Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement I: Women contribute significantly to household food security and rural resilience through
their role in agriculture.
Statement II: Women farmers often preserve indigenous seeds and practice traditional climate-
resilient farming methods.Statement III: Policies like Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana aim to promote gender-equitable
land ownership among women.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
● Statement I is correct: Women play a vital role in ensuring household food security and
strengthening the rural economy. They are directly involved in food production, nutrition, and
resilience of local agricultural systems.
● Statement II is correct: Women farmers often act as custodians of traditional agricultural
knowledge and biodiversity, such as preserving indigenous seeds and promoting climate-
resilient practices. This directly contributes to Statement I, as it explains their contribution
to food security and resilience.
● Statement III is also correct but does not directly explain Statement I.
The Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP) is a government scheme for women
farmers’ skill development and empowerment, but its primary focus is not land ownership.

important, it is not an explanatory basis for women’s current contributions to food security
(Statement I).

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the ‘Index Card System’ recently upgraded by the Election Commission
of India (ECI), consider the following statements:
1. It is a statutory document maintained under the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
2. The system records constituency-level data including vote counts and gender-based voting
patterns.
3. It generates statistical reports for both Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
● Statement 1 – Incorrect:
The Index Card System is not a statutory document. This means it is not legally mandatedunder the Representation of the People Act, 1951 or any other statute. It is maintained by
the Election Commission for archival and analytical purposes, but does not carry legal
enforceability.
● Statement 2 – Correct:
The Index Card serves as a comprehensive constituency-level dataset after each election. It
includes:
o Candidate-wise vote count
o Political party performance
o Gender-based voter trends
o Voting percentage variations
This makes it a crucial non-statutory tool for electoral analysis, academic studies,
and democratic discourse.
● Statement 3 – Correct:
With its latest technological upgrade, the Index Card system can now automatically
generate 35 statistical reports for Lok Sabha elections and 14 for State Assembly
elections, enabling better data visualization and transparency.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Bauxite:
1. Bauxite is primarily used to produce aluminium metal through the Hall–Héroult process.
2. India’s largest bauxite reserves are found in Odisha.
3. The Bayer process is used to refine aluminium metal from bauxite directly.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
● Statement 1 – Correct:
Bauxite is the primary ore of aluminium. The Hall–Héroult process is an electrolytic
process that converts alumina (Al₂O₃)—derived from bauxite—into pure aluminium
metal. It is the final step after refining via the Bayer process.
● Statement 2 – Correct:
Odisha is the leading state in India in terms of bauxite reserves and production. Major
reserves are located in Rayagada, Koraput, and Kalahandi districts, and the area is a site of
environmental activism and conflict due to mining.
● Statement 3 – Incorrect:
The Bayer process does not produce aluminium metal. It refines bauxite into alumina
(aluminium oxide). Aluminium metal is later extracted from alumina using the
Hall–Héroult process. So, this statement is technically incorrect.Incorrect

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) in India, consider the following
statements:
1. It is imposed when the export price of goods is higher than the domestic price in the
importing country.2. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) under the Ministry of Finance
recommends the imposition of ADD.
3. WTO permits the use of anti-dumping duties to ensure fair trade practices.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: A. 3 only
Explanation:
● Statement 1 – Incorrect:
Anti-Dumping Duty is imposed when imported goods are sold at a price lower than their
“normal value” (i.e., the domestic market price in the exporting country). So, if the export
price is lower, dumping is presumed. The statement reverses this logic.
● Statement 2 – Incorrect:
The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) functions under the Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, not the Ministry of Finance.
o DGTR investigates dumping and recommends duties.
o The Ministry of Finance is responsible for levying the actual duty based on
DGTR’s recommendations.● Statement 3 – Correct:
The World Trade Organization (WTO) allows member countries to impose anti-dumping
duties under specific circumstances to protect domestic industries and ensure fair
competition.Incorrect
