It was discovered in a tropical rainforest in eastern India. 4. It belongs to the Ichneumonidae family. How many of the above statements are correct?
A: Only one
B: Only two
C: Only three
D: All four
Answer: B
Explanation:
Statements 1 and 4 are correct: Losgna occidentalis is a newly described parasitic wasp in the Ichneumonidae family. Statement 2 is incorrect—the genus was earlier recorded in India but not since 1965, so this is a rediscovery, not a first occurrence. Statement 3 is also incorrect—the wasp was found in an urban dry scrub forest in Chandigarh, not in a tropical rainforest of eastern India.

1. It aims to reflect solar radiation back into space to reduce global temperatures. 2. It draws inspiration from the natural cooling effects of volcanic eruptions. 3. Sulphur dioxide is the primary chemical used in SAI. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
With reference to Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), consider the following statements:
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 2 and 3 only
C: 1 and 3 only
D: 1, 2 and 3
Answer: D
Explanation:
SAI is a form of geoengineering that uses sulphur dioxide (SO₂) aerosols to reflect sunlight and cool the planet — mimicking the natural cooling from volcanic eruptions like Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. It involves injecting these particles into the stratosphere using aircraft. All three statements are correct.
Q5:
With reference to the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), consider the following statements: Which of the above statements is/are correct?
A: 1 only
B: 1 and 2 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2 and 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is a comprehensive measure of poverty that goes beyond income and captures deprivations across three dimensions: health (nutrition, child mortality), education (years of schooling, school attendance), and living standards (electricity, sanitation, cooking fuel, etc.). India made remarkable progress, with MPI falling from 53.8% in 2005-06 to 16.4% in 2019-21, and further to 15.5% by 2022-23. This decline reflects enhanced access to healthcare, education, and basic infrastructure. Statement 3 is incorrect because MPI is not based on income alone. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
