Q1:
Instead of using the Earth's Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), why is it necessary to establish a separate timekeeping standard for the Moon?
A: Time on the Moon runs the same way as on Earth, but a different standard is needed for communication purposes.
B: Time runs slightly faster on the Moon due to the gravitational difference between the Earth and the Moon, which affects critical lunar operations.
C: Earth's UTC is too complex to be adapted for lunar missions.
D: The Moon's rotation is faster than that of the Earth, so a different time standard is needed to synchronize activities.
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, time runs differently in different gravitational fields. On the Moon, time runs slightly faster than on Earth, leading to a time discrepancy of about 58.7 microseconds per day with Earth. This discrepancy can affect critical operations such as spacecraft docking, data transfer and navigation. Which makes it necessary to establish a lunar time standard different from Earth's UTC.
Q2:
Which of the following is correct about the Supreme Court's stance on sub-classifications within Scheduled Castes (SCs) established in recent judgments?
A: States are prohibited from making sub-classifications within SC lists as they must be treated as a homogenous group.
B: States can make sub-classifications within SCs to better target benefits to the most disadvantaged groups, provided it is based on empirical data.
C: Sub-classifications within SCs can be done arbitrarily by states without the need for any empirical evidence.
D: Sub-classifications are permitted, but only for the purpose of reducing the overall reservation quota for SCs.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Supreme Court has allowed states to create sub-classifications within SCs to ensure that benefits reach the most disadvantaged groups within the community. However, such sub-classifications must be based on empirical evidence and historical data that show systemic discrimination, and not on arbitrary reasons.
Q3:
What was the significance of the 2004 Supreme Court judgment regarding sub-classification of Scheduled Castes (SCs) in E.V. Chinnaiah vs State of Andhra Pradesh?
A: The judgment allowed states to freely divide SCs into different categories to distribute benefits.
B: The judgment held that SCs constitute a homogenous group, and states cannot divide them into different categories for the purposes of reservation.
C: The judgment allowed the implementation of the creamy layer principle within SCs to exclude affluent individuals.
D: The judgment supported the idea of complete autonomy of states on the SC reservation system without judicial oversight.
Answer: B
Explanation:
In the 2004 judgment of E.V. Chinnaiya vs State of Andhra Pradesh, the Supreme Court ruled that Scheduled Castes must be treated as a homogenous group and cannot be divided into different categories for the purpose of distributing reservation benefits. The judgment emphasized the unity of Scheduled Castes as a single category under the Constitution.
