https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/species-in-news-miracle-plant-arogyapacha/
Answer: (d)
Arogyapacha
- Scientists from the University of Kerala have decoded the genetic make-up of Arogyapacha (Trichopus zeylanicus), a highly potent medicinal plant endemic to the Agasthya hills.
- This ‘miracle plant’ is known for its traditional use by the Kani tribal community to combat fatigue.
- Studies have also proved its varied spectrum of pharmacological properties such as anti-oxidant, aphrodisiac, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-tumour, anti-ulcer, anti-hyperlipidemic, hepatoprotective and anti-diabetic.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsThe term Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) is sometimes seen in news is related to:
Correct
Inspired by: https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/record-temperatures-weather-monsoon-emissions-united-nations-5796104/
Answer: (a)
Representative Concentration Pathway
- A Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) is a greenhouse gas concentration (not emissions) trajectory adopted by the IPCC for its fifth Assessment Report (AR5) in 2014.
- Four pathways have been selected for climate modeling and research, which describe different climate futures, all of which are considered possible depending on how much greenhouse gases are emitted in the years to come.
- The four RCPs, namely RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6, and RCP8.5, are labelled after a possible range of radiative forcing values in the year 2100 (2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5 W/m2, respectively)

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in India:
- The ILP is a travel document Indian citizens need to possess to enter any States of north-eastern India.
- It is issued under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873, to regulate the movement of people who do not belong to these States.
- The ILP is valid for a week, but can be extended.
- ILP is also a necessary document for any foreign national visiting NE India.
Which of the given statements is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Inner Line Permit (ILP)
- A British-era system, the ILP is a travel document Indian citizens need to possess to enter the frontier States of north-eastern India: Aruanchal Pradesh, Mizoram and Nagaland.
- It is issued under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873, to regulate the movement of people who do not belong to these States.
- The ILP is valid for a week, but can be extended.
- People who frequent these States for work can opt for a special ILP renewable annually.
- Since the ILP is mandatory for Indians and the Protected Area Permit for foreigners, the fact that the labourers ejected from Arunachal Pradesh did not possess the permit put their nationality under a cloud.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI):
- The NDVI is a simple indicator which tells how much of the ground is covered with vegetation.
- It uses near infrared radiations for measuring the vegetation cover.
Which of the given statements is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Inspired by: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/normalized-difference-vegetation-index-ndvi/
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)
- For both academic and practical purposes, there is the practice of remotely monitoring vegetation in an area and representing it in terms of maps and parameters.
- One such parameter used is the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) which is measured remotely from satellite data.
- The NDVI is a simple indicator which tells how much of the ground is covered with vegetation.
- It basically calculates the difference between the red and near infrared (NIR) components of light reflected by objects, from, say, a satellite.
- Since healthy vegetation strongly absorbs red and reflects near infrared light, this difference can indicate the presence of healthy vegetation and map it into a colour code.
