Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Asian Development Bank (ADB):
1. The ADB is a regional development bank which is headquartered in Philippines.
2. The bank admits the members of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
3. The Asian Development Outlook is an annual publication produced by the ADB.Which of the statements is/are correct:
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/asian-development-outlook-2019/
Asian Development Bank has published its flagship report Asian Development Outlook 2019.
ADB, in its report mentioned that recent policy measures by the GoI to improve the investment climate and boost private consumption and investment will help India to lift economic growth in the next two fiscal years.
The ADB is a regional development bank established on 19 December 1966 which is headquartered in Philippines.
ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.
The bank admits the members of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).
Traditionally, and because Japan is one of the largest shareholders of the bank, the president has always been Japanese.
ADB is an official United Nations Observer.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich organisation publishes Ambitions Beyond Growth Report:
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/ambitions-beyond-growth-report-2019/
Ambitions Beyond Growth Report is a annual report published by UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).
A comprehensive assessment of the investment needed to reach the SDGs in the region by 2030 estimates an additional $1.5 trillion per year.
These “ambitions beyond growth” are largely affordable for most countries in the region, given available public and private resources.
Strong development partnerships and regional cooperation are essential to ensure that all countries complete this important journey.
Closing this investment gap is within reach for many countries, but the gap is widest in countries which can least afford to narrow it
The report says that significant savings could be achieved through greater emphasis on education quality and outcomes.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Second Phase of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (hybrid) Electric vehicles (FAME) scheme (FAME India II Scheme):
1. In FAME II, emphasis is on electrification of the public transportation that includes shared transport.
2. The FAME II will not provide any incentive for passenger cars used for personal use.Which of the statements is/are correct:
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/pib-technical-analysis-of-fame-ii-scheme/
The NITI Aayog and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) has released a report on opportunities for the automobile sector and government under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles II (FAME II) scheme.
The scheme is the expanded version of the present scheme titled ‘FAME India 1’ which was launched in April 2015.
The phase two of the scheme plans to support ten lakhs electric two-wheelers, five lakhs electric three-wheelers, 55 thousands four-wheelers and 7,000 buses.
In this phase two, emphasis is on electrification of the public transportation that includes shared transport.
The second phase will also not provide any incentive for passenger cars used for personal use.
In the two-wheelers segment, however, the focus will be on the private vehicles.
Demand Incentives on operational expenditure mode for electric buses will be delivered through State/city transport corporation (STUs).
In 3W and 4W segment incentives will be applicable mainly to vehicles used for public transport or registered for commercial purposes.
To encourage advanced technologies, the benefits of incentives will be extended to only those vehicles which are fitted with advanced batteries like a Lithium Ion.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following concept is related to the limit beyond which stars suffer internal collapse?
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/stephen-hawkings-hypothesis-on-black-holes-discarded/
An international research team including researchers from IUCAA, Pune has ruled out the possibility of primordial black holes being a major constituent of dark matter.
The Chandrasekhar limit is the maximum mass possible for a star, such that it remains a stable white dwarf star. The concept envisages that the mass above which electron degeneracy pressure in the star’s core is insufficient to balance the star’s own gravitational self-attraction. If the mass of the star greater than the limit then it undergo internal collapse. Hence, A is the correct option.
The term “black hole” was coined by American astronomer John Wheeler. Chandrasekhar worked on a wide variety of physical problems in his lifetime, contributing to the contemporary understanding of stellar structure, white dwarfs, stellar dynamics, stochastic process, radiative transfer, the quantum theory of the hydrogen anion, hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic stability, turbulence, equilibrium and the stability of ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium, general relativity, mathematical theory of black holes and theory of colliding gravitational waves.Incorrect

5. Question
1 pointsEach day is more or less the same, the morning is clear and bright with a sea breeze; as the sun climbs high in the sky, heat mounts up, and dark clouds form, than rain comes with thunder and lightning. But rain is soon over.”
Which of the following regions is described in the above passage?Correct
UPSC Prelims 2015 Question
At equator the length of day and night is same throughout the year. Almost each day rainfall occurs which are convectional in nature. Equatorial climate is characterized by consistently high temperatures (around 30 °C) and high humidity, with very little annual temperature variation. Wet equatorial regions lie within about 12° latitude of the Equator.Incorrect
