Practice questions
Q1Which of the following correctly matches a Twelfth Schedule expression with its status under municipal functions?
The correct match is slum improvement and upgradation with a listed municipal function. Slum survey and notification, slum eviction and demolition, and slum taxation and revenue recovery are plausible urban-administration phrases, but they are not the exact Twelfth Schedule municipal function tested by the sourced fact.
Q2Assertion: DAY-NULM aims to reduce poverty and vulnerability of urban poor households. Reason: The mission supports self-employment and skilled wage employment through grassroots institutions. Choose the correct answer.
The Assertion matches the PIB fact that DAY-NULM aims to reduce poverty and vulnerability of urban poor households. The Reason is also part of the same fact, because self-employment and skilled wage employment supported by grassroots institutions are the stated means for that aim. Calling either part false contradicts the cited description, and saying the Reason does not explain the Assertion misses the link between livelihood support and reduced vulnerability.
Q3For the Q3 phase of Swachh Survekshan 2024, which chronological detail is correct?
The correct chronological detail is commencement on 5 July 2024, with the assessment focused on the waste-management value chain at Bulk Waste Generators within ULB jurisdictions. A 5 June 2024 state-capital ranking, a 15 July 2024 property-tax assessment, and a 25 June 2015 housing-programme launch are not the Q3 Swachh Survekshan 2024 detail cited here.
Q4According to the operational guidelines release, what is SBM-U 2.0 designed to achieve?
SBM-U 2.0 is designed to make all cities Garbage Free and to manage grey and black water in cities not covered by AMRUT. Metro-rail capital grants, a merger of AMRUT with the Smart Cities Mission, and financing only SEBI-framework municipal green bonds are not the stated design objective in the cited release.
Q5Arrange the following terms in the order in which they form the Twelfth Schedule municipal function tested here: 1. Alleviation 2. Urban 3. Poverty
The sourced Twelfth Schedule expression is urban poverty alleviation. Poverty urban alleviation and urban alleviation poverty disturb the order of the expression, while alleviation of urban poverty changes the phrasing rather than preserving the listed wording tested here.
