Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement I: India’s Constitution does not designate any language as a “national language” in order to preserve the country’s linguistic pluralism.
Statement II: Article 343 declares Hindi in the Devanagari script as the national language of India, while Article 345 allows States to adopt any language of their choice.
Statement III: The absence of a national language ensures protection of regional linguistic identities and upholds India’s federal ethos.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
• Statement I is correct: The Indian Constitution deliberately avoids declaring a national language to prevent linguistic dominance and ensure inclusivity, reflecting India’s multilingual fabric.
• Statement II is incorrect: Article 343 declares Hindi (in Devanagari script) as the official language of the Union — not the national language. India does not have a national language. Article 345 empowers States to adopt their own official languages, affirming federal autonomy.
• Statement III is correct: The absence of a national language has allowed India to safeguard regional linguistic identities, enabling States to function in their own languages and respecting the federal principle of cultural autonomy.
Therefore:
• Only Statement III is correct and it explains Statement I.
• Statement II is factually wrong.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statements correctly describes the GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is an incretin hormone naturally released by the gut after food intake. It stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, and slows gastric emptying, contributing to reduced appetite and weight loss.
- GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)mimic this hormone, providing both diabetes and obesity management
- Option A is incorrect: These drugs do not replace insulin; they stimulate the pancreas to release insulin when glucose levels are high.
- Option B is incorrect: GLP-1 agonists inhibit glucagon, not stimulate it.
Option D is incorrect: They are not antibiotics and do not act on gut microbes directly.
Incorrect
Answer: C
Explanation:
- GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is an incretin hormone naturally released by the gut after food intake. It stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, and slows gastric emptying, contributing to reduced appetite and weight loss.
- GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)mimic this hormone, providing both diabetes and obesity management

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsIn the context of locust infestation control, what is the significance of the molecule 4-vinylanisole (4VA)?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
- 4-vinylanisole (4VA) is a volatile pheromone released by juvenile locusts, discovered by Chinese scientists. It serves as a group aggregation signal that attracts other solitary locusts, initiating the swarming phase.
- The recent discovery of molecules that block 4VA receptors offers a targeted and eco-friendly solution to disrupt locust swarms before they form.
- Option A is incorrect: 4VA is not a pesticide; traditional organophosphates are used in chemical spraying.
- Option B is incorrect: It has no role in breeding; breeding is governed more by environmental factors like rain and soil moisture.
Option C is incorrect: It is not a hormone affecting metamorphosis.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to the Women’s Labour Force Participation in Urban Areas:
Statement I: Despite increasing education levels, urban women in India continue to face low formal employment opportunities.
Statement II: The urban Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) remains around 25%, indicating structural and societal barriers.
Statement III: Rising rural FLFPR is largely due to distress employment and does not reflect equitable growth.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
- Statement I is correct: Urban women in India face a paradox—high education, but low job absorption—due to industry practices, safety concerns, and lack of family support.
- Statement II is correct: According to PLFS 2023–24, urban FLFPR is just 4%, showing systemic exclusion in formal, secure jobs. This explains the disconnection between education and employment.
- Statement III is also correct: The 6% rural FLFPR often reflects distress-driven work (e.g., unpaid family labor), not empowerment. This comparison highlights the depth of urban employment issues.
Together, both II (evidence) and III (contrast) explain Statement I.
Hence, option (a) is correct.Incorrect
