Practice questions
Q1Statement 1: D. Gukesh is associated with chess and the World Chess Champion frame in 2024. Statement 2: Manu Bhaker is associated with shooting, while Neeraj Chopra is associated with athletics and javelin throw. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Person-based current affairs should be read by role, field and achievement. D. Gukesh is linked with chess and the World Chess Champion frame in 2024. Manu Bhaker is linked with shooting, and Neeraj Chopra is linked with athletics, specifically javelin throw. The trap in such questions is to flatten every name into a general sportsperson label. Here all three names are tied to the correct fields, so both statements stand.
Q2The SHRESHTA Scheme, launched by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, is associated with ___________.
SHRESHTA is an education-linked scheme of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. It is aimed at improving access to quality schooling for targeted students, especially from Scheduled Caste communities, through selected residential schools. Farmers are covered under separate agriculture and income-support schemes, not SHRESHTA. Army personnel are served through defence welfare arrangements. Tribes are an important welfare category, but this particular scheme is not framed as a tribal-development programme; the tested association is with students.
Q3Which statement about Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan 2.0 is incorrect?
Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan 2.0 is the Rajasthan water-conservation anchor. It is framed around water-harvesting structures, groundwater recharge, check dams, anicuts, farm ponds, watershed work and drought-prone villages. A subsidised cooked-meal scheme for urban poor and needy persons is Shri Annapurna Rasoi Yojana, not Jal Swavlamban. The incorrect statement changes the sector from water conservation to cooked meals.
Q4Match List I with List II and choose the correct code. List I: 1. PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana 2. Jal Jeevan Mission 3. Ujjwala 4. Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY List II: a. Clean-cooking LPG connection b. Household rooftop solar and electricity bill relief c. Rural household tap-water service d. Health protection for hospital treatment
One should read schemes by beneficiary and delivery tool. PM Surya Ghar is tied to household rooftop solar and electricity bill relief. Jal Jeevan Mission is about functional tap-water connections for rural households. Ujjwala is the clean-cooking LPG connection scheme. Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY is linked with health protection for hospital treatment. These four cues separate energy, water service, clean cooking and health cover, so the matching sequence is household solar, rural tap water, LPG connection and hospital-treatment protection.
Q5Consider the following statements. Statement 1: National Voters' Day is observed on 25 January and is linked with electoral awareness. Statement 2: Rajasthan Day is observed on 30 March and is linked with the formation of the State. Which of the statements is/are correct?
National Voters' Day is observed on 25 January and is linked with electoral awareness. They also state that Rajasthan Day is observed on 30 March and belongs to the formation of the State. Important-day questions should be revised as date, day and reason together, not as a bare calendar list. Since both statements give the correct date and the correct reason, both are correct.
