Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Bats navigate by producing sound waves at frequencies above human hearing, called ultrasound.
- Each species of bat has its own unique call pattern.
- BatEchoMon is an autonomous system capable of detecting and analysing bat calls in real-time.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Bats navigate and find insect prey using echolocation. They produce sound waves at frequencies above human hearing, called ultrasound. The sound waves emitted by bats bounce off objects in their environment. Then, the sounds return to the bats’ ears, which are finely tuned to recognize their own unique calls. Scientists and managers can identify and study bats by recording their calls with specialized microphones and recording devices. The bat calls can be translated into forms humans can see and hear.
- Statement 2 is correct: Bats can change their calls for different purposes. They have different searching, feeding, and social calls. And each species of bat has its own unique call pattern.
Statement 3 is correct: BatEchoMon, short for “Bat Echolocation Monitoring”, is an autonomous system capable of detecting and analysing bat calls in real-time. It is India’s first automated bat monitoring system, developed by Deshpande and Vedant Barje under the guidance of Jagdish Krishnaswamy, as part of the Long-Term Urban Ecological Observatory in the School of Environment and Sustainability at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), Bengaluru.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Micromoon is a Full or New Moon around apogee or the farthest distance from the Earth.
- A supermoon occurs when the Moon’s orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time the Moon is full.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: An American astrologer Richard Nolle defined a Supermoon as “a New or Full Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit”. Micromoon, on the contrary, is a Full or New Moon around apogee (the farthest distance from the Earth).
Statement 2 is correct: A supermoon occurs when the Moon’s orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time the Moon is full.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Atmospheric rivers:
- They are a narrow, fast-moving band of moisture and wind that transport large amounts of water vapour.
- When atmospheric rivers pass over land they can cause conditions similar to those of hurricanes with intense and rapid rainfall.
- Although atmospheric rivers occur all over the world, they are most common in the mid-latitudes.
- Pineapple Express is one of the strongest atmospheric rivers over the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Atmospheric rivers are a narrow, fast-moving band of moisture and wind — like rivers in the sky — that transport large amounts of water vapour. While they are an essential source of rainfall, they can lead to flooding, trigger mudslides and result in loss of life and property damage.
- Statement 2 is correct: When atmospheric rivers pass over land they can cause conditions similar to those of hurricanes with intense and rapid rainfall, cyclone force winds, and significantly increased wave heights.
- Statement 3 is correct: Although atmospheric rivers occur all over the world, they are most common in the mid-latitudes. “They form when large-scale weather patterns align to create narrow channels, or filaments, of intense moisture transport. These start over warm water, typically tropical oceans, and are guided toward the coast by low-level jet streams ahead of cold fronts of extratropical cyclones.
Statement 4 is not correct: One of the most well-known and strongest atmospheric rivers is the Pineapple Express, with moisture transported from the tropical Pacific around Hawaii to the US and Canadian West Coasts. Note that the latest atmospheric river to hit the US is not the Pineapple Express as it originated in the Caribbean.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC) was announced during the G20 Leaders’ event in New Delhi in 2023.
- Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII) is an alternative funding source to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: India and Italy recently reiterated their commitment to work jointly on the ambitious India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC or the IMEC). The IMEC is a landmark project announced during the G20 Leaders’ event in New Delhi in 2023. It was aimed at stimulating economic development through enhanced connectivity and economic integration between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
- It will have two separate corridors, the east corridor connecting India to the Arabian Gulf and the northern corridor connecting the Arabian Gulf to Europe, along with a railway route for supplementing trade exchanges between India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, and Europe.
- Statement 2 is correct: India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, France, Germany, Italy, the European Union and the United States signed an MoU for its development, linked to the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII). First announced in June 2021 during the G7 (or Group of Seven) summit in the UK, the PGII has been billed as an alternative funding source to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) without directly mentioning it.
