Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the River Basin Management (RBM) Scheme, consider the following statements:
- It is a centrally sponsored scheme implemented by State Governments.
- It follows the principle of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).
- It provides technical support to interstate river water dispute tribunals.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Incorrect: RBM is a central sector scheme, not centrally sponsored. It is implemented by the Central Water Commission under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, meaning full funding and control lie with the Centre.
• Statement 2 is Correct: The scheme is based on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), which promotes coordinated management of water, land, and resources to balance development and sustainability.
• Statement 3 is Correct: RBM provides verified hydrological data and technical inputs to interstate river water dispute tribunals, improving decision-making and conflict resolution.Incorrect
Answer: (a)

• Statement 3 is Correct: RBM provides verified hydrological data and technical inputs to interstate river water dispute tribunals, improving decision-making and conflict resolution. -
Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) reforms, consider the following statements:
- When the source of biological resources is identifiable, a majority share of ABS funds goes to local communities.
- In unidentifiable sources, 100% funds are allocated to the NBA.
- Digitization of biological samples aims to prevent biopiracy.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: When the source is identifiable, 60–75% of ABS funds go directly to local communities, ensuring fair benefit sharing and grassroots development.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: In unidentifiable cases, funds are split 70:30 (NBA/SBBs : institutions), not entirely to the NBA. This ensures conservation funding and institutional support.
• Statement 3 is Correct: Digitization creates “digital birth certificates” for biological samples, ensuring traceability and preventing biopiracy and misuse of genetic resources.Incorrect
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: When the source is identifiable, 60–75% of ABS funds go directly to local communities, ensuring fair benefit sharing and grassroots development.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to sea-land breeze and climate change, consider the following statements:
- Sea breeze occurs due to differential heating between land and sea during daytime.
- Global warming increases the temperature difference between land and sea.
- Weakening of sea breeze can affect coastal city habitability.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: During daytime, land heats faster than the sea, creating low pressure over land, which draws cooler air from the sea—this is the sea breeze mechanism.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: Global warming reduces the temperature contrast because oceans are warming faster, leading to a smaller thermal gradient, not larger.
• Statement 3 is Correct: Weakening sea breeze reduces natural cooling and ventilation in coastal cities, affecting heat stress, air quality, and overall urban habitability.Incorrect
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: During daytime, land heats faster than the sea, creating low pressure over land, which draws cooler air from the sea—this is the sea breeze mechanism.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: Global warming reduces the temperature contrast because oceans are warming faster, leading to a smaller thermal gradient, not larger.
• Statement 3 is Correct: Weakening sea breeze reduces natural cooling and ventilation in coastal cities, affecting heat stress, air quality, and overall urban habitability. -
Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWith reference to India’s first water-neutral railway depot, consider the following statements:
- It relies entirely on desalination of seawater for operations.
- It uses phytoremediation for wastewater treatment.
- It significantly reduces freshwater dependency through recycling.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Incorrect: The depot does not use desalination; instead, it relies on wastewater recycling and reuse, making operations sustainable.
• Statement 2 is Correct: It uses phytoremediation, where plants naturally absorb pollutants, providing an eco-friendly water treatment solution.
• Statement 3 is Correct: The system ensures minimal freshwater use by recycling nearly all operational water, saving large volumes annually and promoting sustainability.Incorrect
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Incorrect: The depot does not use desalination; instead, it relies on wastewater recycling and reuse, making operations sustainable.
• Statement 2 is Correct: It uses phytoremediation, where plants naturally absorb pollutants, providing an eco-friendly water treatment solution.
• Statement 3 is Correct: The system ensures minimal freshwater use by recycling nearly all operational water, saving large volumes annually and promoting sustainability. -
Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Gene Drive Technology, consider the following statements:
- Gene drives ensure inheritance of modified genes in more than 90% of offspring.
- It uses CRISPR-Cas9 technology to alter genetic transmission.
- Gene drives can only suppress mosquito populations and cannot modify them.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: Gene drives bias inheritance so that modified genes are passed to >90% of offspring, allowing rapid spread through populations.
• Statement 2 is Correct: It uses CRISPR-Cas9, where DNA is cut and repaired using the modified gene template, ensuring duplication of the desired gene.
• Statement 3 is Incorrect: Gene drives can both suppress populations (sterility) and modify them (block malaria transmission), making them versatile tools.Incorrect
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: Gene drives bias inheritance so that modified genes are passed to >90% of offspring, allowing rapid spread through populations.
• Statement 2 is Correct: It uses CRISPR-Cas9, where DNA is cut and repaired using the modified gene template, ensuring duplication of the desired gene.
• Statement 3 is Incorrect: Gene drives can both suppress populations (sterility) and modify them (block malaria transmission), making them versatile tools.
