• Question 1 of 10 1. Question 1 points Consider the following statements regarding the Rhinoceros species: The horn of a rhinoceros is a bony outgrowth of the skull, similar to the antlers of a deer. All five surviving species of rhinoceros are native to the Asian continent. The Greater One-Horned Rhino is known for its semi-aquatic nature. How many of the above statements are incorrect? (a) Only one (b) Only two (c) All three (d) None Correct Solution: B Statement 1 is incorrect because the rhino horn is composed of keratin, a structural protein found in hair and nails, rather than bone or ivory. It is not attached to the skull bone but is a mass of compacted hair. Statement 2 is incorrect as the five species are distributed across two continents: the White and Black rhinos are native to Africa, while the Greater One-Horned, Javan, and Sumatran rhinos are native to Asia. Statement 3 is correct; the Indian (Greater One-Horned) rhino is known for its semi-aquatic nature, often found in swamps and rivers, and is an excellent swimmer. These animals are keystone species, meaning their presence is vital for maintaining the structure of their ecosystem through seed dispersal and grazing patterns. Incorrect Solution: B Statement 1 is incorrect because the rhino horn is composed of keratin, a structural protein found in hair and nails, rather than bone or ivory. It is not attached to the skull bone but is a mass of compacted hair. Statement 2 is incorrect as the five species are distributed across two continents: the White and Black rhinos are native to Africa, while the Greater One-Horned, Javan, and Sumatran rhinos are native to Asia. Statement 3 is correct; the Indian (Greater One-Horned) rhino is known for its semi-aquatic nature, often found in swamps and rivers, and is an excellent swimmer. These animals are keystone species, meaning their presence is vital for maintaining the structure of their ecosystem through seed dispersal and grazing patterns.

(a) Only one (b) Only two (c) All three (d) None Correct Solution: B Statement 1 is correct; the mission sets a long-term target of 100 GW by 2047 to support India’s Net Zero 2070 goal. Statement 2 is incorrect; while SMRs can complement the grid, their primary focus is on decentralized power, repowering retiring fossil units, and providing captive power for industrial decarbonization, rather than just replacing large urban plants. Statement 3 is correct; the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) is working on a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (~5 MW) designed for efficient hydrogen generation. SMRs are considered a “clean baseload” because they provide stable power unlike intermittent renewables.

• Question 8 of 10 8. Question 1 points Consider the following statements: Statement I: Rhinoceros poaching in African reserves has seen a significant decline in recent years. Statement II: The practice of dehorning rhinos has emerged as a cost-effective and successful tool to deter illegal wildlife trade. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements? (a) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I (b) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I (c) Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect (d) Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct Correct Solution: A According to a recent international study, dehorning has reduced poaching by 75–78% in African reserves. Since the horn—made of keratin—is the primary target for poachers due to its perceived medicinal value in some cultures, removing it preemptively (a painless process for the animal) removes the incentive for poachers. Therefore, Statement II directly explains the phenomenon described in Statement I. This strategy is part of a broader anti-poaching enforcement framework that reflects state capacity and governance in conservation.
