Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding the Speaker of the Lok Sabha
1. He prorogues the House in the absence of quorum.
2. He presides over a joint sitting of the Houses, addressed by the President.
3. He decides whether a bill is a Money bill or not and his decision in this regard is final.
Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?Correct
Statement 1 and 2 are incorrect while statement 3 is correct.
As the Presiding Officer of the House, the Speaker has power to adjourn (not prorogue, as it is the President who prorogues the Houses) the sitting until there is quorum (The minimum number of members of the House of Parliament required to be present for a parliamentary proceeding to start is called Quorum, which is not less than 1/10 of the total strength of the House).
The Speaker presides over the joint sitting, which is summoned by the President to settle the deadlock between the Houses of Parliament. However, when the President addresses the House in a joint sitting, he himself presides it over, not the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
Even though the Speaker of the Lok Sabha does not vote in the first instance, he can still exercise his vote in order to resolve a deadlock, thus the Speaker has a casting vote. This makes the position of the Speaker impartial.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the statements given below is/are correct?
1. The Constitution authorises the President to decide other place or places as seat of the Supreme Court.
2. The Chief Justice of India can appoint a judge of a High Court as an ad hoc judge of the Supreme Court for a temporary period.
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Statement 1 is incorrect while statement 2 is correct.
The Constitution of India authorises the Chief Justice of India to appoint other place or places as seat of the Supreme Court. He can take decision in this regard only with the approval of the President. So, first option is not correct.
The Chief Justice of India can appoint a judge of a High Court as an ad hoc judge of the Supreme Court for a temporary period. He can do so only after consultation with the Chief Justice of the High Court concerned and with the previous consent of the President. So, second option is correct.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following factors given below influence Jet Streams?
1. Coriolis force
2. Landmasses
3. Earth’s rotation
4. Air masses
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
All of the above are correct.
High above the surface, near the tropopause, there is little friction to slow down airflow and wind speeds often exceed 100 mph. Sometimes wind speeds exceed 200 mph. This rapidly flowing current of air located 10-15 km (6-9 miles) above the surface, is called the jet stream.
The Coriolis force which is caused by the planet’s rotation also plays an important role. Landmasses interrupt the flow of the jet stream through friction and temperature differences. The landmass changes the meandering pattern of jet stream. It can even bifurcate jet stream (For eg. the Himalayas) A jet stream forms high in the upper troposphere between two air masses. It is the zone of formation of geostrophic wind. The greater the temperature difference between the air masses, the faster the wind blows in the jet stream.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the statements given below is/are correct?
1. Southern slopes of the Himalayas are covered with thick vegetation cover as compared to their northern slopes.
2. Eastern slopes of the Western Ghats are covered with thick vegetation cover as compared to their western slopes.
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Statement 1 is correct while statement 2 is incorrect.
The growth of vegetation depends upon the amount of sunlight and rainfall received. The southern slopes of the Himalayas receive more rain due to the south west monsoon winds which travel west along the southern slopes. The northern slopes do not receive any such rainfall. So, the southern slopes are covered with thick vegetation as compared to the northern slopes.
Western slopes of the Western Ghats are covered with thick vegetation cover as compared to their eastern slopes because western slopes of Western Ghats are on windward side. Hence, they receive heavy rainfall and cause thick vegetation to grow extensively whereas the Eastern slopes come under rain-shadow zone.Incorrect
