Information
Introducing yet another ingenious course, InsightsIAS is excited to announce our new initiative QUED – Questions from Editorials. Considering the number of questions that appeared from Editorials in previous year UPSC Prelims Examinations, we feel it is wise for students to cover Editorials from Prelims point of view as well in order to achieve that extra edge. Although, we have covered important editorials separately in our Editorial Section as well as under Secure Initiative, MCQ practice can prove to be crucial for better performance and guaranteed result.
We strongly recommend you at add QUED along with Static Quiz ,Current Affairs Quiz and RTM for your Daily MCQ practice.
We will be posting 5 MCQs at 11am everyday from Monday to Saturday on http://www.insightsonindia.com. QUED will be available under QUIZ menu.
We hope students utilize this initiative to the best of advantage. 🙂

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements.
- An economy’s annual GDP is the total money value of all final and intermediate goods and services produced within the geographical boundaries in a year.
- As the overall GDP goes up, the economic inequalities will also reduce accordingly.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: d)
An economy’s annual GDP is the total money value of all final (not intermediate) goods and services produced within the geographical boundaries in a year.
It can be argued — and quite justifiably — that the GDP does not really map the wellbeing of a population. It is quite possible — and is often quite likely — that even as the overall GDP goes up, economic inequalities also rise, fuelling discontent.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
What are the sources that add nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere?
- Lightning stroke
- Reaction of Ultraviolet radiation with ozone
- Bacteria living in soil
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: b)
Nitrous oxide emissions occur naturally through many sources associated with the nitrogen cycle, which is the natural circulation of nitrogen among the atmosphere, plants, animals, and microorganisms that live in soil and water.
Nitrous oxide is actually removed from the atmosphere when it is absorbed by certain types of bacteria or destroyed by ultraviolet radiation or chemical reactions.
A natural source of nitrogen oxides occurs from a lightning stroke. The very high temperature in the vicinity of a lightning bolt causes the gases oxygen and nitrogen in the air to react to form nitric oxide. The nitric oxide very quickly reacts with more oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide.
