Q.1 Medium
Which Indian state launched the 'Green Hydrogen Mission 2025' to produce hydrogen fuel for industrial applications and reduce carbon emissions by 2030?
A Gujarat
B Maharashtra
C Rajasthan
D Tamil Nadu
Correct Answer:  A. Gujarat
Explanation:

Gujarat is the correct answer because the state has positioned itself as a leader in renewable energy and hydrogen production, launching the Green Hydrogen Mission 2025 as part of its commitment to industrial decarbonization and meeting carbon reduction targets by 2030. This initiative aligns with Gujarat's existing strengths in solar and wind energy infrastructure, making it a natural hub for green hydrogen development in India. Other states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, while also investing in renewable energy, have not launched similar comprehensive green hydrogen missions with specific 2025 targets. Gujarat's proactive stance on clean energy transitions and its industrial base make it the state most actively pursuing hydrogen fuel for industrial applications as an emissions reduction strategy.

Q.2 Medium
In 2025, India's central bank announced a historic reduction in the repo rate to what level, marking the most aggressive monetary easing in the current cycle?
A 5.75%
B 6.25%
C 6.50%
D 7.00%
Correct Answer:  A. 5.75%
Explanation:

The correct answer is A) 5.75% because the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee made a significant rate cut in early 2025, bringing the repo rate down to this level as part of an accommodative monetary policy stance aimed at stimulating economic growth. This reduction was notably aggressive within the current easing cycle, reflecting the RBI's response to moderating inflation and concerns about economic slowdown. Other options would represent either insufficient cuts that wouldn't qualify as "most aggressive" or rates that are too low to be realistic policy decisions at that particular juncture. The 5.75% level was strategically chosen to balance inflation management while providing meaningful stimulus to credit growth and investment in the economy.

Q.3 Medium
India's unemployment rate in 2025, according to periodic labour force survey data, showed what trend compared to 2024?
A Significant increase above 6%
B Marginal decline to around 3.2%
C Remained stable between 4-5%
D Sharp increase to double digits
Correct Answer:  B. Marginal decline to around 3.2%
Explanation:

According to the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, India's unemployment rate in 2025 showed a marginal decline to around 3.2% compared to 2024, indicating a relatively stable and low unemployment scenario in the country. This slight improvement reflects the sustained job creation and economic activity despite global economic uncertainties, suggesting that the labour market remained resilient during this period. Other options suggesting either a significant decline, sharp increase, or stagnation would be incorrect because the PLFS data specifically documented only a marginal change rather than dramatic fluctuations. The marginal nature of this decline is significant because it demonstrates that while unemployment improved, the overall labour market conditions remained relatively consistent year-on-year, without radical shifts in employment dynamics.
