Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Russell’s viper:
1. It is responsible for the majority of snakebite deaths in South Asia.
2. It is a forest-dwelling snake that avoids human contact.
3. The venom primarily affects the nervous system.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is correct: Russell’s viper is one of the “Big Four” venomous snakes in India (along with Indian cobra, saw-scaled viper, and common krait). It is a major cause of snakebite-related deaths in India and neighboring South Asian countries due to its widespread presence and potent venom.
• Statement 2 is incorrect: It is commonly found near farmlands, open fields, and near human settlements where rodents (its prey) are abundant. It does not prefer dense forests.
• Statement 3 is incorrect: Unlike kraits or cobras (neurotoxic venom), Russell’s viper venom is hemotoxic and nephrotoxic – it affects blood clotting (coagulation) and damages kidneys, leading to internal bleeding and renal failure.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Vitiligo, consider the following:
- It is contagious and affects mostly people with lighter skin tones.
- The condition is caused due to destruction of melanocytes.
- There is currently no known cure for vitiligo.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect: Vitiligo is neither contagious nor infectious. It affects people across all skin tones, though it is more visible in darker-skinned individuals, making it socially stigmatized.
- Statement 2 is correct: The immune system destroys melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells responsible for skin, hair, and eye color. This leads to white patches on the skin.
Statement 3 is correct: There is no permanent cure for vitiligo. Treatments like corticosteroids, phototherapy, or skin grafting may help repigmentation, but they do not prevent recurrence.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about Special Economic Zones (SEZs):
Statement I: SEZs are treated as foreign territory for the purposes of trade and customs.
Statement II: The 2024 amendment allows electronics SEZs to be established on a minimum of 50 hectares of land.
Statement III: The SEZ Act, 2005 was preceded by the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) model in India.Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
- Statement I is correct:
SEZs are deemed foreign territory for customs, taxation, and trade. This allows duty-free import/export and 100% FDI in manufacturing. - Statement II is incorrect:
In 2024, the government reduced the minimum land requirement for semiconductor and electronics SEZs from 50 hectares to 10 hectares to promote chip manufacturing.
Statement III is correct:
Before SEZs, India had Export Processing Zones (EPZs) — the first one was set up in Kandla in 1965.
The SEZ Policy was announced in 2000, and the SEZ Act was enacted in 2005.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsThe Quantum Communication system is considered highly secure because:
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Quantum communication uses quantum entanglement and superposition – principles from quantum physics – for transferring data.
- The Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) mechanism allows two parties to share encryption keys in such a way that any interception attempt changes the quantum state, alerting both parties.
This makes the system intrinsically secure against hacking, unlike classical cryptography, which can be broken using powerful computers.
