Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to diamond mining and trade:
- The Golconda region, historically known for diamond mining and trading, is located in present-day Karnataka.
- Diamonds in nature are found only in ultrabasic igneous rocks and not in alluvial deposits derived from primary sources.
- Russia is the world’s leading producer of natural diamonds.
- The Kimberley Process that regulates international trade in rough diamonds is headquartered under the United Nations framework.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: The Golconda region is in Telangana, India, and was a major diamond trading hub historically.
- Statement 2 is not correct: Diamonds occur majorly in two types of deposits, primarily in igneous rocks of basic or ultrabasic composition and in alluvial deposits derived from the primary sources.
- Statement 3 is correct: Russia, in northern Eurasia, is the largest producer of natural diamonds globally.
- Statement 4 is not correct: The Kimberley Process regulates trade in rough diamonds, but it does not have a permanent headquarters, even though it works in collaboration with the United Nations.
- The Kimberley Process (KP) is a global initiative to prevent the flow of conflict diamonds and promote ethical diamonds by protecting legitimate trade in rough diamonds. The KP works in partnership with the United Nations to prevent conflict diamonds from entering the legal market.
- The Kimberley Process is an international certification scheme that regulates trade in rough diamonds. The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) outlines the rules that govern the trade in rough diamonds. The KPCS has developed a set of minimum requirements that each participant must meet.
- KP has no permanent offices or permanent staff. Neither can the KP be considered as an international agreement from a legal perspective, as it is implemented through the national legislations of its participants.
States and regional economic integration organisations that are eligible to trade in rough diamonds are participants of the KP. Presently, there are 60 participants representing 86 countries, with the European Union counted as a single participant. The participants include all major rough diamond producing, exporting and importing countries.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements :
Statement-I: Wet-bulb temperature is a more reliable indicator of heat stress risk than the heat index in global climate studies.
Statement-II: Wet-bulb temperature directly measures how effectively the human body can cool itself through sweating in hot and humid conditions.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Option A is correct: Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II explains Statement-I. Heat index requires calibration, it’s a somewhat subjective measurement. In fact, different countries use different versions of it. For this reason, scientists conducting global climate studies are looking increasingly at another measure of heat stress called wet-bulb temperature.
- Wet-bulb temperature measures how well our bodies cool down by sweating when it’s hot and humid, and tells us if conditions may be harmful to our health, or even deadly.
Unlike regular air temperature readings, wet-bulb measurements reflect the body’s cooling capacity in humid conditions—when the wet-bulb temperature reaches the same level as human skin temperature, sweat evaporation becomes impossible, preventing the body’s primary cooling mechanism from working.
