On which portal can a household complete its own census entry from a mobile phone?

The correct answer is 138th. The September edition of the monthly radio address, broadcast on 27 September 2026, was its 138th episode, and in it the Prime Minister looked back at ten years of the surgical strike carried out on the night of 28-29 September 2016, appealed to households to enter their own census details online, and marked the birth centenary of Ashok Singhal. Option A, the 136th, and option B, the 137th, are the numbers of earlier editions and do not match the September 2026 broadcast. Option D, the 139th, is the edition that would follow this one in a later month, so it cannot be the episode aired on this date. Aspirants are advised to note both the episode number and the date together, because questions are often framed on the pairing of the two rather than on either alone.

The correct answer is 28-29 September 2016. Indian Army soldiers crossed the Line of Control on that night and hit terrorist launch pads, and the action is described as a decisive break in the way India answers cross-border terrorism, followed later by the Balakot air strike and Operation Sindoor. Option A, 26-27 September 2015, carries the wrong year altogether. Option C, 13-14 September 2008, mixes up the strike with the serial blasts in Delhi of 13 September 2008, which took many innocent lives and were followed weeks later by the Mumbai attack. Option D, 11-12 September 2019, is invented and matches no event in the address. A useful memory hook is that the tenth anniversary of the strike falls in the same month as the broadcast itself.

The correct answer is Modhera in Gujarat, which runs entirely on solar energy and is held up as a model of sustainability. Modhera is better known for its Sun Temple, raised by King Bhimdev the First in 1025 and attacked the very next year, when Mahmud of Ghazni also pulled down the Somnath temple; it hosts a dance festival every January after Makar Sankranti. Option A, Mana in Chamoli, is the village called the country's first village, where the census count in Uttarakhand began with 83-year-old Purnima Rawat. Option D, Bagori in Uttarkashi, is where a homestay owner filed his own census details digitally. Option C, Jharkhali in the Sundarbans, is where widowed women raise mangrove forests that protect their villages and earn them a living. Each of the three is a real place from the same address, which is exactly why they work as distractors.

The correct answer is the Foreign Post Office, Jaipur. The Rajasthan unit searched an international parcel that had come from the United States and found the hydroponic cannabis hidden in four packets inside an air circulator box. Option B names Jodhpur, which is a major city of the state but is not where the parcel was examined. Option C names an air cargo complex at Udaipur, and option D an inland container depot at Kota; neither figures in these cases at all, which involved a foreign post office, a truck stopped with poppy straw, a set of passenger cars used as carriers and residential premises where opium and cash were recovered. The weight recovered from the parcel, 1.9 kg, is counted in the overall haul reported by the unit, and the seizure was made under the provisions of the NDPS Act, 1985.

The correct answer is the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, usually shortened to the NDPS Act. Every article recovered in these cases, meaning the poppy straw, the opium, the hydroponic cannabis, the cash, the vehicles and the country-made pistol, was seized under the relevant provisions of this Act, and further investigation into sources, destinations and supply channels is proceeding under it. Option A, the Indian Penal Code, 1860, deals with general criminal offences and is not the law under which narcotics seizures are recorded here. Option B, the Customs Act, 1962, governs import and export duties and confiscation of smuggled goods generally, and the release does not invoke it even for the parcel received from abroad. Option D, the Arms Act, 1959, is not named in the case either, although a country-made pistol with three live rounds was recovered during one of the searches.
