Under which Act were the three persons arrested in these poppy straw cases?

The correct answer is 4,209.80 kg. The Madhya Pradesh unit of the Central Bureau of Narcotics ran two operations in the week to 11 October 2026, and the quantities recovered in them add up to this figure. The first case, on the Udaipur-Chittorgarh highway, produced 929.08 kg of poppy straw from a container truck, and the second, in Mandsaur district, produced 3,280.72 kg from a Tata truck, which together make the total. Along with the straw the agency seized two trucks and 100 bags of wheat that had been loaded on top of the contraband as cover cargo, and three persons were arrested under the NDPS Act, 1985. The other three options do not match either the individual recoveries or their sum, so they can be ruled out.

The correct answer is bags of wheat. When the Tata truck with a Rajasthan registration number was stopped on the Gandhisagar-Bhanpura road on 9 October 2026 and taken to the CBN office at Garoth for a detailed search, officers found 3,280.72 kg of poppy straw underneath 100 bags of wheat that were being carried as cover cargo. The wheat bags were themselves seized along with the straw and the vehicle. Options B, C and D name fruit crates, cotton bales and cement sacks, none of which figure in this case. It is worth noting that in the other operation, at Neemuch on 5 October 2026, the concealment was different: there the 929.08 kg of poppy straw lay beneath 39 plastic sacks of assorted colours rather than under a grain load.

The correct answer is the Commonwealth Games. At the Chennai jubilee the Prime Minister said India is preparing to host the Commonwealth Games of 2030, and that alongside it the country is carrying forward the dream of hosting the Olympics in 2036. He set this in the context of sport being built up as a career, with new sporting facilities and better training and support reaching young athletes, which he said is raising India's standing in world sport. Option C, the Summer Olympic Games, is the event tied to 2036 rather than 2030, so pairing it with the earlier year is the trap in this question. Option D, the Winter Olympic Games, was not mentioned at all. Option A, the Asian Games, is a continental event and no Indian hosting year for it was announced here. Hosting the Olympics also appeared among the resolutions he repeated with the students, along with a developed India by 2047, a top three economy and an Indian on the Moon.

The correct answer is 52. The Prime Minister said that in the QS Rankings of 2015 only 14 universities from India found a place, and that the latest edition of those rankings carries 52 Indian names. He offered the jump as evidence that the new education policy is lifting the quality of teaching and that institutions in the country are winning wider global recognition, which in turn leaves students with more institutions, more choices and more opportunities. Options A, B and C, namely 28, 36 and 44, are plausible looking intermediate numbers but none of them was the count given for the latest rankings. Aspirants should memorise this as a before and after pair, 14 in 2015 against 52 now, because questions on reports and rankings are usually framed around exactly such a comparison rather than a single year.

The correct answer is more than 1,300. Speaking at the jubilee, the Prime Minister said the count of universities in the country stood at about 750 in 2014 and has since crossed 1,300, a near doubling in roughly a decade. He paired that with the figure for colleges, which has moved from about 38,000 to over 52,000, and noted that several new IITs, IIMs, IIITs and AIIMS were set up in the same years. Options A and B, 900 and 1,100, understate the present count and would wrongly suggest much slower growth than the figure he gave. Option D, 1,600, overstates it; no such number was mentioned at the event. For the examination hall the safest way to hold this is as a pair of before and after figures, about 750 against more than 1,300 for universities and about 38,000 against over 52,000 for colleges.
