Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is Incorrect:

The Gambia, a narrow nation along the Gambia River, cuts through Senegal from the Atlantic coast inward, making Senegal surround The Gambia on three sides. This is a unique geographical feature.
Statement 3 – Correct:
Dakar, the capital and largest city of Senegal, is located on the Cape Verde Peninsula, projecting into the Atlantic Ocean, making it one of the westernmost cities of Africa.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement I: Improving soil health is essential not only for agricultural productivity but also for enhancing India’s nutritional security and public health outcomes.
Statement II: Soil nutrient deficiencies, including low organic carbon and micronutrients like zinc and boron, contribute to hidden hunger and poor child development.
Statement III: Soil degradation has no significant impact on food quality or the broader public health profile of a country.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
- Statement I makes the link between soil health and national nutrition security — a key theme in Indian agricultural reform.
- Statement II is correct — widespread micronutrient deficiencies (zinc, iron, boron) in soils lead to low-nutrition crops, which cause stunting and cognitive issues in children. It directly explains the public health importance mentioned in Statement I.
Statement III is incorrect — numerous studies and public health policies recognize the critical role of soil in determining food quality, nutrient intake, and disease burden.
Thus, only Statement II is correct and it explains Statement I.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the PM-VIKAS (PradhanMantriVirasatKaSamvardhan) scheme, consider the following statements:
- It is a centrally sponsored scheme aimed at uplifting tribal communities.
- It integrates multiple earlier schemes such as SeekhoaurKamao and NaiRoshni.
- One of its objectives is to develop “Vishwakarma Villages” for tourism and commerce.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 — Incorrect:
PM-VIKAS is a Central Sector Scheme, meaning it is 100% funded and implemented by the Central Government, unlike Centrally Sponsored Schemes which involve cost-sharing with states.
It targets minority communities, particularly focusing on artisans, craftsmen, and traditional skills. It is not designed specifically for tribal communities, although some tribal members may benefit indirectly if they belong to the minority groups identified. - Statement 2 — Correct:
The scheme integrates and revamps five existing schemes under the Ministry of Minority Affairs:- SeekhoaurKamao (Skill development)
- USTTAD (Upgrading Skills and Training in Traditional Arts/Crafts)
- HamariDharohar (Preservation of heritage)
- NaiManzil (Educational and livelihood development)
- NaiRoshni (Leadership development for minority women)
Statement 3 — Correct:
The scheme envisions “Vishwakarma Villages” as clusters where artisans and craftspeople live and work. These will be developed as tourism and commercial hubs, using a hub-and-spoke model to improve access to markets, credit, training, and technology.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Green Hydrogen production from bio-waste as recently developed at IISc Bengaluru:
- The process is carbon-neutral, meaning it neither adds nor removes carbon dioxide from the environment.
- It involves gasification of biomass followed by water-gas shift reaction and hydrogen purification.
- It aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission targets for clean energy and emission reductions.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 — Incorrect:
The method developed by IISc is carbon-negative, not carbon-neutral. This means it removes more CO₂ from the environment than it emits.
The process involves capturing the CO₂ released during biomass gasification and converting the carbon-rich residues into biochar, which is stored in soil, effectively sequestering carbon. - Statement 2 — Correct:
The process consists of:- Biomass gasification: Converts organic waste into syngas (CO + H₂)
- Water-gas shift reaction: Converts CO into CO₂ and H₂
- Hydrogen purification: Uses advanced membrane or pressure swing adsorption (PSA) methods
- Statement 3 — Correct:
This innovation supports the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) launched in 2023, which aims for:- 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of green hydrogen annually by 2030
- Investment of ₹8 lakh crore
- Creation of 600,000 jobs
125 GW of renewable energy capacity
