Option C is correct answer.
• Statement 1 is incorrect. ITER will be the first fusion device to produce net energy. ITER will be the first fusion device to maintain fusion for long periods of time. And ITER will be the first fusion device to test the integrated technologies, materials, and physics regimes necessary for the commercial production of fusion-based electricity
• Statement 2 is incorrect. Tokamak is a magnetic Fusion device
• Statement 3 is correct. In the experiment two types of particles are produced and they are uncharged neutron and positively charged Helium Nuclei with 80% and 20% energy production respectively.

Option D is correct answer.
• Statement 1 is correct. A hyperloop, as you may have heard, is a super speed ground-level transportation system in which people could travel in a hovering pod inside a vacuum tube floating on a frictionless magnetic cushion at speeds as high as 760 mph (1220 km/h), just shy of the speed of sound.
• Statement 2 is correct. HyperloopTT system has a low implementation cost compare to other high or super high speed transportation method
• Statement 3 is correct. as it can be integrated with solar panels and other renewable energy sources
• Statement 4 is correct. With air inside the tube drastically reduced, the cwith less energy high speed can be achieved as the air in the tube reduces drastically

• Option A is correct answer.
• Statement 1 is correct. Neutron stars are formed when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses. The very central region of the star – the core – collapses, crushing together every proton and electron into a neutron
• Statement 2 is correct. Since neutron stars began their existence as stars, they are found scattered throughout the galaxy in the same places where we find stars. And like stars, they can be found by themselves or in binary systems with a companion.
• Statement 3 is incorrect. Pulsars have very strong magnetic fields which funnel jets of particles out along the two magnetic poles

Option D is correct Answer.
• Fissile material example – Uranium-235,uranium-233,plutonium-239
• Fertile material example- uranium-238,Thorium-232

Statement 1 is incorrect. Statement 2 is correct.

Polymetallic manganese nodules (PMN) found on deep sea floor contain approximately 24% manganese, compared to 35 to 55% manganese in land ore bodies, so they do not offer solid economics as a manganese source, but they also contain iron (14%), copper (>1%), nickel(>1%), and cobalt (0.25%). Hence, statement 1 is correct.

India has entered into a 15-year contract with the International Seabed Authority in the year 2002 for pursuing developmental activities for polymetallic nodules in the Indian Ocean
India’s exclusive rights to explore polymetallic nodules from seabed in Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) have been extended by five years. Hence, statement 2 is correct.

Option A is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is incorrect.
Statement 1 is correct. Gallium arsenide, Germanium, and Silicon metals are commonly used as semiconductors.
Statement 2 is incorrect. Mining conglomerate Vedanta and Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn will invest ₹ 1.54 lakh crore to set up India’s first semiconductor production plant in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Option- B is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is incorrect and 2 is correct.
Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall.
Statement 1 is incorrect. The turgor pressure is not seen in animal cells as they do not contain any cell wall. The absence of a cell wall would rupture the cell under too much pressure.
Statement 2 is correct. The osmotic flow of water creates pressure which is called turgidity. It is caused by the flow of water through a selectively permeable membrane.

Option B is correct answer.
Statements 1 and 3 are incorrect. Statement 2 is correct.
Statement 1 is incorrect. The scheme will provide financial incentive of 25% on capital expenditure for the identified list of electronic goods
Statement 3 is incorrect.The scheme will be implemented through a nodal agency. The nodal agency would do the assessment of the application. Such nodal agency will act as Project Management Agency (PMA) and be responsible for providing secretarial, managerial and implementation support and carrying out other responsibilities as assigned by MeitY from time to time.

Option B is the correct Answer.
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. Statement 1 is incorrect.

Joule’s law of heating states that heat produced in a resistor is
○ (i) directly proportional to the square of current for a given resistance, [statement 1 is incorrect.]
○ (ii) directly proportional to resistance for a given current, and [statement 2 is correct.]
○ (iii) directly proportional to the time for which the current flows through the resistor. [statement 3 is correct.]

Thus, Joule’s law can be stated as H = I2 Rt

Option- A is correct Answer.
• Statements 1 is correct. Statement 2 and 3 are incorrect.
• Statement 1 is correct. Hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source and can deliver or store a tremendous amount of energy. It can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity, or power and heat.
• Statement 2 is incorrect. Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water using renewable energy (like Solar, Wind) and has a lower carbon footprint, but not zero carbon footprint.
• Statement 3 is incorrect. Brown hydrogen is produced using coal where the emissions are released to the air. Grey hydrogen is produced from natural gas where the associated emissions are released to the air.
