Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following agriculture practices.
- Vertical farming is the practice of producing food in vertically stacked layers in structures like skyscrapers and warehouse.
- Vertical farming is possible only in the regions that have fertile soil.
- Zero-Tillage helps in carbon sequestration and requires minimum labour compare to traditional farming method.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Zero tillage is the process where the crop seed will be sown through drillers without prior land preparation and disturbing the soil where previous crop stubbles are present.
Zero tillage not only reduce the cost of cultivation it also reduces the soil erosion, crop duration and irrigation requirement and weed effect which is better than tillage. Zero Tillage (ZT) also called No Tillage or Nil Tillage. Adopting no-tillage in agro-ecosystems has been widely recommended as a means of enhancing carbon (C) sequestration in soils.
Vertical farming is the practice of growing produce in vertically stacked layers. The practice can use soil, hydroponic or aeroponic growing methods. Vertical farms attempt to produce food in challenging environments, like where arable land is rare or unavailable.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Wheat Cultivation in India.
- Wheat can be grown in the tropical and sub-tropical zones and it cannot tolerate severe cold and snow.
- Soils with a clay loam or loam texture and moderate water holding capacity are ideal for wheat cultivation.
- Punjab is the largest Wheat producing state of India.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
Wheat is the main cereal crop in India.
Wheat crop has wide adaptability. It can be grown not only in the tropical and sub-tropical zones, but also in the temperate zone and the cold tracts of the far north, beyond even the 60-degree north altitude. Wheat can tolerate severe cold and snow and resume growth with the setting in of warm weather in spring. It can be cultivated from sea level to as high as 3300 meters.
The best wheat are produced in areas favoured with cool, moist weather during the major portion of the growing period followed by dry, warm weather to enable the grain to ripen properly.
Wheat is grown in a variety of soils of India. Soils with a clay loam or loam texture, good structure and moderate water holding capacity are ideal for wheat cultivation.
Uttar Pradesh is the largest Wheat producing state of India.

- Osmium
- Iridium
- Palladium
- Ruthenium
- Nepheline Syenite
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: d)
The high concentration of iridium in the geological section at Anjar, Kutch district, provides evidence for a massive meteoritic impact that caused the extinction of dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.
A national geological monument exhibiting a unique rock called Nepheline Syenite in Ajmer district of Rajasthan.
Baula-Nausahi, a 3-km-long belt, 170 km north east of Bhubaneswar, is the proven platinum group of elements (PGE) deposit in India. PGE comprises six greyish to silver white metals including platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium, osmium and ruthenium.
