International Chemistry Olympiad MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Solve 2 International Chemistry Olympiad questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.

Practice questions

Q1Consider the following statements about India’s performance at the 58th International Chemistry Olympiad: 1. The Indian team won four gold medals. 2. The Prime Minister described it as India’s second-best performance at the competition. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: the four-member Indian team won four gold medals. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Prime Minister described the result as India’s best-ever performance at the competition, not its second-best.

Q2Assertion: India recorded its best-ever performance at the 58th International Chemistry Olympiad. Reason: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the achievement would inspire countless young minds to study chemistry and excel in it.

A Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

C Assertion is correct, but Reason is incorrect

D Assertion is incorrect, but Reason is correct

Explanation

Both statements are correct. India’s four-gold result was its best performance at the competition, and the Prime Minister said it would inspire young minds. However, the expected inspiration is a consequence of the achievement, not an explanation of why the performance was India’s best. Therefore, option B is correct.
