2. Question
1 pointsCategory: Science and Technology“Lunar X Prize” sponsored by which of the following social media giant?
Correct
Explanation: The Google Lunar XPRIZE (GLXP), sometimes referred to as Moon 2.0, was a 2007–2018 inducement prize space competition organized by the X Prize Foundation, and sponsored by Google. The challenge called for privately funded teams to be the first to land a robotic spacecraft on the Moon, travel 500 meters, and transmit back to Earth high-definition video and images.

3. Question
1 pointsCategory: Science and TechnologyThe Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) nuclear fusion reactor developed by which country?
Correct
Explanation: Scientists around the world have been trying for decades to recreate the unfathomable power of the sun here on Earth, and a team in China has managed to best our local star. Not for very long, though. The team operating the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) managed to heat the reactor’s internal plasma to 100 million degrees Celsius (212 million Fahrenheit). That’s six times hotter than the sun, but it doesn’t have any net power generation. In stars, hydrogen fuses into helium, and eventually into heavier elements. The fusion process releases large amounts of energy, and the byproducts of fusion aren’t radioactive. The only nuclear power we’ve managed to utilize on Earth is fission, which requires dangerous radioactive materials and comes with the risk of a reactor meltdown.

4. Question
1 pointsCategory: Science and TechnologyWhich of the following city in India is all set to roll out hydrogen-enriched CNG (HCNG) buses for public transport?
Correct
Explanation: In a first, Delhi is all set to roll out hydrogen-enriched CNG (HCNG) buses for public transport next year onwards. Interestingly, by doing so, the national capital will become the first city in India to launch HCNG buses. In order to help study the technology as well as its infrastructure requirements, the government of Delhi has tied up with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), which is a public sector undertaking, to induct 50 HCNG-fuelled buses, an HT report stated. Under this project, the IOCL plans to test the performance of buses as well as the reduction in emissions by mixing 18 to 20 per cent of hydrogen to compressed natural gas (CNG) in every bus.

5. Question
1 pointsCategory: Science and TechnologyResearchers of following institution have experimentally shown that methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) can exist as gas hydrates?
Correct
Explanation: Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have experimentally shown that methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) can exist as gas hydrates. They are formed when a gas such as methane gets trapped in well-defined cages of water molecules forming crystalline solids. It is a solid ice-like form of water that contains gas molecules in its molecular cavities.
