1. Pennaiyar Nandidurg mountain Sathanur dam 2. Periyar Sivagiri hills Mullaperiyar dam 3. Beas Rohtang la Dul Hasti In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation: Cyclone Fengal brought the highest rainfall recorded in the last 70 years to upstream areas of the Sathanur dam.
- Row 1 is correctly matched: Pennaiyar River is also known as Thenpannai. It originates Eastern slope of Nandidurg Mountain (Chennakaseva Hills), Karnataka. It flows through Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. 77% drainage basin of the river lies in Tamil Nadu.
Tributaries: Markandanadhi, Kambainallur, Pambar, Vaniyar, Kallar, Valayar etc.
Sathanur dam is constructed across the Thenpennai River (also known as Pennaiyar River) in Thandarampet Taluk, Tiruvannamalai District, Tamil Nadu.
- Row 2 is correctly matched: The Periyar River, originating from the Sivagiri hills of the Western Ghats, is the longest river in the Indian state of Kerala. Known as the “Lifeline of Kerala,” it plays a crucial role in the state’s economy, agriculture, and daily life. The major tributaries of the Periyar River are: Muthirapuzha River, Mullayar River, Cheruthoni River, Perinjankutti River, and Edamala River. The Mullaperiyar Damis built on the Periyar River in the Idukki district of Kerala
Row 3 is incorrectly matched: The Beas rises at an elevation of 14,308 feet (4,361 metres) at Rohtang Pass in the western (Punjab) Himalayas (a section of the vast Himalayas mountain range), in central Himachal Pradesh. The Beas River has many tributaries, including: Bain, Banganga, Chakki, Gaj Khad, Harla, Luni, Mamuni, Parbati, Sainj, Suketi, and Uhl. The Dul Hasti Dam is located on the Chenab River in the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The Chenab is a tributary of the Indus River. Pong dam and Pandoh dams are built on Beas river.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following country has the largest reserves and production of Copper in the world?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation: India faces a potential copper shortage as new Quality Control Order (QCO) norms for refined copper imports restrict non-Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)-certified imports.
- Option (a) is correct: Copper is a good conductor of electricity and is ductile (able to be drawn out into a thin wire). It is used by the automobile and defence industries, and in the electrical industry for making wires, electric motors, transformers, and generators. Chilehas the world’s largest copper reserves, with 190 million metric tons as of 2023. Chile’s reserves are enough to sustain copper production for about 100 years at the current extraction rate. Chile is also the world’s largest copper producer accounting for almost 27% of world production. India has low grade copper ore Copper Reserves in India. In India, 95% of copper is distributed only in Madhya Pradesh.
Highest Reserve Worldwide: Chile, DR Congo, Peru and China.
Highest Production Worldwide: Chile, Australia, Peru, Russia.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to the legal basis for minority status in India:
- Indian Constitution guarantees all minorities, whether based on religion or language, the right to establish educational institutions of their choice.
- A community once granted a minority status in any state is a minority across the nation.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Article 30(1) of the Indian Constitution guarantees “all minorities, whether based on religion or language, the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.” National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (NCMEI) Act, 2004 empowers the NCMEI to grant minority status certificates to educational institutions.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Minority status is determined at the state level, meaning a community may be a minority in one state but not in another. The institution must be established and administered by a community that is recognized as a minority, either religious or linguistic, in the specific state where the institution is located. Eg. Tamils in Maharashtra or Kannadigas in Tamil Nadu can claim linguistic minority status in those states.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement-I:
The electric filament in a light bulb is made of tungsten.
Statement-II
Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statements I and II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I: The filament in an electric bulb is made of tungsten. Tungsten (W) has the highest melting point of any metal, at 3,422 °C (6,192 °F). It also has the highest tensile strength and lowest vapor pressure. Tungsten’s high melting point makes it ideal for use in electrical filaments in incandescent light bulbs. When an electric current passes through the filament, it heats up and produces light energy. It is also used in high-speed aircraft, missiles, and rocket engine nozzles for its heat resistance and armor-piercing projectiles and radiation shielding due to its high density. Tungsten resources in India are mainly distributed in Karnataka (42%), Rajasthan (27%), Andhra Pradesh (17%), and Maharashtra (9%). It is one of the 30 critical minerals in India.
