• Question 1 of 10 1. Question 1 points Consider the following statements regarding Human Rated Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (HLVM3). Statement-I: HLVM-3’s Crew Escape System improves the survival probability of astronauts during a launch anomaly. Statement-II: The Crew Escape System activates only after the spacecraft reaches Low Earth Orbit (LEO). 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: c) Statement-I is correct. The Crew Escape System (CES) integrated into ISRO’s HLVM-3 (Human-rated LVM3) is designed to maximize astronaut safety during launch. In the event of a launch anomaly—such as rocket malfunction or explosion during ascent—the CES can rapidly separate the crew module from the launch vehicle, propelling it away to a safe distance using quick-reacting motors. This significantly enhances the survivability of astronauts during the most critical phases of launch. Statement-II is incorrect. The CES does not wait until the spacecraft reaches Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to activate. In fact, it is specifically designed to function during the initial atmospheric phase of the launch, when the risks of mechanical failure or explosion are highest. Once the rocket clears this danger zone and is on a stable trajectory toward orbit, the escape system is jettisoned, as its utility diminishes post-atmosphere.

• Question 3 of 10 3. Question 1 points Consider the following statements regarding Notifiable diseases. Reporting of notifiable diseases in India is voluntary for healthcare providers.

How many of the above statements is/are correct? (a) Only one (b) Only two (c) All three (d) None Correct Solution: d) Statement 1 is incorrect. In India, the reporting of notifiable diseases is legally mandatory for healthcare providers. This requirement helps public health authorities detect outbreaks early, allocate resources efficiently, and implement containment measures. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, as well as state health departments, regularly update the list of notifiable diseases under relevant public health laws. Statement 2 is incorrect. While communicable diseases like AIDS, tuberculosis, or cholera are commonly classified as notifiable due to their potential for outbreaks, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer and diabetes have also been designated as notifiable in some states and contexts. This allows for improved disease surveillance and health planning across all disease spectrums. Statement 3 is incorrect. Although public health concerns may justify some exceptions to patient confidentiality, especially during epidemics, the right to privacy is not automatically suspended. Public health authorities are required to balance data sharing with ethical and legal obligations to protect individual confidentiality. Incorrect Solution: d) Statement 1 is incorrect.

• Question 8 of 10 8. Question 1 points Consider the following statements regarding Notifiable diseases. Statement-I: Notifying a disease under law in India empowers the government to monitor and control its spread more effectively. Statement-II: Declaration of notifiable diseases automatically involves WHO intervention in India’s domestic public health affairs. Which one of the following is correct? 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: c) Statement-I is correct. In India, when a disease is designated as notifiable, it legally mandates healthcare providers to report cases to the government.

It provides the legal authority for the administration to take actions like quarantine, contact tracing, and public health advisories. This mechanism is vital for epidemiological intelligence and effective disease control. Statement-II is incorrect. The declaration of a notifiable disease in India does not trigger automatic involvement by the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO only steps in under specific circumstances, particularly when diseases are covered under the International Health Regulations (IHR) — for example, novel influenza strains or other Public Health Emergencies of International Concern (PHEIC). Domestic public health declarations and response mechanisms remain under national jurisdiction, unless the disease has cross-border implications warranting international cooperation.

• Question 10 of 10 10. Question 1 points Which one of the following best describes India’s position on international refugee law? a) India has a dedicated domestic refugee law aligned with the 1951 Convention. b) India follows a case-by-case administrative policy for refugees without being a party to the 1951 Convention. c) India has signed but not ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention. d) India applies only regional refugee agreements and not international treaties. Correct Solution: b) India is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol and lacks a dedicated domestic refugee law. However, it manages refugees through a case-by-case administrative framework, granting asylum based on humanitarian and political considerations. The government handles different groups (e.g., Sri Lankan Tamils, Tibetans, Rohingya) through executive decisions rather than codified law.
