Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to BS-VI fuels-
- BS-VI fuel is estimated to bring the sulphur content — from 50 parts per million (ppm) to 10 ppm.
- NOx emissions from diesel cars are expected to come down by nearly 70% and, from cars with petrol engines, by 25%.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/bharat-stage-bs-vi-emission-norms/
The main difference between BS-IV and BS-VI (which is comparable to Euro 6) is in the amount of sulphur in the fuel.
The lower the sulphur, the cleaner the fuel, so BS-VI fuel is essentially low-sulphur diesel and petrol.
BS-VI fuel is estimated to bring around an 80% reduction in sulphur content — from 50 parts per million (ppm) to 10 ppm.
Also NOx emissions from diesel cars are expected to come down by nearly 70% and, from cars with petrol engines, by 25%.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following with respect to locust swarms that affected many countries including India-
- Each locust can eat its own body weight—around 2-3 grams—every day.
- The brown-coloured desert locust usually lives as a solitary creature in desert and bush lands.
- In India, the national Locust Warning Organization was set up in 1939.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Correct
The brown-coloured desert locust usually lives as a solitary creature in desert and bush lands. However, when several of them gather in close proximity, they undergo a dramatic physical transformation, change colour to black and bright yellow, become gregarious, and start moving around in swarms. Locusts lay their eggs a few inches under the soil in the presence of moisture, which hatch faster under higher temperatures.
Each locust can eat its own body weight—around 2-3 grams—every day, which means that a swarm can consume hundreds of tonnes of vegetation that it encounters every day.
So far, India’s surveillance, preparedness and response have been competent and effective. The national Locust Warning Organization was set up in 1939 and is well connected to international institutions created to manage locust risks.

- Asian elephant
- Great Indian Bustard
- Bengal Florican
- Whitetip shark
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/migratory-species-in-india/
The Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) had for the first time compiled the list of migratory species of India under the CMS before the Conference of Parties (COP 13) held in Gujarat recently.
It had put the number at 451. Six species were added later. They are the Asian elephant, great Indian bustard, Bengal florican, oceanic white-tip shark, urial and smooth hammerhead shark.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWhy are dewdrops not formed on a cloudy night?
Correct
Dew is not formed:
On cloudy nights because cloudy nights are warmer than clear nights.
In shady places because air cannot move there freely.
On windy nights because wind carries away the moist air the atmosphere, heated by the absorption of Earth radiation, in turn, radiates heat back to the Earth’s surface increasing the Earth’s surface temperature.
