• Question 1 of 10 1. Question 1 points Consider the following statements about the operational nuclear power plants in India: The Rajasthan Atomic Power Station is the only operational nuclear power plant in Rajasthan. The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant is the southernmost nuclear power plant in India. The Narora Atomic Power Station is located in Uttar Pradesh. Which of the above statements is/are correct? a) 1 and 2 only b) 2 and 3 only c) 1 and 3 only d) 1, 2, and 3 Correct Solution: b) Statement 3 is incorrect. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) criticized United World Wrestling’s rules for penalizing athletes for failing a second-day weigh-in, calling them “draconian.” However, CAS denied Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat any relief after she was disqualified for being 100 grams over the weight limit on the second day of the 50kg wrestling event at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The ruling highlighted the fairness of the elimination but criticized the severity of the punishment. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), established in 1984, operates under the International Council of Arbitration for Sport (ICAS). It is an independent institution focused on resolving sports-related disputes through arbitration or mediation, adapting procedural rules to the sports world’s needs. Incorrect Solution: d) Statement 1 is correct: The Rajasthan Atomic Power Station is indeed the only operational nuclear power plant in Rajasthan. Statement 2 is correct: The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, located in Tamil Nadu, is the southernmost nuclear power plant in India. Statement 3 is correct: The Narora Atomic Power Station is located in Uttar Pradesh.

• Question 2 of 10 2. Question 1 points What is the primary significance of the new genome-editing tool developed by researchers from the ICAR-National Rice Research Institute and Pennsylvania State University? a) It is based on a protein from a bacterium called Deinococcus radiodurans. b) It is the first genome-editing tool designed specifically for animals. c) It is the largest genome-editing tool developed so far. d) It is used exclusively for editing the genomes of dicots. Correct Solution: a) A team of researchers from the ICAR-National Rice Research Institute in India and Pennsylvania State University in the U.S. has developed a new, miniature genome-editing tool that holds promise for agricultural applications. The new tool, based on a protein called ISDra2TnpB from the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, is less than half the size of these proteins, making it more suitable for plant genome editing. This TnpB-based system offers a significant improvement in editing efficiency, particularly in plants where traditional tools have been less effective. Researchers have successfully used it on both monocots (like rice) and dicots (like Arabidopsis), although the efficiency was lower in dicots. The system can perform both base editing and transcription activation, opening new possibilities for crop improvement, such as reducing plant height to make crops like rice less prone to cyclone damage. The new tool’s potential lies in its ability to precisely modify plant genomes, potentially removing undesirable traits or introducing beneficial ones.

• Question 7 of 10 7. Question 1 points What significant discovery did the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) on the Pragyan Rover of the Chandrayaan-3 mission make about the lunar soil in the South Polar Region of the Moon? a) Detection of water molecules in the lunar soil b) First in-situ elemental abundance measurements of lunar soil c) Discovery of new lunar minerals d) Identification of helium-3 in high concentrations Correct Solution: b) The Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) on the Pragyan Rover of the Chandrayaan-3 mission has provided the first in-situ elemental abundance measurements of lunar soil in the South Polar Region of the Moon. Conducted by scientists from the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) and ISRO, these measurements support the Lunar Magma Ocean (LMO) hypothesis, which suggests that the Moon’s primordial crust formed as lighter minerals floated to the surface. APXS detected higher levels of magnesium-rich minerals, indicating contributions from deeper lunar layers, likely due to material ejected during the formation of the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin. The data showed that the lunar soil is a mix of two rock types: Ferroan Anorthosite (rich in plagioclase) and the Magnesian Suite, with unexpected levels of olivine and pyroxene, minerals typically found in the Moon’s inner layers.
