Q32 Test 36
Sir , Mumbai port is the largest container port of India , known as JNPT or Navasheva .
So option C should be correct.

Test 36 Q 46
Sir in this question statement 2 mentions that there are 13 member countries in OPEC.
I have checked on OPEC site and it mentions that there are 14 members. Please clarify.
If 14 members are there than option ( c) would be correct instead of ( d ) as given in answer key.
@Thinker sir stmt 2 in ques no 6 i think stmt should be "will start phasing down by 2028 or "will be phasing down HFCs from 2018". Stmt " will be phasing down by 2028"giving imression as if they would stopped using HFC in 2028 itself,making it wrong
@Thinker Kindly look into following doubts/queries regardingTEST 38
1. Question No. 23
The Chairperson for CAMPA is Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
The answer should perhaps be "B" both 2&3accordingly.
Click here for official CAMPA Act, 2016 -Kindly refer Page 7, Article 8(4)
2. Question No. 29
The time for notice is 60 days and not 90 days.
The answer should perhaps be"A"1 onlyaccordingly.
Click here for official EPA, 1986 -Kindly refer Page 278, Chapter IV-Para-19(b)
3. Question No. 46
Click here for official Biological Diversity Act,1986 -Kindly refer Page 3, Chapter II, Para-3(2)(b)
As per act"a citizen of India, who is a non-resident as defined in clause (30) of section 2 of the Income-tax Act, 196 1",or NRI in common terms is required to take approval from NBA.
NRI is a miniscule sub-set of "a citizen of india", as mentioned in Question 46(1)
If a subset satisfies a particular condition, its supersetcannot be deduced to necessarily satisfy the same. (although the vice-versa is true)
Hence, the"a citizen of india"if not defined further, probably refers to 99+percent citizens residing in India, who need not take approval of NBA.
The answer should perhaps be "B" both 2&3 accordingly.
Request you to kindly pay heed to the doubts/queries and make changes to key, if required.
