1.
Consider the following statements regarding Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology:
- The primary goal of CCS is to capture carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) emissions from power plants and industrial sources before they enter the atmosphere.
- Captured COâ‚‚ is typically stored in deep ocean trenches to prevent its release.
- The claimed capture efficiency of most CCS systems is 90–95%, but actual performance tends to be significantly lower.
- Overdependence on CCS could slow the transition to renewable energy sources.
Which of the above statements are correct?
2.
Assertion (A): Asia’s increasing reliance on carbon capture and storage (CCS) could add nearly 25 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases by 2050. Reason (R): Most CCS projects fail to capture CO₂ at the expected efficiency levels, resulting in continued emissions and fossil fuel dependency.
3.
Consider the following statements regarding Typhoon Matmo (2025):
- Typhoon Matmo made landfall in Guangdong Province in southern China.
- The storm carried sustained winds comparable to a Category 2 hurricane in the Atlantic.
- After landfall, it strengthened further as it moved inland towards Guangxi Province.
- The typhoon led to the evacuation of over 1.5 lakh (151,000) residents.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
4.
Assertion (A): The transportation network in southern China suffered extensive disruption due to Typhoon Matmo. Reason (R): Heavy rainfall and flooding caused damage to roads, railways, and power infrastructure.
5.
Consider the following statements regarding the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics:
- The prize was awarded for experiments demonstrating quantum mechanical properties on a macroscopic scale.
- The 2025 laureates include Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and John Martinis.
- The experiments were primarily conducted using superconducting electronic circuits.
- This work opened avenues for quantum computing, cryptography, and sensing technologies.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
6.
Assertion (A): The 2025 Nobel Physics laureates demonstrated that quantum effects are observable beyond microscopic particles. Reason (R): Their experiments confirmed that quantum states can be controlled in macroscopic circuits.
7.
Consider the following statements about the Wildlife Week 2025 celebrations and initiatives in India:
- The event was held at the Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy, Dehradun.
- The theme of Wildlife Week 2025 was Human–Wildlife Coexistence.
- The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) collaborated with international NGOs only to launch conservation projects.
- The initiatives aim to integrate technology and community participation for better conservation outcomes.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
8.
Which of the following is NOT one of the five major wildlife conservation projects launched in 2025?
9.
Consider the following statements regarding the current state of global social justice as reported by ILO in 2025:
- Child labour among ages 5 to 14 has decreased from 250 million in 1995 to 106 million in 2024.
- Extreme poverty globally has declined from 39% to 10% over the past three decades.
- Secondary school completion rates have fallen by 22 percentage points globally.
- For the first time, over half the global population has some form of social protection coverage.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
10.
Assertion (A): Persistent global inequalities continue to threaten social justice despite improvements in poverty and education. Reason (R): Over half of global income inequality arises from differences in the country of birth, and earnings depend largely on circumstances beyond personal control.
