Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Low Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD) technology:
1. It is a process under which the warm surface seawater is flash evaporated at low pressure.
2. It is one of the major water polluting technologies that desalinate the water.
3. It gives less operational maintenance problems compared to other desalination processes.
How many of the above statements are correct?Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: It is a process under which the warm surface sea water is flash evaporated at low pressure and the vapour is condensed with cold deep sea water.
- Statement 2 is not correct: The LTTD technology does not require any chemical pre and post-treatment of seawater and thus the pollution problems are minimal and suitable for island territories.
Statement 3 is correct: Since no effluent treatment is required, it gives less operational maintenance problems compared to other desalination processes.
Incorrect
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: It is a process under which the warm surface sea water is flash evaporated at low pressure and the vapour is condensed with cold deep sea water.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Central Pay Commission:
- It is a Constitutional body established after the sanction of the Members of Parliament.
- Since 1947, twenty Pay Commissions have been constituted.
- It decides the salary and compensation of Central government staffers and allowances of pensioners.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: Pay Commission is set up by the Government of India and doesn’t need any legislative approval.
- Statement 2 is not correct: Since 1947, seven Pay Commissions have been constituted, with the last one constituted in 2014 and implemented on January 1, 2016. The 7th pay commission saw an expenditure increase of Rs 1 lakh crore for fiscal 2016-17.
- The Union Cabinet recently approved the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission to revise salaries of nearly 50 lakh central government employees and allowances of 65 lakh pensioners. The 8th Pay Commission will not only lead to increased salaries of Central government employees but also have revised Dearness Allowance (DA).
Statement 3 is correct: A Pay Commission, set up by the government of India, decides the salary and compensation of Central government staffers and allowances of pensioners.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWhich one of the following best describes the primary purpose of ISRO’s SpaDeX mission?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Option B is correct: Recently, the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission’s docking operation was successfully completed in January, 2025 marking India’s entry into the elite group of nations capable of executing space docking operations. With this success, India becomes the fourth country in the world to achieve this technological feat. ISRO started the mission with the successful launch of the SpaDeXspacecrfts using Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C60, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
- SpaDeX is a cost-effective technology demonstrator mission designed to showcase in-space docking using two small spacecrafts. The main goals of the SpaDeX mission are:
- Develop and demonstrate technology for rendezvous and docking using two small spacecrafts.
- Showcase controllability in the docked condition.
- Demonstrate the potential for extending the life of the target spacecraft.
- Test power transfer between docked spacecraft.
- Indigenous technologies incorporated in the SpaDex Mission:
- Docking mechanism.
- A suite of four rendezvous and docking sensors.
- Power transfer technology.
- Indigenous novel autonomous rendezvous and docking strategy.
- Inter-satellite communication link (ISL) for autonomous communication between spacecrafts, incorporated with inbuilt intelligence to know the state of the other spacecraft.
- GNSS-based Novel Relative Orbit Determination and Propagation (RODP) processor to determine the relative position and velocity of the other spacecraft.
Simulation test beds for both hardware and software design validation and testing.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota is one of the spaceports of India.
- At present its launch pads are only capable of supporting the launch of PSLV and GSLV.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota, the Spaceport of India, is responsible for providing Launch Base Infrastructure for the Indian Space Programme. This Centre has the facilities for solid propellant processing, static testing of solid motors, launch vehicle integration and launch operations, range operations comprising telemetry, tracking and command network and mission control centre.
- Recently, foundation stone for India’s second spaceport at Kulasekharapattinam, a coastal village in Tamil Nadu’s Thoothukudi district in 2024.
- Statement 2 is not correct: At present, the spaceport in Sriharikota has two launch pads. The first launch pad was set up 30 years ago and is designed to support the launch of smaller vehicles such as PSLV and SSLV. The second launch pad was set up 20 years ago, primarily for the launch of heavier vehicles such as GSLV and LVM3, but can also be used as a standby for the workhorse PSLV.
Recently, the cabinet has approved the launch of ISRO’s third launch pad at Sriharikota. The new launch pad will be required for the space agency to become future ready to use the heavier Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) that it is currently developing. It will also be essential for India’s plan of setting up the BharatiyaAntariksh Station by 2035 and sending a human to moon by 2040.
