1. Question
Which among the following statement is incorrect about Subansiri River?
CorrectAbout Subansiri River:
• Subansiri Lower Hydro Electric Project (SLHEP): It is an under-construction gravity dam on the Subansiri River.
• The Subansiri River, also known as the Gold River, is a major tributary of the Brahmaputra River that flows through Tibet, Arunachal Pradesh, and Assam in India.
• It flows through the eastern Himalayas, entering India through the Miri hills in Arunachal Pradesh.
• Its major tributaries include Laro, Nye, Yume, Tsari, and Kamla.
• The river is known for its gold deposits, hence the name “Gold River.”IncorrectAbout Subansiri River:

2. Question
Consider the following statement about Aditya L1 mission:
1) Aditya L1 is the first space based Indian mission to study the Sun.
2) It aims at Observing and understanding the chromospheric and coronal dynamics of the Sun.
Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?CorrectAbout Aditya-L1
• The Aditya-L1 mission is an Indian solar observatory at Lagrangian point L1 for “Observing and understanding the chromospheric and coronal dynamics of the Sun” in a continuous manner.
• Placing the Aditya-L1 in a halo orbit around L1 point has advantages as compared to placing in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO):
o It provides a smooth Sun-spacecraft velocity change throughout the orbit, appropriate for helioseismology.
o It is outside of the magnetosphere of Earth, thus suitable for the “in situ” sampling of the solar wind and particles.
o It allows unobstructed, continuous observation of the Sun, and view of earth for enabling continuous communication to ground stations.
• Aditya L1 shall be the first space based Indian mission to study the Sun.IncorrectAbout Aditya-L1

3. Question
Consider the following statement about Facial Authentication Technology:
1) It is a 1:n identification technology which attempts to identify an unknown person by comparing their face to a database of faces.
2) As per the latest data, there was a rise of over 200% pensioners who made use of this technology.
Which of the following statements is/are correct?CorrectAbout the Facial Authentication Technology
• It is a biometrics-based technology that uses the unique characteristics of a person’s face to confirm their identity.
• It works by matching a scan of the user’s face to a stored digital template of their faceprint.
• If the live capture and faceprint align, access is granted. If not, access is denied.
• Sophisticated sensors, computer vision capabilities, artificial intelligence algorithms, and biometrics modelling enable robust facial authentication functionality.
• The end-to-end process comprises four core phases like Face Detection; Analysis and Mapping; Encrypted Faceprint Creation; and Biometric Authentication.– Facial authentication is different from general facial recognition, which attempts to identify an unknown person by comparing their face to a database of faces.
– It is a 1:1 verification using biometrics, while facial recognition is a 1:n identification technology.IncorrectAbout the Facial Authentication Technology

• India:
o Has the world’s largest cattle herd (buffaloes),
o Has largest area planted to wheat, rice, and cotton, and
o Is the largest producer of milk, pulses, and spices in the world.
o It is the second-largest producer of fruit, vegetables, tea, farmed fish, cotton, sugarcane, wheat, rice, cotton, and sugar.
