Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the State of India’s Bats (SoIBATS) 2024–25 Report, consider the following statements:
- India hosts more than 100 species of bats.
- All bat species in India are currently classified as threatened by the IUCN.
- Bats are increasingly adapting to urban environments using man-made structures.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
-
- Statement 1 is Correct: India hosts approximately 135 species of bats, which is well over the “more than 100” mentioned. The highest diversity is concentrated in West Bengal (68 species) and Meghalaya (66 species).
- Statement 2 is Incorrect: Not all species are threatened. In fact, only 7 species are currently classified as “Threatened” by the IUCN. A significant number (35 species) are listed as “Data Deficient” or have not yet been assessed.
- Statement 3 is Correct: The report highlights that bats are increasingly roosting in man-made structures such as old buildings, tombs, and tunnels, showing a clear adaptation to urban environments.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to ecological role of bats, consider the following statements:
- Fruit bats play a major role in pollination and forest regeneration.
- Insectivorous bats increase dependence on chemical pesticides.
- Bat guano is rich in nutrients and acts as a natural fertilizer.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: Fruit bats act as key pollinators and seed dispersers, contributing significantly to forest regeneration (up to ~40% in some tropical regions). This ecological service is crucial for biodiversity maintenance.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: Insectivorous bats reduce the need for chemical pesticides by consuming large quantities of insects, including crop pests. They act as natural pest control agents.
• Statement 3 is Correct: Bat guano is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, enhancing soil fertility. It is widely used as an organic fertilizer, especially in cave ecosystems and agriculture.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Sijimali Bauxite Conflict, consider the following statements:
- Sijimali Hill is located in the Western Ghats region.
- Odisha holds more than half of India’s bauxite reserves.
- The Kondh tribe opposing the project belongs to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Incorrect: Sijimali Hill is located in the Eastern Ghats (Odisha), not the Western Ghats. The Eastern Ghats are ecologically sensitive and often compared to the Aravallis.
• Statement 2 is Correct: Odisha accounts for about 51% of India’s bauxite reserves, making it the “Aluminium Hub” of India. This highlights the strategic importance of the region.
• Statement 3 is Correct: The Kondh tribe includes PVTGs and other Scheduled Tribes residing in Odisha’s hilly regions. Their resistance reflects issues of tribal rights, land acquisition, and environmental justice.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWith reference to characteristics of Bauxite, consider the following statements:
- Bauxite is a ferrous mineral and primary ore of iron.
- It is formed by intense chemical weathering in tropical climates.
- It generally occurs as residual deposits on plateaus and hilltops.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Incorrect: Bauxite is a non-ferrous mineral and is the principal ore of aluminium, not iron.
• Statement 2 is Correct: Bauxite forms through laterisation, a process of intense chemical weathering in tropical and subtropical climates. This process removes silica and enriches aluminium oxides.
• Statement 3 is Correct: It occurs as residual deposits, typically found on plateaus, uplands, and hilltops. It is not associated with veins or lodes like metallic minerals.Incorrect
