Power Sector MCQ — 101 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The cited POWERup Q1 2025 highlights give 16.7 percent as the growth in India's nuclear power generation from Q1 2024 to Q1 2025. The figures 12.5 percent, 15.0 percent and 18.4 percent are close numerical distractors, but they are not the growth rate stated for this nuclear-power comparison.

Explanation

The correct dated entry is 30 March 2026 with distribution infrastructure works worth Rs 2.83 lakh crore sanctioned under RDSS. Moving the same figure to 30 March 2025 changes the as-of date. Using Rs 1.83 lakh crore or Rs 2.38 lakh crore changes the sanctioned amount, and 31 March 2026 is not the date given in the cited fact.

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because the cited fact records India's non-fossil fuel power capacity at 228 GW in Q1 2025. Statement 2 shifts the timing to Q1 2024, and Statement 3 changes the unit from GW to MW, so combinations containing those statements do not match the cited fact.

Explanation

The projected 25-year outcome pairs electricity generation with 1,000 BU and CO2-equivalent emission reduction with 72 crore tonnes. Treating 720 as BU is wrong because the cited reduction is an emissions quantity, not electricity generation. Pairing generation with 72 crore tonnes confuses an electricity quantity with an emissions quantity.

Explanation

The PIB release states that RDSS had sanctioned smart-metering works for 2.11 lakh feeders and 52.53 lakh distribution transformers by 30 March 2026. Reversing these two figures misassigns the asset categories, while the 20.33 crore and 4.69 crore figures relate to smart meters rather than feeder or distribution-transformer works.
