The velocity of money is the frequency at which one unit of currency is used to purchase domestically- produced goods and services within a given time period. It is the amount of money circulated in the economy during a given period of time. Velocity of circulation is measured by dividing GDP by the country's total money supply. A high velocity of circulation in a country indicates a high degree of inflation. It helps in determining how vigorous a country's economy is. Hence statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is not correct. Hence option (a) is the correct answer.

During the summers, the northward shift in the position of the ITCZ is also related to the phenomenon of the withdrawal of the westerly jet stream from its position over the north Indian plain, south of the Himalayas. The easterly jet stream sets in along 15°N latitude only after the western jet stream has withdrawn itself from the region. This easterly jet stream is held responsible for the burst of the monsoon in India.

The government will amend the RBI Act for setting up of a Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) which will fix the benchmark interest rate of the central bank and set inflation targets. The RBI Act 1934, is being amended to provide statutory basis for a Monetary Policy Framework and a Monetary Policy Committee through the Finance Bill 2016. The proposed committee will have six members, with three appointed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the remaining nominated by an external selection committee. The RBI governor will have the casting vote in case of a tie. According to the Finance Bill, the committee will consist of the RBI governor, the deputy governor in charge of monetary policy and one official nominated by the central bank. The other three members will be appointed by the central government through a search committee, said the Finance Bill. This search committee will comprise of the cabinet secretary, the secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs, the RBI governor and three experts in the field of economics or banking as nominated by the central government. The monetary policy committee framework will replace the current system where the RBI governor and his internal team have complete control over monetary policy decisions. While a technical advisory committee advises the RBI on monetary policy decisions, the central bank is under no obligation to accept its recommendations.

Compared to earlier periods there was a decline in long-distance trade. Till A.D. 550 India carried on some trade with the Eastern Roman empire, to which it exported silk. Around A.D. 550 the people of Eastern Roman empire learnt from the Chinese the art of growing silk, which adversely affected the export trade of India. The position of shudras improved in this period. They were now permitted to listen to the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Puranas. They could also worship a new god, Krishna. They were also allowed to perform certain domestic rites. In the urban administration, organised professional bodies (Guilds) were given considerable share. The seals from Vaishali show that artisans, merchants and scribes served on the same corporate body, and in this capacity they conducted the affairs of the towns.

Marginal standing facility is a window for banks to borrow from Reserve Bank of India in emergency situation when inter-bank liquidity dries up completely. Banks borrow from the central bank by pledging government securities at a rate higher than the repo rate under liquidity adjustment facility or LAF in short. MSF generally kept at 1% more than the Repo Rate by the RBI (India). Reserve Bank of India's liquidity adjustment facility of LAF helps banks to adjust their daily liquidity mismatches. LAF has two components: repo (repurchase agreement) and reverse repo. When banks need liquidity to meet its daily requirement, they borrow from RBI through repo. The rate at which they borrow fund is called the repo rate. When banks are flush with fund, they park with RBI through the reverse repo mechanism at reverse repo rate. Reverse repo rate is usually 1% less than repo rate.

The Congress had organised a National Conference on Education in 1937 in Wardha. In the light of the resolutions passed there, Zakir Hussain Committee formulated a detailed national scheme for basic education. The main principle behind this scheme was 'learning through activity'. It was based on Gandhiji's ideas published in a series of articles in the weekly 'Harijan'. Gandhiji thought that western education had created a gulf between the educated few and the masses and had also made the educated elite ineffective.

But, like the Speaker, the Chairman also cannot vote in the first instance. He too can cast a vote in case of an equality of votes. Hence, statement 2 is correct. The Vice President cannot preside over a sitting of the Rajya Sabha as its Chairman when a resolution for his removal is under consideration. However, he can be present and speak in the House and can take part in its proceedings,without voting, even at such a time (while the Speaker can vote in the first instance when a resolution for his removal is under consideration of the Lok Sabha).Hence, statement 3 is correct.

Scientists from Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have indigenously developed world’s lightest synthetic material called 'silica aerogel' or 'blue air'. Silica Aerogel is the lightest synthetic material ever made by man. Dubbed frozen smoke, solid smoke or blue smoke owing to their translucent nature, aerogels are ultra-light materials derived from gel. Silica aerogel will find multiple uses. It can serve as a robust lightweight insulation for space suits, rovers and cryogenic-tanks on rockets. It can be used as ‘fillers’ in insulation jackets for soldiers deployed in extremely cold climate (ECC) regions and high altitudes, as it serves to keep the body warm. It can also be used in translucent window glazing and roofs to allow light to pass through but prevent heat transfer. For cold regions, it means heat can be trapped inside a room.

In the context of modern scientific research, which of the following is the fundamental objective of "Virgo", an interferometer located in Pisa, Italy, recently seen in the news?
|
to detect gravitational waves
|
to detect dark matter
|
to study the impact of climate change
|
to detect gravitational waves
|
The Virgo interferometer, located near Pisa in Italy, is a large interferometer designed to detect gravitational waves predicted by the general theory of relativity. Virgo is a Michelson interferometer that is isolated from external disturbances: its mirrors and instrumentation are suspended and its laser beam operates in a vacuum. The instrument's two arms are three kilometres long. Other interferometers similar to Virgo have the same goal of detecting gravitational waves, including the two LIGO interferometers in the United States (at the Hanford Site and in Livingston, Louisiana). The interferometer is named for the Virgo Cluster of about 1,500 galaxies in the Virgo constellation, about 50 million light-years from Earth.

A "Liquidity trap" situation in an economy, is characterised by:
|
expansionary monetary policy
|
high interest rates and high savings
|
low interest rates and high savings
|
expansionary monetary policy
|
Liquidity trap is a situation when expansionary monetary policy (increase in money supply) does not increase the interest rate, income and hence does not stimulate economic growth. In other words, Liquidity trap is the extreme effect of monetary policy. It is a situation in which the general public is prepared to hold on to whatever amount of money is supplied, at a given rate of interest. They do so because of the fear of adverse events like deflation, war. In that case, a monetary policy carried out through open market operations has no effect on either the interest rate, or the level of income. In a liquidity trap, the monetary policy is powerless to affect the interest rate. There is a liquidity trap at short term zero percent interest rate. When interest rate is zero, public would not want to hold any bond, since money, which also pays zero percent interest, has the advantage of being usable in transactions. Hence, if the interest is zero, an increase in quantity of money cannot not induce anyone to buy bonds and thereby reduce the interest on bonds below zero.

Besides, private markets will also be allowed access to the e-platform thereby enhancing its outreach. The Scheme is applicable on All-India basis. There is no State wise allocation under the Scheme. However, desirous States would be required to meet the pre-requisites in terms of carrying out necessary agri-marketing reforms. For integration with the e-platform the States/UTs will need to undertake prior reforms in respect of: a single license to be valid across the State, single point levy of market fee and provision for electronic auction as a mode for price discovery. Only those States/UTs that have completed these three pre-requisites will be eligible for assistance under the scheme.

Living root bridges are a form of tree shaping common in the southern part of the Northeast Indian state of Meghalaya. Which of the following trees are used for building these root bridges?
|
Peepal Tree
|
Rubber Tree
|
Sundari Tree
|
Peepal Tree
|
Roots of the rubber tree - Ficus Elastica are the pavements for the natural root bridges in the thick forests of Khasi Hills district. These types of bridges take very long to develop into a firm bridge. Normally it takes around 10 to15 years, which is the normal construction period. These bridges grow to approximately 50 to100 feet long and have strong and deep roots providing a stable foothold. They can carry up to 50 people at a time. The life of these bioengineering wonders is estimated at 500 years, more than the life span of most of man made modern bridges. The most famous Umshiang Double Decker root bridge in Nongriat village, south of Cherrapunjee about 70 km from the capital Shillong is estimated to be two centuries old.

"This current is the southernly branch of the North Atlantic Current when it reaches the eastern part of the ocean. It flows between Spain and Azores as a cold current. It finally joins the North Equatorial current completing the circuit in the North Atlantic." Which of the following oceanic currents is described in the above passage?
|
Benguela Current
|
Agulhas Current
|
Canary Current
|
Benguela Current
|
Canary Current is the correct answer. Driven by prevailing winds, the Canary Current flows southwestward along the coast of West Africa, bringing cool water towards the equator. As the wind moves the surface water, nutrient rich water from below the surface moves upward. This upwelling creates a highly productive region, especially for deep-sea fish and lobsters. Benguela Current - It is a branch of the South Atlantic Current which flows northward along the west coast of South Africa. Falkland Current - It is a cold current which flows along the south-eastern coast of South America from south to north. Agulhas Current - It is a warm Indian Ocean Current. It flows from north to south till it merges with the West Wind Drift.

With reference to Negative interest rate policy, consider the following statements: It refers to a policy of banks where depositors must pay regularly to keep their money with the bank.

A negative interest rate policy (NIRP) is an unconventional monetary policy tool whereby nominal target interest rates are set with a negative value, below the theoretical lower bound of zero percent. During deflationary periods, people and businesses hoard money instead of spending and investing. The result is a collapse in aggregate demand which leads to prices falling even farther, a slowdown or halt in real production and output, and an increase in unemployment. A loose or expansionary monetary policy is usually employed to deal with such economic stagnation. However, if deflationary forces are strong enough, simply cutting the central bank's interest rate to zero may not be sufficient to stimulate borrowing and lending. A negative interest rate means the central bank and perhaps private banks will charge negative interest: instead of receiving money on deposits, depositors must pay regularly to keep their money with the bank. This is intended to incentivize banks to lend money more freely and businesses and individuals to invest, lend, and spend money rather than pay a fee to keep it safe. Theoretically, targeting interest rates below zero will reduce the costs to borrow for companies and households, driving demand for loans and incentivizing investment and consumer spending. In the eurozone, in Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Japan, central banks have decided to have a negative rate on commercial banks' excess funds held on deposit at the central bank.

Gotipua is a tradition in Odissi dance in which boy dancers are dressed up as females and danced like devadasis. This was done because the devadasi (or Mahari) tradition fell prey to decadence. The ascetic followers of Vaishnavism disapproved of the immoralities of the devadasi system and introduced the practice of getting young boys to dance the ritual dances in the temples.

The Constitution lays down that a person shall be disqualified from being a member of Parliament if he is so disqualified on the ground of defection under the provisions of the Tenth Schedule. A member incurs disqualification under the defection law: if he voluntary gives up the membership of the political party on whose ticket he is elected to the House. if he votes or abstains from voting in the House contrary to any direction given by his political party. if any independently elected member joins any political party; and if any nominated member joins any political party after the expiry of six months. Speaking against his party's policy in the media is not a ground to disqualify a member due to defection. The question of disqualification under the Tenth schedule is decided by the Chairman in case of rajya Sabha and Speaker in case of Lok Sabha (and not by the President of India). In 1992, Supreme Court held that the decision of the chairman/Speaker in this regard is subject to judicial review.

A halo orbit is a periodic, three-dimensional orbit near the L1, L2 or L3 Lagrange points in the three-body problem of orbital mechanics. Although the Lagrange point is just a point in empty space, its peculiar characteristic is that it can be orbited. Halo orbits are the result of a complicated interaction between the gravitational pull of the two planetary bodies and the Coriolis and centrifugal accelerations on a spacecraft.

Electoral Trust is a Section 25 Company or a non-profit company created in India for orderly receipt of the voluntary contributions from any person and for distributing the same to the respective political parties, registered under Section 29A of the Representation of People Act, 1951. The objective of the Electoral Trust is not to earn any profit or pass any direct or indirect benefit to its members or contributors. The sole objective is to distribute the contributions received by it to the political party concerned. This is a mechanism for bringing transparency and sanity in the political party funding. The Central Government amended the Income Tax Rules, 1962 to list the functions of Electoral Trusts which are approved by the Central Bureau of Direct Taxes (CBDT). The list of electoral trust is maintained by Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Those electoral trusts are recognised by the CBDT, and their contribution reports are maintained by the Election Commission of India.

The case "S R Bomai vs Union of India" is most known for:
|
Supreme Court providing guidelines related to use of rarest of rare doctrine in cases of capital punishment.
|
Supreme Court strucking down few provisions of 42nd Constitutional Amendment due to its violation of basic structure.
|
Supreme Case judgment providing guidelines related to imposition of President"s rule in states.
|
Supreme Court providing guidelines related to use of rarest of rare doctrine in cases of capital punishment.
|
S R Bomai vs Union of India is related to Supreme Case judgment on imposition of President's rule in state: Art. 356 should be used "very sparingly", and not for political gains. The strength of the government should be tested on the floor of the house and not as per whims of the Governor. Court cannot question the advice tendered by Council of ministers but it can scrutinize the ground for that advice of imposition of President's rule in the state and may take corrective steps if malafide intention is found. Use of Art 356 is justified only when there is breakdown of constitutional machinery and not administrative machinery. Recently a political crisis in Uttarakhand started on March 18 when nine Congress MLAs defected to the opposition and met Governor, and sought the dismissal of the Uttarakhand government. In Bachan Singh case supreme Court provided guidelines related to use of rarest of rare doctrine in cases of capital punishment. In Minerva Mills's case, Supreme Court struck down few provisions of 42nd Constitutional Amendment due to its violation of basic structure. In Vishakha and others v State of Rajasthan, Supreme court judgement provided guidelines related to handling of sexual harassment cases at workplace.

National Science Day is celebrated every year on 28th February to commemorate the discovery of the "Raman Effect". Which among the following correctly describes the phenomenon of "Raman Effect"?
|
Change in intensity of reflected light.
|
Refraction of light when it passes from one medium to the other.
|
Change of wavelength exhibited by some of the radiation scattered in a medium.
|
Change in intensity of reflected light.
|
Raman Effect - Change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules. When a beam of light traverses a dust-free, transparent sample of a chemical compound, a small fraction of the light emerges in directions other than that of the incident (incoming) beam. Most of this scattered light is of unchanged wavelength. A small part, however, has wavelengths different from that of the incident light; its presence is a result of the Raman effect.

Recently, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved reservation norms for mandatory use of jute in packaging for the Jute Year 2021-22. The mandatory packaging norms approved for Jute Year 2021-22 provide for 100 per cent reservation of foodgrains and 20 per cent of sugar to be compulsorily packed in jute bags. Hence statement 3 is not correct. India is the world’s biggest producer of jute, followed by Bangladesh. Jute is primarily grown in West Bengal, Odisha, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Andhra Pradesh. Hence statement 1 is not correct. The jute industry in India is 150 years old. There are about 70 jute mills in the country, of which about 60 are in West Bengal along both the banks of river Hooghly. Compared to rice, jute requires less water and fertiliser. Hence statement 2 is correct. The daily consumptive use of rice varies from 6-10 mm and total water ranges from 1100 to 1250 mm. While Jute crop requires 500 mm of water. It is largely pest-resistant, and its rapid growth spurt ensures that weeds don’t stand a chance. To top it all, the monetary returns on jute are twice that of paddy. An acre of land produces approximately nine quintals of fibre.

There are three principle meanings of the term "bodhisattva": In early Buddhism, bodhisattva meant "the previous lives of a (or the) Buddha". In Mahayana Buddhism, bodhisattva refers to a human being committed to the attainment of enlightenment for the sake of others. Becoming a bodhisattva is the goal of Mahayana Buddhism. Bodhisattva may also refer in Mahayana Buddhism to archetypal bodhisattvas: mythical beings such as Avalokiteshvara and Manjushri, who are objects of devotion.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a non-profit body that administrates domain names and Internet protocol addresses (IPs) globally, is slated to become independent from the US Department of Commerce on September 30, after a two-decade long slugfest for decentralisation of its control. The ICANN will now be governed by a "multi-stakeholder" model, including businesses, individual users and members of governments across the world. It is not a part of United Nations. While ICANN was formed as a not-for-profit partnership of people from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and inter-operable, it doesn't actually control content on the Internet. So, it cannot stop spam, and it does not deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet. Thus only statement 2 is correct.

The rock cut architecture was suited to India due to presence of Rocky Mountains. These developments took place primarily in the western ghats and only secondarily in other parts of the country. Buddhist caves have also been excavated in eastern India, mainly in coastal region of Andhra Pradesh and in Odisha. For example Guntapalle in Eluru district.

Statement 1 is correct : The Constitution does not contain any specific procedure for the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister. Article 75 says only that the Prime Minister shall be appointed by the president. However, this does not imply that the president is free to appoint any one as the Prime Minister. Statement 2 is correct: In 1997, the Supreme Court held that a person who is not a member of either House of Parliament can be appointed as Prime Minister for six months, within which, he should become a member of either House of Parliament; otherwise, he ceases to be the Prime Minister. Constitutionally, the Prime Minister may be a member of any of the two Houses of parliament. Statement 3 is correct: Since the Prime Minister stands at the head of the council of ministers, the other ministers cannot function when the Prime Minister resigns or dies. In other words, the resignation or death of an incumbent Prime Minister automatically dissolves the council of ministers and thereby generates a vacuum. The resignation or death of any other minister, on the other hand, merely creates a vacancy which the Prime Minister may or may not like to fill.

The Prime Meridian (Longitude = 0 o ) passes through the following countries: United Kingdom, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana, Antarctica. All countries decided that the count should begin from the meridian which passed through Greenwich, where the British Royal Observatory is located. This meridian is called the Prime Meridian. Its value is 0 o longitude and from it we count 180 o eastward as well as 180 o westward. The Prime Meridian divides the earth into two equal halves, the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.

The Government of India Act, 1919 laid down in its Preamble the principles on which the reforms were to be progressively carried out in India. It included following points: British India is to remain an integral part of the British empire. Responsible government in British India is the objective of the declared policy of Parliament. Responsible government is capable of progressive realisation only. In order to achieve responsible government, it is necessary to provide two things: the increasing association of the Indians in every branch of administration and gradual development of self- governing institutions. Concurrently with the development of self governing institutions in the provinces, it is expedient to give to provinces in provincial matters the highest measure of independence of the Government of India, which is compatible with the due discharge by the latter of its own responsibilities. To disclaim any intention to annex Indian states was the objective of Government of India Act 1858.

a synthetic dye as food colour.
|
a paint used for metal doors.
|
a catalyst used in synthesis of woollen clothes.
|
a synthetic dye as food colour.
|
Metanil yellow is a principal non-permitted food colour used extensively in India. The effect of long-term consumption of metanil yellow on the developing and adult brain causes neurotoxicity. Neurotoxicity occurs when the exposure to natural or artificial toxic substances, alters the normal activity of the nervous system in such a way as to cause damage to the nervous tissue. Metanil yellow is used in dal as an adulterant for colouring. Its presence can be tested in dal by adding a few drops of HCl to a test sample, if the solution turns pink in colour, it indicates the presence of metanil yellow.

The weather in the month of October in the Indian sub-continent is called 'October heat'. During October and November, with the apparent movement of the sun towards the south, the monsoon trough or the low-pressure trough over the northern plains becomes weaker. This is gradually replaced by a high-pressure system. The south-west monsoon winds weaken and start withdrawing gradually. By the beginning of October, the monsoon withdraws from the northern plains. The months of October and November form the period of transition from the hot rainy season to dry winter conditions. The retreat of the monsoon is marked by clear skies and a rise in temperature. While day temperatures are high, nights are cool and pleasant. The land is still moist and the weather becomes rather oppressive during the day and is commonly known as October heat. Therefore, all statements are correct.

Energy is found in different forms, such as light, heat, sound and motion. There are many forms of energy, but they can all be put into two categories: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is motion-of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects. Example: Electrical Energy is the movement of electrical charges. Everything is made of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are made of even smaller particles called electrons, protons, and neutrons. Other examples are Thermal Energy, Radiant Energy etc. Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position. There are several forms of potential energy. Chemical Energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. It is the energy that holds these particles together. Biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane are examples of stored chemical energy. Nuclear Energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom-the energy that holds the nucleus together. The energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart. Gravitational Energy is the energy of position or place. A rock resting at the top of a hill contains gravitational potential energy. Gravitational Energy is the energy of position or place. A rock resting at the top of a hill contains gravitational potential energy. Hydropower, such as water in a reservoir behind a dam, is an example of gravitational potential energy.

Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) is a set of digital audio broadcasting technologies designed to work over the bands currently used for analogue radio broadcasting including AM broadcasting, particularly shortwave, and FM broadcasting. DRM has the twin capabilities of analogue and digital transmission, which makes it perfect for simulcast modes. Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to the waveform being transmitted. In frequency modulation the frequency of the carrier signal is varied, and phase modulation, in which its phase is varied. Both AM and FM are Analog modulation

Since 1961, the sale and storage of khesari dal has been banned due to higher presence of harmful chemical called ODAP (Beta-N-oxalyl-a,Beta diaminopropionic acid), which causes an irreversible motor neuro disorder called neurolathyrism or lathyrism. However, the food safety regulator FSSAI has sought Health Ministry's approval to hold public consultation on approval of three new khesari dal varieties - Ratan, Prateek and Mahateara - having low ODAP.

Distance from the sea - Coastal areas are cooler and wetter than inland areas. Also, the centre of continents are subject to a large range of temperatures. Slope of the land - An area with a steep slope experiences a more rapid change in temperature than a gentle one. Wind Direction - Winds blowing from lower latitudes to hgher latitudes warm the higher latitudes. Moreover, warm winds that blow from the sea into land are moisture-laden and cause rainfall on land especially when they strike against a barrier. Cloud Cover - In hot-wet regions the dense cloud cover prevents incoming insolation as well as checks outgoing radiation. Also, in hot desert areas there are no cloud covers. So, there is high insolation during day time and rapid loss of heat due to terrestrial radiation at night. Therefore, all are correct.

Option 5 is incorrect, as World Trade Organisation was not the part of Nuclear Security Summit. The Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) is a world summit, aimed at preventing nuclear terrorism around the globe. The first summit was held in Washington, D.C., United States, in 2010. The second summit was held in Seoul, South Korea, in 2012. The third summit was held in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2014. The fourth summit was held in Washington, D.C. on March 31-April 1, 2016.The fourth NSS, the last in its current format, ended with leaders from more than 50 countries and four international organisations.
