1. Question
1 pointsMatch List-I with List-II and choose the correct answer using the codes given below:
List-I (Scheme/Initiative) List-II (Key Feature/Objective)
A. DAJGUA 1. Focused campaign to saturate government welfare delivery in tribal villages
B. SEEDS Initiative 2. Supply of critical equipment to support SMEs in partner countries
C. RCS–UDAN 3. Regional air connectivity to underserved and unserved airports
D. NABH Nirman 4. Modernization of airport infrastructure under Ministry of Civil AviationCorrect
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
• A → 1: DhartiAabaJanjatiya Gram UtkarshAbhiyaan (DAJGUA) aims to saturate tribal villages with essential services and ensure last-mile delivery of 25 welfare interventions. It involves 17 ministries and supports Forest Rights Act implementation via FRA cells.
• B → 2: SEEDS (Supply of Equipment for Efficient Development of SMEs) is part of India’s development diplomacy and sends machinery (e.g. passion fruit processing units to Suriname) to empower small-scale industries in Global South nations.
• C → 3: RCS–UDAN connects underserved airports with capped airfares to make flying accessible to the common man, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 towns.
• D → 4: NABH Nirman is anMoCA initiative to modernize airport infrastructure, aiming to increase passenger handling capacity and efficiency.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Portulacabharat, a newly discovered plant species:
- It is endemic to the Western Ghats region.
- The plant belongs to a genus known for thriving in arid and semi-arid conditions.
- It has been provisionally classified as Critically Endangered under the IUCN Red List.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 – Incorrect: Portulacabharat is found exclusively in the Galtaji Hills of the Aravalli Range in Rajasthan, not the Western Ghats, making it locally endemic to the Aravalli ecosystem, which is semi-arid and rocky — ideal for succulents.
- Statement 2 – Correct: The genus Portulaca is known for its succulent properties that allow it to survive in extreme conditions, such as low rainfall and high temperatures. These plants have water-storage tissues, making them well-adapted to arid and semi-arid regions, including deserts and rocky outcrops.
- Statement 3 – Incorrect: As only 10 individuals of Portulacabharat have been found and no wider population assessment has yet been done, it has been provisionally classified as “Data Deficient” by the IUCN. This means there is insufficient information to assess its risk of extinction.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Gharials (Gavialisgangeticus), consider the following statements:
- Gharials exhibit parental care by carrying hatchlings in their mouths.
- India hosts more than 75% of the world’s wild gharial population.
- The species is listed under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 – Incorrect: While gharials provide parental care by guarding hatchlings, they cannot carry them in their mouths due to their long, narrow snout, unlike crocodiles and muggers. This makes them physiologically incapable of that particular behavior.
- Statement 2 – Correct: India holds around 80% of the global wild gharial population, making it the most important country for their conservation. The National Chambal Sanctuary in MP/UP/Rajasthan is the primary stronghold.
Statement 3 – Correct: Gharials are listed under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, offering them the highest legal protection, equivalent to tigers and elephants. They are also listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to rapid population decline.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about DNA Analysis in Disaster Victim Identification (DVI):
Statement I: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is more useful than nuclear DNA in cases where the sample is degraded or old.
Statement II: STR (Short Tandem Repeat) analysis requires well-preserved nuclear DNA and is highly accurate for family identification.
Statement III: Y-chromosome analysis can identify female victims by matching DNA with their maternal relatives.Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
- Statement I is correct:
mtDNA is maternally inherited and is found in many copies per cell.
It is more stable and survives longer than nuclear DNA in degraded or ancient samples. - Statement II is correct:
STR analysis is the gold standard for DNA matching.
It analyzes repeat sequences in nuclear DNA, which must be intact and well-preserved for effective identification. - Statement III is incorrect:
Y-chromosome analysis is male-specific. It cannot be used for female victims, as they do not have a Y chromosome.
It helps match male victims to paternal lineage relatives (father, brother, paternal uncle).
