    Ans (d) provides the necessary acceleration for its motion.

    An artificial satellite orbiting around the Earth does not fall down because the attraction (gravity) of the Earth provides the necessary centripetal acceleration. The artificial satellite moving around the Earth in a circular orbit possesses an acceleration that is “constant” in magnitude but “changing in direction”.
    The velocity at which the rocket launches the satellite is pre-determined and is such that it is not too great because then the satellite will escape into space and not too less because then the satellite will fall due to the gravitational force of attraction. A balance between this velocity and gravity keeps the satellite in its orbit. The centripetal acceleration due to gravity enables circular motion, allowing the satellite to orbit around the Earth.

    Ans (b) 2 only

    No citizen, other than an advocate, has the right to appear, act, or plead in court. In India, the term “legal professionals” refers only to those “advocates” who are law graduates and have been enrolled in State Bar Councils (SBCs). A patent attorney is a person who has a law degree, is qualified to deal with patent disputes and is registered with a State Bar Council as an advocate who can handle patent litigation. Patent attorneys are too recognized as lawyers, and there is no prohibition on their recognition as lawyers. Hence, Statement 1 is incorrect.

    The Bar Council of India is a statutory body established under section 4 of the Advocates Act 1961 that regulates legal education and legal practice in India. The Bar Council of India visits and inspects Universities/Law colleges in the country as part of its statutory function of promoting legal education and laying down standards in consultation with the Universities in India and the State Bar Councils. Statement 2 is correct.

    Ans (c) 1 and 3 only.

    NEER is an unadjusted weighted average rate at which one country’s currency exchanges for a basket of multiple foreign currencies. The nominal exchange rate is the amount of domestic currency needed to purchase foreign currency. It is a measure of value of currency against a weighted average of several foreign currencies. Therefore, an increase in NEER indicates the appreciation of the rupee. Statement 1 is correct.

    Real Effective Exchange Rate is the nominal effective exchange rate (a measure of the value of a currency against a weighted average of several foreign currencies) divided by a price deflator or index of costs. REER is the weighted average of a country’s currency in relation to an index or basket of other major currencies. The weights are determined by comparing the relative trade balance of a country’s currency against each country within the index. An increase in REER implies that exports become more expensive and imports become cheaper. Therefore, an increase in REER indicates a loss in trade competitiveness. Hence, Statement 2 is incorrect.

    The NEER is the weighted geometric average of the bilateral nominal exchange rates of the home currency in terms of foreign currencies. The REER is the weighted average of NEER adjusted by the ratio of domestic prices to foreign prices. Thus, an increasing trend in domestic inflation in other countries is likely to cause an increasing divergence between NEER and REER. Statement 3 is correct.

    Ans (b) International Monetary Fund (IMF)

    The Rapid Financing Instrument (RFI) provides rapid financial assistance to all member countries facing an urgent balance of payments need. The RFI was created as part of a broader reform to make the IMF’s financial support more flexible to address the diverse needs of member countries.

    Rapid Credit Facility (RCF) provides rapid concessional financial assistance to low-income countries (LICs) facing an urgent balance of payments need with no ex-post conditionality where a full-fledged economic program is neither necessary nor feasible. The RCF was created under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT) as part of a broader reform to make the IMF’s financial support more flexible and better tailored to the diverse needs of LICs, including in times of crisis.

    Ans (d) A definite dry and wet season

    Savannah, also known as tropical grasslands, are found to the north and south of tropical rainforest biomes. The tropical Savannah region has a definite dry and wet season. It is also known as Tropical Wet and Dry in the Koeppen classification.
    Savannah has two distinct seasons, the wet season and the dry season. In the wet season, vegetation grows, while in the dry season, there is very little rain.
    Savannah covers approximately 20% of the Earth’s land area. The largest region of Savannah is in Africa. Kenya and Tanzania consist of tropical grasslands. These grasslands are also found in Brazil in South America. Savannah grasslands are much richer in humus than equatorial forests.
