Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to climate adaptation and resilience in India, consider the following statements:
- India is among the top five most climate-vulnerable countries globally.
- NICRA focuses on climate-resilient agriculture in selected vulnerable regions.
- Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) emphasizes decentralised planning at local governance levels.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (c)

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Cold Spark Technology, consider the following statements:
- It relies on explosive combustion similar to traditional fireworks.
- It operates at significantly lower temperatures compared to conventional sparklers.
- It reduces noise pollution and health risks associated with fireworks.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Incorrect: Cold spark technology uses chemical reactions of metal powders, not explosive combustion, making it safer and quieter.
• Statement 2 is Correct: It operates at 60–100°C, compared to traditional sparklers (~1200°C), significantly reducing fire hazards.
• Statement 3 is Correct: It minimizes noise pollution and health risks, making it suitable for sensitive environments like hospitals and animal habitats.Incorrect

1 pointsWith reference to groundwater contamination in India, consider the following statements:
- Arsenic contamination is mainly prevalent in western India.
- Fluoride contamination can lead to skeletal fluorosis and knock-knee syndrome.
- Reverse osmosis is one of the technologies used to mitigate groundwater contamination.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:

Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Incorrect: PABS is based on a quid pro quo system, where pathogen sharing is linked with legally binding benefit-sharing obligations.
• Statement 2 is Correct: The framework includes a 20% rule, where part of vaccine production is reserved (10% free, 10% at affordable prices) for global distribution.
• Statement 3 is Incorrect: PABS applies to both physical samples and genetic sequence data (GSD), closing the digital loophole in pathogen sharing.Incorrect
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Incorrect: PABS is based on a quid pro quo system, where pathogen sharing is linked with legally binding benefit-sharing obligations.
