Mudh–Nyoma Airbase, recently seen in the news, is located in which region of India?
Correct
Answer: c
Explanation:
Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal AP Singh recently inaugurated the Mudh-Nyoma airbase in Ladakh by landing a C-130J special operations aircraft there.
About Mudh-Nyoma Airbase:
It is an Indian Air Force (IAF) base located in Nyoma, in southeastern Ladakh.
It is located at a height of 13,700 feet and is 23 km from the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China.
Nyoma is the fourth IAF base in Ladakh, the highest airfield in the country, and the fifth highest in the world now.
It lies close to the southern bank of the Pangong Tso and earlier had a mud-paved landing ground.
The responsibility of upgrading the airbase was entrusted to the Border Roads Organisation (BRO). The work began in September 2023.
It underwent a ₹230 crore upgrade, which included extending the original airstrip into a 2.7 km ‘rigid pavement’ runway, a new ATC complex, hangars, a crash bay, and accommodation.
The airfield is designed to house a number of military unmanned, rotary-wing, fixed-wing aircraft, including heavier transport planes, like the C-17 Globemaster III, and fighter jets, like the Sukhoi-30MKI.
The infrastructure at the airbase includes necessary facilities for maintenance and sustaining air and ground crews, essential for operations in a region where winter temperatures can plummet to below minus 20°C.

Consider the following statements regarding the Penganga River:
It originates in the Ajantha ranges in Maharashtra.
It is a major tributary of the Narmada River.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: a
Explanation:
Four women and three children trapped for almost two hours in the gushing water of the Penganga River, near the famous Sahastrakund waterfall, were rescued recently.
About Penganga River:
The Painganga River (also known as the Penganga River) is the chief river of the Yavatmal district in Maharashtra state.
It is a major tributary of the Wardha River, the other major river in the district.
Origin:
It originates in the Ajantha ranges in Aurangabad district in Maharashtra.
It then flows through Buldhana & Washim District & flows through the border of Washim & Hingoli District.
Then it acts as a boundary between Yavatmal and Nanded districts of Maharashtra.
The river flows along the State border between Maharashtra and Telangana before converging into Wardha river.
The Wardha River flows into the Wain Ganga River to form the Pranhita River, which finally joins the Godavari River, which empties into the Bay of Bengal.
The total length of the river is 676 km.
It is deeply entrenched and difficult to navigate.
Major Tributaries: The main tributaries of the river are Adan, Kas, Arunavati, Kayadhu, and Pus.
The Penganga River gets flooded in the rainy and winter seasons and partially flooded in the summer.
There are two dams being constructed on the river, namely Upper Painganga and Lower Painganga. This dam is also known as Isapur Dam.

Consider the following statements regarding Metformin, recently seen in the news:
It is primarily prescribed for the management of Asthma.
It is listed among the World Health Organization’s essential medicines.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: b
Explanation:
Metformin may weaken the benefits of exercise, a new study suggests.
About Metformin:
Metformin (1,1-dimethylbiguanide hydrochloride) is an anti-diabetic medication (biguanide).
It is commonly prescribed to help manage type 2 diabetes.
Metformin works in a few different ways to help keep your blood glucose (sugar) from getting too high.
Metformin decreases the amount of glucose your body absorbs from things you eat and drink.
Metformin reduces the amount of glucose that your liver makes.
Metformin also helps your body’s own insulin to work better. (Insulin is a hormone that helps your body use glucose as a source of energy.)
It is the most widely used glucose-lowering medication used around the world.
Metformin, listed among the World Health Organization’s essential medicines since 2011, is generally safe but may cause mild gastrointestinal upsets, give a metallic taste, or, rarely, may cause lactic acidosis (a buildup of lactic acid in your blood) in kidney-impaired patients.
Consider the following statements regarding the Omen Drone, recently seen in the news:
It is a new tail-sitting vertical takeoff and landing drone.
It will be developed through a partnership between India and Israel.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: a
Explanation:
America’s Anduril and the UAE’s state-owned defence conglomerate, EDGE Group, will jointly develop the Omen drone at a new, 50,000 square feet (4,645 square metres) research centre in Abu Dhabi.
About Omen Drone:
It is a new tail-sitting vertical takeoff and landing drone with a hybrid-electric propulsion system.
It will be developed by America’s Anduril and the UAE’s state-owned defence conglomerate, EDGE Group.
It is intended to be modular and adaptable to a wide array of military and non-military missions.
The Omen drone is designed to complement larger systems in tactical roles such as maritime surveillance, critical infrastructure protection, and persistent ISR coverage over choke points and coastal areas.
Features:
Omen is a twin-rotor aircraft that takes off from and lands in a tail-sitting position, where it stands about 10 feet tall.
It features relatively long and slender main wings, mounted toward the rear of the fuselage, together with canard foreplanes on either side of the nose.
It also has a twin-boom tail configuration extending from the rear of the nacelles on each wing.
It is compact, foldable, and transportable by a two-person team without heavy infrastructure, allowing deployment from rough terrain or forward sites.
It is designed to switch between two flight modes: it can take off, hover, and land vertically like a drone or helicopter but can also transition to airplane-style flight for longer and faster missions.
Its open architecture supports modular payloads like electro-optical or infrared sensors and communication relays.

Consider the following statements regarding the ESCAPEDE Mission:
It is launched to study the interaction between solar wind and the Martian magnetic field.
It is an initiative of the European Space Agency.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: a
Explanation:
Recently, Blue Origin has successfully launched Nasa’s highly anticipated Escapade mission to Mars.
The ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) mission is the first coordinated multi-spacecraft orbital science mission to the Mars.
Its twin orbiters known as Blue and Gold which will take simultaneous observations from different locations around Mars.
It is part of NASA’s SIMPLEx (Small Innovative Missions for Planetary Exploration) program.
This mission has chosen ‘launch and loiter’ strategy
It means the satellites will launch from Earth toward the Lagrange 2 Point (L2), a point in space where the balance of Earth and Sun’s gravitational pull ensures that a spacecraft stays put.
The spacecraft will stay put or loiter at L2 until the apt window for Mars travel opens up, and then it will move toward Mars in late 2026.
Objectives of ESCAPEDE Mission:
It will reveal the planet’s real-time response to space weather and how the Martian magnetosphere changes over time,
These spacecraft will travel to Mars to study the interaction between solar wind, streams of charged particles from the Sun, and the Martian magnetic field.
Understanding how solar wind strips Mars of its atmosphere is critical for planetary science and future human exploration.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: c
Explanation:
Recently, a report explains how experts use the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyses post-blast forensic investigations.
It is also known as FTIR Analysis or FTIR Spectroscopy.

This technique is useful for analyzing the chemical composition of smaller particles, typically 10 -50 microns, as well as larger areas on the surface.
It is a technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid or gas.
Applications of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
Industries: It is an established technique for quality control when evaluating industrially manufactured material.
Environment: It is used for monitoring air quality, testing water quality, and analyzing soil to address environmental and health concerns caused by increasing pollution levels.
Chemical Field: It is used to identify organic, polymeric, and, in some cases, inorganic materials.
