Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects (NEOs). In September 2022, a space probe is set to deliberately crash into the minor-planet moon Dimorphos of the double asteroid Didymos to assess the future potential of a spacecraft impact to deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth through a transference of momentum. DART is a joint project between NASA and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) Correct – DART Mission was launched

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
With reference to ‘Coal Gasification’, consider the following statements
- Coal gasification is a process in which coal is partially oxidized with air, oxygen, steam or carbon dioxide
- Coal gasification does not leave any by-product and is eco-friendly
- The syngas technology allows conversion of non-mineable coal/lignite into combustible gases
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct. Select the appropriate answer using the code given below.
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct Gasification of coal is a process in which coal is partially oxidated by air, oxygen, steam or carbon dioxide under controlled conditions to produce a fuel gas. The by-products coal gasification slag and fly ash are formed in the gasifier reaction vessel and differ clearly from bottom ash and fly ash from pulverized coal-fired boilers. The process emits a lot of greenhouse gases. The syngas technology allows conversion of non-mineable coal/lignite into combustible gases through in situ gasification of the material. Context – A blueprint for the ‘National Coal Gasification Mission’ was prepared
