Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following pairs: River Flows into
- Mekong : Andaman Sea
- Thames : Irish Sea
- Volga : Caspian Sea
- Zambezi : Indian Ocean
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Correct
Solution (c)
The Mekong River connects six countries in Southeast Asia and flows through six distinct geographical regions, each with characteristic features of elevation, topography, and land cover. It originates on the Tibetan Plateau and flows down to the mountainous area through the Yunnan Province in the Hengduan Mountains. After leaving China, it forms the border between Laos and Myanmar (Burma) for roughly 62 miles. It then creates the border between Thailand and Laos, and flows east and south into Laos for roughly 250 miles. It finally discharges into the South China Sea.
The River Thames is the longest river in England, flowing 215 miles from the Cotswolds to the North Sea.
Rising in the Valdai Hills northwest of Moscow, the Volga discharges into the Caspian Sea, some 2,193 miles (3,530 kilometres) to the south.
The Zambezi River flows eastwards for about 3000 km from its sources to the Indian Ocean.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
“The crop is subtropical in nature. A hard frost is injurious to it. It requires at least 210 frost -free days and 50 to 100 centimeters of rainfall for its growth. A light well -drained soil capable of retaining moisture is ideally suited for the cultivation of the crop.” Which one of the following is that crop?
Correct
Solution (a)
Cotton needs a warm climate. Summer temperatures of 21°C to 27°C and abundant sunshine are necessary during the growth of the plant. A long growing period of at least 210 frost-free days is also necessary for the plant to mature.
Moderate to light rainfall is adequate for cotton cultivation. Rainfall ranging between 50 cm to 80 cm is adequate. The crop can be successfully grown in areas of low rainfall with the help of irrigation.
Cotton can be grown on a variety of soils but the black cotton soil of the Deccan Plateau which has the ability to retain moisture is most suitable. It also grows well in alluvial soils of the Satluj-Ganga Plain.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
With reference to pulse production in India, consider the following statements:
- Black gram can be cultivated as both kharif and rabi crop.
- Green-gram alone accounts for nearly half of pulse production.
- In the last three decades, while the production of kharif pulses has increased the production of rabi pulses has decreased.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Solution (a)
Black gram can be cultivated as both kharif and rabi crop. It is consumed in variety of ways accross the North to Southin preparation of differnent regular and popular dishes like vada, idli, dosa etc. During kharif, it is cultivated throughout the country.
Green-gram alone accounts for nearly 8% of pulse production.
In the last three decades, the production of Kharif Pulses and Rabi Pulses do not give us any specific trend.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements:
- Jet streams occur in the Northern Hemisphere only.
- Only some cyclones develop an eye.
- The temperature inside the eye of a cyclone is nearly 10°C lesser than that of the surroundings.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Solution (c)
Jet Streams flow in both the hemispheres. Jet streams travel in the tropopause—the area between the troposphere and the stratosphere—at heights of about 5 to 9 miles (8 to 15 kilometers). The strong air currents, which tend to look like wavy, striated rivers when seen on a jet stream map, form when cold air and hot air meet.
The eye is a region of mostly calm weather at the center of strong tropical cyclones. It is not associated with temperate cyclones. An eye will usually develop when the maximum sustained wind speeds go above 74 mph (119 km/h) and is the calmest part of the storm.
Eye is an area of low pressure and high temperature. The eye is the region of lowest surface pressure and warmest temperatures aloft – the eye temperature may be 10°C warmer or more at an altitude of 12 km than the surrounding environment, but only 0-2°C warmer at the surface in the tropical cyclone.
