Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement I: Despite a decline in the total number of juveniles apprehended in India, the proportion of those involved in violent crimes has increased significantly in recent years.
Statement II: Easy access to weapons and online glorification of crime are major factors contributing to the increase in violent crimes committed by juveniles.
Statement III: Delhi reported the highest share of violent juvenile crimes among all States due to its dense urban population and weak juvenile justice enforcement.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
- Statement I is correct: The total number of juveniles in conflict with the law declined from 37,402 in 2017 to 33,261 in 2022. However, the share of violent crimes increased from 32.5% in 2016 to 49.5% in 2022.
- Statement II is correct and it explains Statement I: Easy availability of weapons like “dragon knives”, online platforms glorifying crime (e.g., bike theft videos on Instagram), and gang culture are driving juveniles toward violent offenses, making it a key explanatory factor for the trend in Statement I.
- Statement III is incorrect: While Delhi accounts for 6.8% of total violent juvenile crimes, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra lead in total numbers, and Jharkhand has the highest share (67%) of violent crimes among all juvenile crimes. Delhi’s numbers are high relative to its size, likely due to better reporting, not necessarily weak enforcement or the highest share.
Therefore, Only Statement II is correct and it explains Statement I.

- Measles is caused by a double-stranded RNA virus.
- It spreads through coughs, sneezes, and direct contact with secretions.
- The Measles-Rubella Elimination Campaign 2025–26 follows the ACT NOW strategy to eradicate Measles and Rubella.
- The first effective vaccine for Measles was introduced in 2005 under WHO’s Global Immunization Initiative.

- Statement 2 – Correct: Measles spreads through aerosol transmission via respiratory droplets (coughs and sneezes) and through direct contact with nasal or oral secretions of infected individuals. It can remain in the air for up to 2 hours, making it extremely infectious.
- Statement 3 – Correct: India launched the Measles-Rubella Elimination Campaign 2025–26 under the “ACT NOW” strategy, modeled after successful polio eradication programs. The campaign aims for 100% immunisation in children, using two doses of the MR vaccine under the Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP).
- Statement 4 – Incorrect: The first effective measles vaccine was developed in 1963, not 2005. This vaccine drastically reduced global measles-related deaths and infections. WHO’s expanded immunization efforts were built on this early vaccine’s success.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to poverty trends in India, consider the following statements:
- According to the World Bank, extreme poverty in India declined from 16.2% in 2011-12 to 2.3% in 2022-23.
- Urban poverty fell more sharply than rural poverty in the same period.
- The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) takes into account income, inflation, and GDP growth.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct

- Statement 2 – Correct: Urban poverty saw a greater percentage decline — from 10.7% to 1.1%, while rural poverty reduced from 18.4% to 2.8%, showing faster improvement in urban areas, likely due to better infrastructure, service delivery, and job availability.
- Statement 3 – Incorrect: The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is based on non-income dimensions — it measures poverty using three dimensions: health (nutrition, child mortality), education (years of schooling, school attendance), and standard of living (cooking fuel, sanitation, electricity, housing, assets, etc.). It does not use income, inflation, or GDP.
