The four-lane road over bridge between Guntur and Nambur has been sanctioned at 108 crore rupees. Who is bearing the entire cost?

The correct answer is 668 metres. The road over bridge whose foundation stone was laid between the Guntur and Nambur railway stations in Andhra Pradesh will run 668 metres and carry four lanes of traffic. It has been sanctioned at a cost of 108 crore rupees, the whole of which is being paid by the Ministry of Railways, and it requires 2.9 acres of land. Option A, 468 metres, option B, 568 metres, and option D, 768 metres, are all wrong because none of them is the figure announced for this bridge; only the 668-metre length is correct. Candidates should link the length with the other numbers of the project, because a question paper may ask for the cost or the land instead of the length.

The correct answer is Gate No. 3. The four-lane road over bridge is being built in place of Level Crossing Gate No. 3, which lies on the Guntur-Krishna Canal stretch of the Guntur-Nambur line. Removing the gate ends the halts that road users face whenever a train passes, and it also helps trains keep time. Options A, C and D name gates that are not connected with this project; the gate being closed is numbered three. The bridge stands close to the Inner Ring Road of Guntur city and will connect Bus Stand Road with Gorantla village. Students should also recall that the same ceremony highlighted the wider plan to remove level crossings across Andhra Pradesh through bridges built over and under the tracks.

The correct answer is 3500 crore rupees. While laying the foundation stone of the Guntur road over bridge, the Minister of State for Railways said that apart from bridges over and under the tracks, 74 railway stations in Andhra Pradesh are being rebuilt with modern, world-class facilities at an investment of 3500 crore rupees. Option A, option B and option D give amounts that were not announced for this station upgrade programme in the state. The figure is worth remembering along with the details of the bridge itself, namely its length of 668 metres, its sanctioned cost of 108 crore rupees and the 2.9 acres of land it needs, because station modernisation in a named state is a common question in railway and staff selection examinations.

The correct answer is a platform for dialogue and discussion to widen participation in cleanliness work. The action plan for the day envisages the Samvad in exactly these terms, so that awareness about hygiene and sustainable waste management spreads through conversation. That is why the organisers set aside the usual lecture format and instead invited participants to describe practical problems at home, at work and in the areas around them, and to offer suggestions. Option B turns the exercise into a ranking contest, which is not its purpose. Option C describes an external inspection, whereas the Samvad was an internal and voluntary discussion. Option D is the very method the organisers deliberately avoided, since a one-sided lecture would not have drawn out the experiences of those present. The session closed with a collective commitment rather than an assessment.

The correct answer is buffaloes, at Hisar. The abbreviation expands to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research - Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes, and the institute works under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. It was this institute that held the Swachhata Samvad for its contractual staff and Young Professionals as part of the campaign's Day-VIII action plan. Option A names an institute devoted to goat research at a different station, option C a body working on camels, and option D one working on poultry; all three are of the same family of council institutes, which is precisely why they make good distractors. For examinations it helps to remember the animal, the station and the parent ministry as a single unit, because questions on such institutes usually ask for the pairing of a research subject with its headquarters.
