Practice Questions

Q1. 1. Actions under GRAP Stages II, III and IV may be invoked in advance of AQI reaching the projected level of that stage. 2. Advance invocation is based only on past AQI data, not on weather or meteorological forecasts. 3. Restrictions of previous GRAP stages continue when a higher stage is invoked. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only
B 2 and 3 only
C 1 and 3 only Correct
D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because the schedule allows advance invocation of Stages II-IV. Statement 2 is incorrect: the trigger uses dynamic modelling and IMD/IITM weather or meteorological forecasts. Statement 3 is correct because restrictions from previous stages continue along with the invoked higher-stage actions.

Q2. Consider the following statements about Stage III of GRAP: 1. Stage III corresponds to 'Severe' air quality with Delhi AQI ranging between 401 and 450. 2. Under Stage III, operations of stone crushers in the entire NCR are to be closed down. 3.

A 1 and 2 only Correct
B 1 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statement 1 is true because Stage III is the Severe band of Delhi AQI 401-450. Statement 2 is true because Stage III includes closure of stone crushers in the entire NCR.

A 1 and 2 only Correct
B 2 and 3 only
C 1 and 3 only

A 1 and 2 only Correct
B 1 and 3 only

Resident Welfare Associations are to provide electric heaters to certain staff to avoid open biomass or MSW burning during winters. 3.
