Current Affairs MCQs for UPSC & State PSC Exams

Q1:

Which of the following statements about blood clotting and oxidative stress are correct?

1.      Platelets help the body stop bleeding by forming clots.

2.      Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are harmful molecules that can over-activate platelets.

3.      Thrombosis is caused by the absence of clotting factors in blood.

4.      Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is linked to abnormal blood clotting.

A: Only two

B: Only three

C: All four

D: Only one

Answer: B

Explanation:

Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct. Platelets are responsible for forming clots during injury. ROS are harmful molecules that, in excess, can over-activate platelets and trigger unwanted clotting. PTE is a serious condition caused by abnormal clotting inside the lungs. Statement 3 is incorrect because thrombosis is not caused by a lack of clotting factors, but rather excessive or uncontrolled clotting, often due to oxidative stress. Thus, only three statements are correct.


                            

Q2:

Consider the following statements regarding the objectives of Chhattisgarh’s Homestay Policy 2025–30:

  1. It aims to mainstream conflict-affected regions through community-based tourism.
  2. It encourages capital-intensive infrastructure projects in ecologically sensitive tribal zones.
  3. It promotes cultural exchange while reducing seasonal migration from rural areas.
  4. It is expected to contribute to counter-insurgency efforts by involving youth in tourism-linked livelihoods.

How many of the above statements are correct?

A: Only two

B: Only three

C: All four

D: Only one

Answer: B

Explanation:

Statements 1, 3, and 4 are correct. The policy uses tourism as soft power to bring conflict-hit areas like Bastar into the development mainstream (1), creates alternate livelihoods to reduce migration (3), and also serves a trust-building function in insurgency-affected zones (4).
Statement 2 is wrong — the policy avoids capital-intensive or ecologically harmful development, instead opting for low-impact homestays.
Thus, only three are correct.


                            

Q3:

Sanctuary/WetlandState

  1. Sakkarakottai Bird Sanctuary — Tamil Nadu
  2. Khecheopalri Wetland — Sikkim
  3. Udhwa Lake — Jharkhand
  4. Khichan Wetland — Gujarat

Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?


A: 1, 2 and 3 only

B: 1, 3 and 4 only

C: 2 and 4 only

D: All four

Answer: A

Explanation:

Sakkarakottai Bird Sanctuary is correctly located in Tamil Nadu, one of the new state-notified bird reserves. Khecheopalri Wetland is a sacred high-altitude lake in West Sikkim, now part of India’s Ramsar sites. Udhwa Lake is the only bird sanctuary in Jharkhand. However, Khichan is not in Gujarat—it is in Phalodi, Rajasthan—famous for hosting tens of thousands of demoiselle cranes. Therefore, only pairs 1, 2, and 3 are correctly matched.


                            

Q4:

Why is the doctrine of separation of powers important in the context of law-making and judicial authority?


A: It allows courts to control the legislature.

B: It protects legislative sovereignty while respecting judicial review.

C: It gives the executive absolute authority over laws.

D: It removes the need for judicial review of laws.

Answer: B

Explanation:

The separation of powers maintains a balance between the legislature’s sovereign law-making role and the judiciary’s authority to review laws for constitutionality. This prevents any branch from dominating others, preserving democratic governance and ensuring that laws are made through proper legislative processes but can be constitutionally challenged in courts.

  3. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) portal allows registration of plastic waste processors.

Select the correct answer using the code below:

A: 1 and 2 only

C: 2 and 3 only

D: 1, 2 and 3

Answer: B

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct. The ban on <120 micron bags started in 2022.
Statement 2 is incorrect — FSSAI mandates food-grade safe plastics and prohibits recycled plastics in direct food contact.
Statement 3 is correct — the centralized EPR portal tracks producers and processors for compliance and accountability.
