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 ‘Central Consumer Protection Authority’
- It is a statutory body constituted under the Consumer Protection Act of 2019
- The CCPA unlike the Councils or the Commissions is neither a purely regulatory, advisory nor policy making body
- The CCPA also has the power to review safeguards provided under laws other than the Consumer Protection Act, 2019
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Correct The CCPA is a statutory body constituted under Section 10 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The CCPA, unlike the Councils or the Commissions is neither a purely regulatory, advisory nor policy making body, nor is entirely adjudicatory & quasi judicial in nature. The CCPA also has the power to review safeguards provided under laws other than the Act, 2019 and recommend remedial measures for such factors which inhibit enjoyment of consumer rights.It may also identify best international practices on consumer rights and recommend adoption of international covenants. Context – Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has notified new guidelines for stopping misleading advertisements across all platforms

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements regarding ‘Monkeypox’
- It is a virus endemic to West and Central Africa
- The virus is also spread from person-to-person through sexual contact
- No vaccine presently has proven effective against the virus
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Incorrect Monkeypox is an infectious viral disease that can occur in both humans and some other animal.Monkeypox is endemic to West and Central Afric Cases have mainly but not exclusively been identified amongst men who have sex with men (MSM), but health authorities emphasized that anyone can catch the disease, particularly if they have close contact with a symptomatic person. Smallpox vaccines containing vaccinia such as Imvanex (Jynneos) can provide around 85% effectiveness against monkeypox. Context – WHO issued guidelines regarding Monkeypox recently

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following applications
- Nuclear fusion
- Astro-chemistry
- Neuron network
- Transistors
- Biology
Which of the applications mentioned above can be performed using ‘Quantum Tunneling’
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Statement 4 Statement 5 Correct Correct Correct Correct Correct Quantum tunneling is an essential phenomenon for nuclear fusion. The temperature in stellar cores is generally insufficient to allow atomic nuclei to overcome the Coulomb barrier and achieve thermonuclear fusion. By including quantum tunneling, the astrochemical syntheses of various molecules in interstellar clouds can be explained, such as the synthesis of molecular hydrogen, water (ice) and the prebiotic important formaldehyde Using the phenomenon of quantum tunnelling, IIT Bombay researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, a spiking neuron network that is highly compact and shows potential for brain-scale implementation. A European research project demonstrated field effect transistors in which the gate (channel) is controlled via quantum tunneling rather than by thermal injection, reducing gate voltage from ≈1 volt to 0.2 volts and reducing power consumption by up to 100×. If these transistors can be scaled up into VLSI chips, they would improve the performance per power of integrated circuits. Quantum tunneling is among the central non-trivial quantum effects in quantum biology. Here it is important both as electron tunneling and proton tunneling. Electron tunneling is a key factor in many biochemical redox reactions (photosynthesis, cellular respiration) as well as enzymatic catalysis. Proton tunneling is a key factor in spontaneous DNA mutation Context – IIT Bombay team has designed the first spiking neuro-synaptic core on 45 nanometre silicon-on-insulator technology
