Awards and honours MCQ — 5 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

In the January 2022 Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar context, Gauri Maheshwari of Rajasthan was one of the recognised children, noted for art and culture, especially calligraphy. Kiran Sharma, Deepika Gupta and Namita Singh are not the Rajasthan awardee named in this question's source set. The item is period-bound: it refers to the January 2022 award announcement and interaction, not later Bal Puraskar lists. The published key therefore correctly points to Gauri Maheshwari for this past paper.

Explanation

Dr. Aditi Sen De is the correct answer because she became the first woman scientist to receive the G. D. Birla Award for Scientific Research. The award recognises outstanding scientific work by Indian scientists below the specified age ceiling. Sipra Guha Mukherjee is known for pioneering work in plant tissue culture, but she is not the awardee asked here. Dr. Rani Chatterjee is not associated with this specific award in the given context. M. Fatima Bibi was a noted jurist and the first woman judge of the Supreme Court of India, not a scientist receiving this research award.

Explanation

As the question was set in the 2024 CET cycle, it refers to the 41st Lokmanya Tilak National Award announced for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who received it in Pune in 2023. Narendra Modi therefore matches the award asked in the stem. Dr. K. Sivan and Dr. Mayilsamy Annadurai are noted for their work in India's space programme, but they are not the named recipient of the 41st award. Amit Shah is a senior political leader, yet the cited award was not conferred on him.

Explanation

Ravi Kannan, an Indian surgical oncologist known for cancer care work in Assam, was among the 2023 Ramon Magsaysay Award recipients, so he matches the question. Kailash Vidyarthi, as printed, is not the Indian named for this award in 2023. Ghazal Alagh is known as an entrepreneur and was not the 2023 Ramon Magsaysay awardee. Gautam Adani is an industrialist and is unrelated to this award. Among the four names, only Ravi Kannan fits the 2023 Ramon Magsaysay Award.

Explanation

As asked in the 2022-cycle CET paper, the honour referred to is the Nari Shakti Puraskar presented around International Women's Day 2022. Batool Begam, a noted Rajasthani folk singer associated with Maand and Sufi devotional singing, was among those recognised. Usha Sharma was a senior Rajasthan cadre administrator, not the answer here. Vasundhara Raje is a former Chief Minister of Rajasthan, and Mamta Chouhan does not match this particular award reference. The published key therefore points correctly to Batool Begam.
