Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following is/are most likely to happen when Indian currency depreciates with respect to the U.S. dollar?
- India’s export will increase.
- Crude oil prices will rise in India.
- India’s imports would decrease.
Correct
The correct answer is d.
All the statements are likely to happen whenever the Indian currency depreciates.
- Indian exports are likely to increase as it will be cheaper for the person who imports it in his country after the Indian currency depreciates.
- As India depends largely on the import for oil, so whenever the Indian rupee depreciates crude oil prices in India has always been its well-known casualty.
- Importers in India would definitely feel the pinch whenever Indian currency depreciates. Why?. Because now they would have to pay more in terms of Indian currency to import the same quantity as they did before the appreciation.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about the proposed Indian Data Relay Satellite System(IDRSS)-
- The system will be used for receiving data from other satellites in the space, i.e. space-to-space tracking.
- The system will be placed in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
- The U.S. is the only country to have the relay system in the space.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Correct

‘a’ is the correct answer.
The satellite system will be used for communicating with India’s missions in space like Gaganyan. In the case of such missions, because of the rotation of the earth Indian tracking and communication system placed at only one location on the ground turn away from the object in space when the earth rotates by 180 degrees. In that case, if we place a system of at least three satellites in the space, we can keep in touch with these missions directly as these three tracking systems will ensure that at least one of them is receiving the data from the mission and one of them will be in touch with the mission control on the ground.

- The issued documents in the DigiLocker system are deemed to be at par with the original physical document.
- Providing your AADHAR number is not mandatory for accessing the DigiLocker facility.
Correct
The correct answer is ‘b’
The Delhi High Court sought response of the Centre on a petition against the rules pertaining to the operation of DigiLocker, the government’s online document storage facility app, on the ground that it does not have a nomination facility.
DigiLocker is a flagship initiative of MEITY under the ‘Digital India’ programme. The issued documents in the DigiLocker system are deemed to be at par with original physical documents.
AADHAR is not mandatory for DigiLocker.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following with respect to Lysosomal Storage Disorder(LSD)-
- It is usually a consequence of a deficiency of enzymes.
- It results in the accumulation of various toxins in the cell.
- It is caused by a virus.
- There is no available vaccine.
Which of the above is not correct?
Correct
The correct answer is ‘c’.
Although the signs and symptoms vary from disease to disease in this group, symptoms occur in each case because of an enzyme deficiency that inhibits the ability of the lysosomes present in each of the body’s cells to perform their normal function. The lysosomes function as the primary digestive units within cells. Their function is to break down complex components into simpler ones. Each cell has hundreds of lysosomes that degrade complex cellular components such as proteins (substrates) into simpler components. When this process does not take place, the substrate begins to accumulate in the cells.
It is not caused by virus as it is a genetic disorder. So, there is no vaccine.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements
- Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) exchange rates are calculated by comparing the prices of the same basket of goods and services in different countries.
- In terms of PPP dollars, India is the sixth-largest economy in the world.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
UPSC Prelims 2019
PPP- Purchasing Power Parity in the term used in macroeconomics to compare the purchasing power of two currencies.
Suppose cake is the only thing in the world that is required for human beings to live after oxygen. Now you want to compare the purchasing power of Indian currency to that of the U.S. dollar. If it cost Rs 40 to buy a cake in India and it cost $1 in the U.S. so in terms of purchasing power parity you can say that $1=Rs. 40. That is, you get equal (parity=equality) in terms of purchasing power when you have Rs. 40 in India and $1 in the U.S.
But this example also demonstrates that in order to compare the purchasing parity i.e. equality in purchasing power you have to buy the same thing in both the places otherwise it would be absurd to compare the purchasing power parity of the two currencies if you try to buy two different things.
Statement 2 is incorrect. India is at 3rd place by PPP.
