Q1Consider the following statements about Ranthambore Tiger Reserve: 1. Ranthambore Tiger Reserve announced plans to deploy GSM cameras for real-time remote surveillance of tigers. 2. Ranthambore Tiger Reserve announced the phasing out of satellite collars in favour of radio-frequency tracking devices. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: Ranthambore Tiger Reserve announced plans to deploy GSM cameras, which transmit data via cellular networks for remote and continuous real-time surveillance of tigers. Statement 2 is incorrect: The reserve is actually deploying satellite collars (not phasing them out) for GPS-based real-time location tracking of individual tigers. Radio-frequency tracking devices were not mentioned in the announcement.

Q2Read the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and choose the correct answer: Assertion (A): Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan is deploying satellite collars to enable GPS-based real-time tracking of individual tigers. Reason (R): India's Project Tiger was launched in 1973 with the primary objective of protecting tigers from extinction across the country.

A Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

B Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

C A is true but R is false

D A is false but R is true

Explanation

Both the Assertion and the Reason are true. Ranthambore is indeed deploying satellite collars for GPS-based real-time tracking of tigers (A is true), and Project Tiger was indeed launched in 1973 to protect tigers from extinction (R is true). However, R is NOT the direct explanation for A. The proximate reason for deploying satellite collars in 2026 is the Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) alert of May 2026 and increasing territorial conflicts among tigers — not the historical 1973 launch of Project Tiger.
