Question 1 of 5
1. Question
‘C3iVazra’ seen in news is related to
Correct
Solution(a)
The Security Operation Centre (SoC) titled C3iVazra has protected the computers that monitor the highways across the country and has alerted about potential dangers. C3iVazra provides supervisory monitoring by gathering the real-time event, and log feeds from the endpoints, packet data from the network and the internet, and processes these feeds to generate threat intelligence and ensure network security of the organization. Major benefits of this solution are increased efficiency in incident response, reduced impact of security breaches, better reporting and notification, log analysis, and retention.
Context – A surveillance system installed at the National Highways Authority of India headquarters at Dwarka keeps track of the health of all the computers in its network, flagging attempts to hack into the system, malware in systems within the network, or malfunctioning programme being used.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
With reference to ‘coal gasification’, consider the following statements
- All coal gasification-based conversion processes require removal of hydrogen sulfide
- Dyes, organic compounds and even medicines can be derived from coal gas
- Coal-derived syngas can be converted into transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel directly
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Incorrect All coal gasification-based conversion processes require removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S; an acid gas) from the syngas as part of the overall plant configuration. Typical acid gas removal (AGR) processes employed for gasification design are either a chemical solvent system (e.g., amine gas treating systems based on MDEA, for example) or a physical solvent system (e.g., Rectisol or Selexol) The by-products of coal gas manufacture included coke, coal tar, sulfur and ammonia; all useful products. Dyes, medicines, including sulfa drugs, saccharin and many organic compounds are therefore derived from coal gas. Coal-derived syngas can be converted into transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel through additional treatment. The Fischer-Tropsch process is the main process used for the production of coal-derived liquid fuels Context – Government of India has set a target to achieve 100 Million Tonnes Coal Gasification by 2030
