Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements regarding foot loose industries.
- Foot loose industries can be located in a wide variety of places.
- These industries are generally non-polluting industries.
- They largely depend on component parts which can be obtained anywhere.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: d)
Foot loose industries can be located in a wide variety of places. They are not dependent on any specific raw material, weight losing or otherwise. They largely depend on component parts which can be obtained anywhere.
They produce in small quantity and also employ a small labour force. These are generally not polluting industries. The important factor in their location is accessibility by road network.
Diamonds, computer chips, and mobile manufacturing are some examples of footloose industries.
Non-footloose industries generally require raw material availability within a time limit to make products. Sugar industry, jute industry and tea industry are the examples of non-footloose industries.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Sugarcane industry is gradually shifting from north Indian states to South Indian states. Which of the following are the reasons behind it?
- The production of sugarcane per hectare is higher in Peninsular India.
- The crushing season in south India is shorter than in north India.
- The sucrose contents is higher in the tropical variety of sugarcane grown in the southern states.
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: b)
Reasons for shifting of sugar industry from North India to Peninsular India
- The production of sugarcane per hectare is higher is Peninsular India. In fact, sugarcane crop grows well in the tropical climate of south India.
- The sucrose content is higher in the tropical variety of sugarcane grown in the south.
- The crushing season in south India is longer than in north India.
- In south India most of the mills have modern machinery.
- Most of the mills in Peninsular India are in cooperative sector, where profit maximization is not the sole objective.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements about Anticyclones.
- Anticyclone is a region where the atmospheric pressure is high compared with that of adjacent areas.
- Their extent is always small.
- In the northern hemisphere the general wind circulation is clockwise round the anticyclone.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
Anticyclone is a region where the atmospheric pressure is high compared with that of adjacent areas. In the northern hemisphere the general wind circulation is clockwise round the anticyclone, while in the southern hemisphere it is anticlockwise. The extents are generally large and the effects are also pronounced.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements about Shale gas
- Shale gas is found in unconventional reservoirs typically trapped in shale rock, having low permeability, originally deposited as clay and silt.
2. The combustion of shale gas emits significantly lower levels of key pollutants than the combustion of coal and oil. - Krishna-Godavari and Gondwana has been identified as potentially shale gas-bearing basins.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: d)
Shale gas is found in unconventional reservoirs typically trapped in shale rock, having low permeability, originally deposited as clay and silt.
This makes it more difficult and more expensive to extract because of high upfront costs. Shale gas is generally found at 2000 to 5000 meters below the earth’s surface unlike conventional natural gas – trapped in sandstone rock having high permeability and can be easily assessed to be produced by traditional vertical drilling, found at 1500 meters. The technique used for shale gas production requires first drilling a vertical well to the targeted rock followed by horizontal drilling exposing the well to more of producing shale. This process is called Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking
Six basins have been identified as potentially shale gas-bearing. These are Cambay in Gujarat, Assam-Arakan in the Northeast, Gondwana in central India, Krishna-Godavari in Andhra Pradesh, Cauvery in southern India and the Indo-Gangetic plains.
