Q7472. Identify the incorrect statement regarding the sugar industry in India.
Explanation
The sugar industry is a weight-losing sector that requires mills to be near sugarcane fields. Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra are the leading producers in the country. The seasonal nature of the industry poses a significant challenge. However, the claim that the cooperative model has failed in Maharashtra is incorrect; it is actually widely recognized as a highly successful and dominant model in the state.

Explanation
The unbundling of the Rajasthan State Electricity Board in 2000 was a landmark reform aimed at improving the efficiency and financial health of the power sector.

Assertion (A): Meera Bai faced severe persecution and attempts on her life from the royal family of Mewar.
Reason (R): Her public dancing and singing among ascetics of different castes defied the strict patriarchal purdah norms and Rajput royal protocol of the time.
Explanation
Meera Bai faced severe opposition from the royal family of Mewar, especially after her husband’s death. Her behavior, which included singing and dancing in public with common ascetics and devotees, was seen as a direct violation of the strict Rajput protocols and patriarchal norms of the time. This defiance led to multiple attempts on her life, as her devotion transcended the boundaries of her social status.

Finally, the President issues the removal order.
Q7476. Consider the following statements regarding the power distribution companies (DISCOMs) in Rajasthan:
I. JdVVNL covers the maximum number of districts among the three DISCOMs.
II. JdVVNL operates in the highly desert-dominated western districts, leading to high infrastructure costs.
III. The DISCOMs purchase power primarily through Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (RUVNL).
IV. The distribution network in Rajasthan faces challenges like long transmission lines and sparse population density.
V. DISCOMs in Rajasthan have consistently registered massive net profits over the last decade.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are incorrect?
I. JdVVNL covers the maximum number of districts among the three DISCOMs.
II. JdVVNL operates in the highly desert-dominated western districts, leading to high infrastructure costs.
III. The DISCOMs purchase power primarily through Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (RUVNL).
IV. The distribution network in Rajasthan faces challenges like long transmission lines and sparse population density.
V. DISCOMs in Rajasthan have consistently registered massive net profits over the last decade.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are incorrect?
Explanation
While JdVVNL operates in a challenging desert environment, it does not necessarily cover the maximum number of districts compared to others. More importantly, DISCOMs in Rajasthan have historically struggled with financial losses rather than registering consistent profits. Challenges like sparse population and long transmission lines contribute to these difficulties, necessitating ongoing reforms and debt restructuring through various government schemes.
Q7477. According to widespread traditional belief and her own verses, who was accepted by Meera Bai as her spiritual Guru?
Explanation
According to widespread tradition and her own devotional verses, Meera Bai accepted Sant Ravidas, also known as Raidas, as her spiritual Guru. Ravidas was a prominent Nirguna saint from a marginalized community. By accepting him as her teacher, Meera Bai symbolically broke the barriers of caste and social hierarchy, emphasizing that spiritual wisdom and devotion are not the exclusive domain of any particular social group.

I. It can examine the constitutionality of legislative enactments of both the State Legislature and the Parliament.
II. It cannot examine the constitutionality of executive orders of the Central Government.
III. The phrase "judicial review" is not explicitly mentioned anywhere in the Constitution.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation
The High Court’s power of judicial review extends to examining the constitutionality of both State and Central legislative enactments and executive orders. Although this power is a fundamental feature of the Constitution, the specific phrase "judicial review" is not explicitly mentioned in the constitutional text. It is inferred from various articles like 13, 226, and 227 of the Constitution.

Q7480. Which of the following districts does NOT fall under the jurisdiction of the Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (AVVNL)?
Explanation
Jodhpur is not under the jurisdiction of the Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited; instead, it serves as the headquarters and primary territory for its own dedicated distribution company, the Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited.
