The study on managing bedwetting in children through Ayurveda and yoga was conducted at which institute?
- A.All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi
- B.Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Jamnagar
- C.National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur
- D.Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy
Correct answer
B. Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Jamnagar
Explanation
The correct answer is the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Jamnagar. The clinical study was carried out by the Department of Kaumarbhritya, the paediatrics wing of this institute, which is an Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Ayush, and the findings were published in the AYU Journal. Option A names another leading Ayurveda institute under the same ministry, which makes it the most tempting wrong choice, but the work reported here was not done there. Option C is also an Ayurveda institute of standing, yet it did not conduct this trial. Option D is a research council that works on yoga and naturopathy rather than the institute credited with this study. Aspirants should link the institute with its city, its status as an Institution of National Importance, the Ministry of Ayush and the name of its director, since any of these can be asked.

Practice Questions
By about how much did bedwetting improve in the group that received Ayurvedic medicine along with yoga asanas?
- A.About 31 per cent
- B.About 38 per cent
- C.About 61 per cent
- D.About 70 per cent
Show answer
Correct answer: D. About 70 per cent
Explanation
The correct answer is about 70 per cent. Children who took the Ayurvedic formulation and also practised the four selected asanas showed roughly 70 per cent improvement in the frequency of bedwetting over the eight weeks of the study. Option B, about 38 per cent, is the improvement recorded in the group that received the medicine alone, so it belongs to the comparison group rather than the combined one. Option A, about 31 per cent, is the improvement in memory among children on medicine alone and is placed here to test whether a candidate separates the parameters. Option C, about 61 per cent, is the memory improvement in the combined group, again a different measure. The study also reported about 66 per cent less irritability and about 71 per cent less hyperactivity in the combined group, so each percentage needs to be tied to its own parameter.
Which Ayurvedic formulation was given to the children in both groups of the study?
- A.Chyawanprash
- B.Medhya Rasayana Churna
- C.Triphala Churna
- D.Ashwagandha Churna
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Medhya Rasayana Churna
Explanation
The correct answer is Medhya Rasayana Churna. Children in both groups received this formulation, made of Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, Yashtimadhu, which is liquorice, and Guduchi, administered twice a day with milk. The second group additionally practised Utkatasana, Ardha-Shalabhasana, Bhujangasana and Shavasana in the morning and evening. Option A, Chyawanprash, is a well known Ayurvedic preparation but was not the one tested here. Option C, Triphala Churna, is used for digestive complaints and does not figure in this trial. Option D is a distractor built around a single herb rather than the compound formulation named in the study. The ingredients matter for the explanation offered by the researchers, since Brahmi and Shankhpushpi have traditionally been used for their calming effect and their role in supporting mental well-being in children.
India has become which country in the world to develop its own indigenous 4G stack?
- A.Third
- B.Fourth
- C.Fifth
- D.Seventh
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Fifth
Explanation
The correct answer is fifth. India has emerged as the fifth nation in the world to design and build an indigenous 4G stack of its own, a milestone the Ministry of Communications treats as proof of growing self-reliance in developing and deploying advanced telecom technology. Options A, B and D give the wrong rank and are the kind of near misses a paper setter uses when a milestone is stated as an ordinal. Along with this achievement, the figures to remember for the country's network are 1.01 billion broadband subscribers and over one billion internet subscribers, 5G services reaching 99.9 per cent of districts and 85 per cent of the population, and 4G connectivity in 98.7 per cent of villages. These numbers were cited while the arrangements for the tenth India Mobile Congress at Yashobhoomi were being reviewed, so the ordinal and the coverage figures are often asked together.
At which venue is India Mobile Congress 2026 being held?
- A.Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
- B.Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi
- C.Pragati Maidan, New Delhi
- D.Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi
Explanation
The correct answer is Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi. The Union Minister of Communications visited this convention centre to review the final arrangements before the opening of the tenth India Mobile Congress, and the exhibition halls, sessions and investor meetings of the event are housed there. Options A, C and D name other well known venues in the national capital that host conferences and exhibitions, but none of them is the site of this edition of the congress. The distinction matters because questions on summits and expositions almost always pair the edition with its venue and its theme. For this event the three go together as follows: the tenth edition, the theme 'Scale Without Boundaries', and Yashobhoomi in Dwarka as the venue, with the Prime Minister inaugurating the congress on 8 October 2026. Only option B is therefore correct.
What is the theme of India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026?
- A.Digital India for All
- B.Scale Without Boundaries
- C.Connecting the Next Billion
- D.Sovereign Telecom Future
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Scale Without Boundaries
Explanation
The correct answer is Scale Without Boundaries. This is the theme chosen for the tenth India Mobile Congress, which is being held at Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, New Delhi, and which the Prime Minister inaugurates on 8 October 2026. The theme points to the ambition of the edition, which brings together more than 500 exhibitors and partners, over 600 startups and over 900 thought leaders on one platform. Option A, Digital India for All, names a different government programme and is not the theme of this event. Option C, Connecting the Next Billion, resembles the title of the Ministerial Programme at the event, which is 'Investing in the Next Billion Digital Connections', but that is one session and not the theme of the congress itself. Option D, Sovereign Telecom Future, echoes the CEO Roundtable titled 'The Sovereign Inflection and the Future of Telecom', again a single session rather than the theme. Only option B names the theme of the whole edition.
