How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Ans: A
Exp:
Recently, the Union Government has notified the Inter-Services Organisations (ISOs) (Command, Control, and Discipline) Act through a Gazette notification.
Key Provisions of the Act:
The Act seeks to empower the central government to set up an inter-services organization by notification.
This can include a joint services command — comprising units and personnel drawn from the three armed forces and persons of other forces attached to such a body. The commander-in-chief or the officer-in-command will be the head.
The Act empowers the Commander-in-Chief/ Officer-in-Command of an Inter-services Organisation to exercise command and control over the personnel serving in or attached to it.
Statement 1 is incorrect: The superintendence of an Inter-services Organisation will be vested in the central government.
The government may also issue directions to such organizations on grounds of national security, general administration, or public interest.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The Act is essentially an Enabling Act and it does not propose any change in the existing Service Acts/Rules/Regulations.
Service personnel when serving in or attached to an Inter-Services Organisation will continue to be governed by their respective Service Acts.
Statement 3 is correct: The Act empowers the Commander-in-Chief/ Officer-in-Command of an Inter-services Organisation to exercise command and control over the personnel serving in or attached to it.
The Commanding Officer will be empowered to initiate all disciplinary or administrative actions over the personnel appointed, deputed, posted, or attached to that Inter-services Organisation.

The Subansiri River flows through the Sonai Rupai Wildlife sanctuary.
One-Horned Rhinoceros and White Winged Wood Duck are found in this Wildlife sanctuary.
How many of the above statements are incorrect?
Correct
Ans: B
Exp:
Recently, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) asked Assam’s Chief Secretary to provide details of officers who allowed polling stations, schools, and other construction activities in Sonai Rupai Wildlife Sanctuary.
Statement 1 is incorrect: It is a protected area located in the north-western area of Sonitpur district of Assam. It is located along the foothills of the Great Himalayan Range.
The sanctuary spreads all the way along the foothills of the Great Himalayan range.

Consider the following:
Image Recognition
Driving Autonomous Vehicles
Medical Imaging
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
How many of the above applications are performed by the Neural Processing Unit?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Recently Apple debuted the M4 chip with the iPad Pro . M4 is the 16-core Neural Engine, which is Apple’s term for Neural Processing Unit (NPU).
Option D is correct: Neural Processing Unit (NPU): An NPU is a specialized hardware component designed specifically for accelerating neural network processes.
Neural networks, inspired by the human brain, are the backbone of many AI-related tasks.
NPUs excel at executing the complex computations involved in neural network operations.
NPU Applications:
Image Recognition: NPUs excel in tasks like object detection, classification, and segmentation in images and videos.
Natural Language Processing (NLP): NPUs are used for tasks such as language translation, sentiment analysis, and text summarization.
Autonomous Vehicles: NPUs play a crucial role in enabling real-time perception and decision-making capabilities in autonomous vehicles.
Medical Imaging: NPUs accelerate medical image analysis tasks, aiding in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning.

Which one of the following is the context in which the term “Avalanche effect” is mentioned in the news?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Option D is correct: In cryptography, the avalanche effect describes a significant change to the output as a result of even a small change applied to the input of a function.
It is a desirable quality of a cryptographic algorithm, particularly hash functions. It makes brute-force attacks on encryption algorithms much more difficult.
Cryptography is associated with the process of converting ordinary plain text into unintelligible text and vice-versa.
It is a method of storing and transmitting data in a particular form so that only those for whom it is intended can read and process it.
Cryptography not only protects data from theft or alteration, but can also be used for user authentication.
