Which organisation will host APAC 23, the 23rd Asia Pacific Automotive Engineering Conference 2026?
- A.SIAM
- B.SAEINDIA
- C.ARAI
- D.NITI Aayog
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is SAEINDIA, the professional engineering society that works on advancing mobility knowledge in India and is bringing the Asia Pacific Automotive Engineering Conference to New Delhi on 13 and 14 November 2026. The announcement was issued by the Ministry of Heavy Industries. Options A and C name real bodies in the Indian automotive sector that candidates often confuse with the host: an industry association of vehicle manufacturers and a vehicle research and certification body respectively, neither of which is hosting this conference. Option D, NITI Aayog, is the government's policy think tank and has no role as host here. SAEINDIA runs conferences, technical programmes, professional development initiatives, student competitions and industry-academia platforms, and it is hosting APAC for the second time in India after a gap of 15 years.

- A.The stellar wind of the companion star
- B.The surface of the neutron star
- C.The accretion stream
- D.A ring of dust around the binary
Show answer
The team worked out that the structure responsible had to be rotating together with the pulsar, and the stream fits that description: as it swings between the pulsar and the observing satellite, the direct radiation from the pulsar weakens while the light re-emitted by the stream strengthens, producing the variation…
Read the full explanation →Why is the finding about Centaurus X-3 considered unusual?
- A.A high-mass X-ray binary usually captures stellar wind directly instead of forming a disk
- B.The pulsar was found to have no magnetic field at all
- C.The companion star was found to be smaller than the Sun
- D.The system was found to lie outside our galaxy
Show answer
In such pairs the companion is a massive star that sheds a strong wind, and the pulsar ordinarily feeds on that wind as it passes, so an orderly disk of matter is not expected.
