• Areas under the Sixth Schedule, including Bodoland Territorial Region, Karbi Anglong, and Dima Hasao.

Q2:
Which of the following help decide the value of the Indian rupee in the foreign exchange market? 1. Demand and supply of dollars 2. RBI buying or selling dollars 3. Global crude-oil prices 4. US Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions 5. India’s trade balance and capital flows How many of these determine the rupee’s value?
A: Only two
B: Only three
C: Only four
D: All five
Answer: D
Explanation:
If more people want dollars (for imports, travel, etc.), the rupee becomes weaker.
If more dollars come into India (exports, remittances), rupee becomes stronger.
RBI can sell dollars → rupee strengthens.
RBI can buy dollars → rupee weakens.
This helps control sudden ups and downs.
India buys most of its oil from other countries.
If oil becomes expensive → India needs more dollars → rupee falls.
If oil becomes cheaper → rupee strengthens.
US Federal Reserve rates – Affects rupee
If US raises interest rates → investors put money in the US → dollar becomes strong → rupee weakens.
If US cuts rates → more money comes to countries like India → rupee strengthens.
If India imports more than it exports → rupee weakens.
If more foreign investors put money in India → rupee strengthens.
Q3:
With reference to Canada’s new citizenship law (Bill C-3), consider the following statements: 1. The law abolishes the “first-generation limit,” allowing citizenship by descent even for children born abroad to Canadian parents who were themselves born abroad. 2. The revised law grants citizenship only prospectively and does not apply to individuals who were excluded under earlier legislation. 3. For future births abroad, Canadian parents must show a minimum period of physical presence in Canada before the child's birth. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 1 and 3 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
Statement 1 – Correct.
Bill C-3 removes the first-generation limit, meaning even “second-generation abroad” children (i.e., child born abroad to a Canadian parent who was also born abroad) can now obtain citizenship by descent.
Statement 2 – Incorrect.
The law includes retroactive recognition, restoring citizenship to those historically denied. This benefits thousands of “Lost Canadians.” Hence, it does not apply only prospectively.
Statement 3 – Correct.
For future births abroad, the parent must prove 1,095 days (3 years) of physical presence in Canada before the child’s birth/adoption—known as the substantial connection requirement.
Q4:
Consider the following implications of Bill C-3 for Indian-origin families with Canadian citizenship: 1. Children born abroad to Indian-origin Canadian citizens may now obtain Canadian citizenship, provided their parents meet the physical presence requirement. 2. India allows dual citizenship, so children gaining Canadian citizenship can retain Indian citizenship simultaneously. 3. Indian-origin individuals who were previously denied citizenship by descent may now be recognised automatically under retroactive provisions. 4. The new law may encourage greater India–Canada mobility and diaspora consolidation. Which of the above statements are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 1,3 and 4 only
C: 1, 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer: B
Explanation:
Statement 1 – Correct.
With the first-generation limit removed, children born abroad to Indian-origin Canadian parents can now get Canadian citizenship if the parents fulfil the 3-year physical presence rule.
Statement 2 – Incorrect.
India does not permit dual citizenship.
Anyone acquiring Canadian citizenship must surrender Indian citizenship and may obtain OCI status instead.
Statement 3 – Correct.
Bill C-3 includes retroactive citizenship restoration, meaning some Indian-origin “Lost Canadians” barred earlier can now gain recognition automatically.
Statement 4 – Correct.
The reform may promote greater mobility, encourage families to return or reconnect with Canada, and strengthen long-term diaspora networks.
Q5:
With reference to the procedure for selecting the United Nations Secretary-General (UNSG), consider the following statements: 1. A formal nomination can only be made after a joint letter is issued by the Presidents of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) and the UN Security Council (UNSC). 2. A candidate requires at least 9 votes in the UNSC and must avoid a veto by any P5 member to be recommended to the UNGA. 3. The UNGA may reject the candidate recommended by the UNSC and appoint another candidate independently. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 2 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: A
Explanation:
Statement 1 – Correct.
The process begins when the UNGA and UNSC Presidents send a joint letter inviting member states to propose candidates. Formal nominations follow this announcement.
Statement 2 – Correct.
In the Security Council, a candidate needs:
• Minimum 9 votes
• No veto from any of the P5 (US, UK, France, Russia, China)
Only then can the Council recommend a candidate to the UNGA.
Statement 3 – Incorrect.
While the UNGA formally appoints the SG, it almost always accepts the Security Council’s recommendation.
The UNGA cannot appoint someone independently if the UNSC has not recommended them.
(Without UNSC approval, a candidate cannot be appointed.)
