How long was the city drive route in TRAI’s independent drive test at Fazilka?

The correct answer is Reliance Jio, which averaged 271.44 Mbps on download in the Fazilka drive test. Option A, Airtel, came second at 204.39 Mbps, so it is a close but wrong choice; Airtel did, however, top the upload table at 23.52 Mbps. Option D, Vodafone Idea, averaged 17.19 Mbps on download and 15.10 Mbps on upload. Option B, BSNL, was lowest on download at 15.59 Mbps and on upload at 6.39 Mbps, and also recorded the highest packet loss, at 2.68 per cent on the downlink and 2.90 per cent on the uplink. Candidates should remember that the exercise was an Independent Drive Test in the Punjab Licensed Service Area, carried out from 5 to 7 August 2026 and supervised by the regulator’s regional office at Jaipur, with the findings published in October.

The correct answer is Airtel and Reliance Jio. Airtel dropped none of the 279 calls it successfully set up and Jio dropped none of its 278, while BSNL recorded three drops out of 281 calls and Vodafone Idea three out of 248, which rules out options A, C and D. On the related measure of coverage gap, counted as samples of poor signal strength out of all samples gathered in auto-selection mode, Airtel showed the fewest weak samples at 178 out of 31329, ahead of Jio at 295 out of 30439, Vodafone Idea at 820 out of 31163 and BSNL at 1575 out of 31183. Call silence instances lasting more than three seconds were lowest for Airtel at one out of 268 calls and highest for Vodafone Idea at six out of 272.

The correct answer is over 4 lakh crore rupees. While explaining how mobile-based governance plugged leakages, the Prime Minister said that money sent to beneficiaries now reaches the right person, and he singled out the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi as having placed more than four lakh crore rupees with small and marginal farmers who earlier saw little of such assistance. Options A and B understate the figure and are therefore wrong; they are the kind of round numbers a candidate may half remember from earlier years of the scheme. Option D overstates it and is wrong, though it may be confused with the much larger total of direct transfers across all schemes, which the Prime Minister put at over fifty lakh crore rupees with about five lakh crore rupees of leakage prevented. Keeping the scheme figure and the overall transfer figure apart is the key to this question.

The correct answer is Scale Without Boundaries. The Prime Minister took up the theme directly and told delegates that India's own experience shows what scaling without limits means in practice, citing 5G reaching every district from over 5.5 lakh base stations and the spread of affordable data and devices. Option B, Digital India, Digital World, is wrong; Digital India is the campaign the Prime Minister referred to as the frame for placing the mobile phone at the centre of governance, but it was not the theme of this edition. Option C, Future is Now, is wrong because no such theme was adopted for the congress. Option D, Connecting the Unconnected, is wrong as well, though it sounds plausible since the address dealt with closing the digital divide. In an exam, the theme, the edition number and the venue are the three facts most likely to be asked together.

The correct answer is Yashobhoomi, New Delhi. The tenth edition of the India Mobile Congress was inaugurated there by the Prime Minister, before an audience of telecom operators, industry leaders, academics and startups from India and abroad. Option A, Bharat Mandapam, is wrong here; it is a convention venue in the capital that has hosted other national events, but the mobile congress of this year was not held there. Option C, Pragati Maidan, is wrong for the same reason, although it is the older exhibition complex in Delhi and a tempting distractor. Option D, Vigyan Bhawan, is wrong because it is a conference facility used for smaller official meetings rather than a technology exhibition of this scale. For revision, pair the venue with the theme of the edition, Scale Without Boundaries, and with the city, New Delhi.
