Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding the Sheesh Mahal in Delhi:
- It was built by Aurangzeb as a coronation pavilion.
- It is located within the Shalimar Bagh complex in Delhi.
- It reflects Persian architectural influence and uses red sandstone and mirror inlays.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect: The Sheesh Mahal was not built by Aurangzeb. It was built by Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor known for commissioning the TajMahal. The pavilion was constructed around 1653 in memory of Aizzun-Nisha Begum (Akbarabadi Begum). Aurangzeb is historically linked to the site because he crowned himself emperor there in 1658, but he did not build it.
- Statement 2 is correct: The Sheesh Mahal is located within the Shalimar Bagh complex in Delhi, a garden designed in charbagh (four-part garden) style reflecting Mughal garden aesthetics.
Statement 3 is correct: The structure represents classic Mughal architecture with Persian influences, evident in the use of red sandstone, white marble, mirror inlays (sheesha), ornamental stucco work, and arched ceilings designed to reflect and amplify natural light.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), recently seen in space research, are significant because:
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
- PAHs are complex hydrocarbons made of multiple aromatic rings.
- They are found in space dust and molecular clouds like Taurus Molecular Cloud 1 (TMC1).
- Their survival after absorbing high-energy UV light suggests resilience in space, supporting theories of organic molecules contributing to prebiotic chemistry on early Earth.
Their abundance (20% of cosmic carbon) makes them key players in astrochemistry and origin-of-life research.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the BHARAT initiative by IISc, consider the following statements:
- It aims to create a Western-centric biomarker database for ageing-related research in India.
- The study will employ AI and machine learning for analysing complex health data.
- It focuses on India-specific indicators including genomic, proteomic, and lifestyle markers.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect: The BHARAT study (Biomarkers of Healthy Aging, Resilience, Adversity, and Transitions), launched by IISc Bengaluru, is intended to fill the diagnostic gap caused by Western-centric benchmarks, not to reinforce them. It aims to create an Indian-specific database to improve diagnosis and treatment related to ageing in Indian populations.
- Statement 2 is correct: The study uses AI and machine learning tools to analyse large and complex biological and environmental datasets across genomics, proteomics, and lifestyle factors. These technologies help in pattern recognition and predictive modeling.
Statement 3 is correct: BHARAT focuses on India-specific biomarkers across multiple domains — genetic mutations, protein/metabolic markers (like cholesterol and CRP), and lifestyle/environmental factors. These markers are crucial for early disease detection, personalized medicine, and healthy ageing.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding the new Garcinia species found in Assam:
- Garciniakusumae is a newly identified monoecious tree.
- It has traditional medicinal uses and is consumed in various local food preparations.
- The species belongs to a genus known for its tropical forest diversity and pharmacological value.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect: Garciniakusumae is a dioecious tree, meaning male and female flowers are borne on separate trees. This reproductive feature is important for biodiversity and fruiting cycles.
- Statement 2 is correct: The fruit is traditionally used to prepare sherbets with salt and sugar to prevent heat stroke, and is used in Assamese cuisine, particularly in fish curries. It is also believed to have medicinal uses for diabetes and dysentery.
Statement 3 is correct: The Garcinia genus, with over 400 species globally, is recognized for its phytochemical diversity, especially xanthones and flavonoids, and is often used in folk medicine and nutraceuticals. Assam alone hosts 12 species and 3 varieties, indicating high biodiversity.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsDynamic pricing, as permitted under the Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines 2025, allows which of the following?
- Charging up to double the base fare during peak demand.
- Charging below the government-fixed minimum base fare at all times.
- States are responsible for setting the base fare for different categories.
Select the correct answer using the code below:
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Under the Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines (MVAG), 2025, dynamic pricing is permitted with upper limit set at 2 times the base fare — this allows surge pricing during periods of high demand (e.g., rush hour, rain, festivals).
- Statement 2 is incorrect: Aggregators are allowed to reduce prices up to 50% below the base fare, but not beyond that. So the pricing range is 0.5x to 2x of the state-fixed base fare.
Statement 3 is correct: State governments have the authority to set the base fare for various categories of vehicles (e.g., car, auto, bike-taxi). This aligns with the federal structure and allows states to account for local cost variations.
