C Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh

D Jaipur, Rajasthan

Explanation

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana was launched at Ballia in Uttar Pradesh on 1 May 2016. Aurangabad is linked to a later milestone: the 8 croreth connection was handed over there on 7 September 2019. Thus, Ballia is the only correct choice.

A A 17-year-old woman from a poor household with no existing household LPG connection

Explanation

The applicant must be a woman who has attained 18 years of age, must belong to a poor household on the prescribed deprivation declaration, and no member of that household may already hold an LPG connection from any Oil Marketing Company. Only option B meets all three conditions.

D Neither 1 nor 2

Both statements are correct. The 8 crore connection target was met on 7 September 2019, about seven months before the March 2020 timeline. Ujjwala 2.0 then began in August 2021, and its initial 1 crore additional-connection target was achieved in January 2022.

Q4Match List I with List II and select the correct answer. List I (Milestone): a. Phase 1 target of 8 crore connections achieved; b. Ujjwala 2.0 launched; c.

B a-1, b-4, c-3, d-2

C a-4, b-2, c-1, d-3

D a-3, b-1, c-4, d-2

Explanation

The correct sequence is a-4, b-1, c-2, d-3. The 8 crore Phase 1 target was achieved in September 2019; Ujjwala 2.0 began in August 2021; its initial 1 crore target was met in January 2022; and the expanded 1.60 crore target was completed in December 2022.

Q5Which of the following statements about benefits and subsidy under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana is incorrect?

A The deposit-free connection includes the cylinder security deposit, pressure regulator, safety hose, consumer card booklet and installation charges.

B Under Ujjwala 2.0, the first refill and a two-burner stove are provided free of cost.

C For FY 2025-26, the targeted subsidy is ₹300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 9 refills, with proportionate support for 5 kg cylinders.

D The FY 2025-26 subsidy of ₹300 per 14.2 kg cylinder is available for up to 12 refills.

Explanation

Option D is incorrect because the approved FY 2025-26 benefit is ₹300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 9 refills, not 12. The support is proportionately pro-rated for 5 kg cylinders, and the Cabinet-approved expenditure for the year is ₹12,000 crore.
