1 pointsWhich of the following country is spearheading the Hope Mars Mission-
Correct
https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/india-space-exploration-nasa-european-space-agency-mars-mission-isro-6296116/
Two small countries, the United Arab Emirates in the Gulf and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in Europe have begun to demonstrate that the outer space need not be the playing ground for big powers alone.
That size is not a constraint is reflected in the UAE’s plan to launch its Mars mission, “Hope”, later this year in partnership with a range of organisations across the world — including three universities in the US. Japan is scheduled to launch the UAE Mars probe this year. India’s own ISRO is also working with the UAE on its Mars mission.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statement with respect to black carbon?
- Black carbon results from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass.
- It absorbs light and about a million times more energy than carbon dioxide.
- It can stay in the atmosphere for years.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Black carbon results from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. The fine particles absorb light and about a million times more energy than carbon dioxide. It is said to be the second-largest contributor to climate change after CO2. But unlike CO2, which can stay in the atmosphere for years together, black carbon is short-lived and remains in the atmosphere only for days to weeks before it descends as rain or snow.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsIn the context of proposals to the use of hydrogen – enriched CNG (H -CNG) as fuel for buses in public transport, consider the following statements:
- The main advantage of the use of H -CNG is the elimination of carbon monoxide emissions.
- H -CNG as a fuel reduces carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon emissions.
- Hydrogen up to one -fifth by volume can be blended with CNG as fuel for buses.
- H -CNG makes the fuel less expensive than CNG.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Statement 1 is not correct and statements 2 and 3 are correct: H -CNG is a blend of hydrogen and CNG, the ideal hydrogen concentration being 18%. Compared to conventional CNG, use of H – CNG can reduce emission of carbon monoxide up to 70% and 15% reduction in total hydro carbon emissions, besides enabling up to 5% savings in fuel.
Statement 4 is not correct: In its report to the Supreme Court, the EPCA has estimated that to fuel Delhi’s 5,500 buses, about 400 tonnes H -CNG would be needed per day. Setting up four fuel -dispensing facilities would cost Rs 330 crore, which can be funded from the Environment Compensation Charge (ECC) fund made up of cess on commercial vehicles entering Delhi, it said. For consumers who pay Rs 42 per kg for CNG, the cost of H -CNG would not be more than Rs 43 per kg.
