy Efficiency Hub as a member country. Energy Efficiency Hub is a successor of International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC). India was a member of IPEEC.
Statement 2 is correct: Bureau of Energy Efficiency, a statutory body, have been designated as the implementing agency on behalf of India. The BEE was established in 2002 under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001. As of July 2024), 16 countries are members of the Energy Efficiency Hub. They are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, European Commission, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Russia, Saudi Arabia, USA and UK. Member governments get to learn international best practices on how to design and implement energy efficiency policies.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement-I:
- The State governments are in charge of creating new districts, altering current districts, or eradicating existing districts.
Statement-II
The state of Assam has created co-districts which are to serve as similar administrative units like districts led by an officer of the rank of a District Commissioner.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement I is correct: The State governments are in charge of creating new districts, altering current districts, or eradicating existing districts. Either an executive order or a bill passed by the State Assembly can establish a new district. Numerous States favour the executive method, which involves merely publishing a notification in the official gazette. In the modification or formation of new districts, the Center has no involvement. The choice is up to the state. When a State wants to modify the name of a district or a railroad station, the Home Ministry is involved.
Statement II is incorrect: As a new administrative set-up, the Assam government launched 21 co-districts in the state. They will serve as smaller administrative units below the districts led by an officer of the rank of Assistant District Commissioner. The functions of the officers include land revenue matters, development and welfare work, excise and disaster management work. The officers of co-districts have administrative control over all departments within the area and have magisterial powers such as the issue of permissions for events.
