The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Nebula.

• A nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas, mainly hydrogen and helium, found within galaxies.
• Nebulae are often called stellar nurseries because they are the birthplaces of stars.
• These regions can be formed from the remnants of dying stars or from regions of interstellar space where gas and dust come together.

Other Options Explained:

• Neutron Stars: Extremely dense remnants of supernova-exploded massive stars.

• Black Dwarf: A theoretical end stage of a white dwarf, cooled and no longer emitting heat or light.

• Black Hole: A region of space with gravity so strong that not even light can escape.

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Sedimentary rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed through major surface geological processes, including:

1. Destruction & Weathering – Breakdown of pre-existing rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or older sedimentary rocks) by physical, chemical, or biological means.

2. Erosion & Transport – Movement of weathered particles by water, wind, or ice.

3. Dissolution & Precipitation – Minerals dissolve in water and later re-form (e.g., limestone from calcium carbonate).

4. Deposition – Sediments settle in layers in basins, deltas, or ocean floors.

5. Lithification – Compaction and cementation of sediments into solid rock.

Other Options:

• Igneous rocks – Form from cooling magma/lava, not surface processes.

• Metamorphic rocks – Form from existing rocks altered by heat and pressure, not weathering/deposition.

• Sub-metamorphic rocks – Not a standard geological term.

Thus, sedimentary rocks are the result of weathering, erosion, deposition, and lithification.

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Government securities held by the RBI.

India’s Forex Reserves consist of foreign currency assets (FCA), gold reserves held by the RBI, Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), and the Reserve Tranche Position (RTP) in the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These assets provide a cushion against economic shocks and help maintain stability in the currency market. However, government securities held by the RBI are domestic assets and are not included in the calculation of India’s Forex Reserves.

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. It is the rate at which banks borrow money from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The reverse repo rate is the rate at which the RBI borrows money from commercial banks, not the other way around. It is used to absorb excess liquidity from the banking system, effectively reducing the money supply. An increase in the reverse repo rate encourages banks to park more funds with the RBI, thus lowering the available money for lending in the economy. Typically, the reverse repo rate is lower than the repo rate and influences short-term interest rates.

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Article 94.

Following a 13-hour debate involving 42 MPs, the Lok Sabha rejected a no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla via a voice vote. Home Minister Amit Shah defended the Speaker as the non-partisan protector of the House, criticizing the opposition’s rare move, the first such motion in nearly forty years since 1987. Shah emphasized that the Speaker represents the entire assembly, rather than a specific political party. The Article 94 of the Constitution provides the procedure for the removal of the speaker of Lok Sabha.

Chandrababu Naidu’s “One Family, One Entrepreneur” vision, the park is part of 175 planned MSME parks to strengthen women’s economic empowerment.

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Kelucharan Mohapatra.

Kelucharan Mohapatra is not associated with Kathakali; he was a legendary exponent of Odissi, a classical dance form from Odisha. The other personalities—Kalamandalam Gopi, Ramankutty Nair, and Kalamandalam Rajan—are renowned artists of Kathakali, the classical dance-drama from Kerala known for its elaborate costumes, intricate facial expressions, and storytelling through gestures. This distinction is important in Indian classical dance traditions, as each dance form has its own lineage of gurus and performers who preserve and promote its unique techniques and heritage.
