Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsCoral reefs provide which of the following ecosystem services?
1. Protection against coastal erosion
2. Source of new medicines
3. Regulation of atmospheric oxygen
4. Support for marine biodiversity
Select the correct answer using the code below:Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
• Statement 1 – Correct: Coral reefs can absorb 97% of wave energy, acting as natural barriers against coastal erosion and storm surges.
• Statement 2 – Correct: Coral reefs are a source of bioactive compounds, some used in treatments for HIV, cancer, and inflammatory diseases.
• Statement 3 – Incorrect: While coral reefs aid in marine oxygen production through symbiotic algae, they do not regulate atmospheric oxygen significantly. That role is majorly played by phytoplankton and terrestrial plants.
• Statement 4 – Correct: Coral reefs support over 25% of marine biodiversity, despite covering less than 0.1% of the ocean floor.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsThe Asian Development Bank (ADB) recently revised India’s GDP growth forecast for FY26. Which of the following are stated reasons for this revision?
- Lower agricultural output due to weak monsoon
- Global trade tensions and US tariffs
- Domestic policy uncertainty
- Rise in energy prices due to war in West Asia
Select the correct answer using the code below:
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 – Incorrect: A normal monsoon was reported, which supports agricultural output and rural demand. So, agricultural concerns were not a factor in the lowered forecast.
- Statement 2 – Correct: The ADB cited US tariffs and trade tensions as key global challenges affecting investment and exports.
- Statement 3 – Correct: Domestic policy uncertainty was mentioned as a factor leading to cautious investor behavior and delayed decision-making.
Statement 4 – Incorrect: The report did not mention energy price shocks or war impacts; such concerns may exist globally but weren’t central to ADB’s India forecast revision.
Incorrect
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 – Incorrect: A normal monsoon was reported, which supports agricultural output and rural demand. So, agricultural concerns were not a factor in the lowered forecast.
- Statement 2 – Correct: The ADB cited US tariffs and trade tensions as key global challenges affecting investment and exports.
- Statement 3 – Correct: Domestic policy uncertainty was mentioned as a factor leading to cautious investor behavior and delayed decision-making.
Statement 4 – Incorrect: The report did not mention energy price shocks or war impacts; such concerns may exist globally but weren’t central to ADB’s India forecast revision.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) under the POSH Act, 2013, consider the following statements:
- The ICC must be chaired by a senior male employee for neutrality.
- An external member from an NGO or legal background is mandatory in the ICC.
- The ICC has powers similar to a civil court under the Code of Civil Procedure.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 – Incorrect: The POSH Act, 2013 mandates that the Presiding Officer must be a senior woman employee. This is to ensure a supportive environment for women complainants and address the gender power imbalance that often accompanies workplace harassment cases.
- Statement 2 – Correct: The Act requires the inclusion of an external member, typically from a non-governmental organisation (NGO) or someone with legal knowledge. This provision is critical for maintaining independence and neutrality of the ICC, preventing internal bias.
Statement 3 – Correct: The ICC possesses quasi-judicial powers, such as summoning individuals, requiring production of documents, and conducting inquiries akin to civil courts under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. These powers are essential for ensuring that complaints are handled with seriousness and fairness.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsIn the context of Altermagnets, consider the following statements:
- Altermagnets exhibit zero net magnetization like antiferromagnets.
- They show spin polarization in both real and momentum space.
- They are unsuitable for spintronics because they lack external magnetic fields.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 – Correct: Altermagnets exhibit zero net magnetization, like antiferromagnets, meaning their opposing magnetic moments cancel each other out. However, their internal symmetry-breaking properties give them unique behaviors not seen in traditional magnets.
- Statement 2 – Correct: They display spin polarization in both real space (due to atomic arrangement) and momentum space (related to electron movement), enabling advanced applications in spin caloritronics and data storage.
- Statement 3 – Incorrect: Although they lack external magnetism, altermagnets are ideal for spintronics, as they allow non-relativistic spin splitting without generating external magnetic noise—an advantage over ferromagnets in nanoelectronics.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the National Cooperative Policy 2025, which of the following are its key goals by 2034?
- Establish at least one cooperative society in every panchayat.
- Triple the contribution of cooperatives to India’s GDP.
- Engage 50 crore citizens in cooperative activities.
Select the correct answer using the code below:
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 – Incorrect: The policy aims to create **at least one cooperative society in every village, not just at the panchayat level. This reflects a more granular, grassroots-level expansion.
- Statement 2 – Correct: A major objective is to triple the sector’s GDP contribution, recognizing the economic potential of cooperatives beyond traditional areas like sugar and dairy.
- Statement 3 – Correct: The policy envisions engaging 50 crore people through cooperatives, showing an ambition to mobilize half of India’s population in cooperative-based livelihoods and services.
