Mega Quiz with correct Answer and Explanation! 1. The Devnimori relic casket bears an inscription in: A. Kharosthi script and Prakrit language B. Brahmi script and Sanskrit language C. Devanagari script and Pali language D. Tamil-Brahmi script and Tamil language Answer: B Explanation: The inscription on the relic casket is in Brahmi script and composed in Sanskrit. This is important because many early Buddhist inscriptions were in Prakrit, but the use of Sanskrit suggests a later phase of Buddhism, often associated with Mahayana influence. The inscription reads “dashabala sharira nilaya” meaning “abode of the bodily relics of the Buddha.” Source: PIB 2.

Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are recognized as its natural reservoir. The virus is primarily waterborne in nature. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? A. 1 and 2 only B. 2 only C. 1 and 3 only D. 1, 2 and 3 Answer: A Explanation: Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Nipah virus is a zoonotic paramyxovirus, meaning it spreads from animals to humans. The natural reservoir hosts are fruit bats (genus Pteropus), commonly known as flying foxes. Statement 3 is incorrect. Nipah is not waterborne. Transmission occurs through contact with infected animals (especially pigs), bat-contaminated food like date palm sap, or human-to-human spread via respiratory droplets or bodily fluids.

It lies on a divergent plate boundary. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? A. 1 and 2 only B. 2 only C. 1 and 3 only D. 1, 2 and 3 Answer: A Explanation: Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Volcán de Fuego is one of the most active stratovolcanoes in Central America and forms part of the Central American Volcanic Arc, which is created by the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate. Statement 3 is incorrect because this is a convergent (subduction) boundary, not a divergent one. Divergent boundaries form mid-ocean ridges, not explosive arc volcanoes. Source: India Today 4.
