The men's competition bar weighs twenty kilograms and the women's fifteen, and the discs loaded on it are colour coded so that the total can be read from a distance: red for twenty-five kilograms, blue for twenty, yellow for fifteen, green for ten and white for five.

Rhythmic gymnastics combines dance and gymnastic movement with a hand apparatus, and the five recognised apparatus are the rope, the hoop, the ball, the clubs and the ribbon; a routine is performed on a floor area to music, and the apparatus must be kept in continuous motion.

The beam is a padded bar about five metres long and only ten centimetres wide, raised roughly a metre and a quarter above the floor, and it is one of the four women's apparatus along with the vault, the uneven bars and the floor exercise.

Dipa Karmakar performed it at the Rio Games of 2016, where she became the first Indian woman gymnast to qualify for the Olympics and finished fourth in the vault final.

It governs artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, acrobatic and aerobic gymnastics and sets the code of points by which routines are scored.

The correct answer is C, Nadia Comaneci of Romania, who received the first perfect ten in Olympic gymnastics at the Montreal Games of 1976, at the age of fourteen; the scoreboard of the day could show only three digits and displayed her mark as 1.00.

The men's programme has six apparatus, the floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar, and of these the pommel horse, the rings, the parallel bars and the horizontal bar appear in no women's event.

Powerlifting is made up of three lifts, the squat, the bench press and the deadlift, in none of which the bar finishes overhead, and the sport is not on the Olympic programme; para powerlifting, contested at the Paralympic Games, is the bench press alone.

Karnam Malleswari took bronze there and became the first Indian woman ever to win an Olympic medal, a feat that earned her the popular title Iron Lady of India.

Olympic weightlifting consists of the snatch and the clean and jerk, and a competitor is allowed three attempts at each; the best valid lift in each is added to give the total that decides the medal.

The correct answer is C, 500 GW by 2030, the first of the five Panchamrit commitments placed before COP26 in Glasgow in 2021, the others being half of India's energy requirement from renewables by 2030, a billion tonnes off projected emissions by 2030, a 45 per cent cut in the…

The Union Budget for that year announced the intention, the Government published a Sovereign Green Bonds framework in 2022, and the Reserve Bank of India auctioned the first tranche on the Government's behalf in January 2023, with the proceeds earmarked for renewable energy, clean transport, energy efficiency, sustainable water management…

Each designated consumer in an energy-intensive industry such as cement, steel, aluminium, fertiliser or thermal power is given a specific energy consumption target; a plant that beats its target earns ESCerts, and a plant that misses it must buy them, which the power exchanges make possible.

In the same scheme the Grid Controller of India keeps the registry and the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission regulates trading.

The Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022 inserted the power for the Central Government to specify a Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, which is why the market sits with the Ministry of Power and its Bureau of Energy Efficiency rather than with the environment ministry.

The correct answer is C, COP26 in Glasgow, held in 2021, where India placed a five-part pledge known as the Panchamrit before the conference: 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, half its energy requirement from renewables by 2030, a cut of one billion tonnes in projected emissions by…

It holds all the market machinery of the Paris Agreement: Article 6.2 lets two countries cooperate bilaterally and transfer Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes with a corresponding adjustment so the same tonne is not counted twice, Article 6.4 establishes a centralised crediting mechanism supervised by a United Nations body as the…

India hosted a very large number of such projects and was among the world's biggest sellers of CERs.

Adopted in 1997 at COP3 in Japan and in force from 2005, it set binding emission targets for developed countries and gave them three flexible mechanisms to meet them; the Clean Development Mechanism, under Article 12, let a developed country fund an emission-reduction project in a developing country and claim…

The tonne is the standard trading unit in every carbon market, compliance or voluntary, and it is written as 1 tCO2e. The word equivalent matters: gases other than carbon dioxide are converted into carbon dioxide terms using their global warming potential, so a much smaller quantity of methane or nitrous…
