Q2Consider the following statements about eligibility under the Small and Marginal Old Farmer Samman Pension Yojana: 1. A marginal farmer family may hold cultivable land up to 1 hectare. 2. A small farmer family may hold more than 1 hectare and up to 2 hectares. 3. This farmer-pension category has no income condition. Which of the statements given above are correct?

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

All three statements are correct. The scheme defines a marginal farmer by cultivable land-holding up to 1 hectare and a small farmer by land-holding above 1 hectare but not above 2 hectares. Unlike the general old-age pension category, this farmer pension applies no income condition.

Q3What are the minimum ages prescribed for a woman and a man, respectively, to qualify under the Small and Marginal Old Farmer Samman Pension Yojana?

A 55 years and 58 years

D 55 years and 60 years
Explanation

The scheme uses sex-specific minimum ages: a woman belonging to an eligible small or marginal farmer family must be at least 55 years old, while a man must be at least 58 years old. Thus the correct ordered pair is 55 years and 58 years.

Q4Which constitutional provision provides the policy basis for Rajasthan's Small and Marginal Old Farmer Samman Pension Yojana?

A Article 39A
B Article 41
C Article 43A
D Article 48A
Explanation

Article 41 is a Directive Principle of State Policy that directs the State, within its capacity, to provide public assistance in cases including old age, sickness and disablement. That old-age assistance mandate supplies the stated constitutional policy basis for this Rajasthan pension.

Q5Which one of the following statements about administration of the Small and Marginal Old Farmer Samman Pension Yojana is incorrect?

A Revenue authorities verify the family's land-holding certificate online.
B In rural areas, sanction is linked to the Block Development Officer.
C In urban areas, sanction is linked to the Sub-Divisional Officer.
D The scheme is jointly funded in equal shares by the Union and Rajasthan governments.
Explanation

The equal-sharing claim is incorrect. This is a fully Rajasthan-funded social-security pension with no Union government share. The other statements correctly describe online land verification by revenue authorities and the rural and urban sanction roles of the Block Development Officer and Sub-Divisional Officer.
