Hunger Index Indicators


Ok, this can be very tricky question but it can be easily solved by common sense. Firstly, Hunger Index is a numerical index. They have given us certain indicators; we need to match the correct indicators to the index.
We are going to solve it by checking each indicator with three parameters
1)  Congruency- Whether indicator is related to the index or in context with the index?
2)  Whether the indicators are distinct to one another?
3)  Whether the indicators are calculable or not?
Undernourishment, Child stunting, Child mortality all the indicators are related to Hunger.

Are they distinct? Yes they are.
Undernourishment is related to dietary intake
Child stunting is related to height of the child,
Child mortality is related to age of death

Now are they calculable? This can be tricky but look
Undernourishment can be calculated by the amount of calorie intake per day etc
Child stunting is about measuring the child’s height using a scale
Child mortality is calculated in proportion

So every indicators are calculable and in relation to hunger, hence the answer is C

Payment Banks

This is a very easy question if you know the concept of a PAYMENT BANK, then is it’s quite factual. If you don’t know, then we will think upon it. Why would RBI conceptualize Payment bank? Obvious answer would be to bring rural population into the banking fold (Banking Inclusion) so that people can park their excess money in the bank and get an interest. At the same time RBI cannot make it like a normal bank. So there will be limitations. If you them directly it would be “non thinker” question. For those who don’t know it, this question that you should not leave but give a calculated guess. So when I read the 2 nd and 3 rd statement I find them contradicting to each other.  Look in 2 nd statement it says it can issue credit cards and in 3 rd it says in it cannot give loan. If a bank can issue a credit card it should be eligible to lend money. Either one of them is correct. 2 and 3 cannot exist together Option D out. Now statement 1 is talking about big players,...

Bill Lapsing

Firstly we do the word by word analysis, Statement 1 Most important word is PROROGATION. So what is prorogation?  In layman terms Prorogation means ending the entire session of the parliament not any day of the session. Next thing we have to know is that Prorogation is not the end of the house, mostly same MPs will be occupying the seats when they come for the next session. So there is no point in bill lapsing after a PROROGATION (because it is not dissolution) So statement 1 is wrong Statement 2 Most important word is DISSOLUTION of Loksabha. Dissolution means the entire lower house is about to change, new MPs are about to come means new legislations are about to come. Here the bill originated in Rajya Sabha it has not touched the Loksabha. So there is no point in ‘lapsing’ that bill as Rajya Sabha is a permanent house and it can give the same bill to new coming Loksabha. So statement 2 is Correct So our answer is B And thank God they didn’t ...
