Correct
Answer: A
Exp:
Experiments similar to LZ — such as XENON-nT in Italy, PandaX-4T in China, and dozens of others around the world — have been turning up empty-handed for decades now despite heroic efforts.
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a highly sensitive experiment to detect dark matter in the universe. Option (a) is correct.
Dark matter is made up of particles that do not have a charge — which means they do not interact through electromagnetic interactions.
Characteristics: These are particles that are “dark”, namely because they do not emit light, which is an electromagnetic phenomenon, and “matter” because they possess mass like normal matter and hence interact through gravity.

Answer: D
Exp:

National Health Accounts estimates:
Released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for 2021-22.
Statement I is incorrect. The per capita health expenditure has nearly doubled from Rs 1,753 to Rs 3,169 from 2017-18 to 2021-22.
As a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP), government health expenditure rose marginally from 1.35 per cent in 2017-18 to 1.84 per cent in 2021-22.
The rise comes in line with the government’s target of raising health expenditure to 2.5 percent of GDP by 2025.
Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY):
Statement II is correct: Centrally Sponsored Scheme launched in 2018 under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
National Health Protection Mission (AB-PMJAY):
It provides a defined benefit cover of Rs. 5 lakh per family per year.
This cover will take care of almost all secondary care and most of tertiary care procedures.
To ensure that nobody is left out (especially women, children and elderly) there will be no cap on family size and age in the scheme.
The benefit cover will include pre and post-hospitalisation expenses.
Hence, Statement-I is incorrect, but Statement-II is correct.
