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.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
With reference to ‘International Seabed Authority’, consider the following statements
- It is a specialized agency of the United Nations established under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)
- ISA aims to protect the ecosystem of the seabed, ocean floor and subsoil in the Area beyond national jurisdiction
- The “Mining Code” has been framed by the ISA to regulate prospecting, exploration and exploitation of marine minerals in the international seabed Area
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Incorrect Correct Correct The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is an autonomous international organization established under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Agreement relating to the Implementation of Part XI of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1994 Agreement). It is an observer at the United Nations. The ISA’s dual mission is to authorize and control development of mineral related operations in the international seabedconsidered the “common heritage of all mankind”and also protect the ecosystem of the seabed, ocean floor and subsoil in “The Area” beyond national jurisdiction. The “Mining Code” refers to the whole of the comprehensive set of rules, regulations and procedures issued by ISA to regulate prospecting, exploration and exploitation of marine minerals in the international seabed Area, or the “Area” (defined as the seabed and ocean floor and subsoil thereof beyond the limits of national jurisdiction). Context – International Seabed Authority and M/o Earth Sciences exchange PMN (Polymetallic Nodules) exploration extension contract

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements
- A qubit (quantum bit) can represent any proportion of 0 and 1 in superposition of both states but not 0 and 1
- Quantum coherence refers to a situation in which two or more particles are linked in a such a way each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Incorrect A qubit (or quantum bit) is the quantum mechanical analogue of a classical bit. A classical binary bit can only represent a single binary value, such as 0 or 1. A qubit, however, can represent a 0, a 1, or any proportion of 0 and 1 in superposition of both states. In quantum computing the information is encoded in qubits. Quantum entanglement refers to a situation in which two or more particles are linked in a such a way each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others. Quantum coherence deals with the idea that all objects have wave-like properties. It states that, if an object’s wave-like nature is split in two, then the two waves may coherently interfere with each other in such a way as to form a single state that is a superposition of the two states. Context – An international team of scientists has made a breakthrough in retaining the quantum coherence of quantum dot spin qubits.

- The recommendations of the Finance Commission are not binding on the government and the members are not eligible for re-appointment
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Incorrect The Finance Commission is constituted by the President under article 280 of the Constitution. It is constituted at the end of every fifth year or earlier, as the deemed necessary by the President. Finance Commission (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1951 was passed by the Parliament to determine the requisite qualifications for appointment as members of the Commission and the procedure of their selection. Every member will be in office for the time period as specified in the order of the President and is eligible for reappointment. The recommendations of the Finance Commission are not binding on the government. Context – The Central government will soon start off the process to set up the Sixteenth Finance Commission
