Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) tracking system’
- CEIR system mandates the disclosure of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number before the sale of mobile devices in India
- Department of Telecommunications(DoT) is the implementing body of the CEIR system
- The CEIR system comes with a built-in capability to identify the utilization of cloned mobile devices across various telecom networks
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct One significant aspect of the CEIR system is the mandatory disclosure of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number before the sale of mobile devices in India. The IMEI number, a unique 15-digit identifier, serves as a crucial parameter in preventing the entry of unauthorized mobile phones onto telecom networks. The Centre for Department of Telematics (CDoT), a technology development body, has played a crucial role in the implementation of the CEIR system The CEIR system comes with a built-in capability to identify the utilization of cloned mobile devices across various telecom networks. Cloning involves altering the IMEI number of stolen mobile phones, making them difficult to track and block. However, with the CEIR system’s capabilities, telecom operators can identify and prevent the use of cloned devices on their networks, contributing to improved security and reduced revenue loss. Context – In an effort to combat mobile phone theft and enhance user security, the Indian government is introducing the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) system

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
With reference to ‘Semi-cryogenic Engine’, consider the following statements
- Semi-cryogenic engines are a type of rocket engine that use a combination of liquid and solid propellants
- A semi cryogenic engine is more powerful, environment friendly and cost effective as compare to cryogenic engine
Correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Correct Semi-cryogenic engines are a type of rocket engine that use a combination of liquid and gaseous propellants. They are called “semi-cryogenic” because they operate at temperatures higher than cryogenic engines but still colder than traditional liquid rocket engines. Unlike a Cryogenic engine, a Semi Cryogenic engine uses Refined kerosene instead of liquid hydrogen. The liquid oxygen is used as a Oxidiser. That’s the advantage of using a Semi Cryogenic engine as it requires Refined Kerosene which is lighter than liquid fuel and can be stored in a normal temperature. Kerosene combined with liquid oxygen provide a higher thrust to the rocket. Refined Kerosene occupies less space, making it possible to carry more propellant in a Semi Cryogenic engines fuel compartment. A semi cryogenic engine is more powerful, environment friendly and cost effective as compare to cryogenic engine Context – The Indian Space Research Organisation successfully carried out the first test of a semi-cryogenic engine recently
