Practice questions

Q1Assertion: The required licence for the Jind hydrogen train site was granted by the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation. Reason: The licence related to storage and dispensing of compressed hydrogen gas at the Jind site. Choose the correct answer.

A The Assertion is true, but the Reason is false
B Both the Assertion and the Reason are true, and the Reason correctly identifies the scope of the licence
C Both the Assertion and the Reason are false
D The Assertion is false, but the Reason is true
Explanation

The Assertion is true because the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation granted the required licence. The Reason is also true because the licence was for storage and dispensing of compressed hydrogen gas at the Jind site; it correctly states the scope of that licence. Claims that either statement is false do not match the cited fact.

Q2For the approved indigenous hydrogen fuel cell trainset, which matching correctly identifies the planned section and railway zone?

A Jind-Sonipat section — Western Railway
B Jind-Sonipat section — Northern Railway
C Sonipat-Panipat section — North Western Railway
D Rewari-Rohtak section — Northern Railway
Explanation

The cited fact places the approved trainset on the Jind-Sonipat section of Northern Railway. Pairing Jind-Sonipat with Western Railway keeps the section but changes the zone, Rewari-Rohtak changes the section, and Sonipat-Panipat with North Western Railway changes both the section and the zone.

Q3Assertion: RDSO prepared the technical specification for the Development of Hydrogen Fuel Cell based DPRS 1600 HP DEMU, known as the Hydrogen Train Set. Reason: IROAF, not RDSO, prepared that technical specification. Choose the correct answer.

A Both the Assertion and the Reason are true, but the Reason does not explain the Assertion
B The Assertion is true, but the Reason is false
C Both the Assertion and the Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion
D The Assertion is false, but the Reason is true
Explanation

The Assertion is true because RDSO prepared the technical specification for the Hydrogen Fuel Cell based DPRS 1600 HP DEMU, known as the Hydrogen Train Set. The Reason is false because it shifts that work to IROAF; treating both statements as true, or treating the Assertion as false, conflicts with the cited Year Book fact.

Q4On 7 August 2021, which Indian Railways organisation invited bids for a hydrogen fuel cell-based train on the Indian Railways network?

A Rail India Technical and Economic Service
B Integral Coach Factory
C Indian Railways Organisation of Alternative Fuels
D Research Designs and Standards Organisation
Explanation

The cited PIB release says that the Indian Railways Organisation of Alternative Fuels invited bids on 7 August 2021 for a hydrogen fuel cell-based train on the Indian Railways network. Research Designs and Standards Organisation is a standards and research body, Rail India Technical and Economic Service is a consultancy enterprise, and Integral Coach Factory is a coach-manufacturing unit; none of these is the organisation named in the cited bid invitation.

Q5Assertion: The hydrogen plant conceived at Jind is linked to green hydrogen generation. Reason: The plant produces hydrogen through electrolysis. Choose the correct answer.

A Both the Assertion and the Reason are true, but the Reason does not explain the Assertion
B The Assertion is false, but the Reason is true
C Both the Assertion and the Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion
D The Assertion is true, but the Reason is false
Explanation

The Assertion is true because the Jind plant is described as a green hydrogen generation element. The Reason is also true because the cited fact says the plant produces hydrogen through electrolysis, and electrolysis is the stated key element linking it to green hydrogen generation. Denying the Reason or breaking the explanatory link misreads the sourced fact.

BRecord drive cycles only for the 1200 kW Sonepat-Jind DEMU, then optimise components for all locomotives
CRecord drive cycles for the 1200 kW Sonepat-Jind DEMU and the 700 HP Kalka-Shimla ZDM3 locomotive, then optimise hydrogen power train components
DCertify zero-emission operation first, then record passenger-service data on Kalka-Shimla only
