IASbaba Daily Prelims Quiz
For Previous Daily Quiz (ARCHIVES) – CLICK HERE
The Current Affairs questions are based on sources like ‘The Hindu’, ‘Indian Express’ and ‘PIB’, which are very important sources for UPSC Prelims Exam. The questions are focused on both the concepts and facts. The topics covered here are generally different from what is being covered under ‘Daily Current Affairs/Daily News Analysis (DNA) and Daily Static Quiz’ to avoid duplication. The questions would be published from Monday to Saturday before 2 PM. One should not spend more than 10 minutes on this initiative.
Gear up and Make the Best Use of this initiative.
Do remember that, “the difference between Ordinary and EXTRA-Ordinary is PRACTICE!!”

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements regarding ‘India based Neutrino Observatory’
- The main experiment proposed at INO is the Iron-Calorimeter Detector which aims to probe the Earth matter effects on the propagation of atmospheric neutrinos
- The magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL) experimental of the INO is expected to include the world’s largest magnet.
- It is a multi-institute collaboration jointly headed by Department of Atomic Energy,India and CERN, France
Select the correct statements
Correct
Solution(b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Incorrect The main experiment proposed at INO is the Iron-Calorimeter Detector which aims to probe the Earth matter effects on the propagation of atmospheric neutrinos and to determine neutrino oscillation parameters in the 2-3 oscillation sector. On completion, the main 51000 ton magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL) experimental of the INO is expected to include the world’s largest magnet. This magnet will be four times larger than the 12,500-tonne magnet currently in the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland It is a multi-institute collaboration but not jointly headed by Department of Atomic Energy,India and CERN, France Source: https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tn-says-no-in-supreme-court-to-neutrino-observatory-project/article65059219.ece

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements
- Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is the leading cause of mosquito-borne encephalitis in South-East Asia and there is no cure available for JEV
- Antibody detection in the case of detecting JEV is immediate but is often misdiagnosed as Dengue
- NS1 is a protein which acts as a biomarker to identify JEV
Choose the correct statements
Correct
Solution(c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is the leading cause of mosquito-borne encephalitis in South-East Asia and Western Pacific. Since there is no cure available for JEV, early detection is essential to mitigate a breakout. Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is often misdiagnosed as Dengue but on the other hand, antibodies appear only after Day 4/5 of the infection . Detection of the NS1 instead of antibody has an added advantage since the antigen is present from day 1 of the infection and hence facilitates early detection Non-Structural 1 (NS1) secretory protein, which is suitable biomarker for JEV found circulating in the blood and has been reported to elicit an immune response Source: https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1799063

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
With reference to ‘National Hydrogen Mission’, consider the following statements
- Green hydrogen/green ammonia shall be defined as hydrogen /ammonia produced by way of electrolysis of water using renewable energy including biomass
- The Mission aims in meeting the target of production of 10 million tonnes of Green hydrogen by 2030
Choose the correct statements
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect Green hydrogen/green ammonia shall be defined as hydrogen /ammonia produced by way of electrolysis of water using renewable energy; including renewable energy which has been banked and the hydrogen/ammonia produced from biomass The Mission aims to aid the government in meeting its climate targets and making India a green hydrogen hub. This will help in meeting the target of production of 5 million tonnes of Green hydrogen by 2030 and the related development of renewable energy capacity.
