National Technology Day MCQ — 51 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The correct pairing is: Technology Development Board celebrates 11 May every year as National Technology Day, and it does so on behalf of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The Department of Space and the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research are plausible science bodies, but they are not named in the cited fact for this role.

Explanation

Regional Rayleigh-wave analysis is cited as giving a total yield of 49 to 52 kt for the May 11, 1998 tests. The 58 to 63 kt figure belongs to the average mb(Lg) magnitude method, 58 kt belongs to close-in acceleration data comparison, and 13 plus/minus 3 kt is the fission-device yield from BARC measurements.

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because the Technology Development Board introduced the National Award for Start-Up from 2017 onward. Statement 3 is correct because the award is meant to promote start-up technologies with commercialization potential. Statement 2 is wrong because the SSI-unit reference belongs to the second National Technology Award category introduced in 2000, not to the start-up award fact being tested here.

Explanation

The Assertion is true because National Technology Day recognises successful commercialisation. The Reason is also true because the same cited fact links commercialisation with research outcomes reaching people at large. Treating the Reason as false or unrelated misses that direct purpose, while denying the Assertion contradicts the cited fact.

Explanation

The correct sequence is introduction in 2000 for SSI units, followed later by renaming as the MSME Award. A sequence that puts the MSME renaming before the SSI introduction reverses the timeline. A start-up introduction in 2017 belongs to a different award category. A sequence beginning with MSME units in 2000 and ending with an SSI renaming swaps both the original category and the later name.
