How many of the statements given above are correct?Correct
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is incorrect: The trade deficit with China rose to $85 billion, Russia to $57.2 billion, Korea to $14.71 billion and Hong Kong to $12.2 billion in 2023-24 against $83.2 billion, $43 billion, $14.57 billion and $8.38 billion, respectively, in 2022-23.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
The effect of rising trade deficit is that it necessarily
1. Depreciates the country’s currency.
2. Improves the trade balance
3. Makes imports more expensive.Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Why in News:
● India recorded trade deficit with 9 of its top 10 trading partners. Replacing USA, China emerged as the biggest trading partner in 2022-2023Explanation:
● Statement 1 and 3 are correct: A trade deficit occurs when a country imports more than it exports or when a country buys more than it sells, it has a trade deficit. A rising trade deficit can cause the country’s currency to depreciate because more foreign currency is needed for imports. This depreciation makes imports more expensive and it worsens the deficit.● Statement 2 is incorrect: Trade deficit = Imports – Exports , in this phenomenon Imports are higher than the exports hence the trade is not balanced.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsIn astronomy , ‘Transient’ is used in the case of which one of the following?
Correct
Why in News: On May 21, in fact, the Indian-American astronomer Shrinivas Kulkarni was awarded the Shaw Prize for Astronomy in 2024 for his work on the physics of astronomical transients.
Explanation:
• Statement 2 is correct: a ‘transient’ is any celestial object whose brightness changes in short spans of time. There are many kinds of astronomical transients, all of them united by phenomena that are violent in some measure. Astronomers study transients to understand where their violence comes from and what that can tell us about non-transient events.
◦ examples of transients, including supernovae (explosions of outer layers of large stars) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) (associated with supermassive black holes).
◦ Another intriguing transient is the fast radio burst (FRB), which emits intense energy in milliseconds, although its cause remains unknown.Incorrect
