Q8643. Consider the following phenomena regarding the temperature dynamics in Rajasthan:
I. Temperature inversions are common in western Rajasthan during clear, calm winter nights.
II. Extreme continentality prevents any variation between summer and winter temperatures.
III. The highest temperatures in the state are recorded in the southern tribal belt due to dense forests.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are incorrect?
I. Temperature inversions are common in western Rajasthan during clear, calm winter nights.
II. Extreme continentality prevents any variation between summer and winter temperatures.
III. The highest temperatures in the state are recorded in the southern tribal belt due to dense forests.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are incorrect?
Explanation
Statement II is incorrect because continentality actually causes extreme variations between summer and winter temperatures. Statement III is also incorrect because the highest temperatures are recorded in the northern and western desert districts like Churu and Phalodi, not in the southern tribal belt. Temperature inversions, however, are a common and correct phenomenon observed in the desert during clear winter nights.
Q8644. Given below are two statements regarding technical education in Rajasthan.
Statement I: Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in Rajasthan focus primarily on providing vocational certificate courses for immediate employment in trades.
Statement II: Polytechnic colleges offer diploma courses in engineering and non-engineering fields, acting as a bridge between ITIs and degree-level engineering colleges.
Statement I: Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in Rajasthan focus primarily on providing vocational certificate courses for immediate employment in trades.
Statement II: Polytechnic colleges offer diploma courses in engineering and non-engineering fields, acting as a bridge between ITIs and degree-level engineering colleges.
Explanation
Industrial Training Institutes in Rajasthan provide vocational courses for immediate trade-based employment. Meanwhile, polytechnic colleges offer diploma courses that act as a middle ground between basic vocational training and degree-level engineering. Both statements are factually correct regarding the roles of these institutions. However, they describe different levels of the technical education hierarchy, and the second statement does not directly explain the first.
Q8645. Consider the following statements regarding the composition of the Rajasthan State Women Commission:
I. The Chairperson is appointed by the State Government.
II. At least one member among the non-official members must belong to the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes.
III. The Member-Secretary must be a judicial officer of the rank of a District Judge.
Which of the above statements are correct?
I. The Chairperson is appointed by the State Government.
II. At least one member among the non-official members must belong to the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes.
III. The Member-Secretary must be a judicial officer of the rank of a District Judge.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Explanation
The State Government is responsible for appointing the Chairperson and the non-official members of the commission. To ensure social inclusivity, the Act mandates that at least one member must be from the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes. The Member-Secretary is usually an officer from the administrative services, not necessarily a judicial officer of the rank of a District Judge.
Q8646. Consider the following statements regarding the monsoon trough over Rajasthan:
Statement I: The shifting of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) northward over the Thar desert creates a low-pressure trough, drawing in the monsoon winds.
Statement II: The strength and duration of the monsoon trough over Rajasthan directly dictate the intensity of rainfall received during the season.
Select the correct response from the options given below:
Statement I: The shifting of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) northward over the Thar desert creates a low-pressure trough, drawing in the monsoon winds.
Statement II: The strength and duration of the monsoon trough over Rajasthan directly dictate the intensity of rainfall received during the season.
Select the correct response from the options given below:
Explanation
The northward shift of the ITCZ over the Thar Desert creates a low-pressure trough that draws in monsoon winds, which is a fundamental meteorological process. Separately, the characteristics of this trough indeed dictate the rainfall intensity. While both statements are facts regarding the monsoon mechanism in Rajasthan, the second statement describes the result of the trough’s behavior rather than explaining why it forms.
Q8647. The following question consists of two statements, one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): The Government of Rajasthan has significantly expanded the medical education infrastructure by planning to open a government medical college in every district.
Reason (R): The expansion aims to address the shortage of medical professionals and improve the tertiary healthcare delivery system across the state.
Explanation
The Rajasthan government is expanding medical education by establishing a government medical college in every district. This ambitious plan is designed to address the shortage of healthcare professionals and strengthen the state’s tertiary healthcare delivery system.
Q8648. Consider the following statements regarding the tenure of the Chairperson and Members of the RSWC:
Statement I: The Chairperson and every non-official member hold office for a period of three years.
Statement II: The Chairperson and members are eligible for reappointment for a maximum of two consecutive terms.
Identify the correct option:
Statement I: The Chairperson and every non-official member hold office for a period of three years.
Statement II: The Chairperson and members are eligible for reappointment for a maximum of two consecutive terms.
Identify the correct option:
Explanation
The Chairperson and every non-official member of the Rajasthan State Women Commission hold their office for a period of three years. This limited tenure ensures that the commission receives fresh perspectives periodically. While members can serve the commission, the parent Act does not typically provide for a standard reappointment for multiple consecutive terms in the same manner as other constitutional bodies.
Q8649. Given below are two statements, one labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Mount Abu experiences much lower summer temperatures compared to the surrounding plains of the Jalore and Sirohi districts.
Reason (R): Temperature decreases with an increase in altitude at a standard lapse rate.
Select the correct answer from the options given below:
Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Mount Abu experiences much lower summer temperatures compared to the surrounding plains of the Jalore and Sirohi districts.
Reason (R): Temperature decreases with an increase in altitude at a standard lapse rate.
Select the correct answer from the options given below:
Explanation
Mount Abu experiences significantly cooler summer temperatures compared to the nearby low-lying plains of Jalore and Sirohi. This is a direct consequence of the environmental lapse rate, which states that atmospheric temperature decreases as altitude increases. Because Mount Abu is situated at a high elevation in the Aravalli Range, it remains much cooler than the surrounding regions despite the intense summer heat.
Q8650. Which of the following is not a valid method through which the Rajasthan State Women Commission registers a complaint or initiates an inquiry?
Explanation
The Commission can initiate inquiries through various channels, including direct written complaints, suo motu cognizance of media reports, or referrals from the National Commission for Women. However, there is no legal requirement for the police to automatically transfer every FIR involving crimes against women to the Commission. The Commission typically intervenes when there is a grievance about police inaction.Answer key for these questions
