Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the Akash Prime missile, consider the following statements:
- It uses an imported radar seeker to enhance tracking and targeting capabilities.
- It is specifically designed to operate effectively in high-altitude conditions.
- It can engage aerial targets up to a range of 60 kilometers.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is Incorrect:
The Akash Prime missile is equipped with an indigenously developed Radio Frequency (RF) seeker. This RF seeker is capable of emitting signals to lock on to aerial targets in the final phase of its flight. This indigenization boosts India’s self-reliance in defense manufacturing, aligning with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. It does not use imported seekers. - Statement 2 is Correct:
Akash Prime has been specifically optimized for high-altitude warfare, like in Ladakh and other Himalayan regions. It has enhanced thermal performance and electronic robustness to function reliably in extremely low temperatures and rarefied air conditions above 4,500 meters. This makes it more capable than its predecessor in border regions. - Statement 3 is Incorrect:
The Akash Prime missile has a strike range of 25 to 30 kilometers, which places it in the medium-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) category. It is not designed for 60 km range—this range is more typical of advanced SAMs like the Barak-8 or MR-SAM.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement I: India aims to increase its nuclear power capacity from 8.18 GW to 100 GW by 2047 to meet clean energy and developmental goals.
Statement II: Legislative barriers like the Atomic Energy Act, 1962, and the CLNDA, 2010, limit private and foreign sector participation in India’s nuclear energy expansion.
Statement III: Nuclear energy is currently classified as a renewable energy source in India, allowing it access to green financing and policy incentives.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer:(c)
Explanation:
- Statement I is correct: The Union Budget 2025–26 targets a 100 GW nuclear capacity by 2047, aligned with Viksit Bharat and Net Zero 2070 goals.
- Statement II is correct: Legislative frameworks — like the Atomic Energy Act (1962) and CLNDA (2010) — restrict private sector and foreign participation, impeding large-scale expansion.
- **Statement III is incorrect: Nuclear energy is not yet classified as a renewable or green energy source in India, limiting its access to green bonds, tax incentives, or climate finance.
Only Statement II explains the hurdles in achieving Statement I by highlighting structural legal constraints.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following pairs:
Missile Type Agni-1 Medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) Prithvi-II Short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) Akash Prime Intercontinental ballistic missile Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Agni-1:
It is a Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP). It has a range of 700 to 900 km, can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, and is operated by the Strategic Forces Command (SFC). - Prithvi-II:
It is a Short-Range Ballistic Missile (SRBM) with a range of around 350 km. It uses liquid-fueled twin engines and was one of the first missiles developed under IGMDP. It has high precision due to its inertial navigation system and maneuverable trajectory.
Akash Prime:
Incorrectly paired here. Akash Prime is a surface-to-air missile (SAM) and not an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). ICBMs have ranges above 5,500 km, which is far beyond Akash Prime’s 30 km range.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following are correct regarding the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA)?
- It is a statutory body under the Ministry of Women & Child Development.
- It was established as part of the Hague Convention in 2003.
- It handles adoption cases under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, and the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015.
Select the correct answer using the code below:
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct:
CARA became a statutory body under Section 68 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. It is the nodal authority for all adoption matters and functions under the Ministry of Women & Child Development. - Statement 2 – Incorrect:
CARA was established as an autonomous body in 1990, much before India ratified the Hague Convention on Inter-country Adoption (1993) in 2003. While CARA implements Hague Convention guidelines, its establishment is independent of the Convention.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) Schemeapproved by the Government of India, which of the following is/are correct?
- It supports high-TRL (Technology Readiness Level) projects.
- It involves a Special Purpose Fund managed directly by NITI Aayog.
- It aims to bridge the R&D funding gap in the private sector.
Select the correct answer using the code below:
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct:
The RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) Scheme is designed to support R&D projects at higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL 6–9) where private investment is often lacking due to risk. These levels are closer to commercialization and mass production. - Statement 2 – Incorrect:
The fund will be managed by a Special Purpose Fund (SPF) housed under the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), not NITI Aayog. NITI Aayog may assist in policy coordination, but is not the custodian of funds.
Statement 3 – Correct:
India’s R&D spending is about 0.7% of GDP, much lower than countries like the US (3.5%) or China (2.4%). This scheme aims to bridge the gap by incentivizing private sector R&D, especially in deep-tech, clean energy, and critical technologies.Incorrect
