Q1Consider the following statements about the Venus Orbiter Mission approved by the Union Cabinet in 2024. 1. It was approved on September 18, 2024. 2. It aims to place a scientific spacecraft in orbit around Venus. 3. Its stated studies include Venus's surface, subsurface, atmospheric processes and solar influence. Which statements are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because the Cabinet approved the Venus Orbiter Mission on September 18, 2024. Statement 2 is correct because the mission is to orbit a scientific spacecraft around Venus. Statement 3 is correct because the stated study areas are the surface, subsurface, atmospheric processes and solar influence. Combinations that omit any of these statements leave out a part of the cited approval note.
Q2Which ISRO centre is responsible for remote sensing satellite data acquisition, processing, dissemination, aerial remote sensing and disaster-management decision support?
The National Remote Sensing Centre at Hyderabad is the ISRO centre identified with remote sensing satellite data acquisition, processing, dissemination, aerial remote sensing and disaster-management decision support. The Space Applications Centre works on space applications and payloads, the U R Rao Satellite Centre is associated with satellite building, and the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre is associated with launch-vehicle work, so those descriptions do not match the cited NRSC function.
Q3Assertion: The Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre is ISRO's centre for the design, development and realisation of liquid propulsion stages for launch vehicles. Reason: Liquid propulsion stages are the same as remote sensing satellite data acquisition and dissemination services. Choose the correct answer.
The Assertion is true: the cited LPSC fact states that the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre is ISRO's centre for the design, development and realisation of liquid propulsion stages for launch vehicles. The Reason is false because liquid propulsion stages are propulsion hardware for launch vehicles, not satellite data acquisition and dissemination services. Therefore the Assertion stands, but the Reason does not.
Q4Match the current approval details for the first module of the Bharatiya Antariksh Station with the figures stated in the PIB answer dated 25 March 2026. List I 1. Estimated cost under the current approval 2. Approved four-year period List II a. Rs 1763 crore b. 2025 to 2028 c. Rs 2018 crore d. 2024 to 2027 Which code is correct?
The correct pairing is estimated cost under the current approval with Rs 1763 crore, and the approved four-year period with 2025 to 2028. Rs 2018 crore is not the cited estimate for this approval, and 2024 to 2027 is not the cited four-year period.
Q5Assertion: The Union Cabinet approved Chandrayaan-4 on 18 September 2024. Reason: Chandrayaan-4 is intended to demonstrate technologies for returning to Earth after landing on the Moon and for collecting and analysing lunar samples. Which of the following is correct?
The Assertion is true because the Cabinet approval date for Chandrayaan-4 was 18 September 2024. The Reason is also true because the mission is meant to demonstrate return-to-Earth technology after a Moon landing and lunar sample collection and analysis. However, those mission objectives do not explain the exact approval date; they describe what Chandrayaan-4 is intended to demonstrate. Claims that the Reason is false or that the Assertion is false contradict the cited fact.
