Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsGreenium, often seen in the news, can be best described as:
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Option A is correct: Green bonds are debt instruments issued by governments, corporations, and multilateral banks to raise funds for projects that reduce emissions or enhance climate resilience.
Issuers typically offer green bonds at lower yields than conventional bonds, assuring investors that the proceeds will be used exclusively for green investments. The difference in yield known as the green premium, or greenium determines the cost advantage of green bonds. A higher greenium allows issuers to raise funds at lower costs, making green investments more attractive.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following:
- South Lhonak lake is a glacial lake located in Himachal Pradesh.
- Teesta river originates as ChhomboChhu from a glacial lake in Sikkim.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: The South Lhonak lake is a glacial lake located in North Sikkim, at an altitude of 5,200 m.
- Statement 2 is correct: Teesta river originates as ChhomboChhu from a glacial lake KhangchungChho at an elevation of 5,280 m in the northeastern corner of the Sikkim. The glacial lake lies at the snout of the Teesta Khangse glacier descending from Pauhunri peak (7,056 m) in north western direction. Teesta Khangse glacier and ChhoLhamo are also considered as the source of Teesta river by many authors. Along its traverse from its origin to the plains, the river receives drainage from a number of tributaries on either side of its course. The tributaries on the eastern flank are shorter in course but larger in number whereas the tributaries on the western flank are much longer with larger drainage areas, consequently contributing much more amount of discharge to the main Teesta river. Furthermore, right-bank tributaries drain heavily glaciated areas with large snow-fields. The left bank tributaries, on the other hand, originate from semi-permanent and much smaller snow-fields as compared to right bank tributaries.
