Q1On which date did the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approve the increase in Minimum Support Prices for 14 Kharif crops for Marketing Season 2025-26?
Explanation
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved the MSP increase for 14 Kharif crops on 28 May 2025. The decision applies to Marketing Season 2025-26, so 28 May 2025 is the only date that matches both the official approval and the relevant season.
Q2Match List I with List II for the MSP increase over 2024-25 in Marketing Season 2025-26: List I (Crop): 1. Ragi, 2. Cotton, 3. Sesamum, 4. Nigerseed List II (Increase per quintal): a. ₹579, b. ₹820, c. ₹596, d. ₹589 Select the correct code.
Explanation
The official crop-wise increases are ragi ₹596, cotton ₹589, sesamum ₹579 and nigerseed ₹820 per quintal. Therefore, the correct matching is 1-c, 2-d, 3-a and 4-b. Each alternative code reverses at least two of these explicit crop–value pairs.
Q3Which one of the following statements about the MSP increase over 2024-25 for Kharif crops in Marketing Season 2025-26 is incorrect?
Explanation
Option C is incorrect because medium-staple cotton received an MSP increase of ₹589 per quintal, rising from ₹7,121 in 2024-25 to ₹7,710 in 2025-26. The ₹579 increase belongs to sesamum. The other three crop–increase pairs match the official table.
Q4Consider the following statements about the estimated margin over production cost under the Kharif MSP decision for Marketing Season 2025-26: 1. Bajra has the highest estimated margin at 63%. 2. Maize and tur each have an estimated margin of 59%. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
Both statements are correct. Bajra has the highest estimated margin over production cost at 63%. Maize and tur follow with an estimated margin of 59% each. Thus, the crop ranking and every percentage printed in the two statements match the official figures.
Q5Which Kharif crop received the highest absolute MSP increase over 2024-25 for Marketing Season 2025-26, and by how much per quintal?
Explanation
Nigerseed recorded the largest absolute MSP increase for Marketing Season 2025-26 at ₹820 per quintal. It was followed by ragi at ₹596, cotton at ₹589 and sesamum at ₹579 per quintal, which proves that the nigerseed–₹820 pair is correct.
