Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following extinct species have been brought back to existence using present genetic technologies?
1. Woolly Mammoth
2. Dire wolf
3. Bucardo
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
● Points 2 and 3 are correct: A United States-based bioscience company claimed that it had revived an extinct species of animal, the dire wolf, made famous by the Game of Thrones TV series.Most likely, these “dire wolves” will become the second species on the planet to be brought back to life only to die again. The first was the bucardo, a mountain goat from the Pyrenees, Europe.
● Point 1 is not correct: Wooly mammoth has not been re-created.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Niveshak Didi initiative:
- It has been launched by the Union Ministry of Finance and the Union Ministry Women and Child Welfare.
- It aims to scale financial literacy among women in rural, semi-urban, and underserved areas.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: In a landmark step toward financial inclusion and rural empowerment, the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), under the aegis of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and India Post Payments Bank (IPPB), operating under the Department of Posts, have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to jointly launch Phase 2 of the “Niveshak Didi” initiative.
Statement 2 is correct: This strategic collaboration aims to scale financial literacy among women in rural, semi-urban, and underserved areas through grassroots mobilization and community-driven education.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding metallo-nanozymes and nanozymes:
- Metallo-nanozymes are artificial biocatalysts that mimic natural enzymes using metal ions for catalytic activity.
- Uncontrolled electron transfer in nanozymes can result in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cellular dysfunction.
- Metallo-nanozymes are incapable of integrating into biological systems due to their artificial nature.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct and statement 3 is not correct: Scientists have found that metallo-nanozymes, or artificial biocatalysts, mimicking natural enzymes that utilize metal ions for their catalytic activity are capable of controlling electron transfer, a crucial process for regulating cellular energy. This newly identified property of metallo-nanozymes seamlessly integrate into biological systems, enabling sustainable energy production, medical inventions, and environmental solutions.
Statement 2 is correct: While nanozymes are gaining attention, current-generation nanozymes pose several challenges, particularly in therapeutic applications. Many nanozymes lack well-defined active sites that can lead to uncontrolled electron transfer and unwanted side reactions. The unregulated electron transfer rates can lead to leakage of electrons, generating toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and affecting ATP production, which may result in cellular dysfunction and related complications.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to slippage ratio:
- Slippage ratio refers to the rate at which a good loan becomes stressed.
- Low or no slippage shows how well asset qualities are managed by the bank.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: Slippage ratio refers to the rate at which a good loan becomes stressed. A sharp rise in slippage impacts banks’ provisioning and net profit. Low or no slippage shows how well asset qualities are managed by the bank.
Incorrect
Answer: C
Explanation:
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: Slippage ratio refers to the rate at which a good loan becomes stressed. A sharp rise in slippage impacts banks’ provisioning and net profit. Low or no slippage shows how well asset qualities are managed by the bank.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding the newly introduced “Blue Category” of industries by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB):
- The Blue Category includes essential environmental services such as biomining and landfill maintenance.
- Industries in the Blue Category are classified based solely on their Pollution Index, similar to the Red, Orange, and Green categories.
- Some industries, like waste-to-energy plants and certain CBG plants, are placed in the Blue Category despite having a high Pollution Index due to the nature of services they provide.
- All compressed biogas (CBG) plants, regardless of feedstock, fall under the Blue Category.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation
- Statement 1 is correct:
The CPCB states the Blue Category is for “essential environmental services” such as “those engaged in maintaining landfills or biomining.” - Statement 2 is incorrect:
The classification into Blue is not solely based on Pollution Index. For example, “the PI of waste to energy plant is 97.6 (applicable for red category)… It is, however, in blue category, possibly because of the service it provides.” - Statement 3 is correct:
Despite high pollution potential, certain services are included in the Blue Category. “Waste to energy plants” and “CBG plants based on municipal solid waste” are examples, due to their essential role in environmental management.
Statement 4 is incorrect:
“CBG plants based on industrial or process waste will continue to be in red category.” Thus, not all CBG plants are placed under the Blue Category.Incorrect
