Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Nociceptors are sensory fibers that respond to stimuli that are potentially damaging to the organism.
- Neuromorphic devices can emulate the bionic sensory and perceptual functions of neural systems.
- Recently, scientists have developed a device that senses strain, mimics pain perception and adapts its electrical response accordingly.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Nociceptors are sensory fibers that respond to stimuli that are potentially damaging to the organism. In practice this can mean a variety of stimuli, ranging from intense pressure, extremes of temperature, to inflammation.
- Statement 2 is correct: Neuromorphic devices can emulate the bionic sensory and perceptual functions of neural systems. They have great applications in personal healthcare monitoring, neuro-prosthetics, and human–machine interfaces.
- Statement 3 is correct: Using a silver wire network on a stretchable material, scientists have developed a device that senses strain, mimics pain perception and adapts its electrical response accordingly. By recreating these pain-like responses, the device paves the way for future smart wearable systems that can help doctors detect stress.
When the material is stretched, small gaps appear within the silver network, temporarily breaking the electrical pathway. An electric pulse can then prompt the silver to fill these gaps, reconnecting the network and essentially “remembering” the event. Each time it is stretched and reconnected, the device gradually adjusts its response, much like how our bodies adapt to repeated pain over time. This dynamic process enables the device to mimic memory and adaptation, bringing humans closer to materials that respond intelligently to their environment.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsNautor Land, often seen in news, refers to:
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Option B is correct: As per the Himachal Pradesh Nautor Land Rules, 1968, “Nautor Land” means the right of utilise with the sanction of the competent authority, waste land owned by the Government, outside the towns, outside the reserved and demarcated protected forests, and outside such other areas as may be notified from time to time by the State Government in this behalf for any of the purposes

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- A DXA scan is an imaging test that measures the strength of your bones.
- Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical estimate of a person’s weight relative to their height.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: A DXA scan is an imaging test that measures the strength of your bones. It uses X-rays to measure your bone density. DXA is an abbreviation for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Statement 2 is correct: The Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used to calculate BMI value and corresponding weight status while taking age into consideration. It is a numerical estimate of a person’s weight relative to their height.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Low-level arsenic exposure may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- Arsenic is highly toxic in its organic form, compared to its less toxic organic form.
- The ability of arsenic to bioaccumulate and biomagnifyhave caused extensive distribution in the food webs and water bodies.
- Rice is susceptible to arsenic contamination because it absorbs more of the toxic semi-metallic element from water and soil.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Arsenic, a prevalent environmental contaminant in drinking water and rice, poses significant health risks, especially in Southeast Asia. Emerging evidence suggests that even low-level arsenic exposure may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- Statement 2 is not correct: In its inorganic form, arsenic is highly toxic: As (III) >As(V) compared to its less toxic organic form.
- Statement 3 is correct: Besides occupational exposure, the abilities of arsenic to bioaccumulate and biomagnify have caused extensive distribution in the food webs and water bodies. The widespread contamination of the environment, food and water led to massive increases in human exposure to arsenic. The contamination of various staple foods and drinking water by this toxic heavy metal poses a pervasive threat to the human population.
Statement 4 is correct: West Bengal and Bihar are impacted the most by arsenic contamination of groundwater. Rice is susceptible to arsenic contamination because it absorbs more of the toxic semi-metallic element from water and soil.

- Dr HomiJahengirBhabha established the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay (AEET).
- AEET was renamed Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).
- Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) is a Constituent Institution (CI) of HomiBhabha National Institute (HBNI).
