Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Q1. {Sci – Bio – Disease} Consider the following statements about about Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS):
- Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) is a rare but serious adverse event associated with certain COVID-19 vaccines.
- TTS is characterized by blood clot formation in combination with low levels of platelets in the blood.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct
- Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) has been observed as a rare but serious side effect associated with adenovirus vector-based COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine and the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
- It involves the development of blood clots combined with low levels of platelets in the blood.
Statement 2 is correct
- Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) is defined by the occurrence of blood clots (thrombosis) in various parts of the body, such as the brain (cerebral venous sinus thrombosis) or abdomen, along with a notable decrease in the number of platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenia).
- There are two types of Thrombosis:
- Venous thrombosis: This occurs when a blood clot blocks a vein.
- Veins transport blood from the body back to the heart.
- Arterial thrombosis: This occurs when a blood clot obstructs an artery.
- Artery carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body.

3. Question
Q3. {Prelims – In News} Kattupoovamkurunnila, recently seen in news, refers to?
Correct
Explanation
- After a gap of 140 years, researchers have rediscovered a rare and endangered tree species, Uniyala multibracteata (locally known as Kattupoovamkurunnila), from a non-protected area of the Vagamon hills in the Western Ghats.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Q4. {S&T – Defence} Consider the following statements with respect to recently notified, the Inter-Services Organisations (ISO) (Command, Control and Discipline) Act:
- The Act aims to replace existing Service Acts like the Army Act, Navy Act, and Air Force Act, providing a single legal framework for all regular Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel.
- The Act empowers the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to ensure coordination in logistics, transport, and support services among the three services.
- The Act allows the Government of India (GoI) to designate any force within India to ensure a flexible legal framework for the armed forces.
- The Act introduces the concept of a Commanding Officer, exclusively responsible for overseeing disciplinary matters within a specific service branch.
How many of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct
- Replacement of Existing Service Acts: The ISO (Command, Control and Discipline) Act indeed aims to replace the existing Service Acts such as the Army Act 1950, the Navy Act 1957, and the Air Force Act 1950. These Service Acts currently govern disciplinary matters within each respective service branch.
- Single Legal Framework: The purpose of replacing these existing Service Acts is to establish a unified legal framework for all regular Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel. By doing so, it aims to streamline disciplinary procedures and ensure uniformity across the armed forces.
- Implications for Regular Personnel: The Act’s applicability extends to all regular Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel, thereby ensuring that they are governed by the same set of rules and regulations.
Statement 2 is incorrect
- While it’s true that the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) plays a crucial role in ensuring coordination among the three services, including logistics, transport, and support services, the CDS’s mandate extends far beyond these areas.
- The CDS is responsible for ensuring “jointness” of the three services in operations, logistics, transport, training, support services, communications, repairs, and maintenance.
Statement 3 is correct
- The ISO Act grants the Government of India the authority to designate any force established and maintained within India.
- This designation determines the applicability of the Act’s provisions, ensuring a flexible and adaptable legal framework for the armed forces.
- By allowing the GoI to designate forces, the Act enables a more comprehensive approach to maintaining discipline and ensuring uniformity across various inter-service establishments.
Statement 4 is incorrect
- The Act does introduce the concept of a Commanding Officer, but their responsibilities extend beyond solely overseeing disciplinary matters within a specific service branch.
- In addition to overseeing discipline, the Commanding Officer is responsible for fulfilling tasks delegated by the Commander-in-Chief or Officer-in-Command of the Inter-services Organisation.
- This broader role implies that the Commanding Officer’s responsibilities are not solely focused on disciplinary matters within a specific service branch.
