Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Helium hydride ion (HeH+):
1. Helium hydride ion (HeH+) is the most ancient type of molecule in our universe in space
2. Neutral hydrogen and ionized helium atoms reacted to form HeH+.Which of the given statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/universes-first-molecule-detected-in-space/
Scientists have detected the most ancient type of molecule in our universe in space for the first time ever.
Helium hydride ion (HeH+) was the first molecule that formed when, almost 14 billion years ago, falling temperatures in the young universe allowed recombination of the light elements produced in the Big Bang.
At that time, ionized hydrogen and neutral helium atoms reacted to form HeH+.
Despite its importance in the history of the early Universe, HeH+ has so far escaped detection in astrophysical nebulae — cloud of gas and dust in outer space.Incorrect

2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Genome Sequencing:
1. A genome is an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes.
2. Genome Sequencing involves the sequencing and analysis of genomes through uses of high throughput DNA sequencing.Which of the given statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/csir-plans-genome-sequencing-to-map-population-diversity/
Genomics or Gene Sequencing is an interdisciplinary field of science focusing on the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes.
A genome is an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Genomics also involves the sequencing and analysis of genomes through uses of high throughput DNA sequencing.
Advances in genomics have triggered a revolution in discovery-based research and systems biology to facilitate understanding of even the most complex biological systems such as the brain.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs):
1. REC provides a basic sense of how energy efficient an electric appliance is by providing them ratings.
2. The Issuance of RECs in India is undertaken by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.Which of the given statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/renewable-energy-certificates/
Statements in the question are related to BEE Star Ratings and not RECs.
In a bid to promote renewable energy market in India, the Indian government has framed policies under the Electricity Act, 2003 and the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) to increase the total renewable power generation capacity in the country.
Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) is a policy instrument to catalyze the development of renewable energy.
It is a market based mechanism which will help the states meet their regulatory requirements (such as Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs)) by overcoming the geographical constraints on existing renewable potential in different states.
RECs unbundle the electricity component (commodity) from the green/environmental attributes of the power generated from renewable sources.
Both the components can then be traded separately.
Thus RECs help in incentivizing the production of renewable energy over and above the RPO state limit as tradable certificates are not constrained by the geographical limitations of commodity electricity.Incorrect

4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Line Of Control (LOC):
1. Line of Control is the recognised international border between India and Pakistan.
2. The Line of Control divided Kashmir into two parts and closed the Jehlum valley route.Which of the given statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
https://indianexpress.com/article/india/citing-terror-india-puts-loc-trade-on-hold-5683289/
Originally known as the Cease-fire Line, it was redesignated as the “Line of Control” following the Simla Agreement, which was signed on 3 July 1972.
The part of Jammu that is under Indian control is known as the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Pakistani-controlled part is divided into Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit–Baltistan. The northernmost point of the Line of Control is known as NJ9842.
Another ceasefire line separates the Indian-controlled state of Jammu and Kashmir from the Chinese-controlled area known as Aksai Chin.
The Line of Control divided Kashmir into two parts and closed the Jehlum valley route.Incorrect

5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Lok Adalats, which of the following statements is correct ?
Correct
2010 UPSC Prelims Question
https://www.civilsdaily.com/lok-adalats-origin-evolution-jurisdiction-powers/
The jurisdiction of the Lok Adalats is wide–any matter falling within the jurisdiction of civil, criminal, revenue Courts or tribunals can be taken up.
If both the concerned parties agree then the court can refer the matter to a Lok Adalat for a rather informal dispute resolution.
A Lok Adalat has the jurisdiction to settle, by way of effecting compromise between the parties, any matter which may be pending before any court, as well as matters at pre-litigative stage i.e. disputes which have not yet been formally instituted in any Court of Law.
The Lok Adalat is presided over by a sitting or retired judicial officer as the chairman, with two other members, usually a lawyer and a social worker.Incorrect

What is REC Certificate…I,m unable to understand it despite reading it in multiple times from different sources
Every State must buy/produce a part of their electricity requirement from Renewable energy source – Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO)
If not able to buy, they can buy RECs’ (an instrument)
any state that can make surplus electricity from Renewable source can sell REC to the state that is in deficit.( can sell electricity if geographically possible, if not then RECs help)
