Which of the following is a bird?
Correct
Ans: C
Exp:
Recently, there has been growing interest in the captivating Himalayan magpies, with researchers delving further into their habitats and behaviors.
Option C is correct: Magpies belong to the Corvidae family of birds, which includes crows, jays, and ravens.
Corvids are generally considered to be noisy, inquisitive birds that are often associated with omens, both good and bad, in folklore from around the world.
Bombay duck is actually a fish native to the waters in and around Mumbai.
The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a species of trout native to cold-water tributaries of the PacificOcean in Asia and North America.
The black carp or Chinese black roach is a species of cyprinid freshwater fish and the sole extant species of the genus Mylopharyngodon.

With reference toEnvironmental DNA (eDNA), consider the following statements:
eDNA is mitochondrial DNA that is released from an organism into the environment.
Shed skin and hair are considered as the sources of eDNA.
eDNA can be used for early detection of aquatic invasive species.
Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Recently, CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) scientists have found out that the invasive armoured sailfin catfish has spread to 60% in the water bodies of Eastern Ghats through eDNA technology.
Statement 1 and 2 are correct: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is nuclear or mitochondrial DNA that is released from an organism into the environment.
Sources of eDNA: Include secreted feces, mucous, and gametes; shed skin and hair; and carcasses. eDNA can be detected in cellular or extracellular (dissolved DNA) form.
Statement 3 is correct: eDNA may also be an effective tool for early detection of aquatic invasive species.
Application of eDNA methods for invasive species monitoring may include periodically collecting water samples and screening them for several invasive species at once.
Detection of species using eDNA may improve biodiversity assessments and provide information about status, distribution, and habitat requirements for lesser-known species.

With reference to sugarcane pricing policy in India, consider the following statements:
The Fair and remunerative price (FRP) of sugarcane is announced by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.
Recovery of sugar from sugarcane is one of the factors considered for fixing the FRP of sugarcane.
The State Advised Price of sugarcane is determined by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) in consultation with the state governments.
How many of the above statements is/ are correct?
Correct
Ans: B
Exp:
Recently, US and Australia have brought attention to India’s alleged violation of subsidy limits set by the WTO’s Agreement on Agriculture (AoA), suggesting that such practices could distort global trade dynamics.
Statement 1 is correct: The FRP announced by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) is decided on the basis of the recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) in consultation with the State Governments and after taking feedback from associations of the sugar industry.
Statement 2 is correct: The amended provisions of the Sugarcane (Control) Order, 1966 provides for fixation of FRP of sugarcane having regard to the following factors:-
Cost of production of sugarcane
Return to the growers from alternative crops and the general trend of prices of agricultural commodities
Availability of sugar to consumers at a fair price
Price at which sugar produced from sugarcane is sold by sugar producers
Recovery of sugar from sugarcane.
Statement 3 is incorrect: According to the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), some states declare state-specific sugarcane prices called State Advised Prices (SAP), which are as much a result of “differences in cost of production, productivity levels” as also “a result of pressure from farmers’ groups”.
SAP is announced by the states and there is no involvement of CACP.

Consider the following:
Urban Planning
Water management
Disaster Management
Mineral Exploration
How many of the above options are applications of Geographical Information System?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Recently, the Centre plans to complete the GIS mapping of all national highways, including marking the jurisdictions of all state-owned developers, for better planning, execution and monitoring of the road network
Option D is correct: Geographical Information System:GIS is a system designed to collect, organize, visualize, and interpret geographic data for specific Earth locations. It layers this data to produce spatial analyses, maps, or 3D visuals. By revealing data insights like patterns and relationships, GIS aids in informed decision-making.
Applications of Geographical Information System:
Urban Planning: The urban planners depend on GIS to a great extent to minimize the negative impact on existing historic structures or natural spaces while responsibly accommodating humans. The advanced GIS mapping capabilities help the users to produce high accuracy base-maps for Urban information systems.
Water management: GIS is being used in monitoring of natural and man-made water bodies, managing water supply, modeling sewer systems, and modeling groundwater.
Disaster Management: Disasters are spatial. GIS facilitates decision making by combined analysis of different layers of relevant information. Socio-economic and geo-spatial data helps authorities to rapidly access and visualise critical information to tackle disastrous conditions
Mineral Exploration: Starting from exploration to and production to mine rehabilitation, many mining activities depend on GIS. GIS is used in collecting data in the field, hence making the mapping process easier.
