Q2:
Consider the following statements about the Chenab Bridge project: 1. Its height above riverbed exceeds that of both the Qutub Minar and the Eiffel Tower. 2. The bridge can withstand earthquakes and wind speeds exceeding 200 km/h. 3. It is designed to support both passenger and freight trains operating at speeds up to 100 km/h. 4. It is a cable-stayed bridge developed with the assistance of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). How many of the above statements are correct?

B: Only two
C: Only three
D: All four

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. The Chenab Bridge is taller than the Eiffel Tower (359 m vs. 300 m) and supports 100 km/h trains.
Statement 2 is correct—the bridge can withstand wind speeds up to 260 km/h.
Statement 4 is incorrect—it is not a cable-stayed bridge, and no direct involvement of AIIB is noted. It is an arch bridge, developed by Indian agencies including Konkan Railway, IITs, and DRDO.
Q3:
Consider the following statements: Statement 1: The Dhanushkodi lagoon supports rich faunal diversity, including turtles, flamingos, and crustaceans. Which of the following is correct?
Statement 2: The presence of high salinity levels in the lagoon deters plant life and leads to lower biodiversity.
A: Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is its correct explanation.
B: Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is incorrect.
C: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and related.
D: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are incorrect.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Dhanushkodi lagoon indeed hosts a rich array of fauna, particularly due to its brackish (not hypersaline) waters. Statement 2 is incorrect – the presence of mangroves, herbs, and aquatic plants proves that biodiversity is not low. In fact, moderate salinity in brackish wetlands often supports specialised biodiversity.
