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 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Voice over 5G (Vo5G)’
- It brings substantially higher bandwidth and latency compared to 4G LTE
- It utilizes more advanced audio codecs that provide superior clarity and fidelity
- This standard allows voice calls over 5G networks instead of the current standard that uses 4G
How many of the statement(s) given above are correct
Correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Incorrect Correct Correct Voice over 5G is also known as Voice over New Radio (VoNR). VoNR brings clear advances over VoLTE with 5G’s substantially higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to 4G LTE. It utilizes more advanced audio codecs that provide superior clarity and fidelity based on 5G’s increased data capacity. To use Vo5G, you need three things: a phone that supports Vo5G, a carrier that offers Vo5G, and a 5G signal in your area. This standard allows voice calls over 5G networks instead of the current standard that uses 4G. In simple terms, Vo5G takes all the improvements of 5G – speed, capacity, responsiveness – and applies them squarely to voice. Context – Reliance Jio, India’s largest mobile carrier, has been testing Voice over New Radio (VoNR) behind the scenes.

With reference to ‘International Maritime Organization’, consider the following statements
- It is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping
- Funding for the organization comes from contributions by Member States and voluntary donations
- The Assembly is the highest Governing Body of the IMO
How many of the statement(s) given above are correct
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Correct International Maritime Organisation is a specialized agency of the United Nations which is responsible for measures to improve the safety and security of international shipping and to prevent pollution from ships. It is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping. Funding for the organization comes from contributions by Member States, as well as voluntary donations and commercial activities. Assembly is the highest Governing Body of the IMO. It consists of all Member States, and it meets once every two years in regular sessions. The Assembly is responsible for approving the work program, voting the budget and electing the Council. Context – India was re-elected to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Council with the highest tally at elections held at its Assembly in London for the 2024-25 biennium.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Piezoelectricity’
Statement 1 – It is widely used in pressure sensors, accelerometers, and acoustic devices
Statement 2 – It is phenomenon whereby some materials can generate an electric charge in response to mechanical stress
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Solution (a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Correct Piezoelectricity is a remarkable phenomenon whereby some materials, including quartz, ceramics such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), and even certain biological substances like bone and tendons, can generate an electric charge in response to mechanical stress. Both direct and inverse piezoelectric materials are widely used in pressure sensors, accelerometers, and acoustic devices, where their ability to convert mechanical signals into electrical signals is crucial. It is also used in quartz watches. Piezoelectric transducers are common in ultrasonic applications, such as intrusion detectors and alarms. Context – It was in news.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
‘Methotrexate’ seen in news recently is a class of
Correct
Solution (b)
Methotrexate(MTX) is commonly used in chemotherapy to treat certain types of cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, and breast cancer. It works by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase, which is essential for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This interference hampers the growth of cancer cells and suppresses the immune system in autoimmune conditions.
Context – A new highly fluorescent material (Ph-Cys-Au) using phosphorene, cystine, and gold has been developed for detection of anticancer drug Methotrexate.
