Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statements 1 and 2 are correct: The present-day National Board for Wildlife was created in 2003 after amending The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following are associated with the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) of the ISRO?
- Placement of two 500 KG satellites in different orbits
- Capability to give command to both the satellites as a single composite
- Joining of two satellites in the space orbit
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Option B is correct: The Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission saw two small 220-kg satellites being brought together in the same orbit, then progressively brought near each other, before finally being joined early January 2025. ISRO also demonstrated power sharing and the capability to give command to both the satellites as a single composite.
- The capability is essential for several large, complex missions that ISRO has planned. For Chandrayaan-4, the next lunar mission which will bring back samples from the surface of the Moon, ISRO will need to carry out two dockings – one in the Moon orbit and one in the Earth orbit. After landing on the Moon and collecting the samples, the ascender module will fly back to the transfer module waiting in the lunar orbit. The transfer module will carry the samples back to the Earth orbit where it will meet the separately launched re-entry module capable of withstanding the heat of re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
Nearly two months after the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully demonstrated its docking capability, it disengaged and undocked the two satellites, SDX01 and SDX02. The two satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target), are now moving around independently in orbit.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Exploration Licence regime:
- It has been introduced through amendment to the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957.
- It is aimed at expediting the exploration of critical minerals such as lithium, copper, silver, diamond and gold.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: The Exploration Licence regime has been introduced through amendment to the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 effect from 17.08.2023, to further boost exploration and mining of 29 critical and deep-seated minerals in the country. Exploration Licence can be granted for minerals specified in Seventh Schedule through auction. Process for grant of Exploration Licence has been notified through the Mineral (Auction) Amendment Rules, 2024.
Statement 2 is correct: The Exploration Licence regime is aimed at expediting the exploration of critical minerals such as lithium, copper, silver, diamond, and gold, involves active participation from the private sector. Through the auction process, the licensee will be permitted to conduct reconnaissance and prospecting operations to identify viable mining areas. The license holder will get share of revenue from auction premium for 50 years as per the auction bid. Further, the EL holder can transfer the license after the execution of the EL.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following:
- No barbed wires are used and only plain High tensile wire is used.
- Selective barriers are possible.
3.It is not dependent on regular electricity supply as it operates on battery.
How many of the above are advantages of the Solar Perimeter Security Electric Fence system?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Option C is correct: The Solar Perimeter Security Electric Fence system is a modern day alternative to conventional methods of fencing to protect your crops & property. Electric Fence is an effective way to reduce losses caused by animals.
- When an animal or human being comes into contact with the electric Fence, they receive a sharp, short, painful but safe electric shock. The shock does not cause any physical damage. The electric fence acts as a strong psychological barrier as any intruder avoid coming into contact with the electric Fence once they experience the shock. After a period of conditioning, the mere presence of the fence acts as an effective barrier even if it is not powered ‘ON’. Electric fence can be made to detect a fault on the fence like shorting or cutting of the wire due to tampering on the fence with the Alarm system.
- The major advantages of Electric Fences over traditional fences are:
- Fence posts are erected 6 – 8 mts apart depending upon the terrain.
- No barbed wires are used. Only plain High tensile (Strong) wire is used.
- A long life as the fence is not subjected to physical pressures of wear and tear.
- Selective barriers possible. For example, Elephant barriers can be designed to allow smaller animals like cattle to move in and or out.
- It is used in more than 165 countries all over the world.
- It is the most effective method of fencing, and is safe to all kinds of animals and to human beings.
- It is easily constructed and maintained.
- It is long lasting and can be modified, extended, shifted and re-erected from one place to another, without loss of materials and waste of labour.
- This is the only method of fencing, which can effectively keep all kinds of wild animals out.
It is not dependent on regular electricity supply as it operates on battery.
